Declaration by the Foreign Ministers of Germany, France, and Poland on the European Union's Future Direction

Europe is standing at a historic crossroads, aiming for new forms of coexistence that will shape its future. The success of future-proof European structures depends significantly on the cooperation between Poland, Germany, and France.

Cross-border regional cooperation is key to the future togetherness of states and their citizens, particularly between Germany and France, and Germany and Poland. The challenges of the industrial age demand answers that can only be found together in the European space.

The European Community, the core of the new Europe, will continue its integration. The united forces of the whole of Europe are necessary for the realization of democracy, prosperity, and security. The European Community's further integration will prioritize human solidarity and shared fate.

The future neighborhood structures of Europe will be developed in joint responsibility, with a focus on human solidarity and shared fate. Poland, Germany, and France bear significant responsibility for the success of these future-proof European neighborhood structures.

The North Atlantic Alliance and the Western European Union (WEU) remain crucial for Europe's stability. Close cooperation with the United States and Canada continues to be essential for Europe's security. The importance of this partnership will remain indispensable for the security of Europe.

The major groundwork for the "Charter of Paris" was prepared by the countries of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE), including the United States, the Soviet Union, and European countries. The Charter of Paris was adopted in November 1990, marking a significant step towards European unity.

The Council of Europe, as a guarantor of human rights, democracy, and the rule of law, continues to gain importance. The Council of Europe's role as a guarantor of these fundamental values is increasing in importance.

In conclusion, the success of a united Europe lies in its ability to collaborate and cooperate. The future will see Europe addressing the challenges of the industrial age together, fostering democracy, prosperity, and security, and promoting human rights, democracy, and the rule of law.
