We really want to see the EU acting together as one and having a framework for challenges such as migration and asylum, addressing together security and defence. The topic of climate change is particularly for young people an existence threatening challenge, says Svenja Hahn, President of the European Liberal Youth, in an interview to Europost.

If Italy falls into a deeper economic crisis, the first door it will knock on will be the EU's, Kaloyan Simeonov, Associate Professor in EU policies, says in an interview to Europost.

Security of each object in the Internet of Things should not be considered as an afterthought, it should be implemented in the design phase. It is always better to take care of something when you start, in the beginning, than to solve problems after the implementation, said Dr Apostolos Malatras, expert in Network and Information Security with the Secure Infrastructure and Services Unit at ENISA, in an interview to Europost.

ICT by itself is a positive thing and development. But as in every period in human history, these instruments - tools that are by themselves, per se, useful - can be misused, says Davor Raus from UNODC in an interview to Europost.

Italy has no problem to find money. Its debt is relatively high but is less compared to what Greece had during the crisis. Italy can find market for its debt, so I see no problem, at least not in the short term, said Karel Lannoo, CEO of CEPS, in an interview to Europost.

The political support for our Schengen accession has been voiced many times. As long as six or seven years ago we met all technical accession requirements, and ever since the European Commission has repeatedly suggested that Bulgaria should join the Schengen area. But still some Member States refuse to put the observance of European laws and rules above the internal political pressure they experience.

I am advocating for social innovation rather than financial innovation and rather than just selling more gadgets to people. The model Silicon Valley brings is not sustainable from the environmental point of view, but also from a financial point of view. The way venture capital works often is by disrupting the sector, investing on lowering the prices and then entering as a monopolist. This is evident for many cases, says Denis Roio, CTO and co-founder of Dyne.org think &do tank, in an interview to Europost.

It was expected that the participation would not be high, but we shall take it as a signal of what the people's choice is, and I think the Macedonian Parliament has a basis to set about ratifying the name deal. It is very clear that it will not be an easy process because it needs constitutional majority, and it will not be easy for it to be obtained, said Tomi Huhtanen, Executive Director of Wilfried Martens Centre for European Studies, in an interview to Europost.

The referendum's result was absolutely predictable although I expected the voter turnout to be slightly higher. In fact, this shows that rather divergent processes are running among different groups of the population in Macedonia. In this case we have two proclaimed winners. More than likely, it means that the agony of Macedonia will be prolonged.We made a fundamental mistake believing that Euro-Atlantic integration means automatic elimination of the existing problems.

The question is not whether there will be another crisis or how deep it will be but rather when its onset will be. There is no doubt that it is coming. It is clear that the current debt-to-GDP ratio is quite unsustainable. I would not want to go into speculations as to how it will be corrected. I just hope it is in a peaceful manner because history remembers violent corrections of such imbalances, Chairman of BICA Vasil Velev says in an interview to Europost.
