#SOTEU
Etwas differenzierter: DE ist nicht der einzige EU-MS, dem die Ankündigung einer assoziierten Mitgliedschaft aufstößt; zumal dieser Begriff noch nicht definiert ist und die Ankündigung aus der SOTEU scheinbar auch nicht vorab mit den MS abgesprochen war.

Übrigens mag auch CA den Begriff nicht.

Help! Just after von der Leyen #SOTEU address last month there were interviews with the Canadian ambassador to the EU Jonathan Wilkinson from Strasbourg. Anyone know where I might find them?

🇪🇺 President Ursula @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu outlines the 🇪🇺's priorities from her 2026 State of the Union #EUSOTU address, ranging from Europe's security to protecting children online.

It's a good speech. But the huge missing piece is HOW. How will the @ec.europa.eu Commision enforce these changes?

💜 Comment fonctionne l'UE ? Le Parlement européen et le Conseil de l'UE adoptent les textes législatifs proposés par la Commission (l'institution exécutive de l'UE). Le Conseil européen définit l'agenda, et le Conseil de l'UE est composé de ministres.
Et pour le reste ?

💜 How does the EU work? The EP, and the Council of the EU, approve legislation proposed by the Commission, which is the executive institution of the EU. The European Council sets the agenda, and the Council of the EU is composed of ministers.
What about the rest?

💜 Hoe werkt de EU? Het Europees Parlement en de Raad van de EU keuren wetgeving goed die wordt voorgesteld door de Commissie, de uitvoerende instelling van de EU. De Europese Raad stelt de agenda vast, en de Raad van de EU bestaat uit ministers.

🇪🇺& 🇧🇻 are big supporters of 🇺🇦.

It was good to touch base w Norwegian PM Jonas Gahr Støre on how our international partners can do more to support 🇺🇦.

We’ll continue building European defence industry&discussing new forms of decision making, including European Security Council! #SOTEU #WarsawForum

An analysis of eight EU State of the Union speeches finds Urusla von der Leyen's rhetoric on migration, climate and values converging with far-right frames – without adopting far-right words.

Much has already been written about von der Leyen's State of the Union. But with a little distance, one feature stands out: the most interesting parts are the ones where the Commission’s role is least clear ✒️

SOTEU underscored a tension: the EU speaks of security in global terms, yet economic cooperation behind the scenes remains tied to membership. The distinction has tangible consequences - not least for partners like the UK, writes @anandmenon.bsky.social ➡️🔗 shorturl.at/4seJU

Un passage du #SOTEU a sauté...
State of the Union: Von der Leyen speech drops the inclusion of "citizens and civil society" in her announcement of a new "Congress of Europe". According to @ftm.nl it was in the draft but not read out and later deleted from the transcript.

This is only the latest exclusion of civil society by VDL.
