Summary/Abstract: In the coalition agreement unveiled on 24 November, the Social Democrats, Liberals, and Greens express resolute support for closer European integration. The new government will likely be more active than outgoing Chancellor Angela Merkel’s cabinet in initiating and shaping community decisions. The coalition announced ambitious climate policy and support for boosting the EU’s strategic sovereignty and establishing new sources of revenue. The prospect for a deal between the Union’s northern and southern members on reform of fiscal rules has improved.
