Ja och när det väl kommer så är det väl mest sannolikt att det blir en form av verktygslåda snarare än tvingande förslag?

Naturally not an option to buy key defence systems from a country who threatened to invade them.

Vore ju mer trovärdigt om han hade några alternativa förslag.

Exakt. Och ofta väldigt oklart vad som faktiskt avses.

Men visst, Sverige hamnar fortfarande rätt långt under snittet vad vad gäller antal överträdelseförfaranden.

Saktfärdigt Sverige dröjer med EU-rätten – tungroddhet och ovilja Sverige tar lång tid på sig att rätta sig efter EU-beslut. Trögt myndighetssamarbete och politisk ovilja är två tänkbara orsaker.– Det finns något strategiskt

Det här är lite intressant gentemot den rätt vanliga bilden att Sverige alltid ”överimplementerar” EU-lagstiftning och genomför allt i tid.

Dagens EU-rättsliga händelse:

EU-domstolen finner för första gången att ett medlemsstat (Ungern) har åsidosatt värdena som EU bygger på ( artikel 2 i EUs fördrag) genom en lag som stigmatiserar HBTI+ personer.

🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈⚖️🇭🇺 A legal earthquake - CJEU finds Hungary to have violated EU law on multiple counts with its anti-LGBT+ legislation (as expected) but also for the first time in history, in an EU law-reshaping precedent, finds Hungary to violate Art 2 TEU in a self-standing manner.

Very interesting overview here of efforts across Europe.

Somewhere Bismarck is looking down in confusion as Germany projects power by sending 4,000 pensioners, 12 buffet stations and a TUI loyalty program through the Strait of Hormuz

And the truism that Russian leadership might not let the economy influence their war strategy but it will nonetheless, even if they choose to ignore it structure the ability to wage war.

Not least the likely real inflation (15 % as opposed to the official Russian figure 5 %) and budget deficit.

So the rise of Reform complicates things.

Demands from EU on broad political agreement on the British side to be clear, to avoid repetion of past mistakes.

From the EU-side I imagine broad consensus and support from all major parties to join would be required.

Still the political parties (in plural) have to follow for something to really happen.

Quite the development.

On this day 80 years ago-Apr. 20, 1946-the League of Nations dissolved. The organization, created by the 1919 Treaty of Versailles that officially ended World War I, was rendered obsolete by the creation of the United Nations in the wake of World War II.

A Polish Warning for Post-Orbán Hungary: ‘We’ve Been Here Before.’ Wojciech Ciesla is a Polish investigative journalist who witnessed eight years of eroding democratic norms under a populist right-wing government. His country is still recovering. Here’s what he sees ...

Proud to publish this view on Hungary from a Polish colleague.

"As we learned, PiS left a staggering amount of traps and landmines for its successors — and many have proved impossible to defuse. Fidesz, which ruled for twice as long, has done the same in Hungary."

If you are getting deja vu, it is because this is sounding very similar in parts to JCPOA. To be fair, if Iran agrees (i'm skeptical), this is even more extensive than JCPOA but the same concept.
