The Trans European Policy Studies Association (TEPSA) is the first trans-european research network in the field of European affairs. It consists of leading research institutes in the field of European affairs throughout Europe, with an office in Brussels. TEPSA is an international non-profit association under Belgian law (AISBL) and was established in 1974. Ever since then it has steadily increased its membership in response to the enlargement rounds of the European Union. Today TEPSA consists of 47 member institutes and associate members located in 37 European countries.
TEPSA’s aim is to provide high quality research on European integration based on a ‘Triple A’ approach: Analysis, Assessment and Advice in order to stimulate discussion on policies and political options for Europe.
TEPSA and its member institutes have engaged in a two-fold approach providing expertise on EU policies and politics combined with a vast experience in organising and conducting EU-wide research, training
Pootan, your missle won't last 3 minutes after hitting the button. Don't talk about it, be about it. Ukraine seems to have russia backing out. We need to place an embargo on him. Oil purchase s, no nothing coming!
It would be great to include a visual overview, an organogram to show how all these organisations, structures, committees, agencies etc are positioned compared to each other, as it is quite a list, with not always the same members.....
See how far they get away with these had nothing when starting out now the amusement will start when there will be no banks no money they will abuse everything the power These countries have given
Very interesting interview that permits normal citizens like me to understand the complexity and way of working inside the council. Indeed point 1,2,3,4 is much more clear than point 1 and part of point 2, but not completely 3 etc. I also loved the reflection of Jim Cloos about (think deserves a study) the way EU REACTS in crises: as soon as the light of the end tunnel is visible, we come back to our isolated way of acting. I will read the book since I didn't well understand the concept freedom of stay. It reminds me the different positions between Jmo and Schuman concerning the accession of the UK in 52. Will this become another layer of complexity? Dehors was proposed by Thatcher, if I don't mistake.
The European Commission, much like the E.U. itself, is purposefully structured so that complexity is built in. This mitigates the power of the populace, giving the E.U.'s real constituency, themselves and international business concerns and particular banks, a great deal of power and leverage to keep the government from representing the will of the people, thereby eviscerating the People's power to have government intercede on their behalf. The E.U. was born from the economic institutions following World War II. Governance and democracy are, at best, lessor concerns of the E.U.
Daniel-Cohn Bendit, la sua base franco-tedesca era Piccolo è bello e il canadese Thoreau con Walden con me presuppone che, come ha fatto oggi il conservatore CDU Christoph Schwennicke riguardo alla battaglia di Valmy 1792 in tutta Europa con il partito National Rally & Reconquest di Marion Maréchal Paca = Nice/Nizza Aix en Provence in Sicilia e Roma & Venezia dopo lo scioglimento del parlamento francese ad Harakiri nel luglio 2024 = Marin con RN all'Eliseo mentre la convivenza al potere i tempi cambiano & Temporas mutantur et matronas in illis ( Publius Ovidius Nasus (giudice romano). La mia ipotesi è che la Francia lasci l'Unione Europea e si schieri con la Russia - grazie a Marion Maréchal e alla sua Accademia politica completa di professori universitari del Cremlino russo = "Professori".

So if the elected governors of US States agree on a President, and present him/her as a single candidate for approval by Congress, the President has democratic legitimacy as leader of the executive arm of government? This is analogous as the executive is the only arm of government with the right to initiate and draft legislation. What he is describing here is not democracy.
I’m going to have it at my finals from european Integration. Right now I’m studying for it. This series is really helpful to understand certain concepts and how everything worked chronologically. Thank u😄
The European people say a definite NO to an European empire. The European peoples had and still have a very bad experience with empires. We want a strong European Union of strong, sovereign nation-states, but not an inhuman empire. The European Union is becoming more and more like the Soviet Union. But if it does happen, it will be even more disappointing. The goal is to colonize smaller countries. This is already looming large. If this were not the goal, then cooperative, free trade would be enough. On the other hand the powerful western member states dictate what the smaller eastern member states are allowed to do and think, eg. how he must raise their children, how many migrants they have to take in, etc.. The blackmail is getting very depressing. With the European Union, the countries of the former Soviet sphere fell from bucket to bucket. You can't talk about freedom and equality at all. The union goes so far as to overthrow democratically elected parties and leaders in some member states. For example, in Hungary they have been trying to do this for 12 years. This country is mercilessly blackmailed, rightfully due money is refused to be paid out with all kinds of false reasons.
