It would be Prudent for Europe to become less reliant on the U.S. and move away from using the U.S. Dollar

as the mechanism used for trading and paying for commodities.
In addition to this re-establish new and stronger ties and co-operative relations with Russia (OIL and GAS) and China for TRADE.
Signing a new and long-term agreeable commerce and industry friendships and unifying the entire continental landmass with infrastructure prepare for future growth in the entire giant landmass of Eurasia, Middle East, Africa.
The entire landmass could thus become a very large infrastructure of rail, shipping, trade, commerce, industry.

Every nation should be as independent as possible for the basics of food, energy, and water...

Trade should simply be a means of increasing revenue for both parties involved in the trade..

@AuRevoir I couldn't agree more with the first part of your answer, it would be wonderful the issue is in lots of countries it is neither possible or practical to be that way. One big factor is space alone to do it all. Secondly in lots of countries they simply don't have enough fertile soil or are climatically in the wrong place to do so.
Take China it is huge but they can't produce enough food to feed the population, they are heavily reliant on imported crops like soya for instance.
