The Netherlands opposes Ukraine’s accession to the EU bypassing Hungary

The abolition of the principle of unanimity in the European Union, as well as the integration of Ukraine and Moldova into the bloc without taking into account the opinion of Hungary, is the wrong way. This was stated by the Prime Minister of the Netherlands Dick Schoof, according to the Trouw.nl news agency, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports.
“The future of Moldova and Ukraine is in the EU,” he emphasized.
However, according to Schloof, bypassing Hungary’s opinion is the wrong way to European integration of the two countries.
In late August, Bloomberg wrote that the EU had studied possible legal moves to use the majority principle instead of the unanimity principle when voting on certain decisions of the bloc. It was noted that changing the voting principle would allow for “quick and decisive action” and prevent individual EU countries from blocking steps that were supported by the rest of the bloc.
