GREENLAND

THE PRESIDENT – Mr Prime Minister, ladies and gentlemen, let me first thank the Greenlandese authorities for their warm welcome. And let me thank you, Madam Prime Minister, for having organized this trip a few weeks after the State visit of your king and your queen to France. (…)

In the current situation, Greenland has been put back at the centre of geopolitical challenges, and the Arctic’s peaceful, scientific calling is today under threat. Due to its strategic positioning within the Arctic region and its natural resources, the Kingdom of Denmark’s autonomous territory has become a coveted space and the focus of predatory ambitions. (…) I want to begin by sending a message of Europe’s solidarity and France’s support for Denmark, Greenland and the people of Greenland; a message of respect for your sovereignty and respect for your choices – choices on security, economic and social development and the sustainable management of natural resources; a message of support for your territorial integrity and for the inviolability of your borders, which are not negotiable.

Together with its European Union partners, France will continue to uphold its principles according to the United Nations Charter. (…) In a few words, everybody thinks – in France, in the European Union – that Greenland is not to be sold, not to be taken. We had very fruitful exchanges with Mr Prime Minister and Madam Prime Minister about strategic issues in the Arctic, and obviously security and the posture of our great challengers, Russia and China, the increasing cooperation between these two powers in the region and elsewhere, and the fact that we want to clearly stand with you in order to face these challenges. And France is ready to increase its cooperation with the seven allies of the Arctic, especially in the framework of the Arctic Council and in the framework of the NB8, the eight Nordic and Baltic countries. And clearly NATO is a place where this coordination and interoperability is seriously organized. (…)

I reminded your authorities that France is ready to do more with you in terms of security, the economy and education and to help develop concrete projects on the ground, be it hydroelectric power or other projects. I also told the two prime ministers of our proposal to open a consulate general here in Nuuk. (…) A few minutes ago we saw very clearly together the direct impact of climate change here as well. And let me tell you that, facing these challenges, we are ready as well to do much more together. The new maritime route in the new northern sea routes should be preserved, and the region should be preserved, as well, from any type of conflictuality and any type of over-exploitations by other powers. (…)

Ten years after the Paris Agreement, we see here very clearly that we have to follow up our efforts and to do much more again, together. (…) France is indeed ready to strengthen its scientific and academic cooperation, particularly with regard to studying the long-term impact of global warming in the Arctic. (…)

Finally, the European Union has also had a presence in Greenland for a long time. Europe is ready to support Greenland’s economic and social development, whether it concerns decarbonized energy, infrastructure, education, sustainable fisheries or critical raw materials. That’s the purpose of the strategic partnership signed in 2023 between the European Union and Greenland, which should enable us to develop sustainable value chains in the strategic raw materials sector; we’d now like to speed up the implementation of this project. (…)

The situation in Greenland is clearly a wake-up call for all the Europeans. And let me tell you very directly that you are not alone. And when a strategic message is sent to you, I want just for you to know that it’s clearly perceived by the Europeans as targeting a European land. And this flag you have here is our common flag. And we know our common values, and we know our long-standing choices. And this is why it’s very important for French people and all the European people to convey very clearly this message of solidarity and the fact that we stand with you now, for today and for tomorrow. (…)

Long live Greenland! Long live Denmark! Long live the friendship between Denmark and France, and long live Europe! (…)

How will this visit to Greenland affect your conversation with Donald Trump at the G7?

THE PRESIDENT – Look, I informed him about this trip, and I think it makes clear that the Europeans are ready to face the challenges we are and we have here, meaning climate change, economic development and strategic challenges, but at the same time it provides a message that we are ready, all of us, to take our responsibilities in a respectful and cooperative way. (…) And I’m optimistic, because I think there is a way forward in order to clearly build a better future in cooperation and not in provocation or confrontation. (…)

G7/UKRAINE/MIDDLE EAST

We were talking a moment ago about the G7, which gets under way in a few hours, in the middle of a war, in the middle of a conflict between Israel and Iran. What do you think the G7 countries can do? Donald Trump has said he’s open to President Putin mediating. What do you think?

