AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoEU Enlargement: Albania is set to close a fourth chapter in its membership talks, covering business and industrial policy, when EU ministers meet Tuesday. It still has dozens of negotiating chapters to complete and needs every member state’s approval to join. Parliament and Rights: The European Parliament backed closer scrutiny of Muslim Brotherhood-linked networks and their funding, but the vote does not itself ban the group or place it on the EU terror list. The EU also says Turkey’s crackdown on rights is undermining its membership bid. Rule of Law: European governments rallied behind the International Criminal Court after the US imposed sanctions, warning the measures threaten the court’s independence and work. Culture: More than 200 cultural organisations urged EU leaders to reject cuts to Creative Europe, saying proposed reductions would undercut commitments to artistic freedom and culture’s role in European democracy.
