A draft vision for the Triple 6 region European & Central Asia 2029 #VisionUnitedEurope CEE BC will start now a strategy development process for a vision statement and strategy for the triple 6 region and where we see it in 2029 – next year a decade onwards Based on the 17 pillars of European prosperity as above CEE BC will discuss the security, customs, economic integration, currency, trade, regional cooperation mechanism, economic reform & economic and social achievements during the next decade. The main questions, issues & topics with the where we stand with NATO, EU, Customs Union, Euro, RCC, CEFTA, EaP & SEE regional reform sector cooperation mechanism and the enlargement, integration and inclusion of triple 6 region in various extent & level &scope. This will be open call and all welcome to contribute. A draft Vision for CEE BC could be like: CEE BC is aspiring for a united entrepreneurial open economy from Albania to Mongolia uniting 18 ex -socialist transition economies with each other and with the EU Internal Market and the EU either as full member of EU or as member of CEFTA or forming a Customs Union like Turkey has with the EU since 1995. The objective is to have common market along European regulatory standards allowing market economy based on competition fair and open for FDI and SME. #EUSMEPolicy

Please for the 2018 Newsletter see our archive http://cee-bc.org/en/storage/CEE%20BC%20Members%20Letter%2021-2018.pdf Please see our website at www.cee-bc.org End of newsletter – below only summary #OpenWest2030 The current confrontation between West and Russia taking place in the fragile periphery between EU and NATO and Russia in the wide arch from Belarus to Libya back to Central Asia with Syria as the linchpin of hell started back in 2007 with President Putin speech in Munich Security Conference. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQ58Yv6kP44

This Feb 07 speech came after Iraq liberation going wrong and more important for our context here the membership of Romania and Bulgaria in EU so completing the 2nd wave of NATO and EU Enlargement which allowed 3 Ex-Soviet Republics and all of Ex Warsaw Pact to join

NATO and EU and Slovenia from ExYU. It was the start of the end of the post-Cold War European unification process started by Maastricht in 1992 which paved way for integrating about 100 Million Europeans from former Communist occupied Eastern Europe. Now a generation later we can objectively celebrate this amazing achievement as it turned out very successful in all aspects. But a resurgent and revanchist Russia from 2007 opened the new, different but clearly war like Cold War 2.0. The West never wanted nor acknowledged, and does not today it but that started back than by Russia and then came Bucharest NATO Summit 08 securing Albania and Croatia in NATO but failing to get Ukraine, Georgia and North Macedonia secured in NATO and we are now 12 years later. And we had the financial crisis of 08, war in Georgia 08, Arab spring with civil war in Libya and Syria from 11 to today, Greek debt & Euro crisis, Russia’s war in Donbas and annexation of Crimea in 14, migration crisis of 15, escalation of Russian intervention in Syria supporting Assad Reconquista, Brexit funded by Putin, Trump victory supported by Russia. Quite a list. And despite all this the West and its main institutional framework build after WW2 and Cold War has managed to include Croatia in 2012, enlarge Euro, OECD, WTO and recently managed to include Montenegro and North Macedonia in NATO. And we are have recovered from 08 and GDP of Western World with 45Trillion $ is impressive and we have significantly increased NATO defence spending and capacities after 2014 start of Ukraine war at Wales when about everybody started to understand how serious Putin was in 07 and is in 14 and keeps being in 20. And clearly as West really does not war cold or hot with Russia but the confrontation is there so how to win it. Well again we have to win it economically and institutional. Economically we outperform Russia by far and we need to reform true, lower taxes in Germany, France and Italy and do TTIP and more FTAs and complete internal market of EU, reducing importing Russian energy by #GreenDeal And we are doing all this and more. But at the same time, we have to win institutionally by opening and enlarging Western institution and including more states in the key framework of institutions West build after WW2, post-Cold War and as well post Balkans War. Simple offer more members who want anyhow to join all these organisations to join faster and support them more to join WTO, OECD, OSCE, NATO, EU, ECB, RCC, CEFTA and more. Please find the list with all the organisation attached and with the countries and timeline for all of them to join. And ask yourself: do you consider this good organisation? Most decent people will. And so why not include more state to allow them to benefit from membership? Sure, there are costs and Russia is opposed and we have to convince and explain to our public and elites but the current conflict is as well costly and damaging. Alone the Russia fuelled Syrian refugee crisis from 15 had major costs for taxpayer and major damage for Western political system leading to rise of populism, Brexit and Trump. Funding and support international institutions and their membership preparation and capacity cost much less! Sure, Russia is very much opposed to all of that so we have to phase in first the opening and enlarging of our institutions and UN must come later. But the effect will already be significant as it will show Russia that the whole effort they do since 07 is futile. Some argue we should not to that and grant sphere of influence for Russia but we tried, wrongly and the devastating result are to be seen in Eastern Ukraine and Syria and so on! No, the way is to enlarge and open the West! In one major effort during this decade. And there is a big moral case behind that. First, not doing enlargement signals weakness and rejects countries and undermines the whole case why we have it frost place! And secondly the is the underlying narrative that West is excluding most of World and is a club of rich exploiting the poor and so Russia needs Brics, EAEU and OPEC to counter the bias and unfair world order #West build only for Western benefits. First it is wrong, secondly, we have to fix what might be perceived as such unfairness to undermine the case and narrative spread by Russia. And always be clear it is a membership process based on freedom. So, all who want to join are welcome. There are clear rules but we have to be much more open and supportive, less protectionist and more supportive for the fragile new emerging world to join a new and

more open West. It is still the same institution and the underlying values remain the same. Freedom, rights and democracy, sound economics and reasonable mutual free trade and reasonable rational and responsible governance and conflict resolution inside our institutional framework. But more inside and more support for getting inside faster. #OpenWest2030 Please find the list and the detailed explained will be developed in coming weeks but the list is very clear. Some less regional reform mechanism, the links are added but mostly it is clear and obvious which international organisation on left and which countries on right column. Please find as well the homework left to do for Kosovo recognition and as well the 3 organisations OPEC, EAEU and BRICS which should be phased out until 2030. #West2020 #OpenWest2030

#OpenWest2030 start opening and enlargement of key #West institutions during an enlargement decade until 2028 -2030 start now!

#Priorities2020 for #FutureofEurope #EU37 #Euro34 #NATO42 and #EAP13 EU Enlargement and Eastern Partnership policy are central pillars for #PostBrexit #EU defining its role in World, discussing #GlobalEurope #FutureOfEurope defining our relations with Russia and Turkey. The EU needs to secure, stabilize and set this region on a secure prosperity trajectory. So, what needs to be done? First, the EU needs a holistic approach for the whole region for long term. The best framework to support development & cooperation is within our post-Cold War & SEE regional reform and cooperation infrastructure led by CEFTA and RCC and all the related regional sector reform mechanism to which all countries in region should be invited. The EAP itself should be enlarged to include Turkey and Central Asia and Mongolia #EAP13 with the perspective 2030 of a Customs Union with EU based on the EU Turkish 1995 role model. One additional key link to EU for all region interested should be the currency peg with the Euro. And the countries which want to join #NATO and EU fully? First, only #NATO members should join #EU as only #NATO has the reform capacity for the security and defense sector. But NATO members should as well join faster, meaning Montenegro, North Macedonia and Albania should join during this Mandate by 2023. The 6 remaining interested countries Serbia, Kosovo, Bosnia, Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia who all have serious structural issues should join in next mandate by 2029 once they are Member of NATO & ready for the new Membership offer by EU required to integrate the challenged and challenging 9 new future EU members. As clearly only Montenegro is reasonable ready for EU Membership & even Montenegro has issues to address, so all should be invited to join but on a new #MembershipMinus basis. The EU should not impose #CVM after membership but #CVM style judicial supervision, similar to #EULEX should be agreed before, the Euro adopted before and specific appointment authority of central agencies should be co-managed by & with EP for the first decade of Membership and then phased out according to progress. Why such a new membership status and why accelerated accession on this basis? Convergence outside EU and Euro is impossible economically in reasonable timeframe as EU is growing as well and the growth rate to catch up is almost impossible outside EU and

Euro. Same is with political reform not delivering required results outside the context of a credible EU Membership perspective and inside EU much faster progress is secured. Yes, to EU Enlargement for all NATO Members leading the EU from 27 to 37 #EU37 (one place we shall always keep open for the UK in whatever constellation). Who wants to be part of #EU37 please first join #NATO, adopt #Euro, accept CVM and concede #Appointment Authority and transform, reform, progress and accede much faster. At current speed of economic convergence and political reform we face many risks and possible decades of delay. Better to concentrate efforts for a decade of enlargement #EU37 by 2029 and #EU30 by 2022 including Albania, Montenegro & North Macedonia! @ #CEEBCNL #CEEBC #CEEBCKeyIssues #ETRkeyissues

Outlook2020 – what needs to be done? To complete Europe in #EU37… Dear #CEEBC network, 2020 is a year which will see major progress in European periphery from Balkans to EAP as well in European relation with Central Asia. As start of new mandate full of energetic leaders in #EU, a new Government in the key country #EuropeanUkraine all key players for change and reform are now secure in their position and so expect a lot of dynamic reforms. At least CEEBC hopes so and will call for them. And we had a serious political crisis of our #EU enlargement policy, our trade policy and our foreign policy during the last 6 months from G7 onwards to now. Be sure not a real crisis in terms of war or financial shocks – we had enough of this now for a decade now, from Syria to Ukraine and from 08, 11, 14, 15,16 wow! how many from the financial crisis 08 to the Greek crisis, Syrian crisis leading to the migration crisis, the Ukraine War leading to massive Russian intervention in the USA and UK political system resulting in Brexit, well what a series of shocks and wars! But since Mid 2016 the Brexit shock somehow the EU leadership has risen to the challenge and successful opened EU to the world by concluding #Mercosur, #CETA, #EPA with Japan and several major FTAs with Vietnam, Singapore, and more is in the pipeline. Lest we forget, this is the core of Europe, the EU is very much a trade integration system and WTO notified trade block, so well done! The shock of Brexit led decision makers to the realisation that non-Action has a cost as well! These FTA were decades in the making and there are major milestones for Europe and the World! Sure, one the other core of what the EU is about, Enlarging the EU and all its instruments from Schengen to Euro to sectors unions and market from Transport to Energy - we are in a crisis given the major tragic mistakes of Juncker/Hahn at the start of 2014 with discrediting enlargement with their terrible mistake of saying there will be no enlargement in their times and they never recovered from that nonsense. With all respect this was utter nonsense! While they had success with #PrespaPeace –and did some substantial contribution for stability in Ukraine the tragic mistake of discrediting Enlargement and blaming enlargement for the

failures of Europe - well from such a narrative you can never recover. When the leadership of #EU themselves thinks we got and get it wrong, so wrong we have to reverse course and stop allowing new members! We did it wrong, when EU leadership - the President of EC considers it wrong that we allowed countries to join and adhere to our regulatory and political unification framework- well you do not need populists of left or right of #RT or #Putin or #Trump anymore to do more damage. If we do not believe in what we have done since #Maastricht and before and now, well there is no help than. If enlargement - meaning including all Europeans who desire so into what we build, the EU - is wrong then there must be something fundamentally wrong with EU isn’t it? It is like a company CEO calling consumers not to buy their products anymore. It is like the Pope recommending Islam, it is like the president of Barcelona recommending Real Madrid. OK, the EU is not a Church, club nor company. But an EU elite not promoting others to join it simple nonsensical. Cleary not everybody in World but clearly everybody in Europe who wants may, shall and can join #EU – that is the very sense of what we are doing since 1956 Messina and ever since. And ever will be. Until we are complete including Ukraine and all Balkans and everybody who wants to join and it ready to do what it takes to join in terms of rights, freedoms, values and principles. #EU37by2029 is clear. And maybe more later. Nobody has the right to reject Europeans. Certainly, nobody who claims to work for Europe, is paid by European Taxpayers and believe in our Founding Fathers. For some rich Western European Member States anyhow more interested in Africa like France who thinks still deeply in Imperial power concepts and consider Eastern Europe lost to Germany or Russia anyhow and has little to no information, interest or care for the 200 Million people living in the 25 countries between EU15, Russia and Turkey. If you see CEE like that and care so little and see enlargement just as cost or power issue with fragile states holding voting rights in #EUCouncil and #EP and not in terms of morality, history, security and political common sense you can behave like #Macron sure but it is not possible for a reasonable, reasonable and rational European leadership! It is obvious to understand France wants to be paid to allow Enlargement, paid by Germany in terms for supporting France Africa policy, paid by #EUTaxpayers so that French Defence efforts can be pooled on EU level and paid for opening the Agriculture market to Eastern Europe, leaving less for French farmers if the cake of CAP does not get bigger and paid for and by higher German EU contribution and well - it is a price worth paying for. #EU37 matters more than some 1% of EUGDP more on EU level – we anyhow need to do more together in future. It would be just kinder and more honest to say it clearer and not threaten everybody with pro Putin rapprochement bashing NATO and trashing EU – simply say France cannot afford is Africa policy, its defence spending and is used to subsidies and it needs German transfers to pay for all this and we have to find a European settlement #Maastricht 2.0 copying the role model deal of creating the Euro as price for German unity which was the basic deal 1990 to 1992. And similar now we need to #Europeanize France Africa policy, we need to Europeanise French Nuclear policy in deterrent and Aircraft carriers and ensure higher EU cohesion to help French regional disparity to converge better with EU level prosperity. We have to buy France compliance for #EU37 as price for getting Ukraine, Balkans, Moldova and Georgia into #Euro34 and #EU37 and #NATO42. Security of Eastern Europe in NATO, EU and Euro is a price well worth paying for German Austria, Swedish and other net payers doubling their efforts. Some might see it different. They are wrong. This is much cheaper then war, even as the new #ColdWar2Zerolight we are currently in – declared or not…War is very expensive, so is insecurity, chaos and loss of trust in European capacity to integrate, secure and Eastern Europe. And as the success of all new countries have shown their people are successful integrated in the European Labour Market, the economies are all very successful, the political sector is partly

a mess, but for sure better than ever and be sure it would be much worse outside EU and we are ourselves to blame that we did not create all the powerful European tools we need to improve Member States pollical and judiciary system as we ourselves did not want to create the necessary EU level instructions as we were too happy without selves when we could. Well we learn and catch up and there is #EPPO now and it will be stronger, there will be #European FBI and there will be #EuropeanSupremCourt and we will be more powerful strong EU over time. Anyhow Enlargement worked very well and will again. And the reasons why it is good for Central Europe are the same and well it will take more to get France consent and these items make sense as well that it is just rational to pay it. That is the logical why we need 1,4 and by 2028 2% of #EUGDP to be spend on EU level. We can soften the payment terms by keeping German, Austria and other EU net payers at 1,5% Defence obligations as anyhow it won’t be used very effectively ever. And we will need more funds now for 2 decades for Eastern Europe and afterwards when Russia will end it authoritarian phase and transforms into a Democracy and Market Economy this will require significant transfers from #West and it is good when Eastern Europe is much richer by then and we can reduce military spending to free it for transforming #freeFederalRussia. Let us not forget that China uses only 1,1% GDP for Defence and we should reduce defence spending as well once Russia is no longer hostile. That will come, maybe 2030 or 2040 but by then we should be fully integrated Union of #EU37 and successful best to complete unity by 2029 – make that the 2004 for Eastern Europe and it takes 15 years for decent prosperity we have now in EU28 so we are in 2044 – 15 years in after 2029 when we should be at Estonian or Romanian levels of today for all new EU 9 countries between 12000 today $ GDP capita some should be better but that is 4 times for Ukraine which matters most. That is 4 times in 25 years only possible within EU, Euro, NATO. 25 one generation is what is takes for Ukraine to be at today’s Romania prosperity level if we allow Ukraine in EU like we did with Romania and 2 generation outside and maybe more or maybe never with all the risk of political slide back in pro Russia oligarchy. So, to make that possible we need #MembershipMinus a kind of assisted, supported EU Membership to allow all 9 to join #EU37 by 2029 fully but on this new assisted basis and to keep that for first decade from 2029 to 2039 or whenever the new members are fully ready with their judiciary and please note we will anyhow have more powerful federal judiciary by then so maybe a decade is not needed. #EU will be fully capable with #EuropeanFBI #strongEPPO and #EuropeanSupremeCourt - We have to reform the present post-Communist turned oligarch dominated judiciary and make it political sellable in EU to accept new members as we have the tools to supervise and improve the pollical and judiciary system and tell the political elite their do not own the assets’ people and institution of their nation but have to keep the rules as well. That is the basic problem in Eastern Europe, who is power assumes he is in power of about everything not just a political personality for legislate and administer but the owners of all people and assets and destiny or about everybody and well that is not the European way and that must be made clear to all. It is kind of #CVM frontloaded with some significant concession with key agency abused by ruling elite to control the financial asset and the votes of their people, The Agency for Customs, Tax, Competition, Kataster and the Central bank and agency for Civil registration and the Central Election Commission and the General Prosecutor and the Council to appoint Judges. These appointment authorities ended to be Europeanise maybe to add some key regulators like Energy and the CEO paid like EU Agency Heads and appointed by the European Parliament like EU Agency and reporting to #EU Parliament. And for sure all countries please adopt the Euro unilateral for faster converge but as well to not repeat such nonsense as Hungary, Poland and Czech Republic now waiting to be paid off to join Eurozone and similar nonsense. On contrary we should freeze all transfers to these sad 3 so rich they do not need #euro and so why subsidies them any day longer when we need all resources for Eastern Europe, not rich Central Europe but new Eastern Europe of the

9 new in line to join #EU37 – and please ff you want to join please show you want to be kind partner and EU MS not an Orban style complete disaster even working with Russia openly and mocking us in EU fully, not funny Mr Orban! But Orban got one thing right. His tax is 15 % flat income and 9% corporate tax is not the perfect 10! but it is highly competitive and now my question is how shall Ukraine compete with 18%? No, it is utter nonsense, much too high! All EAP6 & WB6 please adopt the Euro and flat tax 10 and join EU Customs Union, open your border to EU and mutual in CFETA REA plus and speed up EU regulatory alignment and adopt #EUSMEpolicy meaning focus on #SMEs being really kind and nice to domestic investors, diaspora returning and really being open transparent digital good governance open all opportunities for all and ending the collusion culture and allowing GD Competition full authority in your nation. This is key for SMEs and much more in terms of information accession, land and procurement access, ending collusion and networking with powerful political networks controlling the state and its opportunities and power and abusing the state police and power to interfere into the markets to favour the friends of the powerful, this has the end fully to allow real SME and European FDI not money laundering FDI from Cyprus or investing corrupt capital in construction. Real European SME Policy is what is needed to ensure growth and convince European elite it is time for #EU37 but no worries just do Euro #Flattax10 and #CVM and adopt EU regulatory system and we reform in EU the other aspects and we can successful complete Europe in next decade until European parliament election in 2029 we will be #EU37by2029 in this way so let us start the #AccessionDecade leading to #EU37 by 2029. Complete Europe during the next decade. Where will #EU37 be @ #EP2029? #Europeanize some of our challenges! Why we need #DebtEquitySwapsEIB? We need more unity in Europe 2020 and beyond! Currently, #EU28 Member States have a debt level of €12.7 trillion overall debt level #EU28 www.rte.ie/news/business/2019/0423/1045108-eu-debt-gdp/ compare to state assets levels in worth 16,5 Trillion € estimated by EC DG Ecfin 2016 https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/info/files/file_import/ip031_en_2.pdf #CEEBC has already discussed debt Equity Swap EIB – in second part of #CEEBCNL34 – please see debate : http://cee-bc.org/en/storage/CEE%20BC%20Members%20Letter%2034-13.pdf 2019 asset levels will be higher already for the #EUMSStateAssets so we have assets in EU! Now it is only logical to call #EIB to establish the following #SEHoldings: #EuropeanRailwaysSE #EuropeanMotorwaysSE #EuropeanAirportsSE #EuropeanPortsSE #EuropeanEnergySE #EuropeanMiningSE #EuropeanLandSE #EuropeanDefenceSE #EuropeanFinanceSE #EuropeanUtilities #EuropeanCorporateSE #SE means #EuropeanCompany there can me more but these should be the main EIB owned #POESE Public owned Companies on European level held by EIB Why we need such new instruments? We have to #Europeanize some key challenges we face but not by fully turning #EU into #USA a union state with all fiscal authority to issue debts – there is no consensus for that and it would not be justified as it might create a lot of confused by lines of responsibilities and moral hazard like the Greek pension extravagances which led to the Greek fiscal crisis 2011. So, no to real #Eurobonds! But the selling of state assets to #EIB has a positive effect on debt levels – of Member States – especially southern European ones who are currently indirectly subsidized within the ECB Euro system – much better to ask them kindly to send the ownership of their less effective manage state assets to EIB in Luxembourg and to reform, rationalise and restructure them and where it makes sense invest with the access to real capital in Greek and Bulgaria railways or energy systems or in Italian energy system. And, so on and offer the same for all Accession countries #EU37 and so reduce

