Shared values and common challenges have long made the EU and Canada friends, partners, and allies.
Marking the start of a new era, an associate membership to the EU would strengthen and deepen our cooperation, to create common prosperity and economic security.

Russia is intensifying its efforts to test, probe and intimidate Europe.
With the new Emergency Security Protocol, Europe will deter threats and respond together to acts of aggression.
An attack against one Member State is an attack against all of our Union.

Letošní projev UvdL SOTEU2026 byl slabší a byl docela zklamáním. Teda až na tu Kanadu. Kanada je pecka a je to historická věc! Ale kromě toho řekla něco, co 100% přesně definuje stav dnešní EU: "Naše Unie je nejsilnější, jaká kdy byla. Zároveň může působit křehčí než kdy dřív." Přesně, tvl přesně!

And a new Banking Package focusing on simplification will increase the sector’s competitiveness.
