EU LEADERS FOCUSING ON MIGRATION AND ENLARGEMENT
Today the European Union’s 27 national leaders held a roundtable in the framework of an informal meeting in Granada, Spain, to look for ways to avoid a new migration crisis and address a longer-term existential challenge of bringing into their bloc new countries, potentially as big and troubled as Ukraine.
The 27 are also expected to discuss the strategic path for the EU after years marred by crises, from the COVID pandemic to Russia’s war in Ukraine to the 2022 energy crunch, and marked by man-made over-hyped challenges including climate change and economic rivalry with China.
From economic aid transfers to decision-making to maintaining cohesion, EU leaders will look on Friday at what needs to change inside their union to allow for another enlargement.
