Conclusions of the extraordinary European Council meeting of 17-21 July 2020 (B9-0229/2020)

23-07-2020

I voted in favour of this report. While the agreement reached by the Council this week on the recovery package, Next Generation EU, is very welcome, it is regrettable that the long-term budget, the MFF, is facing cuts to European programmes, particularly in important areas at this time such as research, innovation and health. I look forward to the Council reaching agreement with the Parliament soon.

I supported this report which presents revised guidelines for EU Member States’ employment policies and calls on them to take into account the unprecedented situation in labour markets due to the COVID-19 crisis.

I voted in favour of this report, which allows for the continuation of support to refugees and host communities in response to the Syria crisis in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey, allowing the EU to honour its commitments to protect refugees.
