EU Commissioners and Ministers Discuss Key Issues in Four Thematic Areas

The College of Commissioners of the European Union convened at the Port of Limassol, as part of the Cypriot Presidency of the Council of the EU, and held discussions with Government Ministers in four thematic areas. These areas covered defense and security, the prosperity and resilience of the EU, competitiveness and digital transition, as well as values, equality, and opportunities. A bilateral meeting also took place between the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and the President of the Republic, Nikos Christodoulides. The choice of the Port of Limassol as the venue for the discussions symbolizes the importance of maritime transport for the EU and the 'Amalthea' plan to strengthen the sector's competitiveness.
