oped with @LaurenceBoone : Imagine the US/UK buying landing boats for Normandy landing in 1944 under today’s procedures? Imagine using today procedures for helping De Gaulle army? Europe needs to dramatically cut red tape to help Ukraine and itself faster.

‘The EU’s regulations undermine its capacity to mitigate the war’s effects on Europe itself, weaken its ability to protect itself from a broad range of hybrid attacks, & prolong 🇷🇺’s military aggression against 🇺🇦’, write @LaurenceBoone and @nicupopescu .

The EU needs a budget for peace, one that facilitates the Union's enlargement — that was my message at the Annual EU Budget Conference. Investing in peace through the EU budget is ultimately an investment in the prosperity of all European nations.
