"Congratulations to you, Michel, for this first successful Council on your first day. There was an intense debate on the Green deal and we will become a neutral continent from 2050, it was a success and the leaders supported it" .

"We are ready, we want to be a model and lead the way", he added, speaking of a "very lively and rich debate" among the leaders, on the Green Deal."We have seen great support from the Member States and I understand that Poland needs to look more carefully at our proposal for a fair transition fund that is under the umbrella of the European investment fund and in the coming months there will be more details in the roadmap, "said Von der Leyen. "Poland needs more time to be able to examine the details but this does not change the timing of the commission".
