An insightful report by @Bruegel_org. Key findings:

If the current EU budget rules were applied with no transitional arrangements – which is unlikely – we calculate the total annual cost of Ukraine's integration into the EU budget at 0.13% of EU GDP.

bruegel.org/policy-brief/u… This would hardly change net recipient/payer positions of current EU members. Some of this funding would come back to the EU via EU companies participating in EU-funded projects in Ukraine.

A thread on the justice reform in Ukraine:

Congratulations to the High Council of Justice for the transparent appointment of the new High Qualification Commission of Judges. Reboot of judicial governance bodies is a significant achievement of the sweeping judicial reform.

1/4 I recognize the heavy task ahead for the HQCJ to select almost 2500 new judges and assess the qualifications of sitting judges. Conducting these two processes fairly, professionally and transparently will strengthen the rule of law and enhance trust in Ukraine.

Siin niit kiire ülevaatega @EuroopaKomisjon presidendi kandidaadi Ursula von der Leyeni programmile, mille esitas täna @Europarl_ET täiskogule. Tuleb arvestada, et selle peamine eesmärk on täna õhtul toimuval hääletusel koosseisu enamus ehk 374 poolthäält kätte saada. 2. Vastavuses 2019 @Europarl_ET valimistel tõusnud trendidega alustas kliima- ja keskkonnaküsimustest. Pakub nn Euroopa Rohelist kokkulepet, Green Deal for Europe. Esimese 100 päeva jooksul esitab eelnõu EL nn kliimaneutraalsuseks aastaks 2050.
