Hello, good evening.

The European Council finished its meeting a few minutes ago.

Tonight I'm pleased to welcome on stage António Costa, the President of the European Council,

and Madam Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, who will report on the outcomes of today's meeting.

After that, we will have the time to take some questions.

Tonight, President Costa will speak in French, so make sure you have your headset at hand in case you, you need them. President Costa, you have the floor.
