together with the united nations secretary general, which was a brutal violation of the un charter and questions. the fundamental principles of the international peace order. russia must withdraw its troops. it is clear how this war ends. it's the prerequisite for f just and fair piece with ukraine and prevents or russia from implementing its imperialist skulls. it is clear that we always have to discuss carefully in the fact that this is a problem that takes place in europe that threatens the whole world. but the fact that a borders cannot be moved by the use of force is a fundamental principle of our peaceful order and creates insecurity all around the world. it is clear that this war has repercussions around the globe, not just in ukraine, where many,

many cities and infrastructure is being destroyed. many citizens lose their lives due to a rush and bombs, but it has repercussions not just in europe, but all over the world. it is important that we discuss these questions and make these questions around because they're, they affect all of us. especially when matters are at stake like food security, food security is at stake. and uh, this is why it is good that the secretary general is doing. so much work in order to enable the green deal that enabled the export of russia, ukraine in grain from ukraine. and we hope that there will be further agreements and this agreement has a great importance indeed. the solidarity that ukraine needs is something that we assured here again and we've talked and we've touched the solidity to

the ukranian for president and we learned a contribution to the fact that ukraine can defend itself. and we assured the president that support as being a lend, as long as it is necessary, so that the integrity of ukraine and 70 of ukraine can be defended. we also, in our deliberation, talked about our supplies of ammunition and how we can lend continuously support. we took decisions as far as financing is concerned, but also we talked about how we can make sure that the production capacities are being enhanced as germany meant. some other countries do the same. we offered that others can join in the supply contract that we engaged in with concrete accompanies in our procurement. and i

think it is important. we also addressed other topics, the questions pertaining to european competitiveness. it's important for the future of europe in a world with more and more inhabitants and more countries that have economic strengths. we need to have a competitive edge as far as technology is concerned. for instance, this is important. we need to do our homework. we need to be using the most progressive tools also when it comes to client combating climate change and move with a necessary speed to become a carbon neutral by the year 2050 in our discussions. we also talked about the inflation reduction act in the us. we have a clear position,

the goals and the measures are not always fair and it is good that talks are under way and we see progress in these discussions that we see their progress as possible. and i think it would be an important contribution and commission president are also did important work. we of course, research, development and innovation are part of this. we need to create more jobs. we need to do more. this is something that has been worse by everyone. and i just said, if we want to reach our objectives, we are going to have to adapt and amend european and also national law so that there are no legal obstacles in the wave for achieving the necessary

speed. so that we have the possibility to change the necessary structures that are continent fit for the future. just to play the green deal, industrial cloud, the met 0 industrial act and the credo called raw materials are welcomed in discussions. and or it has be done on behalf of a commission, but also member states. we talked about the reform of the elect, european electricity market. it is about creating the necessary conditions to enable the growth and expansion of renewable energy. and of course, we also need quick and worth reforms. we interpret tentatively also debated, trade policies, trade politics, i said, many said that we have to speed up and we need to forge a further trade and heels, or is also a conclusion. microsoft, it is important that we have

a strategic had a strategic my not strategic debate about the trade of policies. it is important in my point of view it, which does we fear that we do so that we are fear of partners in between our partners and the world that we promote development opportunities between them delivered to integration upcoming gifts. we are actually continued to negotiate deals with many countries from the world for us. and if our me, if important that comes with the countries that can also promote and, and, and enhance their own value chains. and it is sometimes not fair, that raw materials are not being processed in the countries where they are a source legal, sheila disk with some discussions with pertaining to china for

products that can only be achieved or we are doing a period there. but a dissertation is such a raw materials where it's just sourced in other countries. and then thirdly, produced in china that we need to enable countries who are there and expect their own potential. i think the agreement that germany with china is a good contribution to after, after the good debate leave with yesterday. and today we had the summit of the euro group. we discussed the situation in the capital markets, or one can clearly say it paid off that we had a strict rules and regulations in the past years, the banking system is stable in europe and the european union has, in many areas, offer in sector of the euro we have assigned the structures in force

trade rules. this has been tried and tested and turned to was ordered to put us in a position that were able to say that the european banking system are robust and stable. that we have the necessary oversight and structures or thanks to the work of his past years. and the efforts of the banks themselves were in a robust and resilient position this as an incentive to make progress in the capital markets and the banking union. and we discussed, but what's more important. we also clowns to full heartedly and leg progress commission is going to submit proposals in the finance minister going to be forward proposals and we are aiming to speed up. the process is further important for the future of our european union in succeeding in it, the better we have better conditions we have for our jobs, just regions,

the capital markets and the bank in union will enable us to use the more capital at the right. coins and it is important that we don't have separate markets that europe can unfold its full clout, a banking and capital markets unions. so good news for europe today and good results from our discussions yesterday. entertain dan with linker white as have the 1st question. transfer this morning, you left with an exchange, give him the woman to our where do you see different opinions, services agreements with him? a call, as far as european reforms of concerned, one dispute round the french one nuclear energy could be seen as removal,
