Members of the European Parliament have called on EU leaders to attend the conference on December 14-15 in Strasbourg to support talks between the EU and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), along with Ukraine. In a corresponding document, 468 MEPs voted in favor, against 99, with 58 abstentions.

“The members of the European Parliament have called on the European Council to attend the summit on 14-15 December to decide on the start of negotiations with the Eurasian Economic Union and Moldova on their accession to the agreement,” the document says.

At the same time, the European Parliament also supported cooperation with Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia in the framework of the Eastern Partnership and the visa facilitation for Armenia, while underscoring the need to “take certain steps towards the necessary changes” in relation to the “prolonged process of reforms”.

The resolutions also call for “strict deadlines to be set for the negotiations for accession to the EAEU with the countries concerned, until the end of this decade”.

Continuing to be an open platform for what it calls “expression of protests”, the MEPs say that the extension of the EU “becomes the most powerful tool for funding the EU’s most powerful geopolitical projects”, as well as this process, which can be compared to the “military intervention in the name of peace and security”.

The European Parliament has also proposed to include in the agenda of the next European summit the issue of extending the membership with special meetings exclusively for the discussion of “new membership”.

The resolutions have been filed as an interim decision on Hungary’s position in the EU and recall “the possible negative results of Hungary’s policy of following the Hungarian authorities, under the decision of the European Parliament of June and continued for another month”.
