The presentation of the priorities of the Croatian Presidency and the discussion on the conference on the future of Europe were the main topics of the General Affairs Council (GAC) meeting. The Polish delegation was headed by the Permanent Representative of the Republic of Poland to the EU Andrzej Sadoś.
During the public session of the meeting, the Croatian Presidency presented its motto: ‘A strong Europe in a world of challenges’ and the more specific four basic priorities: a Europe that develops, that connects, that protects and an influential Europe.
The General Affairs Council meeting was an opportunity to exchange views on key elements of the Council mandate regarding the conference on the future of Europe. During the discussion, attention was drawn to issues such as focusing on EU policies and program objectives, the need to act on the basis of the EU strategic agenda and the need to maintain an appropriate inter-institutional balance.
