During its term, Denmark aims to create a competitive and ecological EU, driving growth through a green transition.
Denmark's motto for its presidency is 'A strong Europe in a changing world'. It plans to focus on promoting defense spending and supporting Ukraine. Decisions by the Council are usually made with a qualified majority based on proposals from the European Commission.
Denmark's presidency of the Council of the European Union, starting in July 2025, will play a crucial role in shaping the EU's future. With a focus on a strong, effective EU and a green transition, Denmark's leadership is expected to drive significant changes in European policy.
