While France takes the reins of the presidency of the European Union on Saturday 1er January, journalist Julien Gasparutto, live from Brussels (Belgium), explains what the stakes will be.
During the last Happy New Year wishes for his five-year term, Emmanuel Macron wanted to be clear on Friday December 31: 2022 will put the European Union back at the center of concerns. “The head of state has already listed his priorities. Better border protection with a reform of the Schengen area, a carbon border tax on the climate plan, regulation of digital giants or even a common defense policy“, lists journalist Julien Gasparutto, live from Brussels (Belgium) for France 3.
It is the turn of the French ministers to bring these measures to fruition. However, the news often disrupts the initial agenda and the European Union should be shaken up in particular by the resurgence of the Covid-19 epidemic. “Dozens of events are planned for this presidency. This agenda remains suspended from the evolution of the health situation“, concludes Julien Gasparutto.
