From 1 July to 31 December 2025, Denmark will hold the Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
Recognising rising global competition, the Danish Presidency emphasises that the green transition and life sciences must be tightly interwoven with competitiveness policy. Reforms will boost sustainable growth, with climate, energy, and health driving EU competitiveness.
The Presidency’s top priority is securing agreement on the pharmaceutical package to improve patient access, stimulate innovation, and streamline regulation. It will also advance the critical medicines proposal to strengthen supply chains and reduce dependency on non-EU sources.