#EUMS debt level and ensure better management of POEs on EIB and if some private capital or some partial privatisation is happening so much the better! But the majority of these SEs should stay in EIB hands. In same way there, overall debt levels in EU stays the same sure but taking the Greece debts and state assets of the rather small Greek economy and so Europeanize both and the level even of Greek debt is rather small in the overall European context of 12,7 Trillion debt. And as there are real assets at same EIB balance sheet as the price should be determined by reasonable market assessment not based on political fantasies. So, it can be justified and will work very well and that is what unions do. Are we a union, well we are on the way, and will debt equity swaps turn us into a union? Well not automatically, but gradually and that is the idea behind. We need to include all Europeans who want, we need to be open for Ukraine and Balkans EU37 and not just be the union of the few richer Western European and not a single of the EU states not Germany nor France nor Italy nor Poland has the capacity to unite the energy, transport market nor to defend Europe alone, nor to dominate us as well, to be sure and happy for that! It won’t be a German Europe nor a French Europe but in security sense a American Europe in NATO. And America was, is and will be the role model in Continental unification and we will be a special form of such a state union with few major state owned #EIB infrastructure vehicles completing the Digital, Railway, Motorway, Waterways, Port and Energy infrastructure and managing what others assets there are in property and mining reasonable and rational and accountable and less party political and better supervised by EC and EP. And it will be quite successful effort in improving our unity in EU37 and we will have much better European wide networks West East and North South and not only Munich Berlin or Paris Nice. That is all good but for on European market we need TGV and ICE from European Mariupol to European Brussels and from European Estonia to European Tirana. And to Greece and everywhere. So, we will be united and can develop the potential of our great continent with its unique but very complicated history to a better future and catch up with North American prosperity levels. Never forget the United States has 2018 GDP capita $ 62,641.0 European Union inclusive UK has 2018 has GDP Capita in 4 36,546.4 and Without UK with 67 rich citizens and with 67 Million rather poor Eastern Europeans in line to join with Ukraine included so we will stay about the same population about 510 Million but instead of 18,8 Trillion we lose 3 Trillion GDP from UK and add only 250 Billion from 9 in line to join! it is the same number of people but the output is so much smaller we are at 16 Trillion by 500 Million so roughly at 31000 so about half the prosperity of USA that is reality of today’s #EU37 compared to USA and with EFTA and UK taking the role rich Canada has in relation to USA and Turkey having the role to EU that Mexico in relation to USA. And Russia hostile to Europe and North America but able to buy into our elites and #China competing and bullying its way to the top table trying to reach parity with USA in volume of GDP by 2030 and having the combined population of North America and Europe including Turkey but excluding Russia. We can compete as United Market of West USMCA and EU37/EFTA/CEFTA. We will have about the same size of population like China 1,2 Billion. But as China has rich coast and poor hinterland and to really catch up with West it needs to change its economic system we as well have very poor Ukraine and Eastern Europe and Europe in general much behind North America and we need such a bigger market, more open and united to catch up. Would it not be cool of #EU37 could achieve USA levels of prosperity meaning doubling GDP in a decade? How can we do that? How can we grow by 7 % for a decade? We first of all need to include all who want in European framework to allow all to prosper inside the EU Internal Market. We need enlargement. Tax cuts to flattax10 in #EU37, completing #EU Internal Market and

debt equity swaps with EIB and a stronger and more united and more competitive union #EU37 #strongEuroe. Completing the dream of our founding fathers for Monnet and Schuman to build a Continental Union second only to USA and allow Europeans, in all Europe to be as rich and successful, free and happy as USA American citizens and at similar levels of prosperity measured in GDP per capita. Today the poorest Federal State of USA is Mississippi at 31.658$ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_GDP_per_capita while we are on at exact 30.000 Euro in EU including rich UK and so for sure less once #EU37 replaced UK https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/documents/2995521/9618249/1-26022019-AP-EN.pdf/f765d183-c3d2-4e2f-9256-cc6665909c80 well some we can ignore the massive regional disparities, we can believe in Anti-American prejudice and claim a special European way of life, there are so many arguments to be made on how Americans, Russian and European compare and should or want to live and how we see China and the rise of Asia and so on, the list of debate is endless! But that more unity in Europe and a more united Europe is the way forwards to reaching higher prosperity levels and that the USA is much ahead who can contest that? And Ok if we have more welfare and more holidays in Europe is that true as well for Ukrainians and Albanians? And will everybody stay back home where he or she was born in coming decades with so massive a prosperity differential in Western World? And true we can do organise our economy, welfare and social system the American or Europe, Russia or Chinese way and guess what I think the European way is better but which? The Ukrainian level of welfare or the Swedish? And when we assume as CEEBC does that 28% of GDP should be welfare the famous 7 for 4 from health, education, welfare to pension, 28% of double GDP at 60.000$ is better than 28% of 30.000 and nobody get poorer by more openness and higher GDP. Is it a dream to unite Europe of EU37 and a border Europe more or less included in #EUInternalMarket or #EUCustomsUnion or connect with EU with FTA and so we a getting gradually, better faster to North American prosperity levels? Yes, we can! And what needs to be done. It is simple security in #NATO42 stability in #EU37 prosperity in #Euro34 growing by #EUSMEPolicy and prosperous by #EuropeanEconomicReform & exporting stability by #EAP13 and #EUFTA2024 and #GlobalEurope Yes it can be done!

Sure, there is still much to be done in Montenegro, same like in many EUMS but in many key aspects Montenegro is fully ready and EU can show it is open, ready, attractive. Montenegro has no major structural issues. It fits easy in #MFF2020, so let us do it 2022 Sure, so much needs to be improved in Montenegro but be sure- it is much easier, faster & more effective inside politcial, legal, regulatory and judicary framework that is #EU For some of the issues which still be be more perfects see the following articles: https://www.total-montenegro-news.com/lifestyle/4709-european-montenegro-strategy https://www.total-montenegro-news.com/lifestyle/1881-european-boka-2020 https://www.total-montenegro-news.com/politics/4788-european-herceg-novi https://www.total-montenegro-news.com/news/1599-smart-mobility-for-montenegro http://cee-bc.org/en/storage/CEE%20BC%20Members%20Letter%2039-18.pdf #AccessionActionPlanEU37 for #EuropeanNorthMacedonia to be #EUMSNMK2023 #EuropeanNorthMacedonia shall be in EU in 2023 and vote in #EP2024 for sure!

Sure it is not perfect NMK So #EuropeanNorthMacedonia please adopt #Euro like Montenergo and Kosovo #Euro34, accept #CVM like Romania, Bulgaria and concede #AppointmentAuthority, for some key institution like #GeneralProsector under #strongEPPO & #CentralElectionCommission #CivilRegister #CompetitionAuthority rest is OK in NMK And form #BalkanBenelux, #MiniSchengen meaning adopting #Euro, join #EUCustomsUnion and paralell to joining #EUInternalMarket build #REA #WB6 and united #EuropeanBalkans by fast tracking adopting all EU instruments, regulations 2020 #NMK is as well fully compliant with #CFSP on #MinskSanctions but true #VRMO was openly #proPutin so we should much clearer support #EUMSNMK2023 to avoid a #VMRO #proPutin #proOrban Government in April 2020 election which might be the result of #MarconVeto shock & #EnlargementCrisis of October 2019 -only benefiting the #ProPutinAppeasment camp in #EU. #Marcon policy fully AntiEuropean, AntiWestern! #NMK as well support #UkrainejoinCEFTA #UkraineJoinRCC to realise #EU37 #NMK needs fast #EuroAdoption as tangible, visible result for consumers & citziens #PrespaPeace major result of #NATO #EU #West must have results for voters fast! #NATO delivers, #EU will but when? #Euro major progress, accellerates accesion so #EuropeanNorthernMacedonia can be in EU in 2023 together with Montenegro #EU37 #NMK2Million6100GDPCap is not as good as #Montenegro but return of #flattax10 https://countryeconomy.com/countries/compare/montenegro/macedonia will kick start growth as now tax rates were reduced again after nonsensical experiment for 2 years #MNK will catch up much faster in #EU and with clear #EU accession perspective #NATO Membership, #flattax10 and #Euro will already allow much more growth 2020 #PrespaPeace was hard to get, Congratulations to all, #West at its best! #West must be #braindead to lose this success by delaying and allowing to slip victory from own hands! #AccessionActionPlanEU37 for #EuropeanAlbania to be #EUMSAlbania2023 -Maybe? Well- Yes! But #EuropeanAlbania bigger challenge than #Montenegro #NorthMacedonia But #Albania 10 years celebration #NATO #Albania firmly pro #USA #Pro EU, pro West #WeareNATO #NATOmatters #Albania fully #ProWestern so #EUMSAlbania2023

But Albania lacks #EuropeanConsensus, divisive politics, complicated history & present Lack of administrative capacity, serious issues with corruption, organised criminality Despite great hope by international community progress since 2013 slowed down ... Socialist massive tax increase, biggest in Europe, lack of FDI, no new big new investors True, some progress in Urban revitalisation, but little on key infrastructure still missing! So, to make #EUMSAlbania2023 possible, it is required: #EuroAdoption #Flattax10 And for #EuropeanAlbania the whole package of #ConcedeAppointmentAuthority key To achieve #EUMS in this #EPMandate, Albania needs to concede Appointment Authority of CEOs National Bank, Kataster, Tax, Customs, Competition Agency & Civil Register, Central Election Commission and first of all of National Council for Judiciary & General Prosecutor and accept #CVMplus. And already the current Rule of Law reform was too much for some in Albania but really, we have to go much further and this must be done in any case no matter before Albania joins in 2020 or 2200 it is required for sure. Some will cry colonialism but we are anyhow moving to more powerful EU judiciary #supranationalityfrontloaded is only naturally in a #Supranational #EU #strongEurope Albania has strong mineral and petrol resources and will be strong EUMS beyond 2040 But outside of EU Albania wont catch up. It is same for all 9 in line #EU37. Even when they reform well the distance to EU28 is already so high and getting much bigger by even more ambitious regulatory drive upwards inside EU impossible to match from outside. Next major effort of #EU28: #CarbonNeutral, well how shall they match such efforts? We need to get all 9 in line in #EU37 fast and offer support only available inside #EU37! #CommunistAlbania under #Hoxha was one of the worst regimes globally & historically How shall Albania develop to European Standards without #CohesionFunds inside EU? And without being in #EUInternalMarket part of #PanEuropeanLabourMarket #ELA? #EuropeanAlbania2point8Millionpeople5300$GDPCap is no longer poor but is where Bulgaria was, when it joined EU in 2007. True, EU might wait a decade & true there will be progress in Albania as well as long-term Candidate but relative distance to EU average will be just increasing without #Membership in EU with all political and economic and financial possibilities- even when it is a bit supervised, assisted, for some time -better have #Membership Minus #AccelerateAccession than waiting outside for very long term. #AccessionActionPlanEU37 for #EuropeanKosovo YES to #EUMSRKS2029 #EU37 Despite all odds – the #ActionPlan for #RepublicofKosovo to join #EU in 2029 #West liberated #Kosovo, supported #RepublicofKosovo, now make it success in #EU37 First, all 3 Non-WTO members Serbia, Bosnia, Kosovo to join #WTO in 2020 together Appoint #FormerCommissioner #MalmstromEU to support #WTOAccessionBalkans Invite #RKS to #PFPNATO together with #Cyprus in 2020 – Allow #RKSArmy2020 Invite #EuropeanBosnia to #NATO 2020, make sure #NATOfirst as condition for #EUMS EU do not accept new MS not compliant with #NATO Membership criteria, #NATOfirst Offer Serbia & Republic of Kosovo joint security in NATO & fully membership in 2024 If Serbia under current leadership rejects Membership, well then only #RKSNATO2024 Transform EU Belgrad/Pristina Dialogue into #NATO/EUDialogueSerbiaRKS Why give non-EU and non-NATO #ProPutin Serbia such a big role in our CFSP efforts? When Serbia is not aligned with CFSP – one crucial & key criteria for EU membership! #RKS is fully in line with #EUCFSP #MinskSanction #InviteUkraineRCCandCEFTA Seriously discuss with #EPP Governments Greece & Romania to #recogniseKosovo as serious #Members of #NATO and deal with #Cyprus, #Slovakia & isloate Spain.

We are not #braindead but serious #West #NATO #UnitedEurope, join us fully or not… #Kosovo1point8Million4281$GDPperCap will be ready economically join EU in 2029

Specific #MembershipMinus offer by EU for RKS not only #CVM like Romania but better to keep #EULEX up, beyond EU membership & phase out upon criteria fullfilled. #AppointmentAuthority to #EP for key Agencies under #AccelerateAccession Deal, from #Competition #Tax #CentralElectionCommission #CentralBank #Kataster #Energy Dreams of Sovereignity or Membership like Poland or Hungary well, not on offer #EU37 #MembershipMinus for first decade is much better than waiting for decades to come… #Cohesion #Convergence only possible in #EU37 & #EUInternalMarket fully integrated! From 2021 #Balkanbenelux #CustomsCurrencyUnionSouthernBalkansNMKALRKS Introduce #HighwayTolling to contine #HighwayProject #HighwayNorthRKSNoviPazar #DoubleSouthTyrolReciprocity #MutualSouthTyrolNorthKosovoSouthSerbia meaning yes to #EUSupervisedRegionalSelfAdministrationforbothNorthKosovoSouthSerbia #FullMutualReciprocityDevolutionEUSupervised #EUCoManagedRegion and yes to 2 new such regions #SouthTyrolstyle #NorthKosovo #SouthSerbiaPresevoValley #NotoLandSwaps but #YestoRegionalSelfAdministration #Europeanstyle and with signifanct EU support but for both regions on in the exact legal & financial framework. If Serbia not ready for such a status for #SouthSerbiaPresevoValley wait until it will be. #YestoKosovo in 2020 with #VisaLiberalization and #EU support for #UNESCO #INTERPOL #WHO #FAO & include #RecogniseKosovo into #EUFTA2024 as #CFSP If Serbia joins NATO by 2024, adopts Euro unilateral and joins EU37 on CVM and #MemebershipMinus #AccelerateAccession basis both Serbia & RKS can join in 2029 If Serbia not ready for joining EU as Supranational Union #EU37 well than we wait & RKS will be ready and so Republic of Kosovo will be #EUMSRKS2029 part of #EU37 All open issues of Dialogue, War and past can than we solved by EU with other #EUMS who were victim of Serb aggression in 1990ies eg.: Slovenia, Croatia, BiH, RKS, MNE Serbia will than be the only SEE country not in EU and EU can then disucss all 2030ies About and with Serbia about what Serbia did in 1990ies to the then EU Members Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia&Hercegovina and Republic of Kosovo. #EU36 DG Near can than fully focus on Serbia Dialogue with EU & resolve all war related issues. And once all these issues are solved & Serbia ready for #EuropeanSerbia #EU #EU37 Sure nobody in #EU wants to make Ex-victims hostage to consent of former aggressor? #AccessionActionPlanEU37 for #EuropeanBosnia YES to #EUMSBIH2029 #EU37 #EuropeanBosniaHercegovina as #EUMemberState by 2029 in #EU37by2029 #Bosnia is heart of Balkans – key battle field of past and key to #EuropeanBalkans Sadly, it is still hostage by forces of past, by Serb Nationalists & by #HostileRussia So, what needs to be done: #EuropeanBosnia only secure in #NATO so join #NATO42 #BiH in NATO in 2022 is key for #EU membership ready for #EP2029 as part of #EU37 #EuropeanBosnia as 31st Member State NATO secures all citziens of #BIH for sure, but some, mainly from the Serb side who were the perpetators of the War, massive ethnic cleansing which was the very reason for NATO intervention are opposed to membership – partly for anger of being defeated by NATO, partly hopefully they feel guilty, partly they are misled by their nationalistic leaders, partly they are absued by Serbian or Russian AntiNATO AntiWestern forces. Well, hard to change – but let us not forget: Most people in #EuropeanBosnia want to join NATO, we should support them, secure everybody in NATO: So, #EU #EIB #EuropeanTaxpayers #Bosnia needs your support. This needs to be solved by investment. #EIB to buy 49% of both Highway Operators of BIH – yes they have two different ones. The RS has https://autoputevirs.com/ & Federation www.jpautoceste.ba/en/about-highway/ #HighwayforPeaceDeal So, #EIB Unite Bosnia by buying stakes of both Highway Operators and fund fast track completion of Bosnian Highway System – in EU interest as it is very much the heart of Balkans

connecting everybody and the task much above fiscal limits #BIH and make clear the #EU is here to help and to invest massively. #BIH adopt #Euro. Why BIH did not adopt Euro back when Kosovo and Montenegro? #Euro34 #Euro much better #BIH #KM last place where #GermanMark KM valid, Why? Similar like in Kosovo as well in #BIH international community has some powers left #EU take over all these powers and offer #MembershipMinus #CVMPlus #EU37by2029 or fancy 20 years debate Dayton2.0, then nationalistic identity state building for 20 and then reform to reach ever higher EU regulatory levels and then join in 2060ies? No! #GlobalEurope #StrongEurope #EUstrivesformore start in Balkans and in Bosnia now Well, why grandstanding globally, saving the globe when we are not able settle BIH? And nothing gets better by delaying and ignoring- just Bosnia population smaller… #EuropeanBiH3point5Million6000$GDPCap it will be 2029 where Bulgaria is today. Illusion all the small states, economies can grow rich outside of #EUInternalMarket. Sure, BIH needs many reforms, Dayton, Constitution but so does France, Austria, EU! We cannot expect perfection in 3rd wave, far from it, #StrongEurope able to integrate BIH or by 2029 most Bosnian will live in EU, one way or other, if there is no credible #EU37 true such a #HighwayforpeaceDeal might be expensive but now we are talking 2% of German GDP of 4,2 Trillion $ so 84 that would be, 84 Billion while now budget at 50 so a 34 Billion more yearly and what effect for secuirty? Investing 5 Billion in highways over 5 years or even when it is 10 Billion and the RS leadership consents NATO -amazing! and BiH united by its Highway system well it seems decent return for EU taxpayers! And in any case #Europeantaxpayers will fund most of the highways of #BIH either directly or later when BiH in EU anyhow one day, Chinese loans will be repaid by EU… So, why not get it right, right here and now and invest enough to buy compliance. BiH in NATO, btw it is anyhow secured by Naples NATO HQ in everything but name so: Well, true it would be nicer to have Norway’s to join…but this is real mission EU/NATO Security in South Eastern Europe and Eastern European fragile Periphery in #EU37 http://cee-bc.org/en/storage/CEE%20BC%20Members%20Letter%2040-19.pdf #AccessionActionPlanEU37 for #EuropeanSerbia Yes, but as a new #EUMSSerbia2029 #EuropeanSerbia as #EUMemberState by 2029 in #EU37by2029 #MembershipMinus Why #Serbia was called #Frontrunner by #Appeasement #EC #Hahn #Mogherini #Mystery It is a real mystery only explained by wishful thinking of #Vucic being really #ProEuropean While it was reasonable to give him benefit of doubt at start during dramatic 2014 no longer! Well once a stratgey does not produce results why keep apeasing #Vucic #RussianSerbia? He just cancelled some weapons purchase after latest Russian spy scandal but he was In Sochi meeting #Putin instead of #NATO Summit -confirming pivot to #Russia #wrong! Buying arms, allowing the #RussianHumanitarianCenter in #Nis, selling key state assets to Russia, having FTA with Russia, conculding FTA with EU competitor EAEU, well not to talk about not being in WTO, not joining #MinskSanctions, not inside #CFSP at all! Not ready for #peacetreaty with Kosovo, #RecogniseKosovo nor being at all contructive in Belgrade/Pristina Dialogue & openly defying #West backed #RKS in #Interpol & #Unesco? Not wanting to join #NATO claiming neutrality! acceptable for 4 time aggressor in past? All 11 CEE countries joined #NATO before EU as NATO helps reform security sector Shall #ExAggressor, only partly repentent, openly pro #HostileRussia be allowed to join EU without reforming #Military #Police #Intelligence #CivilMilitaryRelations #really? No! So, without #NATOfirst not #EU - that is clear. So, given all this, is it really smart to subsidies #Serbia under #Vucic with #IPA Funding while he uses #fiscalspace to buy arms of #Putin?

