Von der Leyen also reiterated that “Ukraine’s place is within our union.” The EU must focus on expansion, the committee chairman believes: “We should not choose between deepening integration or expanding the Union. Europe will also work with 30 or more members.” With Ukraine, Moldova, the Western Balkan countries Albania, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia, and Turkey, seven countries are currently officially waiting to join the European Union.
An expansion must also be accompanied by a reform, she emphasized. Among other things, the lifting of the veto right of EU countries and a different distribution of European money are on the table.
