“We faced extraordinary challenges and together we responded forcefully for the benefit of all Europeans.

“More determined action followed, and more will continue to be necessary for a long time to come.

“My great hope for 2021 is that we continue to come together and use this crisis as an opportunity to build a better, greener and a more digital future.

“But, before we get to that and before work resumes, I want to wish all of you a happy and healthy Christmas, for you and your loved ones, and a good start to the new year.”
