The draft #EUCO Conlcusions do not include a roadmap for the future work on internal reforms, as #EU leaders had promised in June 2024.

All this shows that #EU & member states are not adequately responding to the "Test of Times" when it comes to enlargement & reform.

As the shock of Trump’s decision to negotiate a one-on-one peace deal with the Kremlin over the war in Ukraine subsides, Europe has begun to discuss its own action plan for remaining a relevant foreign policy actor, Arkady Moshes writes in the new FIIA Comment.

V good piece on the changed background (thanks to Trump) against which the UK & EU are trying to improve relations. Not everyone (on either side of the Channel) has woken up to the fact that the transatlantic relationship will be quite different in future, & Europe will have to be more self-reliant.

Priorities of the new EU Commission | FIIA The EU has always been more comfortable with long-term policymaking, but recent crises have forced it to become more agile and reactive.

While you're waiting for the US election to start, have a look at our new #FIIA Paper about the priorities of the new #EUcommission!

It's about the impact of recent crises, tensions between long and short-term goals, and the need to know your destination even when you're driving on sight.