#EIB #EBRD #EU #Europeantaxpayers massive support #SerbianInfrastructure so with the money not used for Motorways - #EIB #EBRD #EU - he runs to Putin buys arms? Really? It is time for #FreezeSerbianCandidateStatus2020 before the April 2020 elections and tell Serbian voters clear that with #Vucic they will never be in #EU. And his balancing act #West and #East in best #Tito tradition is not working. #Serbia7Million7200$GDPCap is good but it is not that #EU needs Serbia as Member. We can take all compliant #WB5 in #EU36by2029 and wait until Serbia is ready and turn #DGEnlargement into #DGSerbia and deal long term. Balancing of #Tito worked in hot #ColdWar with 22 Million people, strategic location #YU #PoorSerbia2020 we can simple bypass or wait until it really is #EuropeanSerbia one day! But that is not what anyone can hope for! Much better #Serbia in #EU37by2029 but like for all 9 new in line please it will be #MembershipMinus for first period and so please #JoinWTO2021 #AdoptEuro2021 #RecogniseKosovo2022, #JoinNATO2024 #OfferCVM cede #AppointmentAuthority to #EP for key agencies controlling financial, voting, legal #Nationalbank, Tax/Kataster/Customs/Competition, Central Election Commission General prosecutor, Civil register, Nation Council Judiciary #SupraNationalityFrontloaded No #Vucic won’t be second #Orban in Central Europe, no #TrojanHorse of #HostileRussia Instead of a #Frontrunner & depite making good progress on many technical issues #Serbia has the most structural issues of critical dimension blocking #EU Accession more then any! Please #CompareUkrainewithSerbia and see the difference. Ukraine is fully #proWestern #Serbia still is not, still lives in past dillusion of grandeur and mostly unrepentent to past! Recent 20 years of NATO liberation of Balkans was turned by #Vucic #Dodik into a major #AntiNATO #AntiWestern commemoration -imagine similar nonsense in Central Europe… #Serbia first has to join #West mentally, prepent past crimes, against all Balkans! including the many victims of Socialist YU and Milosevic dictaorship among Serbs themselves. And given Serbia the power to take hostage Bosnia NATO future & Kosovo progress by insisting on Diaglgue and Dayton 2.0 before EU accession of both is fully, utterly wrong. All such bilateral issue can only be solved after 2029 when Bosnia and RKS are in #EU37 & within our legal system , we can deal with the past, within EU justice system. Well #Juncker wanted all settled before accession, a illussion, this is the expensive price tag #Europeantaxpayers will have to pay from 2030ies for the tragic lack of leadership during the tragic 1990ies. But peace is priceless and #EuropeanBalkans in EU fully is worth such investment and even when nerve wrecking we in EU have overcome French-German we will settle as well the Serb-Croatian, Serbia-RKS, Serbia-Bosnian, Serbia -Montenegro, Serbia-NMK, Serb -Albanian anatogisms. It is simple what NATO, EU is for and every thing else is misson creep, derliction of duty.

#CompetitiveGeorgia reduce tax rates to #flattax10 like RKS, NMK, BIH, Bulgaria, growth! True, Georgia has reformed a lot all 15 years but for #EUMSGeorgia2029 it is required to #AccelerateAccession #SupranationalityFrontloaded for #MembershipMinus so in case of #Georgia requires less ceding #AppointmentAuthority as better reality today but please cede #GeneralProsectuor to #strongEPPO #LineAuthorityDGComeptition #CentralElectionCom. #Georgia less known in #EU needs to build case in EU for #YESTOGeorgiainEU2029 #AdoptEAPEUSectorIntegration #DigitalEnergyTransportCapitalLandOpening to EU fully Join #PanEuropeanLabourMarket and join #EUInternalmarket #EUCustomsUnion 2020 #EUSMEPolicy #PowertoRegions #PowertoSMEs #Decentralistion #RegionalDevelopment #Georgia as well in challenging region so #EU appoint #SpecialEUEnvoySouthernCaucasus with objective to build #EuropeanSouthernCaucasusBenelux & ensure #HostileRussia does not incite conflicts & #EU settlement for open issue between #Azerbaijan #Armenia & coordinate #EuropeanSouthernCaucasusInfrastructureInterconnectivityInitiative #EU needs to connect #Turkey #SouthernCaucasus #CentralAsia #China #Japan with #EU Georgia is not much further than Cyrpus and very much a #EuropeanCountry so clear case for #EUMSGeorgia2029 and no #HostileRussia has no veto on foreign policy of/for anybody. And for sure not on who adopts which currency. That is the key to all – unite Euroep by the Euro and accelerate accession starting from the strongest common fundament – the Euro! #EUNATOTurkeyPartnership Yes, to close Partnership with our Ally #NATOTurkey, our partner & member of #EUCustomsUnion key to success since 95 and more to come #EAP13 https://ec.europa.eu/trade/policy/countries-and-regions/countries/turkey/ & TimeforUpdate This #EUTurkishCustomsUnion in mutual interest should be upgraded, completed, great! but we need to end #EndEUCandidateStatusofTurkey2020. Difficult, true but necessary to adapt to new situation, reality, changed since 1999. Why? While it makes strategic sense to work closely together with Turkey for this we have NATO and while it is trade, economically mutually beneficial to be as close integrated as possible for this we have #EUCustomsUnion and please let us be clear the success of Turkey since 1995 is based on this Customs Union of 1995 and not on #Erdogan who is visible no longer interested in EU values since 2013 & maybe before. And political union in #EU, for that Turkey is not ready –not only since 2013 -& the perspective of such membership in EU is key platform for populists & Brexit campaign, it is no longer realistic policy and it has to be officialised now in 2020. There is so much political opposition against Members of Turkey in EU, it overshadows all #EUEnlargement so it needs to be ended in 2020! Maybe beyond 2050 there is an opening for a #EuropeanTurkey but for foreseeable future for many decades this is illusion so we need a new status for Turkey & EU relations & end the EU Candidate Status of Turkey in 2020 first of all to make membership of all 9 in line #EU37 feasible & Turkey there is a moral case for you! Most of 9 were part of Ottoman Empire and most are your close allies today with significant investment by Turkish companies so please kindly support them by agreeing to end your Candidate Status so the road for their membership EU37 NATO42 is open. Please! It is as well in Turkish national strategic and economic interest to have successful #EU37 Well, it is not calling for Harakiri, clearly #EU to make a decent package deal for Turkey. What needs to be done to make this possible in EU and reasonable sell in Turkey? First, de-escalate rhetoric in both sides, we have too much in common to allow ourselves to be divided and drive Erdogan further to #Putin. #Erdogan did not create #SyrianQuagmire #West not on #MoralHighground on #ExSyria at all! Shame on us for doing so little so long! Anyhow, we need to focus on contain #HostileRussia not on China and Turkey – focus! So, what we can offer #Turkey to end #EUCandidateStatus and keep it as close as possible? Remind Turkey that #WeareNATO and it matters in todays and tomorrow world. #NATO42 Upgrade #EUTurkishCustomsUnion to include more sectors, service and reach next level.

Invite Turkey to join EAP Eastern Partnership and invite all Central Asia to EAP EAP13 Upgrade https://ec.europa.eu/neighbourhood-enlargement/neighbourhood/southern-neighbourhood_en into #SouthernPartnership including Turkey. Make sure Turkey receives similar level of support as currently with IPA Budget. Move HQ of Union for Med from Barcelona – anyhow not in good books today - to Istanbul https://ufmsecretariat.org/contact/ Build new #EUAgency for #EUPartnerships based in Istanbul https://euneighbours.eu/en/contact #PegTurkishLiratoEuro, well it is very fragile currency recently and the fiscal policy of last years created a situation with mega interest rates required to keep Lira somewhere stable. Peg to Euro is best for Lira & for Customs Union and well if it requires better fiscal policy every single Turkish taxpayer will be very happy and long-term secure mutual prosperity! Move #OSCE HQ from Vienna to Istanbul https://www.osce.org/ #MoveOSCEtoIstanbul Well, Austria is most #AntiTurkeyinEU so let them pay a price tag. And remind the Austrian leaders that it might be discussed as well why Vienna is 3rd #UNOCapital, that was fine in #ColdWar but today in EU? Why not have an UNO Capital in Asia where most people of World live and Hong Kong might be alternative? No, better Vienna but just in case they are against #OSCE moving to Istanbul in such a deal. But there should be as well incentives like turning Vienna in the European or best global Anti-Corruption Capital www.iaca.int/ and keep the Anti-Corruption department of OSCE in Vienna and maybe agree to a 5 years transition for staff and moving and similar softer measure, as well the new #EUAgencyAntiCorruption which hopefully will be created from #RAISEE www.rai-see.org/ www.osce.org/secretariat/eea and if that is not enough add the new #EUAgency for #EuropeanEnergyIndependence which should be developed www.energy-community.org/ Such two Agency and turning Vienna into Anti Corruption Capital and Capital for Energy Independence for Europe well that would help to get over grief to lose #OSCE to Istanbul! Anyhow please see the proposal for moving the #CouncilofEurope to #Gdansk as 3rd Capital of EU as we have to adopt a bit post WWII, post ColdWar, post2014WorldOrder of #HostileRussia in #ColdWar2Zerolight to be better positioned for challenges 2020ies with #HostileRussia and promoting security, peace, democracy, human & property rights, freedom and prosperity further east as Strasbourg and Vienna who were perfect locations and symbols for Europe overcoming #FrenchGerman antagonism & Cold War division of Europe but now #Gdansk & #Istanbul are better symbolic locations for the challenges of the 21 century. Unity of all Europe including all Eastern Europe and promoting Democracy in fragile East of EU. Well, a lot of options & a lot about Vienna & Istanbul well let us not go into history but it is crucial to have better relations based on what we can really achieve together and that is very important for both sides and for all our citizens, based on fact, not fantasies, so let us end illusion & create firm fundament for very long term beneficial #EUNATOTurkeyPartnership. #EUChina we need to involve #strongChina more in #WesternWorldOrder #Chinabashingiswrong #WhyWesternChinabashingisPutinStrategy #betterstrategyrequired https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/chinabashingiswrong-g%C3%BCnther-fehlinger/ After 1972, 1979, 1989, 2001 now in 2020 is time for time for making China new offer to break it away from #HostileRussia #WhyChinabashingiswrong #Trump bashing of #Xi only drives #China closer to #HostileRussia – as #China will be bigger economy than #USA by 2030 well maybe during 2030ies and possible on par with NATO by 2050? #turnChinaintoStakeholder So we need a responsible, mature, reasonable, rational #China so #EU give it more role to make it stakeholder of #WesternWorldOrder – we can do that while as well making sure we are on firm #MoralHighground and support #UNO HumanRights and while making sure we cointinue to remember the vicitims of #CommunistChina, defend #FreeTaiwan, support minority rights in Tibet and for Uighurs & all many minority and the agreed rights of Hong Kong & keep #SinoBritishDeclartion, honor victims of #4June1989TiananmenSquare but as well

rembember the #colonialcrimes #Europeans did from #1839OpimumWar until 1949 - 110 years of war followed by Communist takeover – a tragic & failed European export to China. #China1point4BillionPopulation13point5TrillionGDP is big, but at #9770$GDPCap #China still far behind #West – just about World average, China was always very rich until 1800 top! So why should it under normal conditions of openness #postCommunistChina be as rich as #West? #China is still behind, using many wrong methods and is #CommunistState but there are no Chinese tanks anywhere outside China. Sure, we have to be attentive, work and keep standards high but funding infrastructure with soft loans is different than what #Russia is doing in #Ukraine, #Georgia and #Syria. Very different, indeed. While it is easy to bash Asian and the Yellow man – well it does not lift us on any #MoralHighground. And it is bad strategy and indeed wrong. And yes we shall never accept lower standards of human rights from Hong Kong to Uighurs in Camps to religious and political freedom, defend Taiwan and we will always! But Chinese tanks are only in China! And where is the danger that this will change? China is the global manufacturing powerhouse and fully interconnected in global financial world. What please is Chinas interest to bring this big house down, the house it is part itself? Whom to sell goods to in war? Whom to finance in War? Whose infrastutcure to build in War? Really, what China wants is not war not challenging the West by taking #West down but a seat on top table of Global Powers and as equal part in #WesternWorldOrder And it will be #WesternWorldOrder in which China wants to be fully part and not #ChinaWorldOrder – all this -our grandchildren will speak Chinese - is simple nonsnese. They will speak English. As well the Chinese grand children and everybody else. We live in AmericanWorldOrder past #WWII and postColdWar and will speak English and our World order organised in UNO, NATO, WTO, EU, OECD, OSCE, IMF, WB will last for long. But to invlove China more not only in UNSecCouncil is justfied and please invite China to #OSCE same like Cnetral Asia – it is not only to connect Cental Asia but to secure it and support all countries in between EU and EastAsia. OSCE HQ to move to Istanbul once #EUCandidateStatus of Turkey is ended. For China #West please offer OECD HQ move from Paris to Hong Kong. If Paris needs compensation please move UNFCC from Bonn to Paris. https://unfccc.int/about-us/about-the-secretariat and for Bonn the new #EUAgencyforSubsidarity compensation. Paris is anyhow the brand for the #ParisAgreement so better based in Paris #ExOECDBuilding #MoveOECDtoHongKong makes sense and helps #CommunistChina to be kinder to Hong Kong population and keep #SinoBritishAgreement and shows Asia & China is strong represneted in UNO, China as well strong pillar of GlobalEconomy. Well and China should join OECD & work to fulfill OECD regulation and standards – that would help for next level of economic development and China than a normal industrialised OECD country with rules and regualtion and mature WTO member and no longer a #developingcountry working with dubious methods. It would be kind to leave BRICS and #EndBrics should be condition for all OECD members. If you want to gang up with #HostileRussia well good luck – no #OECDHQ than, never, ever – be sure100% #West can offer #UNReform anyhow required #China keep seat #UNO Security Council10 #OfferChinaUNOSeatHongKong #TurnHongKonginto5thSeatUNO why is no UN in Asia? Half Global popultion & that is it www.un.org/en/sections/where-we-work/asia-and-pacific/? It is possible to move agencies from Geneva and Vienna and from New York to Hong Kong and so reflect global reality as well by the location to adopt the world of 21st century by keeping the success of Post WWII and Post-Cold War WesternWorldOrder but adapt to new realities and turn China into a pillar of the #WesternWorldOrder and not hang out with #HostileRussia #Putin simple bad company to keep - with aggressive agenda for challenging #GlobalPeace #WorldOrder. #West. #AccessionActionPlanEU37 for #EuropeanUkraine to be #EUMSUkraine2029 #JoinNATO #NATO42 by using #BRD1955 precedent with #HallsteinDoctrine #BRD

But #EuropeanAlbania bigger challenge than #Montenegro #NorthMacedonia But #Albania 10 years celebration #NATO #Albania firmly pro #USA #Pro EU, pro West #WeareNATO #NATOmatters #Albania fully #ProWestern so #EUMSAlbania2023 But Albania lacks #EuropeanConsensus, divisive politics, complicated history & present Lack of administrative capacity, serious issues with corruption, organised criminality Despite great hope by international community progress since 2013 slowed down ... Socialist massive tax increase, biggest in Europe, lack of FDI, no new big new investors True, some progress in Urban revitalisation, but little on key infrastructure still missing! So, to make #EUMSAlbania2023 possible, it is required: #EuroAdoption #Flattax10 And for #EuropeanAlbania the whole package of #ConcedeAppointmentAuthority key To achieve #EUMS in this #EPMandate, Albania needs to concede Appointment Authority of CEOs National Bank, Kataster, Tax, Customs, Competition Agency & Civil Register, Central Election Commission and first of all of National Council for Judiciary & General Prosecutor and accept #CVMplus. And already the current Rule of Law reform was too much for some in Albania but really, we have to go much further and this must be done in any case no matter before Albania joins in 2020 or 2200 it is required for sure. Some will cry colonialism but we are anyhow moving to more powerful EU judiciary #supranationalityfrontloaded is only naturally in a #Supranational #EU #strongEurope Albania has strong mineral and petrol resources and will be strong EUMS beyond 2040 But outside of EU Albania wont catch up. It is same for all 9 in line #EU37. Even when they reform well the distance to EU28 is already so high and getting much bigger by even more ambitious regulatory drive upwards inside EU impossible to match from outside. Next major effort of #EU28: #CarbonNeutral, well how shall they match such efforts? We need to get all 9 in line in #EU37 fast and offer support only available inside #EU37! #CommunistAlbania under #Hoxha was one of the worst regimes globally & historically How shall Albania develop to European Standards without #CohesionFunds inside EU? And without being in #EUInternalMarket part of #PanEuropeanLabourMarket #ELA? #EuropeanAlbania2point8Millionpeople5300$GDPCap is no longer poor but is where Bulgaria was, when it joined EU in 2007. True, EU might wait a decade & true there will be progress in Albania as well as long-term Candidate but relative distance to EU average will be just increasing without #Membership in EU with all political and economic and financial possibilities- even when it is a bit supervised, assisted, for some time -better have #Membership Minus #AccelerateAccession than waiting outside for very long term. #AccessionActionPlanEU37 for #EuropeanKosovo YES to #EUMSRKS2029 #EU37 Despite all odds – the #ActionPlan for #RepublicofKosovo to join #EU in 2029 #West liberated #Kosovo, supported #RepublicofKosovo, now make it success in #EU37 First, all 3 Non-WTO members Serbia, Bosnia, Kosovo to join #WTO in 2020 together Appoint #FormerCommissioner #MalmstromEU to support #WTOAccessionBalkans Invite #RKS to #PFPNATO together with #Cyprus in 2020 – Allow #RKSArmy2020

And once all these issues are solved & Serbia ready for #EuropeanSerbia #EU #EU37 Sure nobody in #EU wants to make Ex-victims hostage to consent of former aggressor? #AccessionActionPlanEU37 for #EuropeanBosnia YES to #EUMSBIH2029 #EU37 #EuropeanBosniaHercegovina as #EUMemberState by 2029 in #EU37by2029 #Bosnia is heart of Balkans – key battle field of past and key to #EuropeanBalkans Sadly, it is still hostage by forces of past, by Serb Nationalists & by #HostileRussia So, what needs to be done: #EuropeanBosnia only secure in #NATO so join #NATO42 #BiH in NATO in 2022 is key for #EU membership ready for #EP2029 as part of #EU37

#EuropeanBosnia as 31st Member State NATO secures all citziens of #BIH for sure, but some, mainly from the Serb side who were the perpetators of the War, massive ethnic cleansing which was the very reason for NATO intervention are opposed to membership – partly for anger of being defeated by NATO, partly hopefully they feel guilty, partly they are misled by their nationalistic leaders, partly they are absued by Serbian or Russian AntiNATO AntiWestern forces. Well, hard to change – but let us not forget: Most people in #EuropeanBosnia want to join NATO, we should support them, secure everybody in NATO: So, #EU #EIB #EuropeanTaxpayers #Bosnia needs your support. This needs to be solved by investment. #EIB to buy 49% of both Highway Operators of BIH – yes they have two different ones. The RS has https://autoputevirs.com/ & Federation www.jpautoceste.ba/en/about-highway/ #HighwayforPeaceDeal So, #EIB Unite Bosnia by buying stakes of both Highway Operators and fund fast track completion of Bosnian Highway System – in EU interest as it is very much the heart of Balkans connecting everybody and the task much above fiscal limits #BIH and make clear the #EU is here to help and to invest massively. #BIH adopt #Euro. Why BIH did not adopt Euro back when Kosovo and Montenegro? #Euro34 #Euro much better #BIH #KM last place where #GermanMark KM valid, Why? Similar like in Kosovo as well in #BIH international community has some powers left #EU take over all these powers and offer #MembershipMinus #CVMPlus #EU37by2029 or fancy 20 years debate Dayton2.0, then nationalistic identity state building for 20 and then reform to reach ever higher EU regulatory levels and then join in 2060ies? No! #GlobalEurope #StrongEurope #EUstrivesformore start in Balkans and in Bosnia now Well, why grandstanding globally, saving the globe when we are not able settle BIH? And nothing gets better by delaying and ignoring- just Bosnia population smaller… #EuropeanBiH3point5Million6000$GDPCap it will be 2029 where Bulgaria is today. Illusion all the small states, economies can grow rich outside of #EUInternalMarket. Sure, BIH needs many reforms, Dayton, Constitution but so does France, Austria, EU! We cannot expect perfection in 3rd wave, far from it, #StrongEurope able to integrate BIH or by 2029 most Bosnian will live in EU, one way or other, if there is no credible #EU37 true such a #HighwayforpeaceDeal might be expensive but now we are talking 2% of German GDP of 4,2 Trillion $ so 84 that would be, 84 Billion while now budget at 50 so a 34 Billion more yearly and what effect for secuirty? Investing 5 Billion in highways over 5 years or even when it is 10 Billion and the RS leadership consents NATO -amazing! and BiH united by its Highway system well it seems decent return for EU taxpayers! And in any case #Europeantaxpayers will fund most of the highways of #BIH either directly or later when BiH in EU anyhow one day, Chinese loans will be repaid by EU… So, why not get it right, right here and now and invest enough to buy compliance. BiH in NATO, btw it is anyhow secured by Naples NATO HQ in everything but name so: Well, true it would be nicer to have Norway’s to join…but this is real mission EU/NATO Security in South Eastern Europe and Eastern European fragile Periphery in #EU37 http://cee-bc.org/en/storage/CEE%20BC%20Members%20Letter%2040-19.pdf #AccessionActionPlanEU37 for #EuropeanSerbia Yes, but as a new #EUMSSerbia2029 #EuropeanSerbia as #EUMemberState by 2029 in #EU37by2029 #MembershipMinus Why #Serbia was called #Frontrunner by #Appeasement #EC #Hahn #Mogherini #Mystery

