TunisiaRemarks by President von der Leyen at the joint press conference with President Michel on the EU response to the coronavirus crisis
Bonjour à tout le monde,
Toute l’Union européenne, et de nombreux autres pays en Europe et dans le monde, sont dans une forme de confinement. Les mesures restrictives prises par les États membres ont été cruciales pour réduire le nombre de nouvelles infections. Cela a aidé nos systèmes de santé à faire face, mais ces mesures ont un prix énorme.
[…] On the health side, the key element is to cooperate and to improve our pandemic preparedness. And this includes how to accelerate the work on diagnostics, on treatments and on the development of a vaccine. And if we have a vaccine, when we have a vaccine, then on the deployment of the vaccine all over the world. This is our collective best shot at beating the virus.To support this global initiative, funding is needed. And to this end, I decided to host an online pledging conference on 4 May. This will help address the immediate funding gaps to come up with innovative and equitable solutions.
[…] The Eurogroup concluded that ‘the next EU MFF will play a central role in the EU economic recovery’. Ich stimme dem voll und ganz zu. Ich habe öfter bereits gesagt, dass Europa einen Marshallplan braucht. Wir werden massive öffentliche und private Investitionen brauchen um die Wirtschaft wieder zu beleben, aufzubauen und um neue Arbeitsplätze zu schaffen und diese Investitionen müssen rasch kommen.
