Belgium’s Council Presidency: Reviewing a remarkably stimulating six months By Jean-Louis De Brouwer

From January to June 2024, #Belgium held the presidency in the EU Council.

Justifying its reputation as an honest broker, it reached agreement on many, even difficult, measures. But it was less successful in shaping strategic choices for the future.

By JEAN-LOUIS DE BROUWER

Die belgische Ratspräsidentschaft: Rückblick auf ein bemerkenswert anregendes halbes Jahr Von Jean-Louis De Brouwer

Von Januar bis Juni 2024 hatte #Belgien den #EU-Ratsvorsitz inne.

Entsprechend seinem Ruf als ehrlicher Makler erzielte das Land Einigung über viele, auch schwierige Maßnahmen. Weniger erfolgreich war es bei der Gestaltung strategischer Zukunftsentscheidungen.

‼️12 member states wrote to #EU2024BE calling for the adoption of the negotiating frameworks for #Ukraine & #Moldova in June at the latest. It'd mean the start of accession talks. #HU2024EU still blocks the agreement. You'll never guess who signed the letter! Slovakia!

Honoured to start our 'Coalition for Democratic #Resilience' with a conference co-organised with @EU2024BE & @EU_EEAS.

Thanks for excellent collaboration & for resilience as #EU2024BE priority!

Based on the Royal Higher Institute for Defence and #EU2024BE event on #MilitaryMobility held in February 2024 in Ghent, this note summarises the main takeaways from the seminar. Give it a read!

Thanks for the invitation #EU2024BE and Royal Higher Institute for Defence! A day focused on maritime security and I was asked to provide some thoughts on security in the Mediterranean Sea. Let’s not forget Europe’s southern dimension (thanks to 🇧🇪 for putting it on the agenda!).

Ministers can prioritise a zero-emission electrification framework with an expanded and modernised grid for the 2024-2029 term. The decarbonisation of the power generation can reduce electricity prices by 12% and households energy bills by two-third by 2035.
