The second panel was made up of four members of the Bundestag<\/em>, Thomas Hacker, Anton Hofreiter, Tilmann Kuban, and Christian Petry, and the Ukrainian Ambas\u00adsador Oleksii Makeiev. They discussed the EU accession of Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova. In December 2023, the EU Member States will decide what steps these three countries must take in order to join the EU.<\/h3>\n

\u201cUkraine has made signif\u00adicant progress in imple\u00admenting EU reforms despite the war\u201d (Oleksii Makeiev)<\/h2>\n

Despite the war, Ukraine has made signif\u00adicant progress in imple\u00admenting EU reforms noted Ambas\u00adsador Makeiev. There is a great expec\u00adtation among the population that the EU accession negoti\u00ada\u00adtions will take place this year. This would fulfil the European dream of the Ukrainian people.<\/p>\n

The Chair of the EU committee of the Bundestag, Anton Hofreiter (B\u00fcndnis 90\/\u200bDie Gr\u00fcnen<\/em>) said that the democ\u00adratic centre of the German parliament was united with regard to EU enlargement. By admitting the Western Balkan countries, Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia, the European single market would become larger. In view of the growing number of dicta\u00adtor\u00adships, we have an intrinsic interest in Europe becoming bigger and stronger.<\/p>\n

\u201cReform and enlargement of the EU should take place in parallel\u201d  (Tilmann Kuban)<\/h2>\n

The EU itself should do its homework just as much as the accession countries, stressed CDU politician Tilmann Kuban. Reform and enlargement should take place in parallel. Thomas Hacker, spokesman for the FDP parlia\u00admentary group, expressed confi\u00addence in the speedy opening of accession negoti\u00ada\u00adtions with Ukraine and Moldova, but was less optimistic about Georgia.<\/p>\n

Christian Petry, European policy spokesperson of the SPD parlia\u00admentary group, stressed that the EU enlargement strategy should be less reserved than it had been in the past. The EU had produced too much disap\u00adpointment in these countries; there had to be tangible perspec\u00adtives. An EU of different speeds was feasible, Petry said. .<\/p>\n

Finally, Hofreiter stressed the necessity of military support for Ukraine, because full EU membership also depended on the end of the war, he said, and Ukraine had to win.[\/vc_column_text]<\/p>
