#Zoom in for our concluding remarks, from Lucia Mokrá (Chair of the TEPSA Board) and Jim Cloos from @EUCouncil

"#EU2020DE finds itself taking over the Presidency at a crossroads for Europe"

Lucia Mokra praises #PPCBerlin as a way of advocating for leadership from the German Presidency

TEPSA's Pre-Presidency Conferences are an institution, and we're proud to have this opportunity

/12

"Crises like this one show that the EU must develop its capacities to implement good policies based on its strong core values"

Jim Cloos from @EUCouncil describes the need to move forwards strongly after #COVID19, a priority of #EU2020DE

/13

"#Brexit is a lose-lose, the US is MIA, we have a resurgent #Russia and a rising #China, and now we have #COVID19: what we need is for Member States and Institutions to work together"

Jim Cloos from @EUCouncil explains why #EU2020DE is the perfect Presidency for the moment

/14

These closing remarks signal the end of #PPCBerlin

We've had a great couple of days meeting you all virtually, and putting our recommendations to #EU2020DE

Stay tuned for more, and look forward to #PPCLisbon before the Portuguese Presidency at the end of the year 💪
