Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs

EU Council Presidency: German Ambassador to Ireland and Portuguese Ambassador to Ireland

H.E. Ms Deike Potzel:

A question was asked about burden sharing and whether that is something the German population would rally behind as an idea. In a single word, the answer is "Yes". There is definitely a sentiment in Germany that we need a European answer and that sharing and support for the front-line states are very important. Everybody needs to be on board and every European Union member state has an obligation to help and support in this.
