SOUNDBITE (English), Ursula VON DER LEYEN, President-elect of the EC, <p>It was a very constructive and positive session and meeting we have had with the Conference of Presidents. It's give me a lot of confidence and support for the next days and weeks , because it's very important to have a good understanding and working relation with the Parliament. We are focused together on the big topics we have to promote: this is the European Green Deal, a huge topic for the European  Union, but also for the globe; it is the digitalisation of the EU ; and having a stronger Union in the world, that it's very clear for its values, that is having a very clear position. This is the aim of the discussion we just started. Thank you</p>
