Warsaw – “Europe today is not moving at the right pace and has ambition that is insufficient and thus our responsibility will be, together, to provide that impetus and have a very tight schedule and to nurture the voluntarism of the Commission to be at the heart of it,” Emmanuel Macron said Thursday, alongside Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

Poland, a heavyweight of the European Union in the east of the continent, is set to take over the rotating presidency of the EU Council on January 1st for six months.

During a few hours visit to Warsaw, the French head of state, highlighting the competition and major investments from the United States and China, called on the future Polish presidency to “accelerate the implementation of our economic and technological agenda.”

He also called to “strengthen” European investments in terms of European security and defense, and to “develop” a European industrial defense base in order to “reduce strategic dependence” on the United States. (December 12, 2024)
