The European Council meeting on Thursday, March 19, was intended to focus on competitiveness, but the escalation of the war in the Middle East has shifted the agenda. European Council President António Costa noted that leaders will discuss the situation in Iran and the region, as well as the geopolitical and economic consequences, including energy prices and security. Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen suggested potential short-term measures to address price spikes, while Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed long-term strategies like accelerating renewable energy investment. The meeting will also address the EU's industrial competitiveness, the 'EU Inc.' initiative, and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, amid continued Hungarian opposition to aid packages and sanctions.
