And what goes on in this chamber every day makes a joke out of us all. We cannot afford to carry on like this,” they told the empty chamber.“It is possible to act on climate and costs in a way that is fair and supports everyone.

The issue of visa for Russian tourists featured high on the agenda of the ministerial meeting in Prague.
EU foreign ministers agree to scrap Russia visa deal but stop short of full tourist ban
PRAGUE — The European Union has decided to fully suspend a 2007 visa agreement with Russia and intensify scrutiny over the future applications submitted by Russian tourists.The political decision, taken in response to the invasion of Ukraine, falls short of the outright visa ban advocated by countries neighboring Russia and receiving visitors by land.The suspension of the agreement is expected to significantly hinder the visa application process, making it much more expensive, burdensome and drawn-out for Russian nationals planning to visit the bloc."It’s going to be more difficult and longer, and consequently the number of new visas will be substantially reduced," said Josep Borrell, the EU's foreign policy chief, at the end of an informal meeting of foreign affairs...
