Welcome to the State of the Union from Brussels we are at the beginning of a new year a time when many people start interesting projects that are on their list for the future however we sadly see that some of the most negative legacies of the past year are not only continuing

But are already getting worse in early 2024 this is the case of the wars in which the European Union promised to invest diplomatic and financial efforts particularly those of affecting Ukraine and Gaza following the Ukrainian attack on the Russian city of belgorod on December 30 the Kremlin responded with

One of the strongest missile attacks on the country to date on the other hand the war in Gaza could spread to neighboring countries such as Lebanon from where the esbah group attacks Israel amama second in command who lived in Beirut the capital was killed in a drone strike this week

However given the contradiction between European Union’s Unity on Ukraine and divisions over Gaza the U could lose credibility in the International Community said the Chief Diplomat standards internally the European Union is trying to bridge one of its many divides namely in the shenen area of free movement the European Council agreed to remove

Controls at the internal air and sea borders of Bulgaria and Romania from 31st March 2024 discussions on a new decision to remove land border controls will continue this year EUR news analyzed the sort of partial accession granted to the two member states with dragus tach a Romanian member of the European

Parliament from the renew Europe political group so my first question is how do you characterize this compromise that gives Bulgaria and Romania a sort of partial partnership in terms of being members of the shenen area so it’s partially good and partially bad partially good because it finally breaks

A deadlock that that has been there for for over a year since the initial decision of the GHA Council in December 2022 and initially the announced veto of Austria finally we see willingness on the side of the Austrian government to at least negotiate something but partially also uh negative in the sense

That a very important part of this decision which is the land borders where in fact the cost of non shenen matters most both for Citizens as also for companies in Romania Bulgaria that Still Remains open and worst of it all it remains open without a clear calendar could you

Explain how would this actually then change the life of those citizens in terms of the daily life but also trade and business and Etc it’s not only about the convenience of travel for Citizens although that is very important as well but it’s it’s really the for businesses

It’s it’s a cost that has been evaluated at billions and billions and and and and important percentages of the of the GDP for each of the two countries uh every year of non- shenen basically and in fact if we look at the conditions that were listed in this decisions there are

Supposed to be even reinforced controls at the land bord so in fact it might get even harder for those for for those trucks uh for those uh passengers that are trying to to cross the the land borders we have seen so me so many member states you know from Slovenia to

Hungary to Germany to Austria to to have suspended the shenen area agreement there U every every day or every month there’s a reason that governments present in order to do so can there be a overall uh transformation of the shenen area uh I don’t think we can afford to

Even consider that we can live without shenen um is is it in good health right now no it’s not member states like Austria have been consistently disregarding shenen rules which are very clear as to how long you can impose uh bilateral measures in terms of securing borders in very clear circumstances they

Have to be communicated they have to be justified do we also need to re revisit the governance yes I think we we do uh because I think it is because of unclarities into how the area is managed and how the rules are managed also is leading to to to situations like like

These ones it’s a topic we’ve been talking about since last year’s political rre but the new year brings us even closer we are now entering the six months leading up to the European elections in June with many campaigns already fine-tuning their strategies the rise of the file right seems inevitable

An analyst at Europe elects a research center specializing in polls tells eron news according to our data um as of December 2023 um there’s uh been a the highest result of the identity and democracy group of mar lean and mat salvini in three years with the group scoring a 12%

Results and also the European conservatives and performist of Prim Minister money or the outgoing Bish government of BL Justice that result is around 11% that would be a result of 30 of 203 % um which would be which would be around the same at the result of the

European People’s Party the Cent right and back to New Year’s resolutions at 83 years old Margaret the queen of Denmark announced that she will abdicate the throne the Monarch declared and I quote I have decided that now is the right time on January 14th 52 years after I
