Strength in unity: EU leaders to look ahead to common future at Sibiu summit

Inicio » EU News » Strength in unity: EU leaders to look ahead to common future at Sibiu summit

2019-05-09

On 9 May 2019, EU leaders will meet in Sibiu, as suggested by President Juncker in his 2017 State of the Union address, to discuss the EU’s next strategic agenda for the period 2019-2024.

They will exchange views on the challenges and priorities for the EU for the years to come. The current agenda was agreed in June 2014 by the European Council and was shaped into the 10 political priorities of the Juncker Commission. Five years on, efforts to deliver on those priorities have brought tangible results for citizens, despite unpredicted difficulties along the way, which continue to pose serious challenges for our Union. Building on the policy recommendations for how Europe can shape its future presented last week, the Commission is today looking back at what has been accomplished over the past five years.

A strong track record

The Juncker Commission’s 10 priorities focused on the things that matter most to Europeans: bringing back jobs, growth and investment, strengthening social fairness, managing migration, mitigating security threats, unlocking the potential of the digital and energy transitions, making the EU a stronger global actor, and reinforcing transparency and democratic legitimacy.

By summer 2018, the Juncker Commission had tabled all of the legislative proposals it committed to at the start of its mandate. In total, the Commission made 471 new legislative proposals and carried over an additional 44 presented by previous Commissions. Of these, 348 proposals have been adopted or agreed by the European Parliament and the Council during the current mandate.

Looking forward

Last week, the European Commission set out a number of policy recommendations for how Europe can shape its future in an increasingly multipolar and uncertain world. The Commission recommended that the EU’s strategic agenda for 2019-2024 focus on 5 key dimensions:

  • a protective Europe because peace is power in today’s world;
  • a competitive Europe that invests in the technologies of tomorrow and supports our greatest assets: the single market, our industry and our common currency;
  • a fair Europe that upholds our fundamental principles of equality, the rule of law and social justice in the modern world;
  • a sustainable Europe that takes the lead on sustainable development and in fighting climate change;
  • and an influential Europe that seeks touphold and update the rules-based systemthat has served us so well for so long.

EU27 leaders meeting in Sibiu can now draw on this to set new policy orientation and new priorities for the EU ahead of the European Parliament elections on 23-26 May 2019 and the change of political leadership of the EU institutions that will follow.

President Juncker will represent the European Commission at the informal meeting of EU27 Heads of State or Government in Sibiu on 9 May 2019. Preceding this, he will participate in a citizens’ dialogue alongside Romanian President Iohannis at 18:00 CET on 8 May 2019.

Commissioners Thyssen and Navracsics will also be in Sibiu, Romania to open the Youth Event ‘Let’s shape the future of Europe together’ and attend the Award Ceremony of the #MySocialEurope photo competition. Commissioner Navracsics will also hand over awards to the monthly winners of the photo contest ‘My magical European Solidarity Corps moment’.
