It is my pleasure to invite you to the meeting of the European Council which will take place in
Brussels on 23 and 24 October.
The major decision awaiting us is on the 2030 climate and energy policy framework. This is a
challenging theme requiring efforts on the part of all delegations. It is very important that the
European Union shows leadership ahead of next year's international climate negotiations and that
we adopt a framework that creates the necessary predictability for economic actors.
After our usual exchange of views with the President of the European Parliament and the family
photo, we will dedicate our first working session to the 2030 climate and energy policy framework.
It is my intention that we endeavour to complete these negotiations and adopt the relevant part of
the conclusions on Thursday. We will continue over dinner, where we will also discuss external
relations topics and in particular the fight against the Ebola outbreak in West-Africa, in the
presence of the High Representative.
