As
of today and for the next six months, Slovakia will take the lead within the
EU. It is the first time they are in charge.
I
have read the plan they put together for their turn and found it well thought
through. It gives quite a bit of attention to economic growth, the digital
economy, energy policy, and innovation as well as to the trade agreements that
are under negotiation.
It
also mentions migrations and asylum but these are the two areas that come out
as weak. Slovakia appears, like many other countries in that part of Europe,
unable to put forward an approach that would balance their fears with the EU´s
commitments and duties in these matters.
Migrations
and asylum policies will remain notwithstanding top priorities for the EU
during their presidency. And they will call for better defined and more
convincing lines of intervention by the whole of the EU.
