It raises doubts about the willingness of the #EU27 to prepare the EU for a potential enlargement to 30+ members.

It undermines the Union's credibility & questions its ability to pass the test of times by living up to the enlargement & reform imperatives.

agree with you.

But we also need to get more serious & credible when it comes to #EU enlargement (incl. UKR & WB) & internal EU reform.

It is worrisome that June 2025 #EUCO failed to present a roadmap as it promised in June 2024.

We must not fail the "Test of Times" on enlargement & reform.

6/ @eucopresident.consilium.europa.eu hat die EU-Erweiterung & Reform auf Standby gestellt.
Die Juni-2025-Schlussfolgerungen liefern keine Roadmap – anders als 2024 angekündigt.
Der Realitätstest für EU & Mitgliedstaaten bleibt bestehen.

The June 2025 #EUCO Conclusions do not present 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.

The Commission did not publish in-depth pre-enlargement reviews, as #EUCO had called for & UvdL had promised.

The Council did not present a follow-up report on future of enlargement & internal reform, as #EUCO had indicated in June 2024.

“These imperatives could be pursued through a bold use of the treaties. But there is little political will to vest such power in the EU. A supra-governmental avantgarde outside the treaties – without sidelining the EU – may thus be the least bad option.” @jaemmanouilidis.bsky.social
