According to a report the Baltics aren’t sufficiently interested in joining the eu at present.
Reportedly a Polish court recently superceded an eu ruling concerning Poland’s rights to remove a judge, beginning an infringement procedure. The new disciplinary regime, according to the commission undermines judicial independence of poland’s judges by not offering necessary guarantees to protect them from political control. Why the judge was removed was unknown.
Enrolled countries are known as member states which implies diminished sovereignty. The current president incumbent of the eu commision was deputy leader of the german christian democratic union for nine years before becoming President of the commission. Reportedly an application was made by the eu commission to strengthen eu rule of law, not popular with everyone in 2019.
