With the geopolitical situation evolving rapidly in the first months of 2025, EU leaders had already convened three times in advance of their regular March meeting. Next to competitiveness – originally due to be the central focus point – the spring European Council meeting covered issues including Ukraine, the Middle East and European defence. On competitiveness, the EU-27 outlined precise directions to accelerate the EU's economic agenda, focusing on three priorities: cutting red tape, ensuring affordable energy and turning savings into investments. Following Hungary's renewed refusal to agree to conclusions on Ukraine, a separate statement, 'firmly supported by 26 Heads of State or Government', was published, emphasising the EU's commitment to provide further comprehensive support to Ukraine and to contribute to security guarantees. As European Council President António Costa intended, the meeting concluded in one day. It started with the customary speech by Parliament's President, Roberta Metsola, who told EU leaders that Europe had 'thrived on soft power' for decades, but with the global order now changing, 'Europe must position itself as a force to be reckoned with'. This requires 'getting serious about our security, our readiness and our competitiveness'. There was a working lunch with United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, and an exchange of views with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. In the afternoon, a Euro Summit in inclusive format took place in the presence of European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde and Eurogroup President Paschal Donohoe. Over dinner, EU leaders held a first discussion on the next long-term EU budget and own resources. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP
