🇪🇺 Conference on the #FutureofEurope, an historic opportunity towards a Federal Europe. It must send a clear message to citizens that their voices will be heard. #toFedEU ✅ UEF & Young European Federalists welcome the resolution adopted yesterday by the European Parliament 👉 bit.ly/2uPAhU0

Genuinely curious to hear a good justification for the Eurogroup’s existence. Relevant piece by Mehreen Khan.

47 years of lost in translation. History will show that the final words ever uttered by the EU to the UK ambassador before Brexit were "thank you, goodbye and good riddance" on.ft.com/2Sc1N6e

Looking forward to building up Hanbury Strategy’s presence in Brussels together with a great team in BXL, London and Berlin. (PR week didn’t seem to think that Young European Federalists experience was important - couldn’t be more mistaken!) prweek.com/article/167331…

Acc to Peter Mueller, 🇩🇪🇫🇷 compromise proposal is 1.04%. This would mean to cut 35bn from Michel nego box. And these cuts surely won't come from cohesion and CAP. Overall, 1.04% means overdelivering on closing Brexit gap through cuts. It would mean falling contributions. #EUCO

Europe's "Hamiltonian Moment" Must Be Now! A short thread. EU econ forecasts are quickly being revised to the Covid19 reality of maybe 15+% drops in GDP in 1H 2020. This from a perfectly exogenous shock that no member state had any culpability in, invalidating any claim of 1/n

Very proud to see Young European Federalists going strong also in the midst of a pandemic. About 100 delegates present at JEF’s first virtual statutory meeting this weekend is a great sign of commitment and unity. Well done @leoniemartin90 & Milosh Ristovski & everyone involved for making it possible!

I had a Banking Union joke but forgot the final part of it.

Well done, Emily!

Time flies!

Remarkable threat. And it’s not even a matter of interpretation. Art 48: “...the Commission may submit to the Council proposals for the amendment of the Treaties. These proposals may, inter alia, serve either to increase or to reduce the competences conferred on the Union”

“National governments are playing nice now as they vote on each other’s plans. We should expect much heavier scrutiny when it comes to member states requesting payouts,” Forefront Advisers EU Director Christopher Glück told EURACTIV, reports SarantisMichal. eurac.tv/9TAp

The stance of the new German government on EU rule of law matters will be critical in the escalating row between Brussels and Warsaw, EU Director Forefront Advisers Christopher Glück told EURACTIV. By @pm_kaczynski. eurac.tv/9UrS

Which sanctions would really have an impact? Here’s what I told Forbes: - Sovereign debt - Banking - SWIFT forbes.com/sites/johnhyat…

A month ago, at this hour, I had to tell my two daughters - 3.5 years old and 20 months old - that they must remain completely silent. No word, no cry. It was 7AM, they had just woken up in a dark room with no electricity or food, and five people were shouting outside the window.
