On Tuesday, 8 July at 10:30, Members of the European Parliament held a discussion with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen regarding Denmark’s agenda for its six-month Presidency of the Council of the European Union, which began on 1 July.
The Danish government emphasized that the European Union is facing unprecedented international challenges, including growing geopolitical and economic competition as well as increasing global instability. Under the slogan “A Strong Europe in a Changing World,” Denmark’s presidency aims to bolster a resilient European Union that takes greater responsibility for its own security.
Key priorities include strengthening EU cooperation with NATO, continuing unwavering support for Ukraine’s struggle for peace and freedom, and enhancing Europe’s global competitiveness. The Danish Presidency will also focus on improving conditions for businesses, while accelerating the green transition needed to combat climate change and promote sustainable growth.
