This paper argues for a thorough reappraisal of flexibility as an instrument of integration and outlines the conditions under which it would help the enlarged EU to move forward. According to the authors, flexibility has been used too often in the past as an efficient threat to induce reluctant or laggard member states to keep pace with the integration process. They therefore put forth different conditions for the successful application of the flexibility mechanism.
