MEPs discuss the programme of Cyprus’s six-month Council Presidency, which began on 1 January, with the President of the Republic of Cyprus.

Under the banner “An Autonomous Union. Open to the World”, Cyprus will focus on strengthening the EU’s strategic autonomy while remaining firmly committed to multilateralism, international law, and global cooperation. The Council Presidency’s priorities include security and defence readiness; economic, maritime, and energy security; water resilience; migration management; and democratic resilience and crisis preparedness.

Competitiveness through regulatory simplification, completion of the single market, innovation, digital sovereignty, and the green transition are highlights of the presidency’s programme. Cyprus will also place a strong emphasis on enlargement, sustained support for Ukraine, deeper engagement with the southern neighbourhood and Gulf partners, and an open, rules-based trade policy. Finally, social and economic issues (including affordable housing), EU values, and a strong long-term Union budget for 2028–2034 will feature prominently in the presidency’s work.
