EU summit: Parliament to debate conclusions 

On Wednesday morning, MEPs will take stock of the results of the 12-13 December summit in a debate with European Council President Michel and Commission President von der Leyen.

During its meeting, the European Council aims to finalise its position on the EU long-term climate strategy, with the objective of achieving climate neutrality by 2050. One day before the start of the summit, Parliament organised an extraordinary plenary sitting on the Commission’s first official communication on the European Green Deal.

EU leaders will also discuss the 2021-2027 EU budget, as well as exchange views on the Conference on the Future of Europe and specific foreign policy issues.

In the context of the broader meeting, the EU27 Euro Summit will take place on 13 December to take stock of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) developments, based on the outcome of the recent Eurogroup meeting of 4 December.

In a separate meeting on 13 December, in EU27 format, leaders will discuss Brexit, particularly preparations for the negotiations on future EU-UK relations, in light of the results of the UK general elections that took place on 12 December.
