Well, if I ever needed proof Nowarke was an elitist with no connection to the general population, I have it now in sapdes. I know you're ignoring me Nowarke, but you might like to consider how close your rhetoric is to classical political facism, particularly the bit about the ignorant plebs.

Great thing about this also is that a great many nations already have regional bodies already existing! Britain, France, Spain, Germany... so it would simply be the total eradication of a tier of government across the board. Great savings too! No need for 26 identical governmental departments, simply one, the European one.

Now, we revamp European Parliament system to make it at least AV, if not STV voting system, electing representatives across Europe from the areas they reside in based on population, then with a second house 'Senate' based from the local regional parliaments which would be the counter balance with the Parliament. There would be a constitution safeguarding the rights of the citizens of Europe. The areas are mostly autonomous in nature anyway, the nation/European parliament would only deal with issues that affect everyone as a whole such as Defence (Armed Forces), Foreign Office, and those typical departments you would expect.

Ultimately, the system is built in a way that people can simply get on with their lives without having to worry too much about what happens in Brussels as nothing really that meaningful occurs, other than the odd speech saying dictator x should stop being a naughty boy.

As for "Economical Policy", I think it is safe to say that it should be copied more from Germany and China than Britain or the United States. (Especially not Italy or Greece)

Ultimately even if people are refusing to accept it, Britain isn't some great powerful mystical nation, it is a husk of its former self, a complete joke in many regards and in the next decade or so, I doubt it would even be Britain anymore, it would simply be "England" with Scotland seceding and rejoining the European Union and Northern Ireland re-uniting with it's Irish neighbours and the Falklands being sold off to Argentina for the fraction of the price in efforts to 'Fix the Debt'.
So, really you invisage a herd of 50 to 100 cats instead of 27, and you assume that this new "national" EU government will keep itself nice and unobtrusive. That didn't work in the US, the Federal Government is one of the post powerful and controlling regimes in the world. Not necessarily a bad thing, but not your objective.

As to economics, the economics of Northern and Southern Italy aren't even harmonised, good luck imposing a one size model on the whole of Europe.

Another thing, while we're here: Are you going to ask before "destroying" these nation states, or are you going to do it with tanks?

Yes lets save the burning house by putting in place a plan to buy a new fire engine next year to give people "Confidence"

This new plan does nothing to fix a banking problem which has now become the problem for the whole Euro both North and South.

There plan of course to avoid referendum is doomed in Ireland as we cannot change our constition without one.
