"We expect a great deal – sometimes too much – of the European Councils. The one that was recently held at the end of March was mainly devoted to the economic aspects of European integration.
Europe is faced with a major problem, the scale and urgency of which was demonstrated by the Russia-Ukraine crisis in January: the absence of a common energy policy. Several countries have worked particularly hard on this issue that is crucial to our countries’ independence, including France, which proposed a memorandum that was the subject of a broad consensus.
The European Council launched an ambitious strategy promoting a secure, competitive and sustainable energy supply for Europe. This is a major step forward, to which we must now give concrete expression.
The Spring European Council also decided to double the European research and innovation budgetary effort over the 2007/2013 period. This is essential for the competitiveness of our economies and therefore for Europe’s place in the world faced with the presence of developing countries.
At the same time, the European Council made official the creation of a Globalisation Adjustment Fund, which was widely sought after by our fellow citizens.
Europe is undoubtedly going through a difficult period, but that must certainly not overshadow the positive signals given by the implementation of instruments of economic progress and of solidarity."@en1
