Европейский Парламент обсуждает пути усиления поддержки стран Восточного партнерства

Члены Европарламента предлагают создать целевые фонды для Украины, Грузии и Молдовы в преддверии 5-го саммита Восточного партнерства, который состоится в Брюсселе 24 ноября 2017 года.

По мнению депутатов Европарламента, целевые фонды для ведущих стран Восточного партнерства могут быть сосредоточенны на частных и государственных инвестициях для поддержки социальной и экономической инфраструктуры. Эта мера была одним из ряда предложений, принятых на заседании Комитета по иностранным делам Европарламента во вторник (10 октября). Резолюция по рекомендациям для Восточного партнерства была принята 40 голосами против 6, при 1 воздержавшемся. Ожидается, что по проекту текста проголосуют в ходе пленарного заседания парламента на его ноябрьской сессии в Страсбурге.

Депутаты Европарламента также предлагают расширенный формат дальнейшего сотрудничества "EaP+" - модель, которая предусматривает участие восточных партнеров в таможенном, энергетическом и цифровом союзе и даже в Шенгенской зоне, а также отмену тарифов на мобильный роуминг.

По мнению Комитета по иностранным делам, укрепление экономических реформ поможет ликвидировать монополии, ограничивая роль олигархов и поможет в борьбе с отмыванием денег и уклонением от уплаты налогов.

"Саммит Восточного партнерства должен придать новую динамику, сформулировать четкое политическое видение и оставаться актуальным для всех шести восточных партнеров, которые имеют разные устремления. Мы предлагаем привлекательную долгосрочную модель "EaP+" для ассоциированных стран, которые добились существенного прогресса в осуществлении реформ," - сообщила содокладчик Лайма Андрикене из Европейской народной партии.

"Восточное партнерство - это нечто большее, чем подписание соглашений на двухгодичных саммитах, а именно поддержка восточноевропейских партнеров ЕС в осуществлении важных реформ в области демократии, верховенства закона и основных свобод. Мы хотим добиться большего прогресса в проведении реформ и улучшения реализация ранее согласованных инициатив," - добавил Кнут Флекенштейн, докладчик от группы "Социалисты и демократы".

Borrell tells the European Parliament that the situation in Afghanistan was critical, but the EU will remain engaged

Turkiye to host COP31 in 2026

A consensus has emerged during COP 30, currently being held in Belan, Brazil, that COP 31 will be held in the Turkish city of Antalya, in 2026. In 2026 Turkiye will host another global event, the NATO leaders summit. Turkiye is set to host COP31 after reaching compromise with Australia.  The COP31 climate meeting is now expected to be held in Turkey after Australia dropped its bid to host the annual event. Under the UN rules, the right to host the COP in 2026 falls to a group of countries made up of Western Europe, Australia and others. A consensus must be reached but neither country had been willing to concede. Australia has now agreed to support the Turkish bid in return for their minister chairing the talks following negotiations at COP30, currently being held in Brazil. This unusual arrangement has taken observers by surprise. It is normal for a COP president to be from the host country and how this new partnership will work in practice remains to be seen. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called the compromise with Turkey an "outstanding result" in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), noting Pacific issues would be "front and centre". He added that he had spoken to Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape and Prime Minister Rabuka of Fiji. There will be relief among countries currently meeting at COP30 in the Brazilian city of Belém that a compromise has been reached as the lack of agreement on the venue was becoming an embarrassment for the UN.
