Once again, geopolitics was the main topic in Ursula von der Leyen’s State of the European Union address. But there were also many other things that she mentioned, and some that she omitted.

A collection of short analyses on the key issues of the #SOTEU25:

The draft #EUCO Conlcusions do not include a roadmap for the future work on internal reforms, as #EU leaders had promised in June 2024.

All this shows that #EU & member states are not adequately responding to the "Test of Times" when it comes to enlargement & reform.

V good piece on the changed background (thanks to Trump) against which the UK & EU are trying to improve relations. Not everyone (on either side of the Channel) has woken up to the fact that the transatlantic relationship will be quite different in future, & Europe will have to be more self-reliant.

While you're waiting for the US election to start, have a look at our new #FIIA Paper about the priorities of the new #EUcommission!

It's about the impact of recent crises, tensions between long and short-term goals, and the need to know your destination even when you're driving on sight.

#EUsky
Priorities of the new EU Commission | FIIA
The EU has always been more comfortable with long-term policymaking, but recent crises have forced it to become more agile and reactive.
