Is this as simple as it looks or am I missing something?
"Willi Stächele, Baden-Württembergs Minister für europäische Angelegenheiten, betonte in seinem Grußwort die Notwendigkeit eines vereinten Europa, in das man ***die Menschen mitnehmen wolle***."
"...emphasised the need for a united Europe, a "Europe of the people""? (Meaning that the people are involved in its creation or that their feelings are taken into account?)
Many thanks for your help!

carry
We ask that the Turkish Prime Minister should not accuse us of exploiting the Turkey issue for our own internal policy purposes. On the contrary, we are engaged in discussions with the public, and we have to carry the people with us if we are to unite Europe.

The right hon. Member for Shropshire, North is right in believing that we all have an aversion to taxes, and quite right too. That is natural, basic, right and proper. At the same time as we are thinking about the problems involved in taxing people, however, we should also understand that if we want to carry the people with us, the essential thing is to decide to opt for fair taxes. My hon. Friend the Member for Peckham was right to highlight that.

explanation/bringing the EU closer to ....
I can't offer you a nice translation but at least an explanation. He wants to convince the people of the values, worth, advantages whatever of Europe. A common complaint is that everything is decided in Brussels and "the man on the street" does not care about the EU cause he does not know anything about it. Die Leute mitnehmen does not mean getting them involved (that would be taking it too far, wouldn't it :-)) but simply "bringing EU closer to the man on the street" or sthg. along these lines

with which people can identify
Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but my first thought would be "with which people can identify"
