At the end of 2020, Germany will hand over the EU Council Presidency to Portugal. Its tenure has taken place amid two waves of the COVID-19 pandemic that has resulted in the deepest economic recession in the EU’s history. Germany has had to hold the EU27 together under extraordinarily difficult circumstances and lay the groundwork for an adequate crisis response. Given the immense expectations to deliver quick and efficient results, Germany was left little room for its own policy priorities.

This event will take stock of Germany’s achievements during its six months at the helm of the Council What has been achieved? How much space was left for other policy issues beyond crisis management? We will also look ahead and debate the biggest challenges still facing the EU: achieving a sustainable economic and social response to the crisis, upholding European values and the rule of law, and strengthening the EU’s international role in 2021.  
This is the final event of Project Presidency, a series of joint activities of the EPC and the DGAP to discuss key policy issues during the German Presidency of the Council aimed at connecting the EU policy debate in Berlin and Brussels.
