BRUSSELS, Sept 28 - European Union governments discussed on Thursday how to revamp EU decision-making and finances to be ready for new members as the Commission said it would propose cash and EU market access for candidates to speed up their membership preparations.
Eight countries currently have official EU candidate status - Turkey, Ukraine, Moldova, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia - while two, Georgia and Kosovo, are potential candidate countries. Guiding the talks on the EU's internal preparations is a paper prepared by French and German scholars which calls for a radical overhaul of the EU's decision-making and funding before it can accept more countries by a tentative deadline of 2030.
Varhelyi said after the meeting that despite such challenges the Commission believed accepting new members would not require changes to the EU treaties - a potentially long and complex process that itself requires unanimity. A similarly major change would happen to the EU's regional policy, under which poorer EU members receive money to raise their standard of living.

The greenback stands at a 10-month high against a basket of other majors, and 10-year Treasury yields are hovering at a 16-year peak.
