ELCOME ADDRESS

Welcome address by Mr Lars-Christian BRASK, Deputy Speaker of the Danish

Folketing

In his welcome address Mr BRASK welcomed the chairs of the European Affairs Committees

gathered at the Danish

Folketing.

He presented the seven interparliamentary conferences to be

hosted by the

Folketing

during the Parliamentary dimension of the Danish Presidency of the

Council of the European Union, noting that these reflect Denmark’s key priorities. Among

these, Mr BRASK emphasized the unwavering support for Ukraine and boosting European

security and defense. He particularly expressed his satisfaction with the presence of Ms Ivanna

KLYMPUSH-TSINTSADZE at the Meeting of the Chairpersons of COSAC, and underlined

that Europe must continue to be a trusted ally to Ukraine. Continuing, Mr BRASK also

welcomed the presence of delegations from several EU candidate countries, as he emphasised

EU enlargement as a key driver of long-term European security for all Europeans. Mr BRASK

proceeded to present additional Danish priorities, linking them to the topics that would be

discussed at the upcoming interparliamentary conferences. Among the priorities mentioned

were the next long-term EU budget and how to finance a more ambitious Europe, ready to

deliver on present and future challenges. Mr BRASK furthermore mentioned Europe’s

competitiveness with a focus on innovation, simplifying rules and strengthening businesses to

compete internationally. Mr BRASK also underscored the green transition as a major topic for

several of the conferences. In that regard he highlighted boosting the production and

infrastructure of affordable green energy, as he saw this as the basis for the green transition,

for security of energy supply and for European competitiveness. Moreover, on the green

transition he highlighted new bio-solutions and plant-based foods, and their support for the

green transition of the European agri-food sector. Finally, Mr BRASK addressed the topic of

digitalisation and finding the balance between regulating and innovating.

Mr BRASK concluded his welcome address by declaring the Parliamentary dimension of the

Danish Presidency officially opened, and hoped he would be able to welcome the Chairs and

their colleagues to the upcoming interparliamentary conferences.

Opening speech by Ms Brigitte KLINTSKOV JERKEL, Chair of the European Affairs

Committee of the Danish

Folketing

In her opening speech Ms KLINTSKOV JERKEL initially also took the opportunity to

welcome the chairs of the European Affairs Committees to the Danish

Folketing.

A special

welcome was addressed to chairs attending COSAC for the first time, namely Ms Saara-Sofia

SIREN from Finnish

Eduskunta,

Ms Edite ESTRELA from Portuguese

Assembleia da

República

and Ms Diana STOICA from Romanian

Camera Deputatilor.

Ms KLINTSKOV JERKEL proceeded by outlining the agenda of the meeting. The meeting

presented, firstly, an opportunity to discuss the Danish Presidency’s priorities with the Danish

Minister of European Affairs, Ms Marie BJERRE. Ms KLINTSKOV JERKEL highlighted a

few of these priorities, mentioning security, competitiveness, and the green transition and

climate targets; for the latter, she argued that Europe should show global leadership. Ms

KLINTSKOV JERKEL also emphasised the changing geopolitical landscape, with among

other challenges the wars in both the Middle East and Ukraine. To find good solutions to these

challenges, Europe needs to walk the talk, Ms KLINTSKOV JERKEL stated. She emphasised

that Denmark would do everything in its power to pursue these goals.

Ms KLINTSKOV JERKEL then moved on to speak of the second session concerning Ukraine

and European Security and Defence, where Mr Troels LUND POULSEN (Deputy Prime

Minister and Minister of Defence), Ms Marie-Agnes STRACK-ZIMMERMANN (Chair of the

Committee of Security and Defence of the European Parliament) and Ms Ivanna KLYMPUSH-

TSINTSADZE (Chair of the European Affairs Committee of the Ukrainian

Verkhovna Rada)

would be keynote speakers. Ms KLINTSKOV JERKEL noted that the fall of the Soviet Union

did not lead to lasting peace on the European continent, as many had hoped. Ms KLINTSKOV

JERKEL underscored that Russia’s attack on Ukraine was an attack on all of Europe and on

European values, and that Russia’s hybrid war – including the activities of the so-called

shadow fleet aimed to circumvent sanctions – continued to be problematic. With that Ms

KLINTSKOV JERKEL emphasised the need for Europe to stand together, insisting on a union

based on democracy and fundamental values as human rights. In relation to that, she mentioned

enlargement as a geopolitical necessity.

