EU Opens Two More Accession Doors for Ukraine

Original version ·

While most thought Eurocrats move at a snail’s pace, Brussels just cleared two massive economic hurdles in record time.

Bureaucracy in Brussels usually moves slower than dial-up internet, yet here we are. Officials meeting in Luxembourg just formally unlocked clusters two and three in accession talks with Ukraine. We are talking about the internal market and competitiveness — seventeen chunky chapters full of single-market regulations, tax rules, and competition policy.

That puts four out of six major negotiating blocks officially open on the table. More than half of the formal road to full membership is now fully unlocked.

Rewriting an entire wartime economy to match thousands of European rules before year's end is certainly one way to speedrun continental integration.
