europe does not restrict our room for maneuver in a globalized world europe gives us more room for maneuver it is only with europe that we can maintain our freedoms. and so more than ever before we need to focus on fundamental rights we need to mutual assistance and support solidarity a community spirit of europe will only be safeguarded if we offer innovative responses to the challenges of climate change digitalize asian and our responsibility in the world those are the huge challenges facing us but i am confident look back at the various tests and trials that europe has already overcome the failed to treaty the constitutional treaty 15 years ago the economic and financial crisis and the tough battles we have there nor the mass movement of refugees 5 years ago it's never been easy in there have always been moments of heart but the most bitter prices have helped us to listen to better understand the needs and concerns of others we have learnt together europe has overcome all these prices. because at the end of the day everyone is aware of what is in valuable fundamental rights and cohesion.

you know that many member states in europe are involved in the transatlantic partnership but europe needs to rely here on itself we need to be able to decide the future of europe in this rapidly changing world we need to decide whether we take europe seriously whether we want so europe's identity to be safeguarded in times of crisis so we need strong european foreign and security policy now one key partner will remain the united kingdom we need to shape our future relationship and that would keep us busy over the next 6 months progress in negotiations thus far have been. to put it to diplomatically we've agreed with the united kingdom to accelerate the pace of talks to reach an agreement by autumn an agreement that can be ratified by the end of the year i will continue to push for a good solution but we should also prepare for a possible new deal scenario. during our presidency we need to do everything within our power to focus on 3 further foreign policy goals firstly on accession conferences we need to engage in talks with north macedonia and albania so that the western balkans accessio

italians that do not understand europe or don't trust europe.needs to happen over the next one to two years so that we don't fall into the hands of another breakup of the euro? i think forknow, italy there is no more room for mistakes at the european level. in the last 10 years, two big mistakes. the way in which the euro crisis was managed 10 years ago and the problems with italy, and maybe the most damage with public opinion, the way the refugee crisis was managed. today i don't see any more room for mistakes. this is why i think what europe needs until now and the last .onths is very positive what is very important is to continue and to be sure that this announcement will become reality. and the announcement of public plansn, euros, and europe are not just announcements for the media, but this announcement normalizedreality, people in the streets. otherwise frustration will substitute the present trust because in the last months, i think there is a recovery of trust. march is a horrible month with the polls against europe raising in italy. i
