Today I am in Brussels for my first European Council meeting. With international developments unfolding rapidly there are plenty of issues that demand our attention.
The Netherlands wants to be a driving force and play a constructive role in moving the EU forward.
Topics on the agenda:
➡️ The situation in Iran and its impact on energy prices.
➡️ The importance of financial support for Ukraine.
➡️ Strengthening EU defence to protect our freedom and security in Europe.
➡️ How we, as the EU, effectively can manage migration flows towards Europe.
➡️ Enhancing our competitiveness so that Dutch companies can create more jobs and for a strong EU in a rapidly changing world.
