#PPCParis is about to begin! If you can't join us live at @SciencesPo_CEE then make sure to check out our Twitter highlights!

/THREAD🧵
Welcome to DAY 1⃣ of #PPCParis! Florence Haegel from @SciencesPo_CEE is opening the conference now: "The overlapping of #EU2022FR with the #FrenchElections of 2022 will frame the agenda of the French Presidency to a great extent"

/2
As part of these welcoming words to #PPCParis we thank Florence Haegel for her warm words and short analysis of the upcoming French Presidency of the @EUCouncil

We're about to hear also from TEPSA Secretary-General @CloosJim

/3
"The traditional TEPSA Pre-Presidency Conference is an opportunity for a very lively debate about the upcoming French Presidency of the @EUCouncil"

- @CloosJim, TEPSA Secretary-General opens #PPCParis at @SciencesPo_CEE

/4
"You have to hope for the best, and then take what comes"

- @CloosJim encourages the French Presidency to take challenges head on, and not shy away from them

/5
At this time, the first session of #PPCParis is opening!

Natasha Wunsch will be chairing the panel on the #TEPSARecommendations between @david_cvach and the TEPSA Recommendations Team including @NicolePirozzi and @IlkeToygur

/6
. @david_cvach is heading the EU department in the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs - there's no one better to react to our #TEPSARecommendations to the incoming presidency

/7
"We don't want to use our Presidency to push our agenda down the throats of the other Member States. But Europe is about cooperation, about taking a higher view than the national interest"

- @david_cvach from @francediplo

/8
"I firmly believe that every EU country sees the Union as a way to maximise their national interest. This is why I think the EU is resilient"

- @david_cvach from @francediplo

/9
"If you approach the EU in an opportunistic way, opting in and out of certain elements, your public will end up wondering if there could have been a better deal. In the UK, this led to #Brexit"

- @david_cvach warns against imbalance between the national and common interest
/10
"This being our 13th Presidency, France is well aware that the Presidency of the @EUCouncil is to be an honest broker between the EU27. We intend to play that role with a lot of ambition"

- @david_cvach described the "main role" of the Council Presidency

/11
"Even when you put new ideas out there, you should consider its feasibility at the EU level: if we were to impose very 'French' ideas without considering this, they would quickly fail"

- @david_cvach from @francediplo

/12
#ClimateAction, #DigitalPolicy and #OnlinePrivacy, #SocialEurope, and the #StrategicCompass will be among the key areas of work for the incoming French Presidency of the @EUCouncil, according to @david_cvach speaking at #PPCParis #EU2022FR

/13


@SciencesPo_CEE @francediplo
"It is always useful to distinguish areas where the EU is a power, and the areas where it is not"

- @david_cvach echoes remarks made by @CloosJim in a recent episode of #EuropeChats 👉

- @david_cvach from @francediplo explains the importance of the Franco-German alliance in Europe

/22
"President #Macron deserves a lot of credit for building relations with a lot of countries within the EU. We have a variety of formats in the European Union as well, country-to-country and in groups"

- @david_cvach alludes to the #DifferentiatedIntegration of the EU

/23

For an explainer, watch the clip by @Florence_Schi

/25

3⃣ Make the #StrategicCompass the focus of EU resilience efforts"

- @RoderickParkes from @dgapev
Read the full recommendations! 👉 tepsa.eu/recommendation…
/26

- @david_cvach from @francediplo on EU resilience

/27
"The distinction between civilian and military missions within CSDP is a distinction to which very many Member States are firmly wedded. This is a difficult area in which to act"

- @david_cvach from @francediplo responds to #TEPSARecommendations from @RoderickParkes

/28

"This is a very tricky balancing act, it is extremely sensitive. I see a discrepancy in a debate between economists and between politicians: the latter are ten years behind"

- @david_cvach responds to Francesco Saraceno's #TEPSARecommendations to centralise EU fiscal policy

/31
Héctor Sánchez Margalef from @CidobBarcelona will now present the #TEPSARecommendations he co-authored with @solerlecha, Elisa Menéndez López

- @Gregoire_CLD from @EIB

/43
"If we really want to change our economy in a way that avoids #ClimateDisaster. We need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 5% every single year for 20 years if we want to achieve #ClimateNeutrality by 2040"

- @ThPellerin from @DelorsInstitute

/44
“The Netherlands does not have the best record when it comes to green energy, but we’ve pushed very hard in favour of the current EU #climategoals"

- @LouiseVanSchaik from @Clingendaelorg

/45
In the parallel session "Next Generation EU and the Macroeconomic Capacity of the EU", Diane Fromage (@sciencespo), Édouard Chrétien (@francediplo), and @fsaraceno (@sciencespo) discussed while @michelemchang moderated

/46

- Diane Fromage, @SciencesPo

- Édouard Chrétien, @francediplo

/48

- @fsaraceno, @sciencespo

/49
In the parallel session "Rule of Law and Democratic Backsliding", @GDelbosCorfield MEP (@GreensEFA), Petr Kratochvíl (@IIR_Prague), Lucia Mokrá (@ComeniusUni), and @_PaulSchmidt (@oegfe) discussed with Natasha Wunsch moderating

/50
"The @EPPGroup showed a lot of courage when in 2018 they contributed to the success of the Art.7 resolution"

- @GDelbosCorfield MEP, @GreensEFA

/51
"Hungary is primarily about state capture, corruption and predatory policies which are legitimised by an artificially produced ideology. In Poland on the contrary the starting point is a strong ideology"

- Petr Kratochvíl, @IIR_Prague

/52
"We have very clear definitions of the rule of law from the legal point of view. What we currently have a problem with is enforcement of the rule of law, but to enforce the rule of law in the EU is a purely political decision"

- Lucia Mokrá, TEPSA Chairperson (@ComeniusUni)

/53
"The Hungarian case goes even further the electoral perspective: even if Orban lost the election, by now he has created a system whereby even with a new government he and his people would still be in charge"

- @_PaulSchmidt, @oegfe

/54
In the parallel session "The EU as a Global Actor", Magdalena Góra (@JagiellonskiUni), @ChristianLeque3 (@sciencespo), and @NicolePirozzi (@IAIonline) discussed with TEPSA Secretary-General @CloosJim moderating

- Magdalena Góra, @JagiellonskiUni

/56
"Autonomy means reflecting on relations with those new powers, how to behave with China in particular. Do we have to follow US way of doing things or should we reflect our EU way of doing things?"

- @ChristianLeque3, @sciencespo

/57
"We have this tendency especially in the defence field to take a responsibility when there is no common position. You risk having an actor that is not fully in power that takes decision on behalf of principal actors"

- @NicolePirozzi, @IAIonline
