However, in many cases, there is a lack of will to implement these projects clearly. The language used also often sounds technocratic and far removed from everyday life. Impact assessments are lacking and political processes appear difficult to grasp. Dr Karas emphasises that this is where good lobbying comes in: it creates clarity, establishes connections and thus gains support. He advises the EU that a social debate on strategic priorities such as competitiveness and economic stability is still needed.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What needs to change<span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"2\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\uf0b7&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;multilevel&quot;}\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Make complex issues understandable<\/strong><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><br \/>\nPolitical projects need simple language and comprehensible goals. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This is the only way to build trust.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"2\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\uf0b7&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;multilevel&quot;}\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Adapt terminology<\/strong><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><br \/>\n\u2018Financial Union\u2019 is gradually replacing the abstract term \u2018Capital Markets Union\u2019.
