The Austrian Presidency could derail the EU's plans ahead of the 2019 changeover
Austria takes over the EU presidency on July 1, and its six-month tenure is already making waves. Partly, this has to do with the fact that this will be the last full presidency before the EU change-over begins with the European Parliament elections between May 23 and 26 next year and a new Commission in the autumn. There are around 60 priority pending proposals in the Commission’s 2018 work programme to be settled by Council and Parliament but Vienna thereby has ... Read More -

Is Europe ungovernable heading into the 2019 changeover?
“Europe is back,” “the wind is back in Europe’s sails,” “France and Germany will together propel Europe forward” – oh dear, Italy delivers “stinging rebuke” to Europe, “steps back” from the EU, “issues warning” to Europe, “repudiates Brussels”. A week used to be a long time in politics: this was the mood shift in just half a day from the 2-1 vote by German SPD members to back a third grand coalition (‘GroKo’) with Chancellor Angela Merkel since 2005 to ...

Brexit: What happens now that Article 50 has been triggered?
We all knew that it was coming, but that didn’t make it any easier to watch British Prime Minister Theresa May’s letter invoking Article 50 be delivered. The letter starts a two-year process through which the UK’s exit from the EU will take place. One thing is certain: the next two years will be quite eventful!
We have broken the Brexit timeline down into five stages: the triggering of Article 50, preparations for the negotiations, the negotiations taking place, voting on the final deal (in the UK Parliament, European Parliament and European Council) and the UK’s eventual exit, with or without a transitional deal in place.
