#EuroSim22 is over!
The negotiations were tough, everyone fought for the best result for their member state, lots of compromises were reached and EuCo agreed on a joint statement.
However, the Comission's proposal was rejected. What an end!

Thank you for all your commitment!

Estonian ambassador to the EU, Marten Kokk:
‘COMPET is in a standstill. Germany is voting against a lot of proposals, whereas other member states are abstaining. We need to be more constructive and work together with the Parliament.’

Will the proposal be passed?

Mette Frederiksen (🇩🇰) gives their support to the proposal of Spain and Slovakia: 'It's a good balance between calling out China and still paying attention to our economic interests.'

#EuroSim22

[Matthew Karnitschnig @Eurosim22_MK]

Spain and Slovakia insist on an international approach towards China. Luxembourg doubts that this will happen and therefore considers the statement meaningless.

Finland insists on a section on solidarity with the Uyghurs.

#EuroSim22

[Matthew Karnitschnig @Eurosim22_MK]

Eduard Heger: 'There is need for a compromise.'

#EuroSim22

[Matthew Karnitschnig @Eurosim22_MK]

In contrast, Spain and Slovakia's proposal, which still includes China as 'a strong economic partner ...and an important diplomatic colleague'.

Some other countries will not appreciate this.
