Alexander De Croo specifies that the accession process will nevertheless be long. He also underlines that this European summit was announced as difficult, even impossible for some.and it’s good to sit around the table […] And we finally come to a decision.” A decision which binds the 27 Member States around an accession process for Ukraine.
As for the progress of the meeting and the decision-making, the Prime Minister recalled that at the European Council “there is no vote. We decide by consensus. We can have another opinion, but when the Council’s decision is to start these discussions, it binds everyone. We can make all the declarations we want… What I remember is that Hungary said: ‘we are going to use our veto’ and they decided not to use their veto“. From then on, the decision of the European Council binds the 27 Member States.