Ms KLINTSKOV JERKEL concluded her speech by stating that the question of the future of

the EU had never been more important, and that she in that regard looked forward to fruitful

discussions.

ROCEDURAL ISSUES AND MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS

Ms KLINTSKOV JERKEL informed delegations of the meeting of the presidential Troika the

preceding day. She informed the delegations that the Troika had expressed its support for the

agendas of the COSAC meetings during the Danish Presidency, and for the planned Bi-annual

Report. She had also informed the Troika about the letters received by the Presidency.

The next point on the agenda was the adoption of the agenda of the Meeting of the Chairpersons

of COSAC, which the COSAC Secretariat had distributed. There were no remarks or

comments, and the agenda was thereby adopted. Following the adoption of the agenda of the

Meeting of the Chairpersons the next point was a discussion of the draft agenda of the LXXIV

COSAC Plenary to take place from 30 November to 2 December 2025. Ms KLINTSKOV

JERKEL presented each session and who the Danish Parliament had invited as keynote

speakers in that regard. She also informed the delegations of which keynote speakers had

already confirmed their presence. There were no remarks or comments, and the draft agenda

was thereby accepted.

Another item of the procedural issues was the approval of the draft outline of the 44th Bi-

Annual Report of COSAC. Ms KLINTSKOV JERKEL informed the delegations of the topics

of the 44th Bi-annual Report. The first topic was national Parliaments’ challenges when it

comes to ensuring proper parliamentary control of EU proposals adopted by urgency

procedures. This would include a mapping of the resources which national Parliaments have

set aside to process EU legislation and files. The second topic concerned access to EU

documents by national Parliaments. The third topic of the 44th Bi-Annual Report of COSAC

would look at the possibility to strengthen political dialogue with the Commission through the

so-called green card initiative. Ms KLINTSKOV JERKEL informed delegations that the

questionnaire would be sent out on 7 July and proposed a deadline for responses on 15

September. There were no comments or remarks and the outline of the 44th Bi-annual Report

of COSAC was thereby adopted.

A further procedural issue was the appointment of the Permanent Member of the COSAC

Secretariat for the period 2026-2027. Ms KLINTSKOV JERKEL informed the delegations

about a proposal from the Danish Presidency to reform the co-financing of the Permanent

Member of COSAC which had been discussed at the Troika meeting the day before. She

thanked the Troika members for their constructive remarks on the matter. The Danish

Folketing

therefore proposed that in the future the national Parliaments should go from half to full co-

financing of the Permanent Member of the COSAC Secretariat, as was already the case with

the joint funding of the IPEX Officer. The Danish

Folketing

aimed at this proposal going into

force either 1 January 2026 or 1 January 2027. She elaborated that the Swedish

Riksdag

would

not extend Mr Jakob SJÖVALL, as the current Permanent member of the COSAC Secretariat,

EUU, Alm.del - 2024-25 - Bilag 623: Referat fra COSAC-formandsmøde og Trojka-møde 3-4/7-25 i København

under the current financing arrangements. The Danish

Folketing

and the Swedish

Riksdag

had

therefore agreed to split the cost for seconding Mr SJÖVALL for the year of 2026 if the new

financial agreement was not endorsed before 1 January 2026.

Finally, Ms KLINTSKOV JERKEL announced that a letter on the procedure of the

appointment of the Permanent Member of the COSAC Secretariat and the proposal of a new

co-financing mechanism would be sent shortly after the end of the COSAC Chairpersons

meeting. She concluded by stating that the Danish Presidency would initiate a dialogue with

the Troika and the Secretariat to discuss the most effective way forward.

