EU stands for European Union but for what does the European Union stands for actually?

Commission presents White Paper on the future of Europe: Avenues for unity for the EU at 27
In preparation for the Rome Summit of 25 March that will mark the 60th anniversary of the EU, the European Commission has published a White Paper on the Future of Europe. The white paper, which Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker presented before the European Parliament on 1 March, sets out the main challenges and opportunities for Europe in the coming decade. It presents five scenarios for how the Union could evolve by 2025 depending on the path chosen. The scenarios cover a range of possibilities and are illustrative in nature. They are neither mutually exclusive, nor exhaustive. In scenario 1, “Carrying On”, the EU27 focuses on delivering the positive reform agenda agreed upon by all 27 Member States in 2016. In scenario 2, “Nothing but the Single Market”, the EU is gradually re-centred on the single market while scenario 3, “Those Who Want More Do More”, allows willing Member States to do more together in specific areas. In scenario 4: “Doing Less More Efficiently” the EU focuses on delivering more and faster in selected policy areas, while doing less where it is perceived not to have an added value. Finally, in Scenario 5, “Doing Much More Together”, Member States decide to share more power, resources and decision-making across the board. To encourage debate, the Commission, together with the European Parliament and interested Member States, will host a series of “Future of Europe Debates” across Europe’s cities and regions over the coming months. The Commission will also publish a series of reflection papers on various topics, including one on the deepening of the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). First conclusions could be drawn at the December 2017 European Council in order to decide on a course of action to be rolled out in time for the European Parliament elections in June 2019.

Turkey receives an additional 3 billion euros in 2018 from the EUThierry Debels
The EU-Turkey statement states that "once the
allocated EUR 3 billion are about to be used to the full, and provided all commitments have been met, the EU will mobilise additional funding for the Facility of an additional EUR 3
billion up to the end of 2018"
The enlargement of the EU to include the ten new member states in Central and Eastern Europe and the two Mediterranean islands on 1 May 2004 and Bulgaria and Romania on 1 January 2007 was the result of a tremendous effort to reconfigure not only the frontiers of Europe, but also the concept of what Europe is. Enlargements in 2004 and 2007 did not end the debate about where Europe begins and ends, however. Rather it fuelled the discussion, as neighbouring countries continue to express interest in joining the EU. At the moment it seems that enlargement will continue in the short term to include the remaining Balkan states and Turkey. This process is expected to continue well into the second decade of this millennium. But what then? The borders of the EU have been highly unstable since its inception. The possibility, desirability or inevitability of enlargement has become part of the discourse of the EU. Certain practical and institutional problems, however, are increasingly apparent. Physically can the EU institutions cope with endless enlargement? Psychologically can we cope with a ‘Europe’ that is not constrained by any physically finite framework? Theoretically, is it possible to incorporate the inherently unstable into a constitutional framework?

An astonishing, first-of-its-kind, report by the NYT assessing damage in Ukraine. Even if the war ends tomorrow, in many places there will be nothing to go back to.
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

Bratislava, 16 September 2016
The Bratislava Declaration
Today we meet in Bratislava at a critical time for our European project. The Bratislava Summit of
27 Member States has been devoted to diagnose together the present state of the European Union
and discuss our common future. We all agreed on the following general principles.
Although one country has decided to leave, the EU remains indispensable for the rest of us. In the
aftermath of the wars and deep divisions on our continent, the EU secured peace, democracy and
enabled our countries to prosper. Many countries and regions outside still only strive for such
achievements. We are determined to make a success of the EU with 27 Member States, building on
this joint history.
The EU is not perfect but it is the best instrument we have for addressing the new challenges we are
facing. We need the EU not only to guarantee peace and democracy but also the security of our
people. We need the EU to serve better their needs and wishes to live, study, work, move and
prosper freely across our continent and benefit from the rich European cultural heritage.

We need to improve the communication with each other – among Member States, with EU
institutions, but most importantly with our citizens. We should inject more clarity into our
decisions. Use clear and honest language. Focus on citizens’ expectations, with strong courage to
challenge simplistic solutions of extreme or populist political forces.
We committed in Bratislava to offer to our citizens in the upcoming months a vision of an attractive
EU they can trust and support. We are confident that we have the will and the capacity to achieve it.
We welcomed the State of the Union speech of the President of the Commission.
We held a broad debate on the key priorities for the coming months. On this basis, the President of
the European Council, the Presidency of the Council and the Commission proposed the following
work programme (the "Bratislava roadmap"):
