Report on the Polish Presidency of the EU Council: Security, Europe! (January-June 2025)

This report summarizes the Polish government's activities during its presidency of the Council of the European Union in the first half of 2025. The focus was on strengthening security in seven key areas: defense, borders, economy, energy, food, health, and information. For citizens, this means tangible benefits such as simplified regulations for businesses, stronger border protection against illegal migration, actions towards lower energy prices, and new investments in European defense, including the protection of the eastern border.
Key points
Strengthening defense: Loans for joint arms purchases (€150 billion) were launched, and countries were facilitated to increase military spending, improving the security of the entire EU, including Poland.
Simplifications for businesses: Sustainability reporting obligations were postponed and simplified, giving entrepreneurs more time and reducing bureaucracy.
Border security and migration: Work began on more efficient returns of illegal migrants and the protection of the EU's external borders was strengthened, including against the instrumentalization of migration by Belarus and Russia.
Energy security: A plan for a complete phase-out of Russian gas imports by the end of 2027 was adopted, and mandatory filling of gas storage facilities before winter was extended, stabilizing supply and prices.
Support for farmers: Regulations were developed to strengthen the position of farmers in the food supply chain and protect them from unfair trading practices, aiming to stabilize their incomes.
Children's mental health: Recommendations were adopted for EU countries on protecting the mental health of children and adolescents from the negative impact of digital technologies.
Passenger rights: New regulations were agreed upon to strengthen air passenger rights, including automatic compensation for canceled flights and better assistance in case of delays.