THE PRESIDENT – (…) We must talk about the two major conflicts, the Middle East and Ukraine. And for me, the G7 must aim to bring everyone back together, and therefore, for Ukraine, secure as soon as possible a ceasefire that allows a robust, lasting peace to be built. So I think it’s a question of whether President Trump is prepared to put forward much tougher sanctions against Russia if it refuses to respond to the proposal he made several months ago now and which President Zelenskyy responded to in March. So this is one of the points we’ll be discussing a few days before the NATO summit. And for me, that forum is also the one in which we Europeans must re-engage with the Americans and our other Canadian and Japanese allies, whose great steadfastness and great solidarity regarding the Ukraine conflict I want to highlight here.

On the Middle East, I believe we’re all united on one position. No one wants to see Iran acquire nuclear weapons, but everyone would like the discussions and negotiations to resume. And here too, the United States of America has a genuine ability to get everyone back round the table, given that, along with the Europeans, it’s an important protagonist in any nuclear agreement, and above all, Israel’s dependence on American weapons and ammunition gives the US an ability to negotiate. I don’t believe that Russia, which is today engaged in a high-intensity conflict and has decided not to adhere to the United Nations Charter for several years now, can be a mediator in any way. I think it’s our collective responsibility to try and re-engage as soon as possible and, first of all, prevent any escalation and get all the protagonists back around the negotiating table. (…)

ISRAEL/IRAN/GAZA

On Friday you emphasized Israel’s right to defend itself; you even said that France was prepared to contribute to Israel’s defence. Can you tell us if France has helped Israel in any kind of way since Friday, and if it intends to do so in the coming days? And aren’t you afraid that by backing these Israeli strikes in Iran, France is helping to encourage a scenario similar to what we’ve experienced in Gaza, i.e. a very bloody escalation?

THE PRESIDENT – I very clearly said on Friday that France was worried about nuclear proliferation, about the IAEA’s report and Iran’s ongoing nuclear activities, and that Iran constitutes a very clear, existential threat for Israel, given what the Iranian regime is saying every day, but [also] a threat for the whole region and even us, because Iran’s activity programme, its ballistic programme and its nuclear programme are threats. But that doesn’t mean I’ve backed anything, and I also said very clearly that France didn’t take part in the operations conducted on 13 June or the following days. And I repeated that France’s position was clear and consistent.

We believe that these issues – i.e. ballistic and nuclear proliferation – must be resolved around a negotiating table in an international framework and must then lead to monitoring ensured by the relevant international agencies. So we’re calling for all parties involved to return to discussions as soon as possible and for no escalation to be carried out. We haven’t contributed to any defensive operation since then, because haven’t been asked to, and I was able to give my opinion and talk to Prime Minister Netanyahu and Iran’s President Pezeshkian yesterday, and President Trump, and convey exactly the same messages, i.e. urge a resumption of discussions as swiftly as possible on the nuclear and ballistic issue, call for all strikes to be stopped as soon as possible, wherever they come from, and resolve the issue of collective security as soon as possible.

Finally, I repeated on both Friday and Saturday to all the protagonists how what is happening today, and is obviously worrying us all a great deal in the region, mustn’t make us forget the situation in Gaza. The ceasefire is an imperative. The humanitarian situation is unacceptable. So we’ve absolutely got to secure a ceasefire, get all the hostages released and resume humanitarian aid in Gaza. (…)./.

Answer to a written question – Unjustified hike in fares for sea connections to Sicily’s smaller islands and protection of the right to mobility – E-001518/2025(ASW)

Source: European Parliament

1. Regulation (EEC) No 3577/92[1] (the regulation) opens the EU internal market to competition in domestic maritime transport (cabotage), ensuring equal access for EU shipowners. Under normal circumstances, domestic fares are typically set by private operators themselves. However, under the regulation, Member States may derogate from the freedom to provide services by imposing public service obligations and/or concluding public service contracts to ensure adequate (notably affordable) transport services. It is for each Member State to decide whether to impose public service obligations or introduce social tariff schemes for specific groups (such as students, pensioners, or persons with disabilities), if the public authorities deem that commercial prices are not adequate to ensure connectivity, such as in this case between Sicilian Islands and mainland Italy/Sicily.