The final procedural issue was the letters received. Ms KLINTSKOV JERKEL informed

delegations of letters received from Norway, Iceland, the UK House of Lords, and Switzerland

regarding participation in the COSAC Chairpersons meeting. The letters had been consulted

with the Troika and the requests had been accepted. Furthermore, Ms KLINTSKOV JERKEL

informed that, in line with the actions of the preceding Polish Presidency, and after consultation

with the Troika, the Danish

Folketing

had decided to not invite representatives from the

Georgian

Sakartvelos p’arlament’i

to participate in COSAC. In response to this, a letter had

been sent to the Presidency from the Georgian

Sakartvelos p’arlament’i.

Following the letters

of participation, Ms KLINTSKOV JERKEL informed the delegations of a letter received from

the chairs of the European Affairs Committees of the French

Assemblée nationale

and

Sénat

regarding a proposal to change the COSAC Rules of Procedures. The Danish

Folketing

welcomed the proposal from France and agreed that there was a need for greater clarity on the

voting procedures on proposed amendments to draft COSAC contributions, and would

therefore put the topic on the agenda at the LXXIV COSAC.

Mr Jean-François RAPIN of the French

Sénat

took the floor to briefly explain that the letter

sent jointly by him and Mr Pieyre-Alexandre ANGLADE of the French

Assamblée Nationale

was prompted by a development discernible over the last few years. Since the last Belgian

Presidency, a larger number of amendments to the draft COSAC contributions had been

proposed by delegations, but these were often been rejected on account of the high threshold

of a three quarters majority to accept proposed amendments. A lower threshold of two thirds

majority, as proposed in the letter, would be more democratic, Mr RAPIN argued.

Mr Giulio TERZI DI SANT’ AGATA of the Italian

Senato della Repubblica

also took the floor

to express his support for the French letter, underlining that it presented an opportunity to

simplify procedures and improve the dynamism of the meetings.

NION

The session was chaired by Ms Brigitte KLINTSKOV JERKEL, Chair of the European Affairs

Committee of the Danish

Folketing.

The session began with a keynote speech by Ms Marie BJERRE, Minister for European Affairs

of Denmark.

In her speech, Ms BJERRE outlined the political priorities of the Danish Presidency of the

Council of the European Union, emphasizing the need for a stronger Europe capable of

defending itself, competing globally and maintaining robust democracies in a rapidly changing

world. She highlighted the importance of finding common ground amid global challenges such

as war and trade conflicts, focusing on creating a secure Europe and a competitive and green

Europe as core goals. In her intervention, Ms BJERRE underlined the

imperative for Europe

to assume responsibility for its own and Euro-Atlantic security and advocated strengthening

the European defence industry, supporting Ukraine's fight for peace and freedom, intensifying

sanctions on Russia and managing irregular migration at external borders. She also

pointed to

the significance of merit-based enlargement of the EU, especially with Ukraine but also with

Moldova and the Western Balkans, as crucial for augmenting the Union’s geopolitical strength.

In addition, she emphasized

that Denmark will work on enhancing Europe's competitiveness,

which improves conditions for businesses while simultaneously driving growth through the

green transition necessary to combat climate change.

During the following debate, 29 speakers took the floor.

All Parliaments/Chambers voiced their strong support for the Danish Presidency priorities as

they addressed the key challenges facing the EU. Most of the speakers underlined the

importance of increasing investment in the EU’s defence sector and called for continued

support to Ukraine. Some speakers noted that, although their countries were not members of

NATO, this did not mean they were neutral on Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. Various

interventions called for additional sanctions against Russia and to counter hybrid threats

originating in this country, such as the so-called shadow fleet in the Baltic Sea or disinformation

campaigns undermining democratic systems. Some speakers underlined that advancing the

green transition and the use of renewable energies would be favourable not only for economic

competitiveness but also for security, as it would reduce the dependency on external energy

sources.

