The European Union faces the challenge of navigating potential vetoes from member states, which can hinder progress on critical issues. To address this, the EU utilizes a range of alternative decision-making strategies. These include the use of "passerelles" (bridge clauses) to shift from unanimity to qualified majority voting, invoking Article 7 to address breaches of the rule of law, and engaging in informal "coffee break" discussions to build consensus. These tactics enable the EU to overcome obstacles and advance its agenda.
