Events Events 19 February 2025 Designing Europe’s future: security, enlargement and sustainable prosperity in 2025 This week marks 1000 days since Russia launched its full-scale war of aggression against Ukraine, an unprovoked and brutal attack on the sovereignty of a European nation. >> 17 January 2024 No government is above the rule of law During the European Parliament’s Plenary session on 18 January 2024, Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) are set to vote on a resolution on the situation in Hungary and the EU funds withheld due to the persistent breaches of the rule of law and fundamental rights in the country. >> 14 November 2023 This is a ‘Whatever It Takes’ moment for the protection of the Rule of Law The General Affairs Council (GAC) is meeting on 15 November 2023, to discuss, among other things, the rule of law situation in Hungary and Poland. Under the framework of Article 7(1) of the Treaty on the European Union (TEU) procedures, the Council of the European Union will engage in discussions addressing the evolving landscape of the rule of law in Poland and assessing Hungary's commitment to EU values. This deliberation follows a series of hearings conducted as part of the Article 7(1) procedure, totaling six for each country. >> 7 November 2023 Enlargement can help the EU protect geopolitical stability to our continent On 8 November 2023, the European Commission will unveil the 2023 Enlargement Package assessing reform progress in the seven Western Balkan states along with Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, and Türkiye. Country-specific reports covering the key areas of the rule of law, fundamental rights, economic development, competitiveness, strengthening of democratic institutions and public administration will also lay down the legislative priorities and benchmarks for the aspiring members to fulfil the Copenhagen criteria imperative to the accession. Finally, the Commission is expected to deliver a long-awaited answer on the recommendation to open accession negotiations with Ukraine. >> 26 October 2023 In times of crisis, the EU needs to be able to speak with one voice On 26 and 27 October 2023, heads of state and government of the European Union will convene a European Council in Brussels. Geostrategic challenges in the Middle East, paired with the ongoing war in Ukraine and EU’s support to the war efforts, have shown that the EU needs closer integration and a more effective foreign policy. To be able to speak with one voice in foreign policy matters, from security and defence to arms procurement, changes are required to the Union’s decision-making processes and institutional arrangements. Treaty reform is even more necessary in light of the increasing calls to accelerate the enlargement process as a stabilising tool for our continent. >> Load More
