@hpod16 @EUCommission I leaved comment, just now

[hpod16@eupolicy.social]

@sorenhave ohhh, so like public consultations, citizen panels, the european citizen initiatives... There's a lot there, I'm sure we can do that topic eventually! (But we'll also need good comments with questions about this stuff, but I think that's also doable)

[hpod16@eupolicy.social]

@pierre_pebble
Thank yoouuuuuu

[hpod16@eupolicy.social]

@amministratore
Whooohooo
Thanks a million times!

[jensjot@mas.to]

@hpod16 A great initiative and a great video, I like the style of replying to real comments. The frequently switching camera angles gave me a bit of whiplash, but maybe I’m not exactly the targeted audience

@hpod16 @fasnix

if you look at Iceland that way, they're gonna melt

[hpod16@eupolicy.social]

@JensJot
haha thanks for your feedback!
I think we all have attention spans of goldfish here on the social media team, so we feel like the video needs all these angles and quick edits etc...
(and maybe our kickass video editor wanted to show his skills)

@hpod16 @EUCommission

i wouldn't mind some small endorsement under the hood
- have Angelo on the #fediverse
- tell at the end of the episodes that they can reach you ...guess where ?
- ask polls here and report it there !

[hannes99@mastodon.social]

@hpod16 W.O.W. Maybe mirror it on Peertube?

@EUCommission

[hannes99@mastodon.social]

@hpod16 there's automatic mirroring/backup tools between YouTube and Peertube. Some YouTube channels already use it.

@Pepijn

@hpod16 maybe some #Plushtodon will make it into the videos, too?

@hpod16 @EUCommission Thanks, great episode! It was very informative!

[eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@hpod16 @EUCommission i like the video and i'm glad y'all are making these, thank you!

i would consider toning down the dynamic camera angles/movement though, it's a bit overproduced for the type of video it is and most importantly distracts from the actual substance of what's being said

@hpod16 @EUCommission

Hi there, great work! In a next video, could you please discuss about the states of advancement of the caucasian countries (Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan)? Thanks, bye

[anonymouspl@expressional.social]

@hpod16 @EUCommission That’s a fantastic idea! It would be even better if it didn’t rely on a foreign algorithm, but I’m sure you’ll sort it out! 🥳

Regarding your questions:
- How is the EU INC?
- Will there be a common stock exchange so we can invest in European startups and companies instead of the SP500?
- Are there any serious discussions about creating a multi-tier Europe? The idea of formalising coalitions of the willing and allowing some countries to move faster than others?
- will there be a common e-ID app that will allow me to travel across Europe without a plastic ID? Like m-obywatel in Poland (the app is equivalent to your plastic ID—you can verify your identity in the bank or anywhere else). The only thing you can’t do is cross the border (even within Schengen)who’s is a pitty.
- As a EU citizen outside the Eurozone, will I be able to hold and use digital Euro?

I have so many more questions and will post them here sometimes!

[hpod16@eupolicy.social]

@anonymouspl

Oh that European e-ID is coming, and it's a good questions for a video, thanks!

PS: It would help if some of these comments were on YouTube, but I understand if people would rather stay on this platform too

[bicycletting@mastodon.ie]

@hpod16 @EUCommission That's good! Building the new digital world, one brick at a time. Keep up the good work!

@hpod16@eupolicy.social The ENISA has a Peertube instance, maybe they can help out.

@hpod16 @EUCommission
"One thing countries that apply have to ... democracy, human rights, ..."
These terms have got a new meaning to me since the genocide in Gaza*, and since the EU uses illegal means and crimes to prevent refugees from seeking asylum.

So my questions:
What do the European citizens think of the role of EU in the liberation of Palestine?
Is there a way to hold the European Union to account when it's about human rights?

[hpod16@eupolicy.social]

@D1
Thanks for the questions! These might be a bit too heavy for these kind of lighthearded YouTube videos, but it's important to answer them.

What I can tell you about suspending the trade agreement with Israel:
The EU did put forward a proposal here, but in these highly political matters of foreign affairs you need all countries to agree, and Hungary was blocking the whole thing.
With Viktor Orban leaving office today, there's renewed hope that the EU will be able to act.