There was also support for the Presidency’s focus on increasing the EU’s economic

competitiveness, while some speakers underlined that this should not be equated with

deregulation. Various interventions also contained remarks that investment in defence should

not come at the expense of social protection, regional cohesion or the fight against climate

EUU, Alm.del - 2024-25 - Bilag 623: Referat fra COSAC-formandsmøde og Trojka-møde 3-4/7-25 i København

change. In this regard, most speakers called on the next Multiannual Financial Framework

2028-2034 to be endowed with the necessary resources to address both traditional and

emerging priorities. Tackling irregular migration - notably in the Mediterranean region - and

defending the Schengen area were also mentioned as important priorities. EU enlargement was

presented by numerous participants - including those from candidate countries - as a

geopolitical imperative and an investment in security, but it was also underlined that

enlargement should remain a merit-based process. The situation in Gaza and the Middle East,

as well as geopolitical competition in the Arctic region, were also mentioned as important

elements in the international context facing the Danish Presidency.

ECURITY AND

EFENCE

The session was chaired by Mr Henrik MØLLER, Vice-Chair of the European Affairs

Committee of the Danish

Folketing.

The session began with a keynote speech given by Mr Troels LUND POULSEN, Danish

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, followed by Ms Marie-Agnes STRACK-

ZIMMERMANN, Chair of the Committee of Security and Defence of the European

Parliament, and finally Ms Ivanna KLYMPUSH-TSINTSADZE, Chair of the European Affairs

Committee of the Ukrainian

Verkhovna Rada.

EUU, Alm.del - 2024-25 - Bilag 623: Referat fra COSAC-formandsmøde og Trojka-møde 3-4/7-25 i København

Mr LUND POULSEN opened by emphasising the urgency of the European security situation,

particularly in light of Russia’s continued aggression. He underlined that supporting Ukraine

remains a top priority for Denmark and called for stronger, long-term EU military support. He

mentioned that Denmark had already provided 26 military aid packages totalling €9 billion and

is advancing innovative support mechanisms - the “Danish Model,” which directly funds

Ukraine’s defence industry. He highlighted Ukraine’s rapid increase in production capacity and

stressed the need for further investment, calling on EU countries to contribute. He introduced

a new initiative — the “Danish Model 2.0” — which will invite Ukrainian defence companies

to begin production in Denmark, enhancing both Ukraine’s and Europe’s capabilities. Mr

LUND POULSEN also stressed the importance of strengthening European defence

infrastructure by 2030, improving joint procurement, and reducing dependency on external

partners. He affirmed continued support for NATO and the transatlantic alliance but

emphasised that Europe must assume greater responsibility for its own defence. In closing, he

called for urgent, united action to support Ukraine — not only as a moral duty, but as a strategic

necessity for Europe’s future security.

Ms STRACK-ZIMMERMANN highlighted the outcomes of recent defence summits in The

Hague and Brussels: a commitment to increase defence spending and strengthen cooperation

via NATO and EU structures. She underscored that Ukraine's security was inseparable from

European security. She warned that time was running out as recent attacks marked a new level

of escalation on multiple Ukrainian cities while Putin’s statements revealed his imperial

ambitions. Ms STRACK-ZIMMERMANN stressed the urgent need to provide Ukraine with

air defence systems and ammunition, as well as the importance of strengthening sanctions

against Russia. She voiced concern about European companies still conducting business in or

with Russia and called for accountability. She emphasised integrating Ukraine into the EU’s

defence initiatives and welcomed progress on the European Defence Industry Programme,

NATO capability priorities, and the EU rearmament plan. The SAFE instrument, the Defence

Omnibus, and the next MFF should form a strategic package aimed at building a capable, united

European defence system. She underlined that strengthening EU defence must not come at the

expense of democratic oversight - parliaments must play a central role. Ms STRACK-

ZIMMERMANN called for long-term flagship defence projects and the end of fragmentation

and duplication. She stressed that no EU country can defend itself alone — only collective

action can ensure European security. Concluding, she announced the first interparliamentary

meeting of national defence committees this autumn in the European Parliament in Brussels,

to review progress and coordinate future action — with a special invitation to Ukrainian

parliamentarians.

