@andrewduffeu.bsky.socialA useful dose of realism applied to the Commission's minimalist proposals on reform and enlargement. Thanks to Luke Dimitrios Spieker. verfassungsblog.de/preparing-fo...
@andrewduffeu.bsky.socialOne looks forward to seeing the Commission's legal draft of its new "dedicated institutional safeguard" against breaches of the principle of sincere cooperation among EU member states. Best to get it in place before the French presidential elections. @martakos.ec.europa.eu

I've been arguing for years that the UK needs to run a proper enquiry into all its EU options (including as here Article 49 bis). And PR is a prerequisite for rejoining in any case. @libdems.org.uk @labouruk.bsky.social www.newstatesman.com/politics/bre...

@verfassungsblog.deReposted by @andrewduffeu.bsky.socialWhat would an associate membership of Canada with the EU look like? And what would it mean for the EU's future accessions?
ANDREW DUFF presents a draft article regulating such an association and hails this new EU flexibility.

@zachelsbury.eurosky.socialReposted by @andrewduffeu.bsky.socialMaybe I’m being a bit too charitable, however linking accession of what would be a large member-state with institutional reform doesn’t sound all that crackers when read in conjunction with @andrewduffeu.bsky.social’s recent paper on enlargement.
