The European Council gathered in Brussels on December 19, 2024, bringing together EU leaders to address a packed agenda of critical issues. The meeting focused on pressing topics, including the war in Ukraine, tensions in the Middle East, and the EU’s evolving role on the global stage.<\/p>\n

Discussions also centered on enhancing resilience, improving crisis prevention and response mechanisms, managing migration, and other key matters shaping the Union\u2019s priorities. As usual, the European Council set the path for EU\u2019s global engagement and priorities in the current geopolitical context. Policy analyst Fatin Re\u015fat Durukan shared his perspectives on the European Union’s trajectory for 2025 in an interview with Harici<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Anti-Michel Camp is set<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new European Council President, Antonio Costa ran his first European Council meeting.<\/p>\n

Former European Council President Charles Michel had been heavily criticized for his way of organizing the European Council meetings. The new European Council President, Antonio Costa, the former Portuguese Prime Minister, so far casted a spell on the leaders with his way of work. Charles Michel was also known for his rivalry with Commission President Ursula von der Leyen during his tenure.<\/p>\n

European Parliament President Roberta Metsola praised European Council President Ant\u00f3nio Costa for his efforts to start meetings on time and streamline summit discussions, allowing leaders to focus on political priorities rather than lengthy text negotiations, a shift she called “quite rare.”<\/p>\n

Former European Council President Charles Michel declined an invitation to join a group photo commemorating the Council’s 50th anniversary, according to POLITICO<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Presidency of the European Council means a lot inside the Brussels Beat, as it sets the strategic direction and has a pivotal role in decision-making in macro matters. The summit was also concerned in that sense as experts indicated that the current political landscape in Europe needs leadership as Germany and France are in political and economic turmoil.<\/p>\n

Ukraine Remains Central to EU Discussions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ukraine remained a central focus of the discussions, as it has been in recent years. The European Council released a separate press release for the conclusions on Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian President, Volodomyr Zelenskyy had attended the first part of the European Council meeting, on an invitation from the new European Council President.<\/p>\n

Speaking alongside European Council President Antonio Costa, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stressed the importance of unity between Europe and the United States to achieve peace in Ukraine, noting that European support would be challenging without U.S. assistance and expressing readiness to engage with President-elect Donald Trump once he takes office. Costa, too, re-affirmed Europe\u2019s commitment to supporting Ukraine, pledging to do \u201cwhatever it takes, for as long as necessary,\u201d both during the war and in the peace that follows.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian President also stated that Ukraine needs 19 additional air defense systems to safeguard its energy infrastructure, including nuclear power plants, from Russian missile strikes.<\/p>\n

Kaja Kallas, EU’s foreign policy face, emphasized that Russia is not invincible and urged Europe to recognize its own strength, warning that premature negotiations could result in a bad deal for Ukraine. She stressed the need for a strong stance, noting that the world is watching Europe\u2019s response.<\/p>\n

The EU leaders then continued their discussion on Ukraine without Zelensky.<\/p>\n

\u201cChina would be only winner from a EU-US trade war\u201d says Kallas<\/strong><\/p>\n

Upon her arrival, EU\u2019s top diplomat Kaja Kallas warned that China would be the only beneficiary of a trade war between Europe and the United States, emphasizing that such conflicts have no true winners. Responding to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump\u2019s tariff threats, she noted that American citizens would also bear the consequences, urging caution in trade relations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2025, we need to step up\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the European Council meeting, European Parliament President Roberta Metsola urged EU leaders to \u201cstep up\u201d in 2025 to solidify Europe\u2019s position on the global stage.<\/p>\n

Turning to the EU\u2019s broader neighborhood, she warned of Russian interference in Moldova, Georgia, and the Western Balkans, advocating for accelerated enlargement efforts. Metsola celebrated the historic integration of Romania and Bulgaria into the Schengen Area and underscored the importance of European leadership in addressing crises in Belarus, the Middle East, and Syria. \u201cNow is our moment to step up,\u201d she declared, urging unity and decisive action for Europe.<\/p>\n

Leadership void in the EU<\/strong><\/p>\n

Durukan highlighted the significant leadership challenges facing the EU in 2025, particularly stemming from political crises in Germany and France. \u201cPolitical crises in France and Germany have created a leadership void, making it harder to tackle economic problems. In France, the government collapsed after a no-confidence vote, while in Germany, the coalition broke down, leading to early elections in February 2025. The economic outlook is not great either, with the OECD cutting growth forecasts for Germany and France.The return of Donald Trump as U.S. president adds more complications, with potential trade tensions and shifting global dynamics\u201d, he explained. These disruptions have created a leadership void, complicating the EU\u2019s ability to address broader economic and geopolitical issues.<\/p>\n

He also pointed to financial instability, noting that the OECD has cut growth forecasts for Germany and France. \u201cDraghi\u2019s report suggests that the EU needs to invest \u20ac750-800 billion annually to stay competitive,\u201d The challenges of implementing such a plan amidst political disagreements might be compelling for the Union.<\/p>\n

Despite these obstacles, he acknowledged ongoing efforts to strengthen the EU\u2019s strategic independence, including initiatives like the EU-Mercosur trade agreement and technological leadership. However, he cautioned that political divisions and the rise of far-right parties are eroding confidence in the EU\u2019s unity and global standing. \u201cThe coming months will be crucial,\u201d he noted, as the bloc navigates both internal and external pressures.<\/p>\n

Ukraine aid sparks future division concerns<\/strong><\/h3>\n

On the European Council\u2019s reaffirmation of support for Ukraine, Durukan highlighted the \u20ac50 billion aid package for 2024\u20132027 and plans to allocate \u20ac18.1 billion in 2025 as evidence of the EU\u2019s commitment. \u201cThe emphasis on ensuring Ukraine\u2019s participation in decisions about its future is a clear message of solidarity,\u201d Durukan said.<\/p>\n

However, he pointed to obstacles posed by diverging interests among member states, particularly Hungary\u2019s resistance, as potential stumbling blocks. \u201cThe prolonged conflict, economic pressures, and domestic political shifts could further deepen these divisions in the coming months,\u201d Durukan told.<\/p>\n

Climate action amidst constraints<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The conclusions also stressed on the importance of increasing the number of natural disasters due to climate change and environmental degradation. France and Spain have faced significant challenges in recent months due to natural disasters. The EU has to balance the budgetary constraints and rising defence spendings with its climate goals in 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe EU is taking decisive steps to achieve its climate goals through legal frameworks such as the European Climate Law and the “Fit for 55” package. In addition, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030, the EU will implement CBAM starting in 2026, which will introduce a carbon price on imports. This system, therefore, will prevent carbon leakage and promote global climate action,\u201d Durukan explained.<\/p>\n

In light of the increasing defence spendings, Durukan, \u201cthe EU integrates energy efficiency and renewable energy use in military facilities, thus aligning security with sustainability. Furthermore, the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change will monitor progress and provide independent scientific advice, enhancing transparency\u201d, said Harici.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, he emphasized the importance of the new Commission setting 2040 climate targets and sector-specific roadmaps. \u201cAchieving these goals will require a focus on sustainable competitiveness and just transition reforms to ensure inclusivity and economic viability,\u201d Durukan concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