Ms KLYMPUSH-TSINTSADZE opened her speech by thanking the Danish EU Presidency

for placing the topic of Ukraine at the centre of their parliamentary agenda and expressed deep

gratitude for Denmark’s leadership and the continued support from European nations. She

emphasized that Ukraine is currently at a critical juncture, facing an intensifying Russian

EUU, Alm.del - 2024-25 - Bilag 623: Referat fra COSAC-formandsmøde og Trojka-møde 3-4/7-25 i København

assault. Just the night before, Ukraine endured a 12.5-hour air raid with over 550 air targets

launched against civilian cities, including Kyiv. She warned that despite Ukraine’s ongoing

struggle and resilience, international support had begun to decline. This shift was due in part

to misleading narratives suggesting that "anything is better than war." Ms KLYMPUSH-

TSINTSADZE rejected this notion, stressing that Russian occupation of Ukrainian territory

would not bring peace but rather oppression, suffering, and the erosion of fundamental

freedoms. She underscored that allowing Russia to succeed would embolden its aggression

against other European countries. She pointed to the growing disparity between NATO's

defensive capacity and Russia’s military output, noting that NATO countries produce fewer

munitions in a year than Russia does in three months. With the U.S. scaling back its

engagement, she appealed directly to Europe, urging EU Member States to take greater

responsibility. Ms KLYMPUSH-TSINTSADZE called for an immediate scale-up in defence

production and direct investment in Ukraine’s defence industry, citing Denmark’s support

model as a best practice. She welcomed the release of the second tranche of windfall profits

from frozen Russian assets but stressed the urgency of swift implementation. Furthermore, she

emphasized that sanctions against Russia must be strengthened, noting that every euro spent

on Russian goods today funds further aggression. She stated clearly that Ukraine is not only

defending its own territory but also acting as Europe’s shield against authoritarian expansion.

Victory, she argued, is still possible—but only with material commitment, political courage,

and a shared understanding that this is Europe’s war too. She concluded by affirming that

Ukraine seeks peace more than anyone but will never accept a “just peace” that rewards the

aggressor. True peace must come through strength. Ukraine must win this war - not just for its

own survival and democracy, but for the security and future of all of Europe. She called on

European leaders to match Ukraine’s determination with unwavering support. She concluded

with an announcement that she would soon send an invitation to the chairpersons of COSAC

to visit Kyiv.

During the following debate, 31 speakers took the floor.

In the debate, members discussed how to strengthen Europe’s security and defence amid

ongoing current geopolitical tensions, particularly in light of the war in Ukraine. Many

emphasised the urgent need for steady military support for Ukraine, with a focus on making

EU support long-term and coordinated by the united effort by all member states. It was

highlighted in many interventions that peace in Ukraine equals peace in Europe and that no

single country could cope with this challenging situation on their own. Furthermore, several

speakers advocated deeper cooperation between NATO and the EU, mentioning the so-called

Berlin-plus framework, to ensure a cohesive strategy for European defence. There was a broad

agreement on the need to expand cooperative military capabilities and empower national

parliaments in defence decision-making processes. Some speakers called for closer monitoring

of the situation of the shadow fleet, which nowadays directly threatens the Baltic Sea area and

countries bordering it. The need for enlargement was also mentioned as an alternative to the

EUU, Alm.del - 2024-25 - Bilag 623: Referat fra COSAC-formandsmøde og Trojka-møde 3-4/7-25 i København

growing Euroscepticism in some candidate countries. Speakers also highlighted the need for a

stronger role for national parliaments and more active legislative and budgetary engagement in

security affairs, notably concerning an increase in defence spending.