It is a real mystery only explained by wishful thinking of #Vucic being really #ProEuropean While it was reasonable to give him benefit of doubt at start during dramatic 2014 no longer! Well once a stratgey does not produce results why keep apeasing #Vucic #RussianSerbia? He just cancelled some weapons purchase after latest Russian spy scandal but he was In Sochi meeting #Putin instead of #NATO Summit -confirming pivot to #Russia #wrong! Buying arms, allowing the #RussianHumanitarianCenter in #Nis, selling key state assets to Russia, having FTA with Russia, conculding FTA with EU competitor EAEU, well not to talk about not being in WTO, not joining #MinskSanctions, not inside #CFSP at all! Not ready for #peacetreaty with Kosovo, #RecogniseKosovo nor being at all contructive in Belgrade/Pristina Dialogue & openly defying #West backed #RKS in #Interpol & #Unesco? Not wanting to join #NATO claiming neutrality! acceptable for 4 time aggressor in past? All 11 CEE countries joined #NATO before EU as NATO helps reform security sector Shall #ExAggressor, only partly repentent, openly pro #HostileRussia be allowed to join EU without reforming #Military #Police #Intelligence #CivilMilitaryRelations #really? No! So, without #NATOfirst not #EU - that is clear. So, given all this, is it really smart to subsidies #Serbia under #Vucic with #IPA Funding while he uses #fiscalspace to buy arms of #Putin? #EIB #EBRD #EU #Europeantaxpayers massive support #SerbianInfrastructure so with the money not used for Motorways - #EIB #EBRD #EU - he runs to Putin buys arms? Really? It is time for #FreezeSerbianCandidateStatus2020 before the April 2020 elections and tell Serbian voters clear that with #Vucic they will never be in #EU. And his balancing act #West and #East in best #Tito tradition is not working. #Serbia7Million7200$GDPCap is good but it is not that #EU needs Serbia as Member. We can take all compliant #WB5 in #EU36by2029 and wait until Serbia is ready and turn #DGEnlargement into #DGSerbia and deal long term. Balancing of #Tito worked in hot #ColdWar with 22 Million people, strategic location #YU #PoorSerbia2020 we can simple bypass or wait until it really is #EuropeanSerbia one day! But that is not what anyone can hope for! Much better #Serbia in #EU37by2029 but like for all 9 new in line please it will be #MembershipMinus for first period and so please #JoinWTO2021 #AdoptEuro2021 #RecogniseKosovo2022, #JoinNATO2024 #OfferCVM cede #AppointmentAuthority to #EP for key agencies controlling financial, voting, legal #Nationalbank, Tax/Kataster/Customs/Competition, Central Election Commission General prosecutor, Civil register, Nation Council Judiciary #SupraNationalityFrontloaded No #Vucic won’t be second #Orban in Central Europe, no #TrojanHorse of #HostileRussia Instead of a #Frontrunner & depite making good progress on many technical issues #Serbia has the most structural issues of critical dimension blocking #EU Accession more then any! Please #CompareUkrainewithSerbia and see the difference. Ukraine is fully #proWestern #Serbia still is not, still lives in past dillusion of grandeur and mostly unrepentent to past! Recent 20 years of NATO liberation of Balkans was turned by #Vucic #Dodik into a major #AntiNATO #AntiWestern commemoration -imagine similar nonsense in Central Europe… #Serbia first has to join #West mentally, prepent past crimes, against all Balkans! including the many victims of Socialist YU and Milosevic dictaorship among Serbs themselves. And given Serbia the power to take hostage Bosnia NATO future & Kosovo progress by insisting on Diaglgue and Dayton 2.0 before EU accession of both is fully, utterly wrong. All such bilateral issue can only be solved after 2029 when Bosnia and RKS are in #EU37 & within our legal system , we can deal with the past, within EU justice system. Well #Juncker wanted all settled before accession, a illussion, this is the expensive price tag #Europeantaxpayers will have to pay from 2030ies for the tragic lack of leadership during the tragic 1990ies. But peace is priceless and #EuropeanBalkans in EU fully is worth such investment and even when nerve wrecking we in EU have overcome French-German we will settle as well the Serb-Croatian, Serbia-RKS, Serbia-Bosnian, Serbia -Montenegro, Serbia-NMK, Serb -Albanian anatogisms. It is simple what NATO, EU is for and every thing else is misson creep, derliction of duty.

So #EuropeanSerbia join #NATO42 #EU37 but please as #EUMSSerbia not as #RussianSerbia #AccessionActionPlanEU37 for #EuropeanMoldova #EUMSMoldova2029 #EU37by2029 #EuropeanMoldova as #EUMemberState by 2029 in #EU37by2029 #MembershipMinus #Moldova is the country we #EU owe an apology #EuropeanMoldvoa tried hard – so often to join #West #EU #NATO in last 15 years and how often they knocked at Brussels door?

First, #Georgia is amazing reform success in #Doingbusiness #Anticorruption Please it is remarkable success https://transparency.ge/en #Ranked41Transparency better than EU Slovakia at 57th !!!! and 7th in world at www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2019/10/24/georgia-ranks-7th-in-the-world-for-ease-of-doing-business-says-latest-world-bank-study Amazing! Still overall #Georgia4Million4340$GDPCapita is on same GDP capita level of poorest Balkan Country Republic of Kosovo at 4200$ GDP capita. Why? If you do not believe see https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.CD?locations=GE-XK #Europeanbalkans has #ThessalonikiGuaranteeEUfuture2003 #RKS adopted #Euro currency #Georgia learn from #EuropeanKosovo & #EuropeanMontenegro adopt #Euro34 in 2020 First peg like #EuropeanBulgaria #EuropeanBosnia #EuropeanNorthMacedonia than adopt! #EU grant #EUPotentialCandidateStatusGeorgia2020 same like for Ukraine & Moldova 2020 #NATOMembershipGeorgia by #2021NATOMAP #2023FreeGeorgiaFullNATOMember #BRD1955precedent only #FreeGeorgia can join #NATO #Unity later as a result of success Same like for Ukraine and Moldova #BRD is role model, first NATO, EU, success than when #ProsperityDifferential #FreeGeorgia big enough, when #HostileRussia less hostile – unity! #GeorgiajoinCEFTA #GeorgiajoinRCC #GeorgiajoinSEE #BuildPreAccessionAllianceSEE #CompetitiveGeorgia reduce tax rates to #flattax10 like RKS, NMK, BIH, Bulgaria, growth! True, Georgia has reformed a lot all 15 years but for #EUMSGeorgia2029 it is required to #AccelerateAccession #SupranationalityFrontloaded for #MembershipMinus so in case of #Georgia requires less ceding #AppointmentAuthority as better reality today but please cede #GeneralProsectuor to #strongEPPO #LineAuthorityDGComeptition #CentralElectionCom. #Georgia less known in #EU needs to build case in EU for #YESTOGeorgiainEU2029 #AdoptEAPEUSectorIntegration #DigitalEnergyTransportCapitalLandOpening to EU fully Join #PanEuropeanLabourMarket and join #EUInternalmarket #EUCustomsUnion 2020 #EUSMEPolicy #PowertoRegions #PowertoSMEs #Decentralistion #RegionalDevelopment #Georgia as well in challenging region so #EU appoint #SpecialEUEnvoySouthernCaucasus with objective to build #EuropeanSouthernCaucasusBenelux & ensure #HostileRussia does not incite conflicts & #EU settlement for open issue between #Azerbaijan #Armenia & coordinate #EuropeanSouthernCaucasusInfrastructureInterconnectivityInitiative #EU needs to connect #Turkey #SouthernCaucasus #CentralAsia #China #Japan with #EU Georgia is not much further than Cyrpus and very much a #EuropeanCountry so clear case for #EUMSGeorgia2029 and no #HostileRussia has no veto on foreign policy of/for anybody. And for sure not on who adopts which currency. That is the key to all – unite Euroep by the Euro and accelerate accession starting from the strongest common fundament – the Euro! #EUNATOTurkeyPartnership Yes, to close Partnership with our Ally #NATOTurkey, our partner & member of #EUCustomsUnion key to success since 95 and more to come #EAP13 https://ec.europa.eu/trade/policy/countries-and-regions/countries/turkey/ & TimeforUpdate This #EUTurkishCustomsUnion in mutual interest should be upgraded, completed, great! but we need to end #EndEUCandidateStatusofTurkey2020. Difficult, true but necessary to adapt to new situation, reality, changed since 1999. Why? While it makes strategic sense to work closely together with Turkey for this we have NATO and while it is trade, economically mutually beneficial to be as close integrated as possible for this we have #EUCustomsUnion and please let us be clear the success of Turkey since 1995 is based on this Customs Union of 1995 and not on #Erdogan who is visible no longer interested in EU values since 2013 & maybe before. And political union in #EU, for that Turkey is not ready –not only since 2013 -& the perspective of such membership in EU is key platform for populists & Brexit campaign, it is no longer realistic policy and it has to be officialised now in 2020. There is so much political opposition against Members of Turkey in EU, it overshadows all #EUEnlargement so it needs to be ended in 2020! Maybe beyond 2050 there is an opening

for a #EuropeanTurkey but for foreseeable future for many decades this is illusion so we need a new status for Turkey & EU relations & end the EU Candidate Status of Turkey in 2020 first of all to make membership of all 9 in line #EU37 feasible & Turkey there is a moral case for you! Most of 9 were part of Ottoman Empire and most are your close allies today with significant investment by Turkish companies so please kindly support them by agreeing to end your Candidate Status so the road for their membership EU37 NATO42 is open. Please! It is as well in Turkish national strategic and economic interest to have successful #EU37 Well, it is not calling for Harakiri, clearly #EU to make a decent package deal for Turkey. What needs to be done to make this possible in EU and reasonable sell in Turkey? First, de-escalate rhetoric in both sides, we have too much in common to allow ourselves to be divided and drive Erdogan further to #Putin. #Erdogan did not create #SyrianQuagmire #West not on #MoralHighground on #ExSyria at all! Shame on us for doing so little so long! Anyhow, we need to focus on contain #HostileRussia not on China and Turkey – focus! So, what we can offer #Turkey to end #EUCandidateStatus and keep it as close as possible? Remind Turkey that #WeareNATO and it matters in todays and tomorrow world. #NATO42 Upgrade #EUTurkishCustomsUnion to include more sectors, service and reach next level. Invite Turkey to join EAP Eastern Partnership and invite all Central Asia to EAP EAP13 Upgrade https://ec.europa.eu/neighbourhood-enlargement/neighbourhood/southern-neighbourhood_en into #SouthernPartnership including Turkey. Make sure Turkey receives similar level of support as currently with IPA Budget. Move HQ of Union for Med from Barcelona – anyhow not in good books today - to Istanbul https://ufmsecretariat.org/contact/ Build new #EUAgency for #EUPartnerships based in Istanbul https://euneighbours.eu/en/contact #PegTurkishLiratoEuro, well it is very fragile currency recently and the fiscal policy of last years created a situation with mega interest rates required to keep Lira somewhere stable. Peg to Euro is best for Lira & for Customs Union and well if it requires better fiscal policy every single Turkish taxpayer will be very happy and long-term secure mutual prosperity! Move #OSCE HQ from Vienna to Istanbul https://www.osce.org/ #MoveOSCEtoIstanbul Well, Austria is most #AntiTurkeyinEU so let them pay a price tag. And remind the Austrian leaders that it might be discussed as well why Vienna is 3rd #UNOCapital, that was fine in #ColdWar but today in EU? Why not have an UNO Capital in Asia where most people of World live and Hong Kong might be alternative? No, better Vienna but just in case they are against #OSCE moving to Istanbul in such a deal. But there should be as well incentives like turning Vienna in the European or best global Anti-Corruption Capital www.iaca.int/ and keep the Anti-Corruption department of OSCE in Vienna and maybe agree to a 5 years transition for staff and moving and similar softer measure, as well the new #EUAgencyAntiCorruption which hopefully will be created from #RAISEE www.rai-see.org/ www.osce.org/secretariat/eea and if that is not enough add the new #EUAgency for #EuropeanEnergyIndependence which should be developed www.energy-community.org/ Such two Agency and turning Vienna into Anti Corruption Capital and Capital for Energy Independence for Europe well that would help to get over grief to lose #OSCE to Istanbul! Anyhow please see the proposal for moving the #CouncilofEurope to #Gdansk as 3rd Capital of EU as we have to adopt a bit post WWII, post ColdWar, post2014WorldOrder of #HostileRussia in #ColdWar2Zerolight to be better positioned for challenges 2020ies with #HostileRussia and promoting security, peace, democracy, human & property rights, freedom and prosperity further east as Strasbourg and Vienna who were perfect locations and symbols for Europe overcoming #FrenchGerman antagonism & Cold War division of Europe but now #Gdansk & #Istanbul are better symbolic locations for the challenges of the 21 century. Unity of all Europe including all Eastern Europe and promoting Democracy in fragile East of EU. Well, a lot of options & a lot about Vienna & Istanbul well let us not go into history but it is crucial to have better relations based on what we can really achieve together and that is very

important for both sides and for all our citizens, based on fact, not fantasies, so let us end illusion & create firm fundament for very long term beneficial #EUNATOTurkeyPartnership. Part2 Ukraine 10 Points 10 Points for European Ukraine #EuropeanUkraine #Accelerate Accession!

We in Europe have choice between #AmericanEurope #NATO or #RussianEurope and sadly for #strongEurope more capable to be a #secondpowerfullpillarofWest we need #EuropeanFrance not a #FrenchEurope. We need more #EuropeanUnity 2% EUGDP for #EU. We need #WesternUnity in #NATO42 #EU37 #Euro34 #EAP13 to contain #HostileRussia Enlarg5 Moral Case for European Unity #MoralCaseforEuropeanUnity The 3rd wave of #EUEnlargement3Zero to unite Europe #CompleteEuropeanUnification is more complicated to win on both sides. The 9 Ex-Communist countries from Balkans, Albania, the core of Ex-Yugoslavia and the Western parts of Ex-Soviet Union and former Russian Empire are less developed due to Communism, the World Wars, Civil Wars & neglect & chaos of transition. And the EU28 itself is just recovering from the decade of consequent crisis from 08 to 16 from the Global Financial Crisis, Greece debt crisis, war in Ukraine, Syria & Migration, Brexit & Trump. #HostileRussia is back as powerful global actor fully opposing #EUEnlargement3Zero Well shall we give up? Some in South of Europe are anyhow not interested and see Eastern Europe mainly as competitor for northern European subsides and opportunities. Some in rich Western Europe regard Russia more exciting as source of flight capital called FDI or as energy provider and care little for fly-over country between Vienna and Moscow. But if we believe in Europe can we exclude some Europeans just because it is complicated, costly or because we are afraid of the task or of #Putin or simple for lack of knowledge or care and compassion? And makes postponing & delaying the issue of integration better? Will people stay? Will politicians work cleaner, better & faster? Will Putin be appeased if we block the Balkans and Ukraine for another decade and feed us cheap energy forever & take back what he perceives as his and Russian sphere of influence and people in Ukraine will accept their fate and be good pro-Russian Eastern Europeans again after everything post 2014? Your guess. If in doubt come to #Kyiv ask! Is there a #MoralCaseforEuropeanUnity for these 70 Million Europeans to live in security like we live, prosperous, within the European Human and Property Rights system, with clean air and clean water, with access to the European Labour Market not forcing their men as illegal construction workers and their women for other services into the grey European labour market as a result of a lack of alternative access? How fair is a Europe that invest Billions in #EUGreenDeal while the post-Soviet Industrial Centres along the Dnipro have a terrible Air pollution up to 6 times of EU? How fair and equal is an EU when we celebrate the equality Gini index compared to US and Russia and China as #EuropeanEconomicModel when available income in Ukraine is yearly 1800 Euro average and 24000 in Austria no less then 12 times more? Similarly, the GDP per capita differential between 15 to 20 times!

Partly as answers for the wish of EU Membership of Ukraine, Georgia

and Moldova and partly as possible next level of cooperation between the EAP states and the EU. Such a sector integration in technical areas like telecom standards, infrastructure interconnectivity, access to EU labour market or similar aspects of the EU project without the EU membership as a political integration project needs now to be discussed and evaluated on EU, EAP and EAP member State level and by stakeholders from Civil Society and Business Community to assess which areas and policies make sense and find mutual political consent and in which of the policies which of the EAP states wants and can be member by 2029. CEE BC has listed specific options with hashtags here to allow for a broad discussion of options: #DeepeningEAP #SecorIntegrationEAPEU #DigitialUnionEAPEU #EnergyUnionEAPEU #CustomsUnionEAPEU #TransportUnionEAPEU #SingleSkyEAPEU #MiniSchengenEAPEU #CapitalUnionEAPEU #UnitedSMEMarketEAPEU #EuropegEAPCurrencies #UnilateralEuroAdoption #EAPinEuroStatfullyintegrated #RegionalDevelopmentMechanismNUTSEAPEU #OneTravelAreaEAPEU #CommonLaborMarketEAPEU #OneEducationAreaEAPEU #OpenServiceEAPEU #PermanentSecEAPlikeRCC #RoleofGUAM It is as well useful to discuss if there should be a permanent regional organisation for EAP establish like RCC for the Balkans and what is than the role of GUAM which unites 4 of the 6 EAP countries and does not include Armenia and Belarus as they are in EAEU and less associated with EU. So, shall there be a Central Secretariat of EAP? CEE BC recommend to task GUAM with this task for the 4 Member States and establish an own EAP Coordination office but based in Brussels open and coordinating the EAP for all 6 countries -and possible more please see the next chapter. Additionally, all Members of EAP should be invited to join RCC and we will discuss this in the 3 pillars. But now why should there be deepening of EAP and how to do it? Well adopting the EU regulatory framework, the most advanced there is globally and to have more access to sector policies and market and have the opportunities of the EU Internal Market that is certainly amazing opportunity and it will allow the EAP region to reach the next level of prosperity, Central European levels over the next decade. So, joining the Digital market, the energy union, the transport union and so on well that is amazing for EAP Members in terms of opportunities. Digital union means telecoms, roaming free in EU, e-Governance and cyber security. Energy union with EU will be as well amazing new opportunities and independence from Russia. Customs Union as an objective for the next decade will massively reduce corruption and increase consumer choice and support SME manufacturing in EAP for the EU internal market. To open the Education Area, the Labour market of EU and the Travel Area and the EU Single Sky many of these are part of the DCFTA to come aspects but to fully adopt these sector policies and do that fast is opening amazing new opportunities for EU and Ukrainian citizens. CEE BC has outlined many of the optional policies to join from Digital to Energy to Transport to Services, to Labour Market but why not have a free Schengen style Travel area within EAP and coordinate that with EU Schengen to simplify full access of EAP citizens to EU Common Travel and Work Area. Key is as well to achieve EAP full inclusion in EU Eurostat to fully compare and evaluate the public policy choices and opportunities of EU style development in EAP. Clearly a peg to Euro should be considered as well for all currency who lost so much value compared to Euro in last decade and bind them firm to Euro will allow much more FDI to come to the EAP countries who wish to join these EU Instruments please find more http://cee-bc.org/en/storage/CEE%20BC%20Members%20Letter%2043-22.pdf Enlarg8

#EAP #EAP13 #EnlargingEAP #InviteCentralAsiatoEAP #InviteTurkeytoEAP The EAP is the regional policy of the EU developed after the Neighbourhood policy 04 to 09 which was an effort to work with the countries further east of EU Enlargement round 2004 and 2007 and to give them a clear privileged role with the EU but make clear it won’t be Membership. As now time and strategic context has changed the question is if EAP might be very useful for more countries who as well want to be closer to EU but cannot join EU nor have a clear perspective to join nor will they ever. Nobody considers Uzbekistan is potential EU Candidate country. But well it is now a reforming state which want to be closer to Europe and the West. And Uzbekistan decided not to join Russian led EAEU. Actually, only Kazakhstan and Kirgizstan are member of EAU next to Belarus and Armenia and of course Russia. But should EU not compete and be readier and more open and offer EAP membership for all and let them decide, them being our Eastern Partners our partners in east of EU and central Asia will always be east and a partner and a bit squeeze between Russia, China and Iran – quite complicated neighbours and well the EU and if we are not open and welcome and ready to help who else will? And well the plan is not to have Mongolia as EU Member one day but to allow the benefits of an EU regulatory framework and trade reach as well consumers there and support the fragile Central Asian states in their transition from Soviet Union to modernity and freedom with the tool call EAP. And all current EAP and possible future EAP member have a common history dating back more than 150 years in Russian Empire, Soviet Union and CIS and well that might not have been the most lucky and pleasant joint history but it is a common aspect and there are many links, relations and trade potential why to limit EAP by the Caspian Sea and what is the fundamental difference between let us say Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan that justify one is benefiting filly from EAP and the other does not even have a FTA with the EU. And true Turkmenistan and Tajikistan are no democracies but this many might say about Azerbaijan with strong justification. This is in no way meaning that is the only way to support Central Asia and the EU has a new strategy but the question is do we as EU really need a new mechanism for Central Asia when EAP is up and running and producing results? For sure the EU needs to end the white spot situation in Central Asia with none of the countries having an FTA with EU in this mandate and then why not get this better structured from the start? And as in EAP6 no country owns another and no Russia cannot block such a policy choice and if Kazakhstan does not want to be an Eastern Partner of EU well OK but why then not allow 30 Million Uzbeks to benefit from this tool when the Uzbek Government would be very happy about it? The logic thing to do is to open up EAP to Central Asia and see who wants to join and add some basic commitment like Human Rights and so get as well a bit more reform going in Turkmenistan and Tajikistan, offer Kazakhstan and Kirgistan as 3rd pivot next to Russia and China and well take it from there. It is certainly good for EAP business and for EU business to get the EU more active in this vital part of the World and to compete with Russia and China for influence and interests as well east of the Caspian Sea with its vast energy and mineral resources. And well it is as well the morally right thing to do in the age of #multilateralism #WTO #TradeforBetterWorld #HumanRights #DemocracyforCentralAsia #WhyleaveCentralAsiatoRussia? #EnlargingEAPto13 #CentralAsiainEAP #TurkmenistaninEAP #KazakhstaninEAP #MongoliainEAP #TadjikistaninEAP #UzbekistaninEAP #KyrgistaninEAP #FTAEUKazakhstan #FTAEUUzbekistan #FTAEUMongolia #FTAEUKazakhstan #FTAEUKazakhstan #FTAEUKyrgistan #CentralAsiainRCCCEFTAEAPDCFTA2020

Why 13? Well what about Turkey? It is an EU Candidate already and the EU has a specific Customs Union with Turkey and Turkey is in NATO but currently the prospects of Turkey really joining EU look slim. And Turkey is the southern half of the Black Sea and is key player, partner, actor or problem for all 6 of the EAP. And it is maybe a way to soften the conflict with Armenia. And giving Turkey a role and involving it stronger in EAP might help to balance some interest in the EU direction. Turkey is already a powerful investor and regional actor and is helping in development reconstruction and in construction and trade it is a major factor and much trade from Black Sea goes via Turkey. Involving Turkey in regional infrastructure planning makes as well a lot of sense for the Southern Caucasus still quite isolated despite being in centre of Eurasia but how are Airlinks, Motorways and railways to South Caucasus currently?

