'We delivered' is how European Council President António Costa summed up the last EU leaders' meeting of 2025, which 'addressed crucial issues for the future of Europe'. After an EU agreement on the long-term immobilisation of Russian assets was secured just days before the meeting, EU leaders found a 'pragmatic and realistic solution' to cover Ukraine's financial needs of €90 billion for 2026-2027. If EU borrowing was the less expected outcome, it was one 'everyone can stand behind'. Even if the ...

The last European Council meeting of the year usually has a heavy agenda, and the December 2025 meeting will be no exception. This meeting will clearly be decisive for Ukraine. Amid diplomatic efforts to achieve a 'just and lasting peace', the European Council – as its President, António Costa, stated – 'will deliver' on its commitment and set the framework for financing Ukraine over the next few years. The other central topic is the next multiannual financial framework, with Costa hoping to get ...

The European Parliament had for many years been calling for the establishment of a rule of law review cycle engaging the Commission, Parliament and Council on the basis of an inter-institutional agreement, open to other EU institutions. Whereas such a formal agreement has to date not been concluded, the annual rule of law report mechanism, launched in 2020 by the Commission, partly fulfils Parliament's wishes. The annual rule of law reports have, from the outset, covered all the 27 EU Member States ...
