They noted that in today's changing geopolitical landscape, Europe must become much stronger, economically, politically and militarily.
"That is why we have set out an ambitious presidency programme aimed at enhancing the EU’s defence and security, providing support to Ukraine, and tackling irregular migration. All agendas where Denmark has already taken a leading role within the EU. At the same time, we will work to improve the conditions for European businesses by reducing regulatory burdens, while maintaining our commitment to the green transition. This will strengthen Europe’s long-term competitiveness. The Danish government is ready to get to work, and we look forward to delivering tangible results," says Minister for European Affairs Marie Bjerre.
