No, it wasn’t Giorgia Meloni or Viktor Orbán this time. It was Olaf Scholz and Emmanuel Macron. They delayed the discussion at the dinner on the first day of the summit by requesting changes to the strategic agenda. The Franco-German wish list covered several chapters, from climate to defense, competitiveness and enlargement. The chapter on climate policy, for example, was to be supplemented with the sentence: „We will press ahead with the implementation of the Green Deal and expand it further.“ In the defense chapter, the reference to flagship projects should be deleted.
