  • 6. Standing with Ukraine: support and solidarity from the European Union

    6. Standing with Ukraine: support and solidarity from the European Union
    Apr 13 2022
    Russia’s full-scale war of aggression against Ukraine, which began on 24 February, has caused the greatest security and humanitarian crisis in Europe for almost a century. In response, the European Union has demonstrated its solidarity with and support for Ukraine, and its determination to isolate Russia internationally and weaken its capacity to wage war. In this edition of Europe Calling, we look at the war waged by Russia against Ukraine, and how the EU is responding with unprecedented decisions. Our guests from the EU institutions are Matti Maasikas, EU ambassador to Ukraine, and Maciej Popowski, Director-General for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Negotiations in the Commission. They present to us the EU’s work consisting in supporting Ukraine and managing the consequences of the war. We also speak to three Ukrainians for their perspectives on the war: Vsevolod Chenstov, Ukraine’s ambassador to the EU; Gennadiy Chyzhykov, president of the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry; and Olena Alekseyenko, a refugee who managed to flee Ukraine with her two teenage sons and is now in Belgium.

  • 5. Security and Schengen‘s open borders: a picture of increasing threat with matching drive for reform

    5. Security and Schengen‘s open borders: a picture of increasing threat with matching drive for reform
    Feb 15 2022

    In early 2022 Europeans woke to three potentially dire security threats to them and their way of life: more conflict in insecurity in Ukraine, increasing hybrid warfare and cyber attacks, and the possibility of new arrivals of refugees and migrants following the military withdrawal in Afghanistan and the resumption of power by the Taliban.

    These threats may have their origin hundreds or thousands of kilometres away. But their impact may be felt far closer to home. Reform of Schengen and management of the EU’s external borders takes on a fresh urgency.

    The fifth episode the European Commission’s podcast Europe Calling series tackles these and wider security issues with Vice-President Margaritis Schinas, responsible for Promoting the European Way of Life. Internal and external border management are very much part of his brief.

    Speaking with first-hand experience as a Greek national, Vice-President Schinas addresses what he calls a “desperately” needed agreement among the 27 Member States on burden-sharing arrangements for refugees and migrants.

    The podcast also features an interview with an Afghan illegal migrant, now a photographer legally resident in Belgium. What were his experiences on the perilous journey from Pakistan to Europe with the help of people smugglers?

    And there’s an interview with a leading security expert from the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) on how the threats to Europe’s security have evolved significantly in recent years. “We are facing a totally different type of threat…with attacks that do not need major financing structures and are perpetrated by lone wolves,” she says.

    4. Front and centre: people with disabilities must be enabled to achieve their aspirations, with Commissioner Helena Dalli
    Dec 7 2021
    Changing perceptions of people with disabilities, helping to integrate them into employment that matches their ambitions and enabling them to exercise their full rights in a diverse, inclusive society are the cornerstones of the EU’s approach – and a personal commitment by Commissioner for Equalities, Helena Dalli. In this fourth episode of the European Commission’s podcast Europe Calling, Commissioner Dalli uses the occasion of the International Day of People with Disabilities (3 December) to reaffirm the Commission’s resolute determination to build a union of equality for all individuals, regardless of how ‘different’ others might consider them to be. The podcast also features interviews with two people with disabilities, who explain the challenges they have observed in the workplace and outline their suggestions for practical and political measures to enhance their lives. The episode is also available as vodcast with subtitles and Sign Language Interpretation.