In principle #Taxconsumptionnotperformance #VAT best form of taxation #Tariffs #Customs are worst form. #CorporateTax in #Europe between 10 and 20 – 10 in reforming EasternEurope 15 for Souther and Central European medium economies 20 for very rich western and northern Europe. For property tax is the best way to tax wealth https://taxfoundation.org/real-property-taxes-europe/ and needs to be encouraged. Other form of wealth tax or death tax should be avoided and phased out. Public services and energy and public space and access and complicated goods shall be priced not only for revenue generation but as well for access regulations and recovery of investment & health costs. That

means yes to Highway fees, cost recovery of energy, and costing of health damaging consumer goods from tobacco to drugs, to gaming and similar regulation requiring sectors. For income all SEE reform countries should adopt Flattax10, Southern Europe it should be flattax15 in high tax high income economies inside EU in Central, North and West #flattax would be good over time and gradully reduction is required but in line with budget and pricing realities and gradullay changes are better than massive cuts when the tax system is already priced in and tax compliance very high. Gradullay reduction of top rates and starting with 3 steps system 15/25/35 closer to USA system is better to transfer over next decade gradually to flattax25 in Western Europe by 2040 while adopting spending budgets to 40% State/GDP levels. 40% can be raised by #SINGLEEUVTA20 #Flattax #propertytax #ConsumptionEnergyHealthDamageTax and in Western EU we should achieve that 2040. Key arguments for flat tax 10% in post-Socialist Transition Countries #Flattax

1. Higher Economic growth allowing catching up with richer West 2. Lower informality, a new consensus between taxpayers and Government 3. Better reward for performance, both work & investment incentivised 4. More budget revenue in a faster growing economy, lower tax evasion 5. More investment as faster returns – a positive upward cycle of investment 6. More FDI attracted – marketing #Flattax10 economy as growth location 7. More budget revenue – more welfare opportunities #Flattax 8. Faster catch up with rich western Europe -reducing migration pressure 9. Develop a domestic economic elite – fair for domestic SMEs #EUSMEPolicy 10. Develop a national success spirt of a growing & successful nation #Slovakia 11. Reduce corruption by reducing rampant tax evasion, massive informality 12. Combined with Single EU VAT, fiscal registers for VAT, e-payment 13. More revenue focus on consumption than on performance #AdoptSingleEUVAT 14. Focus on land taxation, European Kataster and Digital Construction Permits 15. Reduce or best eliminate tariffs and border taxes blocking EU trade integration 16. Useful in country marketing as open, transparent FDI location #Flattax10 17. Build a new taxpayer consensus between public and consumers, taxpayers 18. Fair, open society leaving socialist past of state control & corruption behind 19. Simple, fair, modern taxation #BulgariaModel #MontenegroModel 20. Catching up with rich EU faster, attract capital, technology and people http://www.flattax-europe.eu/main/newsletter.htm

To be clear: #NetpayerPopulism is wrong. #GermanyAustriaNetherlandsFreeze wrong! Sure #MarconVeto led to #EnlargementCrisis but when at same time #Germany, #Austria, #Netherlands say they want to freeze #EUBudget at 1% while we have #EUstrivesformore? #NATOfor2PercentGDP #USApressure led to 100 Billion more defence spending but are we more secure? Will another 100 Billion European defence spending done by #EUMS make #EU #NATO more secure, impress #HostileRussia #EuropeanUkraine more successful? #EUBudget in 2020 is 160 Billion Euro = 40 Billion more matter a lot for #EU37 #UDL 40 Billion more spending for German NATO 2% target or spending it #EU37 #ESM #EIB Germany & France both spend about 45 Billion on Defence. Good to keep par level -history German GDP is One Trillion more Output because Germany bigger, richer, more productive Instead of turning unwilling Germany into biggest European military power, better higher #EUBudget and raise #MFF2020 and #EuropeanizeDefenceSpending first by 0,2% #MFF2020 and then 0,4% #MFF2028 buying via #EPBudgetProcess #EUDefenceIntegration Why 2,5TrillionGDP France has to shoulder only EU #NucelarDeterrence #MajorLandArmy #NucelarAirCraftCarrier #CapableAirforce if we assume #Brexit & building all these expensive 4 pillars by #unwillingGermany at similar size, leaving rest of Europe freeriding? Much better start to pool, share, unite key military industrial procurement & funding via EU Ask, oblige all #EuropeanTaxpayers to contribute to build such assets, establish #ESC #EuropeanSecurityCouncil chaired permanently by #FrenchPresident similar like #ESM Board should be chaired by Germany Chancellor -#ifUKstays #EUNavyBoard UK Turning #Macron into #ESC might seem farfetched but he is only with #ForceFrappe anyhow BTW as we see with recent visit to #China #India, relations #NATOUSA, #HostileRussia Better give #FrenchPresident #GermanChancellor clear role, tasks, responsibility #EU We need 1,4% of #EUGDP as #EUBudget & we need it in #MFF2020 for #strongEurope https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/meetings/ecofin/2019/11/15/ #EER 5 #strongEPPO #LineAuthorityDGCompetition #EuropeanFBI #SMEsAgainstCorruption #EUwideTaxKatasterCentralBankDataInteroperability #EU needs more authority in #RuleofLaw, great we have #EPPO now but we need #strongEPPO to have full power, real #EuropeanGeneral Prosecutor like in #USA #Attorney General/ in Germany www.generalbundesanwalt.de/de/index.php Same we need not only #Europol #Frontex but we need #EuropeanFBI we need that due to cross border organised criminality & international terror & hostile foreign financial interventions #ColdWar2zerolight #HostileRussia & political collusion with corporate criminal networks. As well because in most of the smaller to medium #EUMS of EU28 and even more #EU37 we face massive political collusion with judiciary often unreformed from Communist past & lack of independence culture of judiciary, lack of non-intervention culture of political elites considering they own their nations fully - including judiciary appointment authority core of all later abuse and based on dependency. Despite reforming in letter, the sad reality of collusion between political & judiciary elites often related or in same networks! Results in cohesive collusive corruption networks so entrenched from Malta to Romania Sad! Well, would Southern States of USA had full judiciary independence and control even #USA might have slavery and segregation and racial discrimination still today legally in place. #FBI It is all fine to be sovereign but in #EUPoliticalUnion it is as well concerning every taxpayer, EU citizens if Slovakia and Malta kill journalist and Romana and Bulgaria make bad name #EUenlargement and if Austria and Finish ExPM take Russian gold for services during sanctions. It is not just the Finnish or Maltese way of doing things with rest of Europe can only applause and advice. If they down in Malta just joined for transfers and adopt only letter of EU judiciary concepts and do it like in Libya or Lebanon well they are wrong! And if we did not build the #EPPO so powerful because of Poland and Hungary well let us ask them if

they like the transfers as well? So, we need clean up some left overs and well we should be role model for the world and not safe location for global flight capital nor Russian gold nor be outsmarted by organised criminal networks so we have to follow the money #EU: #EUwideTaxKatasterCentralBankDataInteroperability #SMEAgainstCorruption #Dataexchange between #Tax #Kataster #CompanyAgencies #CentralBanks to ensure transparency – we are #West! not safe harbour for flight capital from Developing World – Serious efforts for #DataInteroperability must include all #EUAccession States who as well have to Submit and accept authority of #strongEPPO #DGCompetition #CVM #EuropeanRuleofLaw True, as we see with debate and delay on #StrongFrontex all such transfer of sovereign rights to EU Complicated, contentious, controversial, painful as they were in #USA during its formation phase Well the USA was not born with #FBI nor with the #FTC nor did it have a #StrongArmy before 1917 Why #LineAuthorityDGCompetition and what is meant by that? #EU is very much about #Competition For #Consumerprotection #WorkingMarkets #EnsureFairComeptition #LimitBigStateBigSubsidies #GDCompetition works very well so do some #CompetitionAuthorities in bigger, older economies But how do #CompetitionAuthorities work in Malta, Cyprus, Austria, Romania, Slovenia, Bulgaria? How do they work in Ukraine, Serbia, Montenegro, Moldova, Bosnia, Kosovo, Albania, Georgia? Not so well, once everybody knows each other, CEO & PM from same party, collusion complete! So, #DGCompetition needs #AppointmentAuthority of all EU Competition Agencies plus Accession And all ComeptitionAgencies report to DG Competition create #EuropeanCompetitionUnionEU37 Including to give #DGCompetition the power and tools and resources to investigate every case of market manipulation or distortion or subsidy it decides to investigate or desires to understand fully In Europe we have #ECJ https://curia.europa.eu/jcms/jcms/Jo2_6999/en/ & #ECHR https://echr.coe.int/Pages/home.aspx?p=home we have a network of European Supreme Courts www.network-presidents.eu/page/supreme-courts well it does not take #LegalWizard to propose we need next to #ECJ #ECHR as well #EuropeanSupremeCourt for #strongEPPO and #EuropeanFBI to have a #EuropeanSupremeCourt to decide on their cases. Maybe not to bring an extra level of Justice for all cases above the #EUMS Member States that would be expensive for all side and why to have it for cases which are not organised crime, international terror, international financial crimes and major political corruption, international espionage & hostile power interventions in EU economy or political system all such cases for #EuropeanFBI prepare for #strongEPPO and then #EUSC to judge Again, why have #StrongEPPO #EuropeanFBI for major cases when then the Court System of #EUMS cannot handle them because the brother of the PM is judge or all related family? And not to hammer on Malta, Latvia or Montenegro but even in Austria we have major issues to handle Russian Connection, political corruption & collusion some cases for decades unresolved and let us not get started about handling the major terrorism cases etc. And let us not forget in Communism Judiciary was just under full power of politics, waiting for the call and order. And we are just 30 years from that time & transition was turbulent & lucrative traditions die hard. No, we clearly need #EuropeanCourt and it is time for #EuropeanJustice system fully developed with full authority & competence. Why this matter for SMEs part of #EuropeanEconomicReform? Well, where the Mafia or similar networks dominate the nexus of politics and big business be sure no SMEs will make good business. Where the political powerful dominate corporate world & judiciary that is 100% contrary to European Economic Model based on SMEs, consumer, citizens, fair access to all public opportunities & sorry we cannot just do a Common Currency without by time a Common Court #ESC http://cee-bc.org/en/storage/CEE%20BC%20Members%20Letter%2019-2018.pdf http://cee-bc.org/en/storage/CEE%20BC%20Members%20Letter%2020-2018.pdf #EER6 #ReduceRussiaDependency #EUEnergyUnion #CommonEUEnergyRegulator #EU needs to complete #EnergyUnion #ClimateUnion but all under the strategic objective to reduce European Dependency #Russia #ReduceEUDependencyfromRussia #EU needs #EuropeanDependencyIndexfromHostileRussia #Trump is hammering us on #NATODefenceSpending - True that is important but the defence of Europe is done by Ukraine at Demarcation Line in Eastern Ukraine and not by GermanPanzer nor FrenchNukes #ColdWar2zeroLight will be decided by #ProsperityDifferential #EU37 #West to #Russia

In this assumption why buy massively energy from #HostileRussia & funding aggression? #RF aggression & power projection capability depends on www.russiamatters.org/node/11300 Buying Energy including #TransitionFees which Ukraine is defending so eagerly but as well Why build more transport infrastructure for Russian gas then? #NorthStream2 #SouthStream Sure, to cut it completely is hard as well, first we have to build massive energy infrastructure & build common Energy market & #EnergyUnion but all this is ongoing since 2006 crisis!!! So where are the results in 13 years we know this is required? #EU can do better, faster! Now #TripartiteDialogue EU, Ukraine, Russia for GasTransit, USA Sanctions #NorthStream Where is the logic of #NATO #EU #West- we allow ourselves to be outsmarted, divided? And not only gas, but as well petrol, nuclear we buy up to 300 Billion from #HostileRussia And #Rosatom is doing Nucelar projects in EU, NATO? Why and how come? #Sanctions? And we invest in #GreenDeal resulting in even higher #EnergyImports from #HostileRussia? Do we really have rational, responsible, reasonable strategy worthy for EU? Well, not sure! So what needs to be done? First #CompleteEnergyUnion https://ec.europa.eu/energy/en but including Ukraine, Southern Caucasus, CEFTA, EFTA establishing a #EnergyPillarofNATO meaning including #CustomsUnionMemberTurkey into #PanEuropeanEnergyUnion meaning a more powerful www.energy-community.org/ by MOU #NATOEnergyCommunityMOU & conclude #TTIP2020 and form #USAEUCommonEnergyMarket2020 #WeareNATO… & establish a new #EUAgencyforEnergyIndependence as own EUAgency – one only tasked to collect data & advocate the energy import reduction from Russia by 50% by 2024. It has to be separate agency with political clout to advocate #EuropeanEnergyIndependence2050 https://emerging-europe.com/intelligence/emerging-europes-ongoing-pursuit-of-energy-independence/ Yes to #EuropeanGreenDeal Yes to #Decarbonisation but first we need to think strategic security as NATO Allies and contain #HostileRussia #CleanEuropefromDirtyRussianCarbon #CleanEuropeanPoliticsfromRussianDirtyCarbonFunding #RussianCarbonBetterthenOurs? #LineAuthorityACER instead of complement and coordinate the work of national energy regulators www.acer.europa.eu needs full power #EuropeanEnergyRegulator with the authority, budget, direct, enforce, appointment authority for CEOs of all EU Members, EU Candidates to complete #EnergyUnion similar like the #USA has www.ferc.gov/ get serious, energy matters! #EU develop a #EuropeanDependencyIndexfromHostileRussia #EIB to start #DebtEquitySwapEIB Europeanise Nuclear TTPs in Debt Equity Swap EU MS EIB into big EU Energy Company to end RosAtom funding and building potentially 6 nuclear TTP in EU! #DebtEquitySwapEIB build big EU Champions in Railway, Energy, Motorways able to buy strategic infrastructure in CEE and SEE to block Russian take overs – it is our responsibility to build Eastern European Infrastructure not Russias! Better EIB owns state owned Infrastructure than #HostileRussia & such swaps reduce debt level of #EUMS so can invest back in #EnergyInfrastructure together with #EIB and #EIBOwnedStateOwnedEnergyCompanies Such #EIBOwnedStateOwnedEnergyCompanies #StrongEurope #StrongEIBEnergyComanies Able to compete with Russian State Energy competitors -securing #EUEnergyIndependence. http://cee-bc.org/en/storage/CEE%20BC%20Members%20Letter%2036-15.pdf #EER7 #OneEurope with #OneClimate #OneClimateEnvironmentforAllEurope #OneEuropeanClimate #OneEuropeanEnvironment so why are #EAP countries not #EEACooperatingCountries @ #EuropeanEnvironmentAgency? Why not www.eea.europa.eu/countries-and-regions at least DCFTA Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia! #JoinEuropeanEnvironmentAgencyUkraineGeorgiaMoldova and #EU support #EAPinEEA Eastern Europe and Balkans SEE have by far the worst reality in Air, Water, Waste or any of The many topics www.eea.europa.eu/themes the EU is covering and if interested in details Check the Air quality Index https://waqi.info/ and really it is quite bad Serbia, Ukraine, BiH! #CriminalCommunistRecklessIndustrialisation has scared the Eastern half of #OneEurope

In 1992 #West wisely established #RegionalEnvironmentCenter #REC www.rec.org/ one it is under liquidation, while the work for #CleanGreenEasternEurope is only half done! Why? While we in rich western #EU go now to new level #EuropeanGreenDeal #ClimateDeal from already very clean, green reality of EU2019 #UDL now plans massive #GreenDeal – good! But please include #EU37 include #EuropeanBalkans #EuropeanUkraine #EAP because Investing in achieving European Environment Standards in Eastern Europe very effective for #OneGreenCleanEurope #EnvironmentCrisisEasternEurope needs to be tackled by #EU @VSinkevicius young and from #EuropeanLithuania #GreenDealvsEnlargementEU37 Well, it should not be a binary choice but clearly we will have #GreenerEurope by #EU37 Getting 70 Million more people into EU and into all our efforts for #GreenerEurope! Great! We need to be strategic to contain challenge of #HostileRussia in EasternEurope. ClimatePanic nor ExtinctionRebellion fact or science based. #EU is already doing more than anybody in this World for improving Environment – first priority: the same in all #OneEurope! As already outlined in #EER4 we first have to #ReduceEUDependencyfromRussia It makes no sense to end #EuropeanCoal where it might still make sense economically while we simple increase importing #RussianCarbonGasPetrolCoal or #RussianNuclear In Russia they care little for their #Climate nor for #GlobalClimate and the conditions of #RussianCarbonExtraction are much more damaging for #GlobalClimate & funding #RussianAgression funding of political fringe groups in #EU similar like #SovietUnion funded the so called #PeaceMovement of 1980ies is deeply problematic for #EuropeanClimate! So what needs to be done? Incude all all who want to join EU in #EEA and budget to support #FullSectorIntegration of 9futureEUMembersBalkansUkraineGeorgiaMoldova to EEA level If we have the funds for #Greendeal we for sure first of all have the funds for #CleanEEA37 #EER8 #EU build #PanEuropeanLaborMarket #EuropeanworksforallEuropeans #EU has new #EUAgency #ELA #ELA37 #EuropeanLabourAuthoriy https://ela.europa.eu/about.html which will manage the European Job & Mobility Portal: https://ec.europa.eu/eures/public/homepage and is great success of #DGSocial https://ec.europa.eu/social/main.jsp?catId=1414&langId=en and in #SEE? We have the Center for State Employment Agencies www.cpessec.org/ amazing as EU is very much about Freedom of Movement for Workers and the right to work in all EU #EUInternalmarket and it is obvious that better information, cooperation, experience exchange is key for a working #LabourMarket in EU & in all Europe to develop real Continent wide #LabourMarket #USA Clearly a larger, more open #PanEuropeanLabourMarket like in #USA will allow #EU to gradually catch up with still major #ProspertyDifferential between USA and EU and help Eastern Europe esp. #EuropeanUkraine to close up to #HostileRussia and close the #ProsperityDifferential between #West & #HostileRussia - #EuropeanRomania has achieved!

Please be sure not a single EU Member State would be as rich as it is today without the #EUInternalMarket and its Freedom of Workers meaning that supply and demand of Labor, skills, talent can match much better, faster more productive and #EU37 is getting much richer! Sad, we have still many obstacles for #FreeMovement cultural, information, language and sadly some technical barriers but we are getting better, freer and more integrated every day! #ELA #EURES will deliver, so will #CompleteInternalMarket in #TransportCapitalEnergy #SocialistSouthernEurope true, it is lagging behind but #EU will improve, address, invest! #FranceItalyCroatiaGreece sad relicts of #SocialistLabourConcepts keeping them down! Sadly, we are still far from a #PanEuropeanLabourMarket able to find a new equilibrium fast after a regional shock and we have much work ahead, 16,5Million unemployed far too much!

