The French Presidency has convened EU leaders for an informal summit on 10 and 11 March with a significant shift in the substance of the meeting, given Russia’s war on Ukraine.
On the agenda: EU enlargement, sovereignty and defence. How to revise the EU’s enlargement process, following the application for EU membership by three DCFTA countries? What’s next for EU defence cooperation and the EU’s upcoming military strategy document, the Strategic Compass? And how can Europe build its energy sovereignty whilst still aiming for a green transition?
CEPS experts will comment on the outcome and impact of this special meeting in a debrief session for members.
