Bruxelles prezintă azi propunerile pentru a face „pilula” extinderii mai ușor de înghițit pentru cei 27

The European Commission is set to present proposals aimed at easing concerns among EU member states regarding the potential accession of new countries. These "pre-accession" measures focus on preparing the EU for a larger membership, particularly with candidates like Montenegro, Albania, Moldova, and Ukraine. While the first three are smaller nations, Ukraine's integration poses significant challenges due to its size and agricultural power. Safeguard clauses are being considered to protect existing member states, especially in agriculture. Concerns about potential blockages from new members have led to calls for limiting veto rights. Candidate countries emphasize their desire for full EU membership as soon as possible, with hopes for accession by 2030.
