Question for written answer E-002508/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Erik Kaliňák (NI)
In February 2025, I addressed a question to the Commission regarding the participation of the Commission President in the summit of the Coalition of the Willing in Paris. In the answer of May 2025, I was informed that the President of the Commission is responsible for ensuring the external representation of the EU and that the invitation to participate underscores the Commission’s distinct and important role in these discussions[1].
In light of the above:
- 1.How did the personal participation of the Commission President in the meetings of the Coalition of the Willing benefit the EU and all its Member States?
- 2.What tangible results (not just declarations and promises) have the meetings and activities of the Coalition of the Willing attended by the Commission representative produced?
- 3.Does the Commission not consider participation in events to which only some Member States are invited to be polarising and potentially dangerous, given the potential of such participation to sow division within the EU?
