EU could deny new member states veto rights as bloc pushes for enlargement
Measure could ease concerns from countries – such as France – that are sceptical about bringing in more members
The EU could deny future member states veto rights for several years in an attempt to make enlargement more politically acceptable as the bloc undergoes a push to admit new countries before the end of the decade.
Under plans being considered by the European Commission, prospective member states – such as Moldova and western Balkan countries – would not, on joining the EU, have the automatic right to veto foreign policy decisions or other issues agreed by unanimity, such as taxation.
