The president of the EU Council has described having "mixed feelings" following the failure last week of key United Nations-led talks on an international pandemic accord last week, which led to the initiative being delayed until May 2025. “On the one hand, I’m disappointed because I would’ve preferred a decision and I felt the momentum was now,” Charles Michel told a pooled media interview in Brussels Michel was among initiators of the pandemic treaty proposal during the Paris Peace Forum in November 2020. “There was a lack of political will and courage of some around the table, and this is ju...

Before giving way to his successor, Charles Michel will need to broker a deal on the next leadership team for the Commission, the European Council, and the European Parliament, as well as the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs. “I have the modest impression that I'm not the only one thinking that it won't be easy,” he told a pooled media interview attended by Euronews. Michel does not believe Ursula von der Leyen's path to be reinstated at the helm of the Commission will be unencumbered in view of uncertainty around the Parliament’s composition after the EU elections planned from 6 t...

The contest for leadership of European Council - the prize of steering EU leaders through the next five-year mandate - entails peculiarities making it notoriously difficult to predict. The gathering of EU heads of state and government is an elite club and those wishing to chair it should’ve attended it previously – so serving as political head of state is one condition for appointment. But it is also acts as a key post for maintaining balance across the appointments of top EU jobs, and offers a counter-weight to the choice of Commission president's choice. Different post-election scenarios are...

European Council President Charles Michel is “in favour of the recognition of Palestine” and calls for a coordinated approach among EU and third countries to bring about concrete progress on the matter, he told Euronews in an exclusive interview. Michel's comments on Monday to EU Senior Correspondent Maïa De La Baume came on the eve of Spain, Ireland and Norway formally recognising a state of Palestine, seven months after the Gaza war broke out.

Michel made the comments at the Copenhagen Democracy Summit on Tuesday when he was asked about the upcoming elections to the European Parliament, where hard- and far-right parties are projected to enjoy a significant boost in representation. "The question in the European Parliament will be: What are the political parties ready to cooperate (with), to collaborate to support Ukraine, to defend the democratic principles and to make the EU stronger?" Michel said on stage. "If I'm observing the reality of some of those political parties that you qualify as the 'far right,' the reality is sometimes ...

Diese Woche vor zwanzig Jahren erlebte die Europäische Union die größte Erweiterungsrunde aller Zeiten. Am 1. Mai 2004 traten zehn Staaten gleichzeitig dem Block bei, sieben davon von jenseits des ehemaligen Eisernen Vorhangs. Manche nannten es den „Urknall“. In einer eher stillen Feier wurden die europäischen Institutionen in Brüssel, Straßburg und Luxemburg diese Woche diesem Anlass entsprechend ausstaffiert. EU-Ratspräsident Charles Michel sprach sich für die Aufnahme neuer Mitglieder aus: „Die Erweiterung ist für die Zukunft der EU von entscheidender Bedeutung, denn ohne Erweiterung besteh...

Some called it the “Big Bang”. In a rather mute celebration, the European institutions in Brussels, Strasbourg and Luxembourg were lit up for the occasion this week. EU Council President Charles Michel advocated new members: “Enlargement is vital for the future of the EU because without enlargement there is, in fact, a risk for a new Iron Curtain, and this would be extremely dangerous, if you would...

Il y a vingt ans cette semaine, l'Union européenne a connu le plus grand élargissement de son histoire. Le 1er mai 2004, dix États ont rejoint simultanément l'Union, dont sept de l'autre côté de l'ancien rideau de fer. Certains l'ont appelé le "Big Bang". En guise de célébration muette, les institutions européennes de Bruxelles, Strasbourg et Luxembourg ont été illuminées pour l'occasion cette semaine. "L'élargissement est vital pour l'avenir de l'UE parce que sans élargissement, il y a en fait un risque d'un nouveau rideau de fer, ce qui serait extrêmement dangereux, si vous aviez un voisinag...
