State of the Union debate: shaping the EU’s future #SOTEU
MEPs will take stock of the Juncker Commission’s achievements midway through its mandate but most of all discuss ways forward to a strong EU committed to protecting its citizens and deliver economic growth and jobs. The Commission President will kick off the debate in his annual “State of the Union” speech in plenary session on Wednesday morning.
Jean-Claude Juncker is expected to unveil his views on the future of Europe based on five scenarios presented earlier this year. Political group leaders will set out the priorities that they want the EU-27 to deliver on before the June 2019 European elections. President Juncker will react.
The full debate and post-debate statements by political group leaders will be live-streamed on EP Live and EbS+.
