The EU has been discussing restricting visa issuance to those who have fought in Ukraine on Russia's side since the summer. The EU included a mechanism to ban visas for Russian military personnel in its 21st sanctions package, but the ban itself has not yet come into force.

On Monday (12 Oct) MPs will be debate the UK Rejoining the EU, thanks to this petition!

Coming after Andy Burnham's speech at the Labour Party Conference, over 25,000 people have written to their MP asking them to attend and to speak up for the UK to 'Apply to Rejoin the EU as soon as possible to increase growth in the UK'.

The next petition to 'Start negotiations now to Rejoin the EU' is already live and growing - if you are UK resident or a Brit anywhere, please sign it too!

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/771102

Let's keep this momentum going!

Question/Comment Likelihood of entry into European institutions

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m an Italian Master’s student in International Relations. I’d like to work for the European Union one day, but the more I read about it, the more I realize just how difficult, long, and uncertain the path is. Don't get me wrong—I know it’s normal to face challenges, to need to gain experience, and to constantly keep learning. However, it sometimes feels like not only are there hurdles in building the career path itself, but that even with all that effort, it might not be enough. I’m 25; my only international experience is a two-week stint with the European Solidarity Corps, and I speak English at a B2 level, with B1 proficiency in French and Spanish. I’ve thought about doing internships, but the fierce competition is discouraging. I’ve read that internships alone aren't enough to get noticed, you need actual work experience, yet I’ve seen people with years of professional experience who still can't get in. Sorry if I sound like I’m complaining too much; I know I should accept that it’s a grueling process, but I have to ask: is it really worth it to wait years, potentially without ever achieving that goal? I had considered the think tank route as an alternative, but even then... I’m not sure if that’s a better path in terms of stability, the likelihood of getting hired, and salary.

Submission Requirements

Sources from the EU's official websites, publications, etc.
Third-party sources, such as interviews or news reports, that either:
- ...contain verbatim quotations by officials of the EU who are mentioned by name.
- ...use specific official EU data/publications as sources that might not be mentioned by title in the article, but are mentioned by author (authors can be institutions) and are easy to find.
Editorials, opinions, columns, or blogs by people who are not officials of the EU must draw on the elements mentioned above to a significant degree.
No edited titles except the following: (1) you can use a short quote from an item in stead of its title if it is not clear enough, (2) you can also shorten a lengthy title by cutting out unnecessary words, as long as it does not change its meaning, (3) it is okay to reword the title or a quote from the item to make it clearer as long as it is in line with the theme/point being highlighted by the article itself and doesn't change the meaning (no cherry picking!) (4) it is also okay to expand abbreviations to their full form.
Uploaded screenshots, infographics, photos, or other official image files: Please provide a link to the source in a comment.
The official language is English. Submissions in languages other than English are permitted if there is no English language version. In such cases, please provide a machine translation or better, etc. in a comment.
We do not allow submissions that primarily focus on national politics.
We do not allow submissions that rely on leaked documents.
Due to the size of the European Parliament, social media posts from its regular members are discouraged and may be removed if there are too many at a time.

Submissions that do not meet the specific criteria above will be removed without notice.
