The President of the EU-Commission Jean-Claude Juncker held before the European Parliament his annual report about the situation in the Union, where he defined the priorities of the Commission in the next year and he also presented his vision about the Union’s future.
Among other things the priorities should be the reinforcement of the trading programme, the growth of the competitive industry, which should be the leading on the fields of innovation , digitalisation and at changes of the climatic conditions. Here Juncker stressed the implementation of the Paris Climate Agreement.
As per his opinion further priorities in the plan for the next year are on the field of cybernatic protection, where he suggests the establishment of an European internet safety agency, and on the field of migration. According to his words the inflow of migrants and the drownings in the Mediteraneum Sea could have already been stopped. In future the aim should be to introduce legal ways of migration to the Unity . At the same time it is necessary to work out the system of returning the migrants and improve the living standard in the exile camps.
In further course the President introduced the scenario of the future Union, which should be based on the three principles of freedom, equality and the rule of the law. The Union should get stronger on several levels, on the field of social politics, the politics of its expansion and the inner market. So it is necessary to present the countries of the West Balkan the possibilities of the joining perspectives. However in the coming year Juncker sees no possibilities for Turkey to join the EU.