When everybody complains #brainDrain and #DepopulationofBalkansEasternEurope? Well, the only way to stem the tide of #MagneticCentralNorthernWesternEurope is to improve working & living conditions in South and Eastern Europe by more competitive economic framework #EUSMEPolicy #Euro #flattax10 #MakeBalkansEasternEurope and #SouthernEurope maybe not great again but make it Beautiful (much is!) Make #EuropeanBalkans, EE successful, & most of all ensure #EconomicGrowth faster- #RichWesternEurope! Present #InformalAccess to #EULabourMarket is not good enough. Creates massive Informality on EU labour Market and alternative is further closing it and massive Police Enforcement #AustrianPopulistModel or building a new #IronCurtain this time we #EU around Balkans or against Ukraine? #OrbanFenceagainstBalkansiswrong Working condition is Informal Shadow Labour Market where Albanians and Ukrainians compete with African and Asian refugees is creating much criminality, work related accidents, tax evasion, health and safety accidents, welfare issues and actually we build Europe to reduce or best end of such negative phenomena and then our policy to exclude the 70 Million fellow Europeans from Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia and Balkans? Why? Where is the logic of this policy when our corporate leaders and European SMEs are calling for more workers every day? Sure, we have we have help in case of crisis, war and emergencies all people of World, we should and do and will!, but do we not feel stronger bonds with fellow Europeans from Ukraine, Kosovo, Serbia and Georgia? Europeans who we have mostly promised to be fellow EU citizens – in same EU with same rights one day! Do we not have a moral and historic obligation for uniting Europe including Ukraine, Moldova Georgia and Balkans as EU37? #PanEuropeanLabourMarket is not full #EUFreeMovement but depends on a work contract & requires return after losing such a work contract and a reasonable 3 month before and after to re-orientate but does not give permanent residence rights nor allows it permanent welfare access beyond paid up insurance rights. Poland has partly opened the labour market for Ukrainians with great results – Germany has now partly opened the labour market and the German reform of #hartz4 since 2002 which halved German unemployment – amazing! Only by working in EU -Europeans from Balkans and Ukraine can fast improve skills, learn European Labour standards and earn surplus income so vital for as start-up and investment capital back in Ukraine and Balkans to fund economic growth and consumption and partly replace the minimal welfare system to allow defence, capital investment required to leapfrog development and catch up with expectations of consumers, workers, citizens fully aware of the prosperity and development differential within European continent. And when they are anyhow working in EU why force them into informality with all the negative effects of no welfare rights and tax evasion and showing Ukrainian and Balkans shadowy aspects of European economy we really don’t like or most of Europeans even do not know such realities exist & force them to work under very sad, often dangerous conditions? No, we can and should do better than this and so it is time for #PanEuropeanLabourmarket EU37 now in 2020! #UDL #OpenEurope for all #Europeans so open #EULabourMarket fully for #CEFTAplusUkrGeo #EER9 #PanEuropeanKataster #EuropeanGeoInformation #TwinofEuropeanCapitalMarket #EUAgencyforLandRegistersGeoInformation #EuropeanLandManagement for #EU37

#BackboneEuropeanRuleofLaw #CommonEuropeanMortgageMarket #CapitalUnion #EU #Geoportal https://inspire-geoportal.ec.europa.eu/ is very important for all aspects of #GoodGovernance and needs to be enlarged for all #WB6 #EAP #EU37 from 2020 onwards This is key for Urban Planning, Agriculture & land planning, residential development, infrastructure planning & environment protection but have a #EU37Geoportal is good but only one side of the potential of what is required for #GoodGovernance #EU37 #EU needs #EuropeanKataster for all #EU37 meaning that all EUMS Kataster & Land registers ensure their database are fully interoperable and both the #InspireGeoportal and the umbrella of all #EU and #EUAccessionLandRegisters – again with #LineAuthority on #CEO #ReportingEP #EUAgencyforLandRegistersGeoInformation is powerful now #EUAgency Why? For Common Agriculture, EU wide Infrastructure and Environmental protection but as well for having direct access to all property assets is key for #EuropeanFBI and #strongEPPO #KatasterisTwinofCourts so as much as #EU is about protection property rights fully it must be clear which assets are where and who bought what with which funds and how they were obtained. We did not build Europe for Italian mafia to launder funds from organised criminalty in Slovakia and all it FDI and no questions asked,! - and who asks gets killed. No way! European must be about Transparency who owns what and where. The Kataster Agency of North Macedonia proofs powerful what is possible www.katastar.gov.mk/en/home/ And please no hiding behind data protection regulation. It is the right of every citizens to know who owns what land and property in all Europe. Property rights of land is a public secured right and the public has the right to know who owns what and it is not only for lawyers, notary or courts or behind paywalls but for anybody for free to know who owns what & where in EU. #EuropeanKataster is the #backbone of the #RuleofLaw and we need to ensure this works not only in Austria or Sweden but European wide in same manner with same standards. This matters for cases of divorces, debt collection, money laundering, terror funding, Russian or Chinese investment but as well to deliver court decision and ensure enforcement. It matters as well for efficient systems of property taxes in all Europe https://taxfoundation.org/compare-property-taxes-in-europe-2019/ not to have European wide property tax, but to ensure efficient tax revenue collection on comparable level in all Europe to ensure funding mostly for municipal public services and ensure collection of all property related public services from waste, water, canalisation, urban planning, public greenery, electricity, lightening & more. #EuropeanKataster is key as well for safeguarding green and agriculture land, secure decent land usage and environmental protection, digital construction permitting which helps so much to reduce corruption and ensure speedy construction permits for residential and FDI and SME commercial requirement and ensure agricultural subsidies match with reality. #EuropeanKataster is as well key for #EuropeanMortgageMarket and we should make sure if we want #LaborMobility and investment in #SouthernEurope that consumers can mortgage their residential home in the home country to buy where to work or where the want to spend the holidays or where they choice to invest. How to develop a European Capital market if we do not have a European Kataster so reliable to ensure European Banks can and want to use each property in Europe as collateral for mortgage financing for any European wherever he or she lives, owns an asset or wants to buy a new asset and want to use a European bank for funding this and we need to release this potential growth sector by #EuropeanKataster #UDL we need to make sure – every property, land, flat, house, commercial building, infrastructure asset is online with ownership accessible online, we need to make sure every building permit in Europe is digitalized and online and we need to make sure each property, every asset is registered as well but as well as a liability register able to carry debts both from public sector, from courts via the debt collection system or from taxes or subsidies but as well all property related public or administration service charges as there can be no single electricity bill or waste, water or canalisation service bill unpaid as it must be linked to liability register

#EuropeanKataster must be asset and liability register both as backbone to property rights system and rule of law and that included the debt collection system and the financial system which is very much the sister of the property market. We need as well a public access to property prices based on real transaction prices both for property owing or buying consumer but as well for macroeconomic security to avoid asset bubble or financial imbalances. True there might be 28 or 37 different system of Kataster but all have to be interoperability and the databases behind it have to be fully able to exchange date and fully allowed to do so. We do not need so called FDI from EAP or #HostileRussia being in reality flight capital. We need #Europeankataster as well to be compatible with #ECB & EUMS Central banks and all EU Tax Agencies and of all EU37 Tax Agencies & everybody document origin funds purchase #UDL #EUstrivedformore #EU needs #EUAgencyforLandRegistersGeoInformation 2020 #EER10 #PanEuropeanDigitalUnion #DigitalSMEs #EGov #DigitalPublicService #OpenData #Digitalisation #DigitalGAP #OneDigitalEurope #DigitalUnion #OpenAccess #CyberSecurity #DigitalSkills #ESkillsWeek #EUDigitalEconomyandSocietyIndex #DESI https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/digital-public-services-scoreboard https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/desi & https://digital-agenda-data.eu/ #CompleteDigitalMarket by including Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Balkans fully in 2020 #DigitalGovernment is the key to catch up for the post-communist transformation Europe. #DigitalNorthMacedonia is amazing European best with #Europeankataster www.katastar.gov.mk/ and with #DigitalConstructionPermits www.zels.org.mk/ www.doingbusiness.org/content/dam/doingBusiness/country/m/macedonia-fyr/MKD.pdf #EuropeanNorthMacedonia is amazing, best in Europe.

#UDL #Railways #Motorways #StrategicInfrastructure #MassivePublicInvestments #strongEurope #EU37 needs new instrument to fund Motorway, Railway Infrastructre #SignificantRequirementsNewEasternEurope #SouthernEuropeanCrisis #Fiscallimits #PublicInvestment #EconomicStimlumus #StrategicEconomicNeccessity #SymbolsUnity So what needs to be done? Establish #EUHighwayHoldingEIB #EURailwayInfrastructureHoldingEIB – similar in #Energy #Banking #StateAssets #EUDebtEquitySwapEIB meaning #EUMS swap their Motorway, RailwayInfrastructure, Energy etc and for debt reduction with EIB –EIB then to rationalise, develop, invest and fund infrastructure investment focus East but as well overall European Motorway & Railway Infrastucture along European priorities. Meaning all #EUMS plus Accession states plus Ukraine, EAP who want can pool their MotorwayAssets & Railway Infrastructre in one EIB owned #EuropeanCompany well nobody has to, some might prefer go their own way like now, some will want debt reduction some EUMS will prefer to be shareholder of #EuropeanRailwayHolding instead of reducing their debt level but most will pool their assets in such EIB led effort. Why? It will stay in public hand – just at EU level, their public interest will be safeguared by EP, EC, EIB while the level of professional management, accession to funding and the issues of political appointments, collusive even corruptive networks much minimised EIB. All Railway operators should then compete #panEuropeanwide in fully opened European Railway market fully opened and liberalised. Meaning #SingleEuropeanRailwayArea fully including Balkans & EAP who want to join can join 2020. #JoinSERA #EU37 www.era.europa.eu/ Single European Rail Area #SERA https://ec.europa.eu/transport/modes/rail/events/single-european-rail-area-sera-events-technical-pillar-4th-railway-package_en 13 Billion are already planned for EAP https://ec.europa.eu/transport/themes/international/news/2019-01-15-eastern-partnership_en Much more will be needed so this can be mobilised via #EUdebtequityswapsEIB and the #EuropeanRailwayInfrastructureHolding For Railway Transport, good and people then operators hopefully many more privite and hopefully some privatised will compete #SERA #EuropeanMotorwayOperatorHolding will as well offer #EIBDebtEquitySwaps so e.g: #ASFINAG will be swaped by AustriaGovernment to #EIB & this #EMOH will than along www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/headlines/society/20181018STO16586/road-charges-in-the-eu-a-fairer-and-greener-system develop a fairer and greener system for road pricing for all Europe best a modern system working on all Europe – raising revenues for operations of secure highways, best to recover some of the massive investment for taxpayers and make it fair and simple and transparent for consumers from all Europe to use highways in all Europe. Ukraine, Kosovo, Montenegro still have no highway tolling! Germany has no car tolling! Funding such major investment for the general taxpayer without cost recovery from users unfair and limits European growth and investment and secure operation future. We need as well low congestion methods of toll collections to reduce petrol and time loss, save climate and nerves and times and costs for transport and mobility by rational European intervention! We do not have much carbon left in Europe, we anyhow want to fight climate change! So, reducing wasteful congestion and have more rational European wide road pricing it wonderful way to achieve these objectives while reducing European dependency from Russia! For RailwayInfrastructre we clearly work with European Gauge meaning not the Russian railway system – that is for Russian world only. We invest only in European standards including to transform all Ukrainian, Moldova Southern Caucasus on European standards. Once www.uz.gov.ua/en/about/ is transfer to #EIB by #EUDebtEquitySwapEIB the full integration of Ukrainian Railways in #SERA can start fully 2020. Ukraine wants now to privatise many state assets, anyone ready to buy but #EIB or fancy #Russia, #China own UZ We had so much debate on #EuropeanChampions after blocking nonsensical #SiemensAlstom

Private sector merger which would have reduced competition for public procurement in EU! But EU leaders not ready for merging www.dbnetze.com/infrastruktur-de/unternehmensinfos-infrastruktur-1440774 & www.sncf-reseau.com/fr/reseau into #EuropeanRailwayInfrastructureHolding which would be one real #EuropeanChampion and add all in and transfer it to #EIB and basically repeat some aspects of what we did with Airbus but in Infrastructure not in operation nor building of rolling stocks like #AlstomSiemens would be been. The same principle for Energy, Motorway, Railways etc The pricing of this mega infrastructure has then to allow for operation and key investments making sense and if Government want some extra railways or faster staff well co-fund it. Such #EuropeanRailwayInfrastructureHolding can than build serious European wide transport planning and unite Europe from Ukraine to Spain much faster by high speed rail system and high-volume transport system as even China shows is possible today. Does it make sense to build ever more TGVs when you 3 hours by train Paris to Marseille and 30 hours from Vienna to Thessaloniki? We are #OneEurope and it is very good for France if all are well connected and we are getting much richer much faster and much more secure united! The real battle for European future of to win heart and minds of all Europeans! Connect them! Well some thing will take time but to invite Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Turkey to #TransportCommunity and combine #EuropeanInfrastructureInterconnectivity 2020 easy… #EER12 #RoleofRegionsinEU37 #PowertoRegions #PowerfulSMEfocusedRegions Why do we have such big #ProsperityDifferential inside #EU and inside #EUMS? EU needs #RegionsEmpoweredforRegionalEconomicDevelopment #CompetitiveFederalism #PowerfulRegion #ControlCentralGovernment #CompetitionWork #CompetingRegionsinEU #EmpowerRegionstoReduceCentrifugalPopulism #EUSMEPolicy #SuccessUnites #SuccessbesttoolAgainstSeparatism #AustrianRegionalCompetitionModel #RegionalGovenors #betterregionalpolicy in #EU and Accession based on #PowertotheRegions #RDA #RegionalDevelopmentAgencies. #AustrianRegionalEconomicCompetitiveFederalism https://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/en/ and please see the differences between regions in EU https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/GDP_at_regional_level#Regional_gross_domestic_product_.28GDP.29 First of all, please #Eurostat include Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, Balkans in all maps 2020! #EU is very much about convergence, cohesion, regional development, major success! But are we doing enough? And what can be done for better results in terms of more convergence? See https://bruegel.org/2019/06/a-european-atlas-of-economic-success-and-failure/ While the West East divide is getting smaller and new EU13 are catching up because of #EUInternalMarket and #RegionalCohesion well we have to do more and as well address the fundamentals why this is not showing so much effect in all EU and Accession #EU37 Most #EUMS and all Accession still much to centralistic! Most wealth is accumulated centre! See the shocking differential between #NorthEnglishRegion and London! See the difference between Prague and Bratislava already 30% points richer GNI capita than Vienna but rest of Slovak and Czech Republic much behind Austrian regions who have real power for economic development and responsibility for the well-being of their residents in their region. We need powerful regions, with regional Assemblies, regions Governors and reasonable budget and administrative power to develop and administer the region and a state owned POE responsible for #FDI promotion #SMEs development and #RegionalEconomicDevelopment and to release the positive power of regional competition with people, consumers, voters and investors comparing and measuring live quality, job opportunity and living conditions in all European regions based on #CompetitiveFederalism and #RegionalEmpowerment Sadly due to fragilities with issues from Scotland to Catalonia, Kosovo and Crimea and a confused

mixed of prejudice, centralistic elites and #PutinPropaganda many are afraid of separatism and so best to keep all power in Madrid, London, Kyiv, Rome, Belgrade? Well for sure not! The more centralistic the less a #EUMS delivers for all and the more centrifugal forces! Optimal it powerful & responsible regional authority like the region Upper Austria and its SME Development Agency https://www.biz-up.at/en/ responsible for FDI promotion, finding commercial locations, SMEs support, innovation, SME clusters, cooperation with Universities and EU support and Austrian regional development activities. It is not directed from Vienna what is happening in Upper Austrian regional development agency and such an efficient, responsible and competition-based effort to promote regional development is required in all EU and EU accession. But the EU needs more involvement and authority. #EU need to power to start dialogue with #EUMS Government is the divergence inside #EUMS is above 130% or below 70% inside that Member State. A Mandatory Dialogue on regional development with a result of an Action Plan in power of EU Directive how to address the divergence and decentralise, empower, develop, build infrastructure, make more SME policy, develop regional political and economic institutions has to be developed and then agreed up in EP and EC and its implementation reported and well within a 10 years framework we should get better results for all region. We are EU cannot leave any region behind. And if EUMS are not ready so let us understand, discuss, address help and bring in up on a European Action Plana and if the problem is too big then next step is #EUCoManagedRegion for regions whose challenges are too big and too strategic for the capacity of the Member States or similar long-term energies arises What about sovereignty? Well #Europeantaxpayer have a right to have good governance and regional cohesion in all EU if they are anyhow asked to support in case of crisis or have to face Brexit when the regions which the UK neglects blame the EU for this like North England or as we see now with #yellowvestes in France when neglect of regions explodes! Are NUTS and political and economic regions designed well for such a process. Optimal each member states no matter the size should have 4 to maximum 20 regions. 4 in case of Malta, Luxembourg and Montenegro and 20 for Italy, France and Germany. Some might have maybe only 100.000 residents well Ok and #Nordrhein-Westfalen with 17 maybe would be good to have #NordRhein and #Westfalen or Baden and Württemberg, Bayern and Franken but when it works well why change it! But when it does not work and some are above 130 and some below 70 of #EUMS average than it is a case for a mutually agreed action planned to be discussed and approved by EP, EC, Council and EUMSParliament. If it needs a #EUTreaty change well let us do it, but we cannot be one Europe without #strongEurope needs #strongerCohesion #fasterconvergence and we cannot redistribute so much via #EUBudget process as simple #EUMS have to perform better in #regionaldevelopment #Convergences and if they do not #EU and all #EUMS have to address this together to ensure no region is left behind. Each #EUMS has to budget target 1% GDP for #RegionalEconomicDevelopment and the effect and results benchmarked EU37 wide. #EU to set up new #EUAgency one of the new 6 for #RegionalDevelopment #SMESupportImplementation #SMEs #Umbrella for all #EUMS FDI, SME Agencies and for all #RDA of all #EU and Accession Regions, for Tourism and for promoting #EU37 as FDI globally with regional offices in all 9 regions of world – USA, OAS, AU, OIC, India, China, ASEANplus, Commonwealth after Brexit, #HostileRussia after end of Sanctions. Check #UNReforms for that concept. The core of this new agency will be the already existing https://ec.europa.eu/easme/ but it will receive coordination authority – not line authority nor appointment authority Cleary as we need to unleash competition between EUMS and regions for better results but coordination and assembly and benchmarking authority for all RDAs of all regions of EU37 and add tourism from DG growth and possible other sectors and add external EU investment promotion in the 9 other regions of world and turn that agency in

new powerful hub of economic policy implementation, benchmarking results and project implementation for SMEs, FDI, Regional Development and Tourism Development. While the political process of benchmarking the political system and advocating subsidiarity and empowering regions and reducing separatism by improving federalism and subsidiarity and promoting and assisting decentralising needs a separate agency #AgencyforSubsidarity We need 6 new agencies as well one for #EuropeanCulturalHeritage as well a powerful factor for #RegionalDevelopment and Tourism but better in a separate Agency working closely with UNESCO and all stakeholders protecting cultural heritage a key asset for pollical narrative and economic development and European unity based on a shared common cultural heritage that united all Europeans. Great we have this UNESCO but we can do that as well as EU and it is key to make European proud and anyhow most is EU taxpayer funds. #Establish6NewEUAgencies clearly the 4 should work especially close together #EUAgencyforLandRegistersGeoInformation #EUAgencyforCulturalHeritage #EUAgencyTourismSMEsEntrepreneurshipRegionalDevelopment #EUAgencyforSubsidarity 2030 should see a United Europe #EU37 but as well a more cohesive, converged #EU37 Much richer, much closer to #North American prosperity levels & not only 3 times richer than #Hostile Russia but 4 better 5 times richer – increase #ProsperityDifferential key to win #ColdWar2Zerolight with #HostileRussia we are in since 2014 and will be for next decade!

