Borrell: Geo-political imperative for the EU is to both widen and deepen
European Union's foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell called for changing unanimity rule in decision-making process.
“EU enlargement is back high on the agenda and rightly so. Last week, the European Council decided that the future of Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia lies in the EU. The countries of the Western Balkans are already on that path and the EU has also reiterated its commitment towards them,” Josep Borrell said in a blog post on Monday.
“As we revitalize EU enlargement, we must make a similar effort to reform the EU and our decision-making. Because an enlarged EU must also be able to act. This also means reducing the scope of the unanimity rule in foreign policy and other areas, to take more decisions by qualified majority vote,” Borrell added. (ILKHA)
As we revitalise EU enlargement, we must reform our decision-making.
This also means taking more decisions by qualified majority vote, above all in foreign policy.
