What can we expect for the year ahead? 🇪🇺
This week, President Ursula von der Leyen will deliver the State of the Union address, laying out the concrete steps that will shape Europe’s future. As we move from promise to progress, our 5 core priorities are:
🛡️ Security & Defence
🤝 Support for Ukraine
🚀 Competitiveness & AI innovation
📱 Social Media & child safety online

Security:
- Is unification (federalization if you really insist) of the EU Member States army on the list?
- Would it include transport infrastructure as well?
- (also funny to speak about security when people who wish to own weapons are "bullied")
- And are we going to finally fucking tell people the situation and provide them with guides on how to behave in crisis?!?!

@The_Universality @EUCommission Unification of EU militaries is not going to happen because EU member states don't want it.
Teaching people how to behave in a crisis is the task of member states.
Agreed about weapon ownership, but again, member states would not support forcing common sense rules. They want to keep their superstitious local rules.
@elgregor @EUCommission
"They want to keep their superstitious local rules."
That is precisely the issue.
I understand some not being for full on unification/federalization, but the fragmentation in trade rules/military/energy is needed.
