Joint Declaration of the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union and the European Commission EU Legislative Priorities for 2023 and 2024
2022/C 491/01
Our Unions resolve and capacity to act are being challenged by Russias unprovoked, brutal aggression against Ukraine, marked by shocking violence and mounting evidence of war crimes. The spillover effects of Russias assault on the way of life we have long taken for granted means our citizens are feeling less stable today, less secure and less confident in the future. Despite Russias efforts to weaken and divide the Union, we remain united, resolute and deeply committed to supporting Ukraine and its people. Our efforts will include military and humanitarian aid, political and financial support, as well as continued access of Ukrainians to EU jobs, housing, education, training and healthcare under the temporary protection mechanism. We will also facilitate Ukraines access to the single market and the free roaming area, and support Ukraines rehabilitation and reconstruction. To maintain economic pressure and undermine Russias military capabilities, we will also ensure the effective and continued implementation of sanctions against Russia. We will support Ukraine and the International Criminal Court in documenting and prosecuting possible war crimes, and we will explore options so that full accountability can be ensured. The consequences of this aggression are also being felt in our immediate neighbourhood, with large numbers of persons being displaced, and globally, with dramatically increased food insecurity.
At the moment when we have just begun to recover from the pandemic and are going through the radical transformation to combat other serious challenges such as the climate and nature crises, our citizens are confronted with spiralling electricity prices and rising inflation. We are committed to common EU solutions to tackle this cost-of-living crisis for our citizens and businesses that has been compounded by the war in Ukraine. Following the REPowerEU Plan, the EU swiftly reduced its dependency on Russian energy imports by boosting alternative energy sources, savings and storage. Using our joint market power, accelerating the twin transition in the energy sector and reforming the electricity market design will provide us with structural solutions.
In this context, strong priority will be given to ensuring the sustainability of the multiannual financial framework in a new geopolitical and economic situation. We will also work towards introducing sufficient new own resources.
