'''Multi-speed Europe''' or '''two-speed Europe''' (called also "variable geometry Europe" or "Core Europe" depending on the form it would take in practice) is the idea that different parts of the [[European Union]] should [[European integration|integrate]] at different levels and pace depending on the political situation in each individual country. Indeed, multi-speed Europe is currently a reality, with only a subset of EU countries being members of the [[eurozone]] and of the [[Schengen area]]. Like other forms of [[Differentiated integration|'''differentiated''' '''integration''']] such as '''à la carte''' and '''variable geometry''', "multi-speed Europe" arguably aims to salvage the "widening and deepening of the European Union" in the face of [[Euroscepticism|political opposition]].
