Outcome of December EU summit and need for a stronger Europe

In a joint debate from 9.00, MEPs will debate the outcome of the European Council meeting of 18 December and the need for a stronger and more sovereign Europe amid rising geopolitical tensions and continuous threats to the rules-based order. They will be joined by European Council President Antonio Costa and Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

The vote on a report on EU-US relations previously scheduled for today has been postponed until further notice. A press conference with the rapporteur, Michał Szczerba (EPP, PL), will take place at 14.00. A press conference on EU-US trade relations, with International Trade Committee chair Bernd Lange (S&D, DE), is scheduled for 16.00.
