A "Les Jeudis de l'Ifri" videoconférence around Eric-André MARTIN, Secretary General of the Study Committee on Franco-German Relations - Cerfa at Ifri.
The coronavirus pandemic has caused an unprecedented health crisis and economic recession in Europe. Germany, which will take over the presidency of the Council in the second semester, is criticized for its rigidity on economic and financial questions. France is pushing for greater financial solidarity and the strengthening of the EU's economic sovereignty. What are the chances of obtaining a Franco-German compromise on a European recovery plan and a shared agenda that will allow Europe to better respond to the current global challenges ?
This debate is for corporate members only. It will be conducted in French.