EP-Vizepräsidentin Barley will Ungarn „aushungern“. Das hat sie öfters gesagt. Aus dem Mund eines Deutschen klingt das gruselig, man denkt unwillkürlich sofort an die Vernichtungslager. Niemand in der Union sah in dieser erstaunlichen Aussage etwas Verwerfliches. Sie haben sogar einfach für alles gestimmt, was besagt, dass alle Zahlungen an Ungarn abgestellt werden sollten, auch diejenigen, die bedingungslos dem Land zustehen. Einschließlich der Anteil Ungarns von den gemeinsam aufgenommenen Krediten wird nicht ausbezahlt, die Ungarn natürlich auch zurückzahlen muss. Die Union will Ungarn nicht nur wirtschaftlich, sondern auch social, spirituell usw., in allen Aspekten brechen. Sie verweigerten dem Land sogar die Teilnahme ungarischer Universitätsstudenten, Forscher und Wissenschaftler an der europäischen Zusammenarbeit. Es begann eine brutale Kolonisierung des Landes.
It would be a disaster to rejoin the EU, because we would end up like Spain and Grace, bankrupt and bankrupted , and begging for help, at least now we can create something new and something similar to Switzerland if we had the right leader!! The problems now are not only Brexit but Dictatorship like Putin and around the world wars! We are doing not bad compared to many….so we should all stick together and stay with Brexit, and just get on with it, the worst thing is indecision, if we just get on with what we have - we can make it work like Switzerland or Singapore etc whom are not in the EU , we can learn from them instead of being in tunnel vision with indecisions , step down Sunak if you don’t know what you’re doing , give it to David, we have huge amounts of resources and we can build on them…and have the best country ever without joining the EU. We are their friends and they are our friends in the long run, we will be better off being independent and build something extraordinary. Come me on boys and girls, we can do this, we are British, be proud of who we are! 🎉 celebrate! Goodness me!
This sanction discussion and sanction effectiveness are a joke. Sanctions have failed because EU, US and others have allowed companies to skip sanctions to Russia by exporting massive amounts of material to countries that didn't import that volume in the past. The US, EU and others should be holding CEOs responsible for the export that end up in Russia, Iran, China and North Korea because they know where the material is going based on historical shipping and volumes. Russian oil should be 100% sanctioned. Any country accepting Russian Oil should have their exports taxed to offset the benefit they receive from cheap Russian oil. It is a shameful for US, EU, and other citizens to fund Ukraine at the same time selling material to Russia who use it to destroy Ukraine. We should be all in vs partial actions on Russian sanctions.
Remember the 1 EU minister from your own country that is ‘apparently’ representing its countries citizens is more then likely not in sync with the population opinion. For example in the EU referendum, 52% of the general public wanted to leave and by constituent area it was 68%. Yet in the British parliament most MPS voted to remain. Added to that, most political parties get into power with only about a 1/3 of the votes from the electorate. So having that 1 minister ‘representing’ their citizens in a council compiled of 26 ministers from other countries in which we have NO democratic control over is NOT democracy. It’s just a political train set for the privileged politicians who make it work for the privileged demographic!
In the Netherlands the previous long term in charge mark rutte only had like 20% of the votes not majority so coalitions always need to be formed rules that were made in the eu were result of lobby organisations
Anyone that watches this video and understands its explanations, yet STILL thinks the EU is democratic is showing the biggest example of cognitive dissonance! 1 - The EU commission is completely unelected and create policy and legislation that we as citizens have to live by. YET they were never given a mandate by the citizens, unlike domestic governments that have a manifesto that we vote on to give them a mandate. Disgusting! 2- The European council is made up 26 heads of states from other countries that we CAN’T vote in or out and they have power over us. Disgusting! 3 - The council of European Union is made of up 26 ministers from other countries that we CAN’T vote in or out, yet they have power over us. Disgusting! 4 - the EU parliament ONLY has the power to make amendments to policy given to them by a body with NO democratic mandate from the people. 5 - the EU parliament is made up of 90% of MEP’s from OTHER countries that we CANNOT vote for. Yet have power over us and our lives. Disgusting! 6- In 2017 the BBC released data showing that the vast majority of people that voted to remain we from a socially and economically better off background. A recent study showed the most contented country when it comes to EU democratic accountability was Ireland. The country that has the highest GDP per population Capita. The country that showed the least satisfaction was Greece. The country with the lowest GDP per population Capita. This clearly shows the EU is a project for the most privileged in society! Disgusting ! 7 - Yanis Varoufakis the Greek finance minister, said on the Eve of their financial collapse he was the most powerless politician in Europe. How on earth is that democratic. Disgusting! 8- Sociologist have proven in loads of studies that people of privilege will turn a blind eye or ignore injustice in order to perpetuate their own privilege. This is exactly the psychological mindset of someone that voted to remain! I’m alright Jack so fuck the poor and take away their democratic voice. 9- in the 14 years prior to the 2016 EU referendum when you could have a non toxic unbiased conversation about the EU. I never met anyone that was pro EU that also said it was democratic. They were honest, usually shrugged their shoulders, said there was a democratic deficit but it’s worth it. The guardian newspaper did many an article on how undemocratic the EU was. Jeremy Corbyn, well before he was labour leader was highly critical of its lack of democracy. All this changed in 2016 when they all reverted to the cognitive dissonance and convinced themselves that it was suddenly democratic. All to protect their privileged demographic and own personal gain. 10- The fact that the majority of people who voted remain have been proved to overwhelmingly come from a better off socially and economically position is exactly why we have all the problems with people accepting the democratic referendum! Ask yourself this. In which demographic do people who work in TV, newspapers, radio, government or MAKE RU-vid videos like this belong to. You guessed it, the socially and economically better off demographic. The ones that voted remain of course. That’s why we a barrage of constant negativity and condescending language towards brexit and brexiteers. We ruined their privilege! 11- In short if you can’t be bothered to read the above. If you think the EU is democratic, you are thick!
