If you have good questions, also leave 'em in the comments.@hpod16 a question I had for some time: when it comes to enlargement, are there plans to simplify finding a consensus? How to deal with countries sabotaging decision processes?

@grob ... ahhh the age old questions of veto-power...
Off the top of my head: EU accession, and the fact that it requires all countries to sign off, is written down in the treaties. And any treaty change would require unanimity too. So this is tricky. But I can and will look deeper into this.
Great question, thanks! -

@hpod16 how to get rid of Hungary.
@ewos1986
Let’s hope that won’t be necessary. Elections are coming. Hungary can make a turnaround. Hope dies last… -

It’s not only Hungary. It’s countries that like to take the benefits but refuse to stand up for the common values.

Which aspects of lobbying would you like to know more about?

It seems to give undue influence to those who have most access to resources and disadvantages those people and systems that have no or little money.

housing...

@abhayakara oh yes, housing!
The European commission last year announced the affordable housing plan. It’s fairly new for the EU to get involved in this topic, but I think there’s some interesting stuff there.
Like how do short-term rental platforms, like Airbnb affect house prices in highly touristic areas? And what are the solutions to regulate those? I’ve seen some cool initiatives coming out of certain cities, the EU could make sure that those solutions are shared across borderers… -
