He suggested that important decisions should be taken by majority vote and not by unanimity, mainly in matters of foreign policy, but also opening the door to tax issues.

The German chancellor is in favor of abolishing unanimity for decision-making in the EU, with a speech at a university in Prague.

He suggested that important decisions should be taken by majority vote and not by unanimity, mainly in matters of foreign policy, but also opening the door to tax issues.

As far as fiscal policy is concerned, he also underlined the need for common rules in the eurozone.

For him, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a wake-up call to change the way decisions are made.

At the same time, he was in favor of expanding the Union to 30 or even 36 countries – taking care to add that the process of talks with the Members to be included must also change.

Telos proposed the coordination of the defense capabilities of the Member States by calling for greater military cooperation while also proposing a jointly constructed anti-aircraft defense system.
