Well, for one, many areas now require "qualified majority vote" instead of unanimous decision.

Few key countries (Germany, France and Italy) got their voting weights in both the Council of Ministers and the European Council increased at the expense of everyone else (witch Germany's voting power doubling).

European Central Bank got official recognition.

European Court of Justice got its jurisdiction expanded.
