It's a long way for the EU to become a defense union

anyway, an European #NATO wouldn't be enough, since countries will still be able to quietly opt out from it (as the USA is doing now)

the #EU needs a common defense force, but the only way I see it coming is if some countries (for example the #Nordics or the #Baltics) form smaller common defense forces, which may grow with other countries joining later: in a similar way as the EU, Schengen, the Euro were established

@stephie_hamburg Doch, das wurde sehr wohl alles „wahrgenommen“.
Zur letzten Wahl Orbans habe ich eine Doku auf #Arte gesehen, in der die faschistischen und illiberalen Tendenzen klar offengelegt wurden.
Die #EU Regularien haben allerdings nicht viel in der Hand, etwas dagegen zu tun.
Ich erwarte von der #deutschen Bundesregierung, #frankreich , #Polen , #Benelux , den #Baltics und #Nordics auf nationaler Ebene endlich ein klares NEIN gegen #Orban .

Eyo, that #Euro #Latin connect needs to get up and going.

The #EU should definetely be reaching out to #LatinAmerica, and Latin America should definetely be reaching out to the EU - as well as the #baltics, the #nordics, etc.

Trade must be done, but quality must be kept. Increasing the living and production #standards so that #Europe is happy (by synchronizing those friggin #regulations) means that we can open up the #trade valves.

Let the yankies eat pink slime.
No offence, @georgetakei .

“the success of #HeatPumps in the #Nordics is not accidental.

Instead, it is the result of a mix of policy instruments working in concert, such as carbon taxation, government incentives, regulations, quality standards, consumer protection for example through the creation of bodies to deal with complaints and offer redress, and information campaigns.

The natural efficiency of heat pumps has also helped their deployment.” 3/3