Without constant devaluations, high inflation, currency risk, high interest rates – growth is easier. Montenegro is now at 7,670$ GDP cap, Kosovo is now at 4,230 $ compared to rich Ukraine at 2,600 $. & Moldova at 2.300 $ and let us not forget where Montenegro and Kosovo were 20 years ago. The decision #Euroadoption was right and is proven success. Montenegro is only independent since 2006 and now in #NATO and frontrunner for #EU. So, all pro EU countries who want to join #EuroAdoption #NorthMacedonia MKD and Bosnia KM is pegged, firmly with #Euro anyhow. #Albania in NATO tracks Euro, why do #Serbia #Georgia #Ukraine #Moldova not adopt Euro #Euro34? So, we have 2 #EuroAdoption already and 2 #Europeg and so why not have 9 so 25+9=34 @ #AccelerateAccession #Supranationalityfrontloaded Adopting the Euro as most powerful tool of EU integration makes it very clear to consumer & voter & world where a nation is heading to – the EU. It is firm fundament for investment, low inflation and low interest rates, at least lower than with massive constant currency risk and high inflation, for much lower interest rates please #Europeankataster #RuleofLaw #AntiCorruption much of it happening @ Anyhow it is part of #EU treaties to adopt #Euro 100% once in EU, so why wait, lose time as without the #Euroadoption convergence & integration takes much longer. As #Slovakia #Slovenia #Baltics shows the #Euro is essential for next level of integration & prosperity. @ if you think – better alone -why join #EU? If you think currency is patriotic pride! Why join #EU if you think #Euro not good, well study & learn facts #ECB – if you prefer constant devaluation, inflation, insecurity, low investment, high interest rates, high migration, currency manipulation, low growth, prefer #Orban or #Vucic well, join #EAEU adopt #Ruble 16 #DebtEqyitySwapsEIB

http://cee-bc.org/en/storage/CEE%20BC%20Members%20Letter%2034-13.pdf #EER17 #EUDefenceIntegration is great - We should have done it 15 years ago! But first let us be clear. #WeareNATO #Europe is secured by #NATO #NATO70 The real reason for European success is the security provided by #NATO thanks #USA We should be united all in #NATO42 – much better an #AmericanEurope in NATO Than fragile #France grandstanding bullying us into a #FrenchEurope leading over time to a #RussianEurope thanks a lot we had that and no more, never, ever! But yes to a #EuropeanFrance as central pillar of #StrongEurope so what to do? This:

#EUjoinNATO #NATO42 #NoNeutralityinEU #EUUnitedinNATO #TTIP2020 #EUDefenceIntegration #France is leader in DefenceIndustry in Europe and given that #EUMembersMinusUK spend #200Billion$DefenceSpending2018EU27 little deterrence We need to pool #DefenceProcurement we need to build hardware #AircraftCarriers #AirDefence #CyberDefence #StrategicDeterrence – Command structure we have in #NATO so not #EUArmy but #EUDefenceProcurementUnited www.eda.europa.eu/ But we need as well #EuropeanSecurityCouncil to coordinate all Security related issue And this #ESC should be chaired by #FrenchPresident on permanent basis with rotating VPs In exchange for ceding the #UNOSecurityCouncilSeat to HR #BorrellwithUNOVETO We need to get serious with #EU so says #FrenchPresident to give the seat to Borrell! #ESCChairman permanent is justified as anyhow #FrenchPresident only one with #Nukes #ESC than coordinate the EU Budget increases to secure extra 0,4% EUGDP in MFF2028 to pool #EUDefenceProcurement EU wide with all EUMS and taxpayers pooling 0,4% in EU Spending more on EUMS level to reach 2% well not very useful if we do not pool more #EU NATO does not have CommonBudgetProcess like EU and no single EUMS not France nor Germany big enough to fund what is required to defend Europe including sea, air, cyber, space. Will we need 7 AircarftCarrierGroups to secure Europe, will be need Nuclear Strategic Deterrence as European NATO or contribute to USA shield in costs? Well open issues! But all costs and we have to pool more and we have to relief France from the costs it cannot carry leading to such high taxes that France is not competitive. For real #European France such obligations as only deployable land army in Europe, only nuclear aircraft carrier, only Nuclear deterrence in European continent is simple not sustainable. We need to relief France from such Imperial Obligation it cannot longer shoulder and put that to EU level, pool funds! In #EU37 As European NATO Members without UK and Turkey spend about 200 Billion $ meaning 3 times what Russia spends it is very questionable if we have 3 times the defence, threat, power projections level and the question for European taxpayers is why we spend so much for so little results for so many decades! With the targets of 2% well it means it might be 300 Billion by 2030 and with which results if we do not ensure common defence procurement? If we assume a Nuclear Aircraft carrier costs between 5 and 13 Billion $ well we should be able to build a lot over a decade with ten years resulting in about 2,5 Trillion $ spend in 2020ies by EU taxpayers. Really the results are miserable given the amount spent! #StrongEurope? If we are incapable to pool maybe better to end defence spending and simple pay an Alliance Defence fee to USA – for 250 billion $ yearly NATO membership fee even Trump will defend Europe 100% - sorry that was ironic – we simple have to do things better, more untied Next to pooling funding and EU level defence procurement is that all rules covering EU Internal Market must apply for defence and not anymore exception for strategic industries!! Next is state owned defence industry and here the quest for #EuropeanChampion, the need to EU wide concentration and debt reducing of Member States leads to same concept EIB #EIBdebtequityswap – unite all #StateDefenceIndustrialAssets into one #EIB held #EuropeanDefenceIndustryHolding and offer this to all NATO and EU37 allies and future members including Ukraine which has significant defence assets in state ownership. #EuropeanDefenceIndustryHolding including Ukrainian Defence Assets #DebtEquityEIBSwaps https://ukroboronprom.com.ua/en/ #FutureofUkrobopromAntonovMotorSich www.antonov.com/en #SwapEULoansUkrainianIndustrialStateownedAssetsHardtoPrivatize www.motorsich.com/ #MaximiseEuropeanIndustrialIntegration and such a #EuropeanDefenceIndustryHolding well managed by EIB will be a powerful leader in defence innovation and can than cooperate or partly merge with www.airbus.com/ #EuropeanDefenceIndustryHolding #EIB #EU37 So, by 2030 we could have a really very serious #EuropeanChampion – why not? #strongEU

#EER18 #EUEnlargement #MoralCaseEuropeanUnity #EU37 #MoralCaseforEuropeanUnity The 3rd wave of #EUEnlargement3Zero to unite Europe #CompleteEuropeanUnification is more complicated to win on both sides. The 9 Ex-Communist countries from Balkans, Albania, the core of Ex-Yugoslavia and the Western parts of Ex-Soviet Union and former Russian Empire are less developed due to Communism, the World Wars, Civil Wars & neglect & chaos of transition. And the EU28 itself is just recovering from the decade of consequent crisis from 08 to 16 from the Global Financial Crisis, Greece debt crisis, war in Ukraine, Syria & Migration, Brexit & Trump. #HostileRussia is back as powerful global actor fully opposing #EUEnlargement3Zero Well shall we give up? Some in South of Europe are anyhow not interested and see Eastern Europe mainly as competitor for northern European subsides and opportunities. Some in rich Western Europe regard Russia more exciting as source of flight capital called FDI or as energy provider and care little for fly-over country between Vienna and Moscow. But if we believe in Europe can we exclude some Europeans just because it is complicated, costly or because we are afraid of the task or of #Putin or simple for lack of knowledge or care and compassion? And makes postponing & delaying the issue of integration better? Will people stay? Will politicians work cleaner, better & faster? Will Putin be appeased if we block the Balkans and Ukraine for another decade and feed us cheap energy forever & take back what he perceives as his and Russian sphere of influence and people in Ukraine will accept their fate and be good pro-Russian Eastern Europeans again after everything post 2014? Your guess. If in doubt come to #Kyiv ask! Is there a #MoralCaseforEuropeanUnity for these 70 Million Europeans to live in security like we live, prosperous, within the European Human and Property Rights system, with clean air and clean water, with access to the European Labour Market not forcing their men as illegal construction workers and their women for other services into the grey European labour market as a result of a lack of alternative access? How fair is a Europe that invest Billions in #EUGreenDeal while the post-Soviet Industrial Centres along the Dnipro have a terrible Air pollution up to 6 times of EU? How fair and equal is an EU when we celebrate the equality Gini index compared to US and Russia and China as #EuropeanEconomicModel when available income in Ukraine is yearly 1800 Euro average and 24000 in Austria no less then 12 times more? Similarly, the GDP per capita differential between 15 to 20 times! So, morally why reject #EU37 #SecurityinEU37 #ProsperityinEU37 #HumanAndProperityRightsinEU37 #CleanEnvironmentEU37 #EqualityofEuropeansinEU37 #Euro34 #EAP13 #PanEuropeanLabourMarket #ProsperityDifferentialEU37toRFbetterthenWar #HostileRussia cannot decide who we allow into #EU & war is always a threat but #MAD #NATO is #1Tillion$DefenceAlliance #40TrillionGDPNATO War is #MAD & applies #ColdWar2ZeroLight we need to win by increasing #ProsperityDifferential #West #RF We need a new #EuropeanEconomicGrowthConsenus to outperform #HostileRussia http://cee-bc.org/en/storage/CEE%20BC%20Members%20Letter%2037-16.pdf #EER19 #NewEUTreaty2024 #FutureofEurope #FederalEurope #EU37 Why we need new Treaty?

The #Euro is backed by a 20Trillion GDP #EU , #Africa is at 2,2 Trillion $ and to build a Currency Union it would be good to have done steps of economic integration first! a FTA, than a Customs Union, then an Internal Market, than a Customs Union and then Fiscal and later political union and as the European case shows it has to be fast from Currency to Fiscal Union once crisis & imbalances hit & it helps to have one very strong economy as anchor So, Africa is just as FTA in 2020 & all #AU is GDP of France and where is German GDP to back #Eco or #Afro?

#Support for #successfulAfrica #ECBpegAfro #GlobalEurope for #AfricanUnion will cost #EuropeanTaxpayers support #SuccessfulAfrica #EUAUFTA but key #EU37 #NATO42 Part 6 -3 EU and China #EU and China #Chinabashingiswrong #EUChina #WhyWesternChinabashingisPutinStrategy https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/chinabashingiswrong-g%C3%BCnther-fehlinger/ Are we in #ColdWarTwoZerolight or not? If we are we need to make some strategic partnerships to contain and isolate #hostileRussia and not antagonise key candidates even it is #CommunistChina . No doubt China is Communist and revisionist #ProtectTaiwan and autocratic #FreedominHonKong and considers herself a #GobalPowerChina and in many ways it is. We have to secure our key #AlliesinAsia #NATOGlobalPartnership Japan and South Korea and ASEAN, sure. But China has not invaded anybody since Korean War and will not. It is much too fragile debt funded still a development country in many parts of its big country despite 13 Trillion GDP. And it has the right to be richer, even richer than us. Why not. The is no natural law of economics calling for the gravity of economic power being in the West. Even if China one day is the biggest economy of world it will be still a Western World order. Similar like in the #LostDecade of the #Tragic70ies when the West was weak after the #NixonShock71 we need to build a strategic partnership with #CommunistChina. That is not nice but necessary. So what needs to be done? Now after the #MacrongoestoChina moment signing the #QualityEU agreement the road is open for China and EU to conclude the CAI in 2020 and by that ensuring that China will the mature WTO member similar to the Western WTO members and no longer treat itself and the World as if China would be still where it was in 2001. After 2 decades of massive growth China is now ready for responsibility. China wants a bigger role in World Affairs and well fine this comes with responsibility and costs. It will lead to a much more open China and much less Communist China by time. And just because this openness has no materialised right now who says it will not be the result by 2050 or 2100. And patience with China is what we need to have as we have to focus on competing with HostileRussia who has parked her tanks in Ukraine and Georgia and is devastating #ExSyria and is funding massive Antiwesternism activities inside our political system and about everywhere. #YEStoEUChinaCAI2020 #ChinaNormalMatureWTOMember #CompetitorChinaPartneragainstHostileRussia The medium-term objective is the have a full FTA with China by 2030 as follow up on the CAI in 2020. #EUChinaFTA2030 China should be invited as well to OSCE same as #CentralAsia is already. China plays an important role in Central Asia and starts to invest in SEE and EAP and so take China in and let us work in mature and responsible manner together. #InviteChinatoOSCE We need to connect better with China by land – this matter as well for the connecting to our Allies Japan and South Korea and for everybody. Infrastructure is not discriminatory and energy and transport networks are open to all who pay the tolls so this is good for the World. But this has to be better organised and no China cannot do what it wants and no China bashing is not the answer but a serious effort to coordinate the EU and China infrastructure agenda but better and coordinated infrastructure planning in all the 18 Countries between EU and China possible including Turkey and Afghanistan later but right now focusing on the 18 countries of #triple6 #WB6 #Central Asia and #EAP6. #ConnectEUChinaAgenda #Replace16Plus1with18plus2 #EUChinaWBEAPCentralAsiaConnectivity China cannot do what it wants inside the EU. We have rules from procurement to labour to funding to planning and as well why shall the Chinese taxpayer – of a relatively poor Communist China still at 30% of EU GDP per average subsidies infrastructure in rich EU? 16 plus 1 is nonsense. 18 plus 2 is what is needed. EU and China supporting transport planning for all 18 countries in rational way and competing for projects with funding and implementation and there is enough to do and fund in WB and EAP and Central Asia for China and EU. And all EU members please leave this 1 plus 16 concepts. And we are as not funding project inside China to my best knowledge. If China has more funding available please not spend it in Croatia and Poland but let us build the bridge over the Caspian to bypass Hostile China and #HostileIran. #CaspianBridgeChinaEU https://reconnectingasia.csis.org/analysis/entries/case-trans-caspian-bridge/ https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/china/2019-10-28/united-states-should-fear-faltering-china?utm_source=twitter_posts&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=tw_daily_soc

#EUChina we need to involve #strongChina more in #WesternWorldOrder #Chinabashingiswrong #WhyWesternChinabashingisPutinStrategy #betterstrategyrequired https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/chinabashingiswrong-g%C3%BCnther-fehlinger/ After 1972, 1979, 1989, 2001 now in 2020 is time for time for making China new offer to break it away from #HostileRussia #WhyChinabashingiswrong #Trump bashing of #Xi only drives #China closer to #HostileRussia – as #China will be bigger economy than #USA by 2030 well maybe during 2030ies and possible on par with NATO by 2050? #turnChinaintoStakeholder So we need a responsible, mature, reasonable, rational #China so #EU give it more role to make it stakeholder of #WesternWorldOrder – we can do that while as well making sure we are on firm #MoralHighground and support #UNO HumanRights and while making sure we cointinue to remember the vicitims of #CommunistChina, defend #FreeTaiwan, support minority rights in Tibet and for Uighurs & all many minority and the agreed rights of Hong Kong & keep #SinoBritishDeclartion, honor victims of #4June1989TiananmenSquare but as well rembember the #colonialcrimes #Europeans did from #1839OpimumWar until 1949 - 110 years of war followed by Communist takeover – a tragic & failed European export to China. #China1point4BillionPopulation13point5TrillionGDP is big, but at #9770$GDPCap #China still far behind #West – just about World average, China was always very rich until 1800 top! So why should it under normal conditions of openness #postCommunistChina be as rich as #West? #China is still behind, using many wrong methods and is #CommunistState but there are no Chinese tanks anywhere outside China. Sure, we have to be attentive, work and keep standards high but funding infrastructure with soft loans is different than what #Russia is doing in #Ukraine, #Georgia and #Syria. Very different, indeed. While it is easy to bash Asian and the Yellow man – well it does not lift us on any #MoralHighground. And it is bad strategy and indeed wrong. And yes we shall never accept lower standards of human rights from Hong Kong to Uighurs in Camps to religious and political freedom, defend Taiwan and we will always! But Chinese tanks are only in China! And where is the danger that this will change? China is the global manufacturing powerhouse and fully interconnected in global financial world. What please is Chinas interest to bring this big house down, the house it is part itself? Whom to sell goods to in war? Whom to finance in War? Whose infrastutcure to build in War? Really, what China wants is not war not challenging the West by taking #West down but a seat on top table of Global Powers and as equal part in #WesternWorldOrder And it will be #WesternWorldOrder in which China wants to be fully part and not #ChinaWorldOrder – all this -our grandchildren will speak Chinese - is simple nonsnese. They will speak English. As well the Chinese grand children and everybody else. We live in AmericanWorldOrder past #WWII and postColdWar and will speak English and our World order organised in UNO, NATO, WTO, EU, OECD, OSCE, IMF, WB will last for long. But to invlove China more not only in UNSecCouncil is justfied and please invite China to #OSCE same like Cnetral Asia – it is not only to connect Cental Asia but to secure it and support all countries in between EU and EastAsia. OSCE HQ to move to Istanbul once #EUCandidateStatus of Turkey is ended. For China #West please offer OECD HQ move from Paris to Hong Kong. If Paris needs compensation please move UNFCC from Bonn to Paris. https://unfccc.int/about-us/about-the-secretariat and for Bonn the new #EUAgencyforSubsidarity compensation. Paris is anyhow the brand for the #ParisAgreement so better based in Paris #ExOECDBuilding #MoveOECDtoHongKong makes sense and helps #CommunistChina to be kinder to Hong Kong population and keep #SinoBritishAgreement and shows Asia & China is strong represneted in UNO, China as well strong pillar of GlobalEconomy. Well and China should join OECD & work to fulfill OECD regulation and standards – that would help for next level of economic development and China than a normal industrialised OECD country with rules and regualtion and mature WTO member and no longer a #developingcountry working with

dubious methods. It would be kind to leave BRICS and #EndBrics should be condition for all OECD members. If you want to gang up with #HostileRussia well good luck – no #OECDHQ than, never, ever – be sure100% #West can offer #UNReform anyhow required #China keep seat #UNO Security Council10 #OfferChinaUNOSeatHongKong #TurnHongKonginto5thSeatUNO why is no UN in Asia? Half Global popultion & that is it www.un.org/en/sections/where-we-work/asia-and-pacific/? It is possible to move agencies from Geneva and Vienna and from New York to Hong Kong and so reflect global reality as well by the location to adopt the world of 21st century by keeping the success of Post WWII and Post-Cold War WesternWorldOrder but adapt to new realities and turn China into a pillar of the #WesternWorldOrder and not hang out with #HostileRussia #Putin simple bad company to keep - with aggressive agenda for challenging #GlobalPeace #WorldOrder. #West.

Part 11 – 8 EU and Commonwealth #EUCommonwealth #EU #Commonwealth #EUCommonwealth #CommonwealthUNSecurityCouncilSeat2025 #EUandUNO how to adopt to #Brexit? How will be role of UK with EU, UNO #postBrexit? #Commonwealth #PostBrexit #UK #Can the UK with 66 Million justify & hold on to #UNOSecurityCouncilSeat on which basis? NuclearWeapons? PastGlory? GreatPower? #CompetentContributions #InhertitedPowerfromImperialBritianforever? #UNReform2025 Would it not make more sense to cede the UK seat in SecCouncil to Commonwealth SG? #UK2point7TrillionGDP66Million #Commonwealth12TrillionGDP2point4Billionpeople https://thecommonwealth.org/fastfacts Well is the #Commonwealth past of #ImperialBritain strong enough for a common political future, represented at #UNO with power, status? Well, some in English elite believe strongly in it. True, there is a case to be made, culture, language, history, communications, family links, migration patterns, 70 years history. Spread over all continents from Canada to New Zealand, part of Africa, Central America, all of #SouthAsia, 53 countries already in different #EconomicIntegration projects #AU #Asean etc Key is even future of #UK still open. #Brexit is 100% nonsense but maybe it will be reality? #What is the future of UK anyhow? #EnglishNationalism #BorisBrexitFundedbyPutin wins? #PostBrexit will #Scotland stay? Is there not much more support for Scottish Independence in EU is at all but once the case can be made it is the only way to stay in EU maybe support? A possible way in case #Brexit could be to secure a similar separation of the small 3 Celtic nations of UK #Scotland #NorthernIreland #Wales to form a new political entity and separate from UK in similar gradual manner like #Canada #Australia in various phases, stay in Commonwealth and stay under British Crown but be a separate State politically and turn these 3 small Celtic nations of the UK into a EU Member State possible called #Celtica with 10,5 Million people like Sweden and so stay very close to UK but inside NATO, EU and join Eurozone and so move to Irish levels of prosperity and avoid any troubles potentially looming with issue like Irish unification. #Celtica might choice Glasgow as capital and maybe the Isle of Man and Gibraltar might join this new EU Member State for whose citizens in terms of EU Citizenship and legal status would join little. #Celtica would have 5 Federal States Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, Isle of Man and Gibraltar and true it would be some changes in terms of setting up a new member State capital in Glasgow and to design a

new state structure and true a #Celtica Border Wales-England and Scotland England would be a challenge but it will be similar Northern Ireland & we have anyhow 2 years transition. In terms of trade there would be little divergence as #EU anyhow singing #FTA with everybody who is not hostile like Russia, Iran and we will sign up all #Commonwealth Most #Commonwealth members have already FTA with EU, 3 are EUMS Malta, Cyprus, UK and with all Commonwealth there are FTA negotiations ongoing and with good will By #EUFTA2024 all #FTA between #EU and #Commonwealth will be concluded & in force So, the #Brexit fantasy of regulatory divergence UK EU will be minimal and well some competition in better, smarter regulation, more competitive way, more transparency why not? So, whatever Brexit #EU and #Commonwealth to have stronger links support mutually great! And really why should the UK keep the #UNSecuirtyCouncilSeat no matter in EU or not? In EU there was some justification that 2 UN Seats for 510 Million Europeans is OK but non for India? Why that? Where is the logical to have one for China and none for India? Under this concept of #UNReform India would have a seat but Pakistan and Bangladesh not? But Pakistan and Bangladesh would be part of the #OIC political process and as well for their Commonwealth political system. But for this the Commonwealth needs to change and develop similar like #OAS and OIC into a better working political organisation with federal structure not all based in London but why not have a #CommonwealthParliament in Kolkata, A #CommonwealthCourt in Montréal, #CommonwealthCouncil in London, and a #CommonwealthCommission in Melbourne, well not with the same power of EC in Brussel but gradually getting there and ensuring #EnglishNationalists won’t rule the world again. For the Commonwealth to be more political relevant and representative, able to represent Commonwealth members at #UNOSecurityCouncil requires #ReformCommonwealth Part 12 -9 EU and HostileRussia #EU #HostileRussia how to contain #HostileRussia and prepare #FreeFederalRussia #HostileRussia #FreeFederalRussia #Russia #PostPutin2030 #CrimeaKosovoComparism #BizarreHistoricPerspectivesfromHostileRussia #FakeNews #TruthMatters #RussiaFederation is today has inherited the #UNSecurityCouncilSeat from #BigPowerSovietUnion #RealDangerousGlobalChallenger but #30YearsVictoryColdWar #Russia2020with1point6TrillionGDP146MillionPopulation far behind #USA #China #EU #Japan #Russia today 9th in terms of population and in GDP it is on 12th rank – if #EU minus UK counted EU27 instead of France, Germany, Italy –Russia would make it into top 10 as 10th.

