versenyképesség

A Nyugat-Balkán régió csatlakozása mind gazdasági, mind biztonsági, mind geopolitikai szempontból az Unió javát szolgálja, így támogatandó.

védelem

Az Uniónak nagyobb szerepet kell vállalnia saját biztonságának garantálásában és kiemelt hangsúlyt fektetni az európai védelmi ágazat ipari és technológiai bázisának megerősítésére.

bővítés

A tartós gazdasági növekedés feltételeinek kialakítása többek között a zöld és digitális átmenet elősegítése, illetve a munkahelyek stabilitásának és fenntarthatóságának biztosítása által.

Az illegális bevándorlás visszaszorítása érdekében elengedhetetlen az Unióval határos, és a kulcsfontosságú kibocsátó- és tranzit országokkal való szorosabb együttműködés.

migráció

A tagállamok közti és akár régiókon belüli fejlettségbeli különbségek csökkentése elengedhetetlen az unión belüli egyenlőség és egyensúly érdekében.

kohéziós politika

Egy versenyképes, válságálló és gazdabarát európai mezőgazdaság megteremtése érdekében a gazdákat érdekeltté kell tegyük a fenntarthatóbb termelési gyakorlatok alkalmazásában.

agrárpolitika

Az európai társadalmak fokozott idősödése, a szociális ellátórendszerek fenntarthatósága, illetve a munkaerőhiány mielőbbi, hatékony megoldást igényelnek.

demográfia
