Exciting announcement!
We created a new YouTube channel, and I'm one of the hosts!
We decided to make a series out of responding to comments on the @EUCommission social media accounts.It would really help me out if you hit that like button and leave a comment about what subject we should do next (if commenting on YT is your jam, that is.)
you can watch it here:

Are the EU and China having any serious discussions about working together to end the russian invasion? The USA cannot solve that problem anymore. -
in this way we speak about the #fediverse to a different, mostly unaware, larger audience, without speaking about the fediverse.
Like it's a normal, obvious thing -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgpWMZZg50w&list=TLPQMDkwNTIwMjYd8JjSIgTYBQ&index=1@hpod16 @EUCommission I think the requirement that it should be in the actual continent is arbitrary and unnecessary, and already stretched by allowing applications from Turkey and Georgia. Technically, Armenia shouldn't be able to apply, nor Greenland but that is ludicrous. In other "european" endeavours we already allow for participation by non European countries. Why not in this one? I'd LOVE to see Canada and Australia join.

I'm sure this has been already treated elsewhere but a reminder of the different EU bodies (EC, Council, …), their members, their functions, the way each acts could be a good subject. -

That’s a good idea! Just a back to basics - how does the EU work?
Lord knows we all need it, even I get things wrong still, and I’ve been in Brussels for 10 years -
Remember to put links to your social network accounts in the description of your videos.
You are welcome.
@hpod16
I think uploading 5 videos at the same time is a bad strategy.

If I may nitpick: I'm not sure it's wise to refer to Article 7 as a “last resort”. It might be possible for a member state to effectively kick itself out of the EU, by violating the treaty in such an unacceptable way that the other members unanimously agree that it is no longer in the EU. Article 60 of the Vienna Convention (https://legal.un.org/ilc/texts/instruments/english/conventions/1_1_1969.pdf) would probably be the legal basis for such a decision.

@Veza85UE @hpod16 @EUCommission I think they are economically strong countries and well aligned with European values. Why not?

@rozeboosje Because we're not a mini UN, nor a theme park with trade agreements? We're a common culture bound by a shared legal framework. It seems staggeringly arrogant to me to assume resource-rich countries on other continents would even WANT to be under the jurisdiction of the CJUE. Also: are we TOO functional right now? Are our institutions working SO well that we need to add lawmakers from 10 timezones away with 0 interest in Europe to our legislative process? #CanadaJar

@Peperlito
No worries!If you want to suggest topics for new videos, I'll always be posting these on my Mastodon account too. and I can consider those comments too, when we come to picking the next video topic! (although we already have one in the pipeline I am sure the Mastodon folks will LOVE)
@hpod16 Same issue here, but I'm a one-trick poney, don't even need to say what question I want answered, do I? #WTFisTheCouncil
@Peperlito -
@rozeboosje Because they're not European.
Freedom of Movement is one of the 4 freedoms under our
Treaties. It's not free. There are tradeoffs. You're supposed to pool sovereignty to participate in the Single Market, it's overseen by Courts under law. Btw, Canada has 0 business being in the SM since Manitoba and Québec trade less freely with each other than Sweden and Bulgaria do inside the SM. Why would any EUropean want to dilute the EU, plus extra vetoes in the 2 Councils?

@Veza85UE @hpod16 If that's all true, Canada would not qualify and in that case the point is moot. The point I'm making is obviously contingent on a close alignment between the EU and Canada or Australia. Until that is achieved, if it's even something those countries were aiming for, it is of course a non runner. All I am saying is that merely not being on the continent of Europe should not be an obstacle. Other obstacles, of course, remain.

@rozeboosje The point is moot because Canada is not a European country and our Treaties and our Union are supposed to *mean* something to us. Again, we're not the UN, nor the OSCE and we can have wonderful trade relationships with allies in other organisations that are not the EU.
Because we're NOT giving veto power over our eurolives to Saskatchewan.
Canada simps can spend time and resources on getting the 10 EU statelets that haven't ratified CETA yet to do it.
