EPC Thought Leadership Forum with Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann
Speaker: Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, Chair of the Security and Defence Committee, European Parliament
Moderator: Maria Martisiute, Policy Analyst, European Policy Centre
Amid rising Russian threats and a profound shift in US policy regarding European security, the European Union has the opportunity to make a key contribution to the future of European security and defence. The role of the European Parliament’s Committee on Security and Defence (SEDE) is critical in building Europe’s technological and industrial base and forging closer ties with industry and citizens. This event commenced with a keynote speech by Ms. Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann.
The discussion then focused on the role of SEDE in strengthening the EU’s approach to military and political challenges affecting Europe, the war in Ukraine, and shifting US priorities. The discussion also covered the role of Germany and what more could be done to stop Putin’s aggression.
This event is part of the EPC Thought Leadership Forum on defence and security, an exclusive series that brings together top decision-makers for a frank conversation about the most pressing challenges and opportunities facing Europe today.
