We assume responsibility for Europe in difficult times. Together, in solidarity, future-oriented.

"Germany will hold the EU Council Presidency at a time of existential challenges for the European Union and its citizens. The economic and social consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the continuing health threat posed by the virus, require a comprehensive and common European response. Europe can now prove that it acts in solidarity and that it is capable of providing support to the people in difficult times."
