MADRID (Reuters) - Spain has written to European institutions asking for an overhaul of the region's common economic policy to better integrate member states, El Pais wrote on Wednesday, quoting an eight-page document written by the Prime Minister's office.

Madrid has asked for greater mobility of labour between countries, increased fiscal union with a common budget and the issuance of common debt in the form of eurobonds. A spokeswoman for the Prime Minister's office was not immediately able to comment or confirm the document.
