Als @netzwerk-ebd.de fordern wir schon lange Mehrheitsentscheidungen / #QMV im Rat zur Norm zu machen. Jetzt gilt es Blockaden aufzulösen und 🇪🇺 handlungsfähig zu machen. Gut, dass auch @aussenminister.diplo.de & @diplo.de nun darauf drängen - Blockaden und Vetos können wir uns nicht mehr leisten!

💡Key finding
This does NOT require Treaty change. The EU already has mechanisms that could be used to expand #QMV step by step in enlargement policy.
✔️ Treaty-compatible solutions exist
✔️ Gradual introduction of #QMV is feasible
✔️ Reforms can build on existing EU practices

So what’s the alternative?
The paper explores how qualified majority voting #QMV could be applied to enlargement — making decision-making more resilient while staying within the EU’s legal framework.

Finally, we agree that #EU should improve decision-making on foreign policy .

🗳️ Shift to #QMV urgent, as some states misuse unanimity to block EU action
⚖️ Reminder: should #Article7 have been used on time, EU's most bad-faith leader couldn't have so much blackmailed EU's foreign action.

De mogelijke effecten van zo een verandering met beperkte gebruik van #QMV zijn, eerst, meer dynamiek in de onderhandelingen en meer geloofwaarding EU. Tweede, sommige lidstaten zullen zich onder druk voelen gezet. Dat is waarschnlijk de redenering van de #Nederlandseregering om tegen te zijn. 2/3

The Irish Times view on qualified majority voteing: a concern for Ireland The national veto has been the single most effective weapon in preserving the corporate tax regime

Irish Times editorial on big powers' wish to remove national veto:
If Simion prevails in the second round of the Romanian election, it will increase pressure to move to QMV.
The move to QMV would pose enormous challenges for Ireland.

This is a genuine question for which I don’t have an answer. But we will not solve the #Orban problem just by moving from #unanimity to #QMV. It is much deeper than that and we need to think of options on how to move forward if countries like Slovakia will block any action on Hungary.

Trotz positiver Einstellung zur EU-Mitgliedschaft & gestiegenem Interesses (70 %) bemängelt eine Mehrheit, dass die EU vielen Aufgaben nicht gerecht wird. Nur mit Reformen für Handlungsfähigkeit, kann die EU das auch leisten! Eine Mehrheit ist für #QMV (70 %) & Stärkung des #EPs (59 %) #ZukunftderEU

Nachdem es bei der Integration von Ukraine, Moldawien, Georgien uvm. vorangeht, muss es nun auch vorangehen mit der #EUReform, um die Handlungsfähigkeit einer größeren 🇪🇺 zu verbessern. Was genau passieren muss, sagt @onethuthree /@DelorsBerlin!

EU - Vietnam FTA and IPA to be signed by end of June.

* First EU Common Commercial Policy agreements to be tabled for adoption by the new European Parliament.

* Third ever EU-only FTA; no provisional application; #QMV

* Fourth EU state-of-the-art FTA with a CPTPP member

Key takeaway: Council agrees to Commission's proposal for new EU FTA architecture; accepts negotiation, signature, and conclusion of five 'EU-only' FTAs in principle. For the first time ever. #QMV

A priori, that depends on #TTIP content, no? Which part will require a unanimous Council decision, you think? #QMV