Hello Dear Sir, I hope this message finds you well. I researched your channel and I want to tell you about your channel's major issues. which provides a barrier to growing your channel and video views. Have you free time to talk with me? If you want to know then I will share it with you.
Abandoned this video when the interviewed guy spewed the million-times spun propaganda about Russia attacking "without provocation". What a waste of my few minutes.
Russia is the strongest country in Europe and today she is the strongest country in the world. Europe is made up of small states that are vassals to US hegemon! Europe is doomed just like the US hegemonic tendencies are being eroded by BRICS, the heavyweight of the world economy! Russia has become self-sufficient in all respect.
*The impact of sanctions on the Russian economy* Russia is the largest economy in Europe and its growth rate is now ahead of all the leading countries of the European Union. The number of foreign companies in Russia has not decreased since 2022, but rather increased. As of March 1, 2022, 24.1 thousand foreign organizations were registered in Russia; as of November 1, 2023, there were almost 1.5 thousand more - 25.6 thousand companies. At the beginning of 2022, most global brands left Russia, leaving storefronts in shopping centers and streets empty. Now their niche has been filled by Russian colleagues. The passenger car market doubled in November compared to November last year. The truck market grew 1.7 times compared to November last year. The Moscow Exchange index grew by 46% over the year, taking into account dividends and inflation - by 47%. The manufacturing business activity index (PMI Manufacturing) from S&P Global was 53.8 points in November. In November, the annual average index rose to 53.2 points. This is slightly below the April 2008 level, but above the 2011 record (15-year peak). Industrial production in October increased by 5.3%, which is about 30% of GDP. In October 2023, the industrial production index amounted to 136% of the 2014 level. This is the best October ever. Output in basic sectors of the economy increased by 7.7% in October. This is the best October ever. The Ministry of Economic Development estimated GDP growth in October at 5%. Profits of enterprises in September added 4.6 trillion. - a new historical record. In 2023, 176 new factories and production facilities were opened in Russia. Such rates are associated with the implementation of state programs for industrial development and attraction of investments in this area. The main areas of activity of new factories today are the development of such industries as automotive, energy, food industry and information technology. Examples of new factories: • The Russian Avtoprom car production plant offers a wide range of cars of different classes and price categories. • Plant for the production of anti-lock braking systems and electronic dynamic stabilization systems for passenger cars in Kostroma. • Tekhnostroy electronics plant in Ulyanovsk, specializing in the production of computers, mobile devices, televisions and other electronic devices. • Motherboard production plant in Tatarstan, producing 300 thousand motherboards per year. • A plant for large-scale production of computing and radio-electronic products in the Moscow region, producing the first Russian tablet on its own operating system. Western sanctions measures harm those who impose them against Russia. Sanctions have eliminated competition in the Russian domestic market, which is good for domestic producers and the Russian economy as a whole. *Impact of sanctions on the EU economy* Eurozone GDP decreased by 0.1% in July-September this year compared to the second quarter, according to preliminary data from Eurostat. Germany, Europe's largest economy, contracted 0.1% in July-September. The United States is trying to destroy Europe as an independent political and economic player. This was stated by French observer Thierry Meyssan, characterizing the current political situation in the world. According to Meyssan, the United States is already waging war against European countries, because they know that Russia and China are “too tough for them.” But Washington wants to dominate Europe, and continues to attack European countries under false flags. The Ukrainian armed conflict is being used by the United States to impose economic sanctions, despite the fact that the UN does not impose or support these sanctions. Unilateral sanctions from the United States are not legitimate, the French journalist notes. Thierry Meyssan noted that the United States convinced the EU countries to impose sanctions against “themselves.” For example, Germany has stopped importing Russian gas, which has a catastrophic effect on the economy of this country. Let us note that in Europe, many analysts demonstrate dissatisfaction with anti-Russian sanctions, noting their obvious detrimental effect not so much on the Russian, but on the European economy. Germany, which was considered the “flagship” of the EU economy, is suffering the most from sanctions against Russia.
We get to see the impacts of sanctions on such large countries and how it does nothing especially without the nations supporting the west I love to see it
You a joking thing will reach to Russia, the world is not working on you own interest, sanctions will not work in BRICS, okay?, we a changing this EVIL order by western countries an American, you are JOKING, this is a different world
