Should #EUEnlargement with 🇺🇦 🇲🇩 🇬🇪 🇧🇦 🇦🇱 🇲🇰 🇲🇪 🇷🇸 🇽🇰 target the "aspirational" target of 2030?
For the #EU 🇪🇺 itself it would also be nothing short of historic & marking the end of a process that started with victory over the Nazis.
But BOTH the applicants & the EU need to change to make that happen - e.g. national #veto rights have to go, #CAP needs an overhaul, #CopenhagenCriteria must remain important AFTER accession.

One thing is sure: if the #EU wants to accept #Ukraine as a member, the #CAP must be reformed.

EP President @RobertaMetsola
wants formal accession talks for #Ukraine and #WesternBalkan to begin before Christmas.👍
But Commission President @vonderleyen is right that Ukraine e.a. cannot be assimilated without a shake-up of the #EU itself.
We NEED #EUreform ASAP!

"It’s clear that #EUEnlargement and #EURefotm go hand in hand. And we need to begin with this now."
#France 🇫🇷 and #Germany 🇩🇪 back four-speed Europe
#EverCloserUnion must be in the "inner circle"?

What a rule like "all language with more than 20 million native speakers" should be official in the EU institutions (I.e. official translations & publications guaranteed).
I love the EU, but let's be realistic and ensure a workable Union!
Time for an #introduction
I am a historian who is passionate about #EverCloserUnion #EuropeanUnion 🇪🇺 & #democracy. I mostly comment on #CurrentAffairs & #Geopolitics. A lot of my attention goes to #Russia #CEE & #CIS #CSTO spaces. But I may also share my view on #China and #Taiwan, #USA (Trump v democracy) or #UK #Brexit.
Today I focus a lot on #Ukraine 🇺🇦, I hope you #StandWithUkraine & love #NAFO