But are we doing enough? And what can be done for better results in terms of more convergence? See https://bruegel.org/2019/06/a-european-atlas-of-economic-success-and-failure/ While the West East divide is getting smaller and new EU13 are catching up because of #EUInternalMarket and #RegionalCohesion well we have to do more and as well address the fundamentals why this is not showing so much effect in all EU and Accession #EU37 Most #EUMS and all Accession still much to centralistic! Most wealth is accumulated centre! See the shocking differential between #NorthEnglishRegion and London! See the difference between Prague and Bratislava already 30% points richer GNI capita than Vienna but rest of Slovak and Czech Republic much behind Austrian regions who have real power for economic development and responsibility for the well-being of their residents in their region. We need powerful regions, with regional Assemblies, regions Governors and reasonable budget and administrative power to develop and administer the region and a state owned POE responsible for #FDI promotion #SMEs development and #RegionalEconomicDevelopment and to release the positive power of regional competition with people, consumers, voters and investors comparing and measuring live quality, job opportunity and living conditions in all European regions based on #CompetitiveFederalism and #RegionalEmpowerment Sadly due to fragilities with issues from Scotland to Catalonia, Kosovo and Crimea and a confused mixed of prejudice, centralistic elites and #PutinPropaganda many are afraid of separatism and so best to keep all power in Madrid, London, Kyiv, Rome, Belgrade? Well for sure not! The more centralistic the less a #EUMS delivers for all and the more centrifugal forces! Optimal it powerful & responsible regional authority like the region Upper Austria and its SME Development Agency https://www.biz-up.at/en/ responsible for FDI promotion, finding commercial locations, SMEs support, innovation, SME clusters, cooperation with Universities and EU support and Austrian regional development activities. It is not directed from Vienna what is happening in Upper Austrian regional development agency and such an efficient, responsible and competition-based effort to promote regional development is required in all EU and EU accession. But the EU needs more involvement and authority. #EU need to power to start dialogue with #EUMS Government is the divergence inside #EUMS is above 130% or below 70% inside that Member State. A Mandatory Dialogue on regional development with a result of an Action Plan in power of EU Directive how to address the divergence and decentralise, empower, develop, build infrastructure, make more SME policy, develop regional political and economic institutions has to be developed and then agreed up in EP and EC and its implementation reported and well

within a 10 years framework we should get better results for all region. We are EU cannot leave any region behind. And if EUMS are not ready so let us understand, discuss, address help and bring in up on a European Action Plana and if the problem is too big then next step is #EUCoManagedRegion for regions whose challenges are too big and too strategic for the capacity of the Member States or similar long-term energies arises What about sovereignty? Well #Europeantaxpayer have a right to have good governance and regional cohesion in all EU if they are anyhow asked to support in case of crisis or have to face Brexit when the regions which the UK neglects blame the EU for this like North England or as we see now with #yellowvestes in France when neglect of regions explodes! Are NUTS and political and economic regions designed well for such a process. Optimal each member states no matter the size should have 4 to maximum 20 regions. 4 in case of Malta, Luxembourg and Montenegro and 20 for Italy, France and Germany. Some might have maybe only 100.000 residents well Ok and #Nordrhein-Westfalen with 17 maybe would be good to have #NordRhein and #Westfalen or Baden and Württemberg, Bayern and Franken but when it works well why change it! But when it does not work and some are above 130 and some below 70 of #EUMS average than it is a case for a mutually agreed action planned to be discussed and approved by EP, EC, Council and EUMSParliament. If it needs a #EUTreaty change well let us do it, but we cannot be one Europe without #strongEurope needs #strongerCohesion #fasterconvergence and we cannot redistribute so much via #EUBudget process as simple #EUMS have to perform better in #regionaldevelopment #Convergences and if they do not #EU and all #EUMS have to address this together to ensure no region is left behind. Each #EUMS has to budget target 1% GDP for #RegionalEconomicDevelopment and the effect and results benchmarked EU37 wide. #EU to set up new #EUAgency one of the new 6 for #RegionalDevelopment #SMESupportImplementation #SMEs #Umbrella for all #EUMS FDI, SME Agencies and for all #RDA of all #EU and Accession Regions, for Tourism and for promoting #EU37 as FDI globally with regional offices in all 9 regions of world – USA, OAS, AU, OIC, India, China, ASEANplus, Commonwealth after Brexit, #HostileRussia after end of Sanctions. Check #UNReforms for that concept. The core of this new agency will be the already existing https://ec.europa.eu/easme/ but it will receive coordination authority – not line authority nor appointment authority Cleary as we need to unleash competition between EUMS and regions for better results but coordination and assembly and benchmarking authority for all RDAs of all regions of EU37 and add tourism from DG growth and possible other sectors and add external EU investment promotion in the 9 other regions of world and turn that agency in new powerful hub of economic policy implementation, benchmarking results and project implementation for SMEs, FDI, Regional Development and Tourism Development. While the political process of benchmarking the political system and advocating subsidiarity and empowering regions and reducing separatism by improving federalism and subsidiarity and promoting and assisting decentralising needs a separate agency #AgencyforSubsidarity We need 6 new agencies as well one for #EuropeanCulturalHeritage as well a powerful factor for #RegionalDevelopment and Tourism but better in a separate Agency working closely with UNESCO and all stakeholders protecting cultural heritage a key asset for pollical narrative and economic development and European unity based on a shared common cultural heritage that united all Europeans. Great we have this UNESCO but we can do that as well as EU and it is key to make European proud and anyhow most is EU taxpayer funds. #Establish6NewEUAgencies clearly the 4 should work especially close together #EUAgencyforLandRegistersGeoInformation #EUAgencyforCulturalHeritage #EUAgencyTourismSMEsEntrepreneurshipRegionalDevelopment #EUAgencyforSubsidarity 2030 should see a United Europe #EU37 but as well a more cohesive, converged #EU37

Much richer, much closer to #North American prosperity levels & not only 3 times richer than #Hostile Russia but 4 better 5 times richer – increase #ProsperityDifferential key to win #ColdWar2Zerolight with #HostileRussia we are in since 2014 and will be for next decade!

SMES for European Municipal & Regional Development #SmartCityStrategyIndex #DigitalMunicipalities #BFCSEE #SMEsNeedBusinessFriendlyCertifiedMunicipalities #YestoBFCertificationforMunicipalitiesinEAP #EAPAdoptBIDConcept #RegionalDevelopmentStrategy RegionalCompetition #AustrianregionalDevelopmentModel Tourism Regional Development Montenegro #SMEforCompetition The Future of EU Enlargement and Partnership Policies: EU Actorness in South-Eastern Europe and the Eastern Neighbourhood – Abstract by Gunther Fehlinger, Secretary General CEE BC The ongoing reform of EU Enlargement and Eastern Partnership policy is central for the next level of prosperity, economic development, trade integration for the entire region, South East and East of the EU - Balkans, Eastern Europe & Central Asia. These issues are central for #PostBrexit #EU defining its role in World, discussing #GlobalEurope #FutureOfEurope. Enlargement and EAP are central to EU relations with Russia and Turkey and so effect NATO and EU-China relations. And please if we are not able to secure, stabilize and set this region on a secure prosperity trajectory, please what is our claim to fame? So, what needs to be done? First, the EU needs a holistic approach for the whole region for long term. The best framework to support development & cooperation is within our post-Cold War & post Balkan wars regional reform and cooperation infrastructure led by CEFTA and RCC and all the related regional sector reform to which all countries in region should be invited, contribute long term and the EU support & encourage such cooperation. The EAP itself should be enlarged to include Turkey and Central Asia and Mongolia #EAP13 with the perspective 2030 of a Customs Union with EU based on the EU Turkish 1995 role model. And both enlarged #RCC #EAP to offer a platform for regional cooperation and reform as close as possible as possible without Membership in EU and NATO for the foreseeable future. One additional key link to EU for all region should be the currency peg or better unilateral adoption of the Euro as currency based on the Bulgarian and Montenegro reform success. And adopt European SME Economic Model based on low, simple taxation, competition enforcement and competitiveness and opening and integrating with the EU Capital, Land and Transport, Goods and Service Markets and build a Pan European Labor Market open for all EU, CEFTA, EFTA and EU Customs Union partners by 2030. And the countries which want to join #NATO and EU fully? First, only #NATO members should join #EU as only #NATO has the reform capacity for the security and defense sector. But NATO members should as well join faster, meaning Montenegro, North Macedonia and Albania should join during this Mandate by 2023. The 6 remaining interested countries Serbia, Kosovo, Bosnia, Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia who all have seriously structural issues should join in next mandate by 2029 once they are Member of NATO & ready for the new Membership offer by EU required to integrate the challenged and challenging 9 new future EU members. As clearly only Montenegro is reasonable

ready for EU Membership & even Montenegro has issues to address so all should be invited to join but on a new #MembershipMinus basis. The EU should not impose #CVM after membership but #CVM style judicial supervision, similar to #EULEX should be agreed before, the Euro adopted before and specific appointment authority of central agencies should be co-managed by & with EP for the first decade of Membership and then phased out according to progress. Convergence outside EU and Euro is impossible economically in reasonable timeframe as EU is growing as well and the growth rate to catch up is almost impossible outside EU and Euro. Same is with political reform not delivering required results outside the context of a credible EU Membership perspective and inside EU with serious tools of #CoManagement, prior agreed, much faster progress is secured. So, for EU Membership leading the EU from 27 to 37 #EU37 (one place we shall always keep open for the UK in whatever constellation) who wants to be part of #EU37 please first join #NATO, adopt #Euro, accept CVM and concede #Appointment Authority and transform, reform, progress and accede much faster. At current speed of economic convergence and political reform we face many risks and possible decades of delay. Better to concentrate efforts for a decade of enlargement #EU37 In #CEEBCNL54/1/2020 the focus in on #Outlook2020 #EuropeanEconomicReform Is Western Demorcatic Capitalism is a crisis, decline, reaching the end? Some of the left, often feeling embolded by a wave of #Climate crisis related support now see their time come and proclaim the end of Capitalism, the West, America and Europe and possible even of Democracy and in the general context of foul mood almost one hears the end of the world might come, with #Climate emergency and extinction rebellion flaming the panic and Trumpian nonsense rethoric and Russian and Iranian revisionism and Chinas stellar rise leading some AntiCapitalist fundamentalist to see their come is some and in classical Marxist crisis world view they are just waiting for the things to get worse to than start their revolution and instead of optimism at start of decade the mood seems gloomy in some segements of public opinion. But how are the facts? Is Capitalism or Democracy really in decline? And what are the priorities for the 2020 as a decade of reform, adaption and progress ahead. Let us analyse the real facts and fugures and start the deacde in with optimism. We have now 30 years of victory in cold war 1989 was the start, 1991 the end of the Soviet Union as systematic alternative of Western Democratic Capitalism. GlobalGDP was 25 Trillion GDP and we are now at 85 Trillion Global GDP. That is 330% more in just 30 years! It is the best performance ever in human history. Until 1990 it is about a one Billion people participating in the global economy with most of the world under socialist coercion, jailed behind walls, excluded from the global economy, exploited by their elites and hindered to perform as they could and certainly would have is not force to sit on sidelines. So now we are are close to 8 Billion global popultion most of them participate in the global production or goods and services with some sad place self excluding like North Korea and some where chaos rules for reason from war Syria to political chaos often in countries that never worked like Sudan and Somalia. For Global GDP please see https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.CD

https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.CD For global poverty 2020 please see https://worldpoverty.io/

https://worldpoverty.io/ So, it is 600.000 Million living in extreme poverty. But let is see how many people we lost in armed conflict in 2019 – first time it is less than 100.000 death by armed conflict!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ongoing_armed_conflicts#/media/File:Ongoing_conflicts_around_the_world.svg

https://www.focus-economics.com/blog/the-poorest-countries-in-the-world

https://www.statista.com/statistics/510952/number-of-deaths-from-natural-disasters-globally/ In 2018, there were some 10,300 fatalities reported caused by natural disaster events worldwide. The earthquake and resulting tsunami in Indonesia was the most deadly catastrophe in 2018 with 2,256 reported deaths. Hydrological events, such as floods, have affected the largest number of people in the last decade. This year is ranked among the ten most expensive disaster years. In the previous year, global economic losses from natural disasters totaled 66 billion U.S. dollars. So, we have about 10.000 deaths from natural disaster and about 10 times this number of armed conflict and war related death of 90.000 in 2019. And we have 600 Million in extreme poverty. But we have as well the tragic reality of modern slavery estimated at 40,3 Million victims in 2018.

https://www.globalslaveryindex.org/2018/findings/highlights/

And let us add the sad reality of unemployment in OECD countries

But with 85 Trillion GDP in 2019 can we really say that Capitalism is not working? After #GlobalGDP jumped from 25 to 85 in just 30 years? But 85 Trillion help one little to nothing if you are part of the 10.000 who died from natural disaster, 90.000 who died from war or conflicts or you are part of the 600 Million so poor and excluded or you are part of the 40 Million captives in modern slavery. True, all needs to be addressed systematically and btw this is happening. But more than 7 Billion people produce this 85 Trillion in 2018 that is about 12.000 $ GDP per capita! That is the level of Romania, Russia and China today. And the problem is not the famous inequality, please! Nobody lives better because Bill Gates has less billions net wealth. We have to ensure the Global GDP growth increases and we have another 30 years like we just had! Why not 250 Trillion GDP in 2050 – 30 years from now! Or better 300 Billion! Why not. But we certainly won’t reach this with any fantasy new economic model but with more of the same, but with more focus to ensure more inclusive and open labour markets in Western World and more open markets for the World within and improved WTO system and with addressing the 4 major issues and ensure less people live in extreme poverty, less people die in natural disaster and armed conflict and more people can escape modern slavery. And the task is not to invent a new economic model, nor is slavery, war, poverty related to climate or CO2 and even natural disaster are not caused by CO2 levels. True, some things are always related to some others and there are even some claiming the Syrian civil war on climate related effects – that might be somehow connected but more on the level that everything is always connected with everything as we live on the same planet and if we argue in so distant causal connections than we diffuse concrete responsibility and connecting between action and result! Please with the exception of natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanos, extreme weather situations all issues are connected to political causes and improving them is political and even the response to natural disaster depends on the political and institutional framework and the level of preparedness and responsiveness and capabilities. So, what we really need to focus in better global political institutions. The role model here always being the reform of Post-Communist Eastern

Europe is the most relevant for the world to see as this was the area occupied by Soviet Communism and is now a major success story. And stable framework within NATO and EU and the Western Global framework was available and work so well. Socialism dominate for half a century and Socialism was overcome here and the institutional framework was there and worked so well. So, next to reform of the UNO, enlargement and reform of WTO and OECD, ending OPEC and BRICS we need to support regional integration and stability frameworks in all continents. Why? We need regional frameworks for benchmarking, role model and peer pressure additional to UNO standards to ensure more ration, reasonable and responsible governance in Africa, Asia and Americas. All the 4 major issues, deaths from natural disaster and war, modern slavery and extreme poverty are happening in countries in Asia, Africa or the Americas where good governance either never happened or has broken down and it cannot be imposed from outside or from New York, Washington or Brussels so easily. More regional responsibility and ownership is required to address such instabilities. That is way a bigger EU style role for OAS, AU, ASEAN and to some extent the OIC and Commonwealth is required next to USA, China, India, EU37 and hopefully a more peaceful Russia one day. And all these 10 regions and unions as well to have a central role in a reformed UNO and a major role to ensure reduction of extreme poverty, slavery and death from war and natural disaster. But please just to reduce CO2 – as noble a goal that might be – and an expensive one – won’t reduce slavery nor poverty nor war and it remains to be seen if we have fewer natural disasters and it will do very little to prepare effected regions better and ensure a more responsive institutional framework able to help where and when it is needed and plan better for such eventuality. And by the way having more GDP improves at least the ability for reconstruction. So again, we need to keep the machine running, this wonderful economic system called Democratic Capitalism but we have to improve the regional and global institutional framework governing our states, regions and adopt and reform and open and update the UNO and enlarge WTO, OECD, EU and NATO and develop stronger roles for OAU, OIC, AU and ASEAN. We need better working states in Africa, Asia and Americas more capable for security and good Governance and this cannot be imposed by the West. It has to happen regional by comparing successful African nations in the framework of AU and making sure there is transparency and competition and voters and investors understand that and AU has mechanism to advice, assist and contribute and possible current where there is no security and good governance. We need to increase regional responsibility, expertise, interest and resources, capabilities and legitimacy. This is the way to systematically reduce, best even to eradicate but realistically to reduce extreme poverty, slavery, reduce impact of natural disasters and increase political stability and regional security, the fundamental of prosperity. We always have to remind ourselves, the amazing prosperity progress of the Western World from 1949 to 1989 which made the victory against the Soviet and Socialist camp possible and as well the amazing progress of the last 30 years was and is and will be based on the security provided by the great Alliance NATO, and the Western World Order now called #Multilateralism a word somehow mixed up with #Russian concept of #Multipolar the idea of a Russian and Chinese Brics authoritarian alternate vision of the World. No, Multilateralism is a term for the current world system, the 85 trillion 8 Billion worlds based on #UNO #WTO #NATO #OECD #EU #OSCE #COE #EAP and like all working and successful institutions it needs a bit of reform, refreshment every second decade or so as the situation and challenges change. This matters to show responsiveness and ensure inclusiveness. We in West must be more open for migration, no doubt, & contribute more to regional institution mechanism and open our market more and we will. And the emerging world needs to

contribute to the existing world order more, be better integrated but as well take good governance more seriously, include all segments of their populations in their societies and economies and adopt a more open economic model. Low taxation, competition policy enforcement, transparency & good governance, rule of law and property rights are not an imposition of western values – even when they are surly based on our values – but they benefit all citizens in all countries and there is no way to justify some kind of political or ethnic oligarchy and say to the world well that is just the way we do business and please get lost. I mean you can say that but we have neither to accept that nor anybody else and nobody shall call that cool and Russia or Asian or African values. Theft is theft, oligarchic kleptocracy is exactly this and crony capitalism is not cool nor is there a justifiable cultural argument to be made for excluding any group on religious or ethical reasons, or any other reason. Simple provide good governance, open, transparent, accountable, treat all citizens as such, equal right holders and protect these rights. And enforce these rights. And by 2030 we can half extreme poverty, half slavery, reduce the death by war below 50.000 and by natural disaster below 5.000 or less. And there are major efforts by all sides and major success since 1990 victory moment. Just Russian revanchist, civil war in Syria, socialist experiment in Venezuela are major setbacks and public policy failure which need to be addressed, simple by much better European and Western foreign policy, helping faster and more effective and avoiding such fall backs from the earliest moments. Here actually our current Climate debate can and will have a very good impact – if designed well and with the progress of modern technology we can significantly reduce energy imports from Russia and so reduce Russian capacity to mess up the world from Ukraine to Syria which is very expensive for them and mainly paid by European energy consumers and this will be massively reduced once we are have achieved Climate neutrality hopefully resulting in European Energy Independence. Hopefully. If climate reform in Europe results in more Russian energy import well that would be terrible. But as well on this we can be optimistic. And now for Capitalism and the economic system. Alone since the big crisis of 2008 we are up to 25 Trillion in a decade. Well it is quite a success. And please India is now reforming and will be biggest country in term of population and why not reach Chinese level of prosperity in India? That would add trillions to Global GDP. And is that all harmful for consumers and citizens in the West? North Americans and Europeans including Mexico and Turkey produce half of Global GDP. And we Europeans are on average 3 times richer than global GDP average and citizens of USA are on average 6 richer than global average. And inequality. Please taking from the rich and policy of envy – feeling better as successful people are more limited in their productivity does not lead to success. There is so much opportunity in USA and EU we just have to be more united, more open to each other and improve the mechanisms of our market economies to deliver growth and matching the production factors better, improving property rights and rewarding risk and entrepreneurship better and all in working and well-regulated legal framework like the EU and US. So, let us conclude, we are doing very well. We will continue to do very well. But we have to fine tune our institutions to include more and more of the world population into global exchange or good and service, we have to ensure good governance as well the more fragile parts of the world to further reduce extreme poverty and best by including more if not all countries in WTO and more and more in OECD and promote regional political integration and ensure working states with capability to enforce the rule of law are more and more able to enforce their laws as human and property rights, personal freedom and the ability to succeed or to be supported is developed in a growing economy. How to achieve faster growth? Competitive tax systems, openness to people, idea and capital and more FTAs. And no, we need less redistribution inside the EUMS and more on EU and global level.

We very much need #GlobalEurope Europe has a unique and very positive contribution to make to the world – after a lot of very negative ones – and that is the history and success of EU Enlargement and more of it is needed to include all Europeans who want to join. Anyhow, there is no reason for gloom. On the contrary there is all reason for reasonable optimism for the coming decade just there is a lot to do to include more countries in UNO, WTO, OECD, OSCE, EU, NATO, EAP, RCC and we have to adopt to next decade and it will be very successful decade and gradually we can include more and more countries in the secure, developed world of successful countries based on democratic capitalism. And the resulting prosperity and our working and responsive institutions will allow us to successfully address the open issues from slavery to responsiveness and preparedness for natural disasters to extreme poverty to war. These should be our priorities for the coming decade and the public shall measure their elites by these concrete parameters. We can and should be better and we need to reform and adopt our institutions absolutely but there is nothing wrong with Democracy and nothing wrong with Capitalism and in reality, it is one system Democratic Capitalism and it is delivering unprecedent prosperity and freedom for unprecedent many. Sadly, not all, true, we have to make sure more and more can be part of our amazing system so as well there can live, work, consume, invest, inspire and undertake freely within the context of working political institutions securing their personal freedom and their result of their investment and activities. And all this to a reasonable price in form of reasonable taxation to ensure there is consent and competitive behind such tax levels justified by the results in prosperity only possible within such working institutions.