2. State aid rules for services of general economic interest (such as the maritime services at hand) impose transparency requirements at various levels. First, the entrustment act governing the provisions of the services must clearly foresee the compensation mechanism and the parameters for establishing the compensation, that may include a reasonable profit. Second, for large contracts (exceeding EUR 15 million), the entrustment act as well as the annual compensation amounts must be published[2]. Finally, concerns about unjustified compensation can be reported to the Commission as potential incompatible state aid.

Answer to a written question – Safeguarding long-term cohesion policy investments – E-001657/2025(ASW)

Source: European Parliament

1. The investments targeted by the legislative proposal[1] are intended as long-term development efforts aimed at promoting economic, social and territorial cohesion.

The implementation data submitted by the Member States indicates that parts of the 2021-2027 allocations remain unallocated. The Commission expects that where Member States choose to direct resources toward the specific objectives outlined in the legislative proposal, they will mostly consider using these unallocated funds that would otherwise risk to remain unspent.

2. The indicators are defined in Article 1(7) of the legislative proposal. The proposal does not modify the existing provisions for monitoring programme implementation. The monitoring committee will continue to assess progress, including the achievement of milestones and targets related to the defence-specific objectives.

3. Investments in the thematic areas addressed by the legislative proposal were already permitted. The proposal now introduces incentives and flexibilities to accelerate their uptake.

Answer to a written question – Violation of European legislation due to discrimination in maternity leave for substitute teachers in Greece – E-001020/2025(ASW)

Source: European Parliament

EU equality legislation sets minimum standards for the protection of pregnant workers and workers who have recently given birth or are breastfeeding, including fixed term workers[1].This includes a period of maternity leave of at least 14 weeks[2].

An assessment of the implementation of this directive has not shown problems or gaps in the implementation of the directive in Greece. T he Commission does not have sufficient information to provide a detailed answer and will conduct research on the matter.

The Work-Life Balance Directive[3] provides for minimum standards regarding the duration and remuneration of parental leave in all Member States.

The Commission is currently assessing the conformity of the implementation of the directive. If it considers that the transposing legislation in a Member State does not comply with the requirements of the directive, the Commission will take the necessary action.

In relation to the potential breach of the framework Agreement on fixed-term work annexed to Council Directive 1999/70/EC[4], , the Commission is aware that Greek law contains less favourable employment conditions for fixed-term teachers working in public schools compared to permanent teachers, including differences in relation to access to maternity leave and on 25 July 2024, it decided to open an infringement procedure by sending a letter of formal notice to Greece (INFR(2024)4013)[5].

The explanations received from the Greek authorities were considered unsatisfactory and, on 7 May 2025, the Commission issued a reasoned opinion to Greece[6], which now has two months to respond and take the necessary measures.

The Commission is open for dialogue and ready to provide guidance to Member States concerning correct implementation of the EU legislation.

Answer to a written question – Information with a view to the effective and swift pursuit of the objectives set in Directive (EU) 2023/2668 on asbestos – E-001860/2025(ASW)

Source: European Parliament

As requested by Directive (EU) 2023/2668[1], the Commission will make available, by the end of 2025, guidelines to facilitate the implementation of the revised Asbestos at Work Directive.

The Commission services, when preparing the guidelines, involve a large number of relevant stakeholders including employers, workers and national authorities’ representatives, European industry associations and asbestos experts, by means of workshops, consultation rounds, on-site-pilots and case studies. For example, nearly 900 stakeholders have participated in ten workshops exchanging on different aspects of asbestos management.

The guidelines aim to cover specific topics such as risk assessment and safe removal of asbestos, as well as existing good practice examples in the different Member States.

The guidelines would present a holistic approach addressing different target groups including public and private entities and cover all relevant topics such as risk assessment, training, cleaning up and waste disposal along the asbestos lifecycle.

The Committee of Senior Labour Inspectors will carry out from 2026 until 2027 an EU-wide awareness and inspection campaign on asbestos at work.
