Meeting with Tusk and speech to students

Earlier the same day, the president of the European Parliament met with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk. After the talks, she stressed the need to reduce barriers to economic development, strengthen Europe’s competitiveness and security, and continue support for Ukraine.

During a conversation with students at the Warsaw School of Economics, Metsola said that differences between EU member states had not been sufficiently taken into account when determining the pace of the climate transition.
