(January 2025 )
The policy priorities of the second von der Leyen Commisison were initially outlined in the 30-page "Political Guidelines for the Next European Commission 2024–2029" document that Ursula von der Leyen published in July 2024.[ 169] The seven priority areas are:
A new plan for Europe’s sustainable prosperity and competitiveness A new era for European defence and security Supporting people, strengthening our societies and our social model Sustaining our quality of life: Food security, water and nature Protecting our democracy, upholding our values A global Europe: Leveraging our power and partnerships Delivering together and preparing our Union for the future As an important cross-cutting priority area, the Commission also put increasing emphasis on streamlining regulations and cuttingRed tape , even if similar attempts to reduce "administrative burdens" had regularly featured in the EU agenda in the 1990s onwards.[ 170] However, this time these efforts were further intensified and turned into omnibus directives that targeted recently intiated EU rules in the field of corporate sustainability and responsibility rules.[ 171]
European Green Deal [ edit ] TheEuropean Green Deal , approved in 2020, is a set of policy initiatives by the von der Leyen Commission with the overarching aim of making the European Unionclimate neutral in 2050.[ 172] In November 2024, Vice-President for Clean, Just and Competitive Transition,Teresa Ribera , expressed support for the European Green Deal and thegreen transition .[ 173] She said in an interview withEl País : "Ursula von der Leyen has given me a vice presidency: It's a signal that [the green agenda] remains a priority. Environmental transition is one of the great engines of the approaching economic and industrial transformation."[ 174] In December 2024, Ribera warned that the Commission would not postpone theban on the sale of combustion engine cars in the EU after 2035.[ 175]
On 26 February 2025, the Commission announced a collection of measures backed by 100 billion euros ($104.94 billion) to support EU-madeclean manufacturing , called theClean Industrial Deal .[ 176] [ 177] Ribera said that "By 2030, the EU’s renewable targets alone will generate over 3.5 million new jobs in the renewable sector. But this transition means change — some sectors will need to face challenging circumstances."[ 178]
On 2 July 2025, the Commission proposed a new climate target for 2040, aiming for a 90% reduction in netgreenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990 levels.[ 179]
According to a study by scientists atUtrecht University published on 24 August 2025, theAtlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) could start to collapse from the 2060s.[ 180] Thecollapse of the AMOC would be a severe climate catastrophe, resulting in a cooling of the Northern Hemisphere.[ 181] European Climate CommissionerWopke Hoekstra described the findings as a "wake-up call".[ 182] In August 2025, Teresa Ribera suggested that AMOC should be "added to the list of national security acronyms in Europe" given the serious consequences of AMOC’s collapse.[ 183]
Ursula von der Leyen ,Kaja Kallas and US Vice PresidentJD Vance at theAI Action Summit in Paris on 11 February 2025In November 2024, the candidate for the post of High Representative for Foreign Policy,Kaja Kallas , stated that thePeople's Republic of China must pay a "higher cost" forits support of the Russian invasion of Ukraine .[ 184] In February 2025, Kallas again condemned China,[ 185] saying that "Without China’s support, Russia would not be able to continue its military aggression with the same force. China is the largest provider of dual-use goods and sensitive items that sustain Russia’s military-industrial base and that are found on the battlefield in Ukraine."[ 186]
On 20 February 2025, Kallas expressed doubts about US PresidentDonald Trump 's attempts tonegotiate a peace deal in the Russia-Ukraine war , warning that "if we are giving everything on the plate to the aggressor, it sends a signal to all the aggressors in the world that you can do this."[ 187]
European CommissionerHadja Lahbib with Syrian PresidentAhmed al-Sharaa in Damascus, Syria, 17 January 2025 On 24 February 2025, Kallas met with Israeli Foreign MinisterGideon Sa'ar in Brussels for the first formal talks between Israel and the EU since theGaza war .[ 188] The European Commission rejected a request from Ireland and Spain to review theEU–Israel Association Agreement .[ 189]
In January 2025, European CommissionerHadja Lahbib met with Syrian PresidentAhmed al-Sharaa , the leader of the Sunni Islamist groupHay'at Tahrir al-Sham .[ 190] On 8 March 2025, theEEAS condemned attacks "by pro-Assad elements" on Syrian government forces duringclashes in western Syria .[ 191] On 17 March 2025, the European Union pledged €2.5 billion in aid for theSyrian transitional government .[ 192]
Ursula von der Leyen with Chinese Foreign MinisterWang Yi in Brussels, 4 July 2025 In a meeting with Kaja Kallas in July 2025, Chinese Foreign MinisterWang Yi said that China does not want Russia to lose the war in Ukraine.[ 193] According to European diplomats, China is concerned that the United States would focus more on Asia once the conflict in Europe ends.[ 194] [ 195]
On 15 July 2025, Kallas and the foreign ministers of the EU member states decided not to take any action against Israel over allegedIsraeli war crimes in the Gaza war andsettler violence in theWest Bank .[ 196] The proposed sanctions against Israel included suspending the EU-Israel Association Agreement, suspending visa-free travel, or blocking imports from Israeli settlements.[ 197] Israel considered the EU's decision not to impose sanctions on Israel as a diplomatic victory.[ 198] Palestinian Foreign MinisterVarsen Aghabekian criticized the decision, saying, "It’s shocking and disappointing, because everything is crystal clear. ... The whole world has been seeing what is happening in Gaza. The killing, the atrocities, the war crimes."[ 197]
In September 2025, US President Trump asked the EU to impose 100 % tariffs on China andIndia to punish them for buying Russian oil and de facto financing Russia's invasion of Ukraine.[ 199] [ 200] Kaja Kallas voiced support for strengthening trade and security relations between theEU and India , but criticized India's close cooperationwith Russia , including India's participation in theZapad 2025 military exercise.[ 201]
On 4 March 2025, Ursula von der Leyen announced the EU's €800 billion ($840 billion) defence investment plan "ReArm Europe ".[ 202] [ 203] She suggested that the European Union might need to ease its fiscal rules regardingnational debt to facilitate increased defense spending by member states.[ 204]
Von der Leyen with US PresidentDonald Trump in Scotland, 27 July 2025 In May 2025,Qatar threatened to haltLNG deliveries to Europe if the European Union continued withproposed regulations linking trade to human rights and environmental standards.[ 205] [ 206]
On 27 July 2025, the United States and the European Union concluded a trade agreement, providing for 15%tariffs on European exports.[ 207] The deal was announced by US PresidentDonald Trump and Ursula von der Leyen, atTurnberry , Scotland.[ 208] European states committed to $750 billion inenergy purchases and $600 billion in additional investments in the United States.[ 209]
In February 2025, Polish Prime MinisterDonald Tusk told Ursula von der Leyen that Poland would not implement the EU Migration Pact, i.e. the mandatory relocation of 30,000 asylum seekers or the payment of €600 million, and recalled that Poland had accepted a large number ofUkrainian refugees .[ 210]
In March 2025, Poland suspended the right to apply for asylum at theBelarus-Poland border , with the European Commission supporting Poland's move.[ 211]
Multiannual Financial Framework 2028-34 [ edit ] On 16 July 2025, the Commission proposed a draft of the Multiannual Financial Framework for the years 2028-34, reorganizing its structure into four pillars (National and regional partnership plans, Competitiveness Fund, Global Europe Fund and European public administration) and increasing the overall spending as a percent of gross national income of the member states combined from 1.05% to 1.26%. The Commission also included new sources of EU's own revenues in the draft budget.[ 212]
