This is why we will set out our ideas to make a European Security Council a reality.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Calls for such a body have been growing since Russia&#8217;s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">It was initially a French-German conception but more countries have shown support, particularly as Trump has questioned the Nato military alliance. Other nations worry such a council could unhelpfully rival Nato.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Von der Leyen said the EU was &#8220;strengthening our work with Nato&#8221; and that expanded defence spending would be &#8220;fully aligned&#8221; with the alliance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But at the core of such a security council would be the ability to trigger an emergency meeting if one member felt under threat, similar to Nato&#8217;s Article 4.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The EU chief said it would be a &#8220;mechanism to flank&#8221; Article 4, a term that could be interpreted as complementing Nato functions or &#8211; if taken in a military context &#8211; bypassing them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Alongside global threats, von der Leyen also said many European families were worried about the cost of living, and the &#8220;dizzying speed of change&#8221; of technology and its impacts on jobs and society.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Other proposals included inviting the world&#8217;s largest AI labs for talks on how to support industry efforts to pace the frontier, as well as slashing bureaucracy for businesses in the EU. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Plans to curb social media use among children, including banning platforms for under 13s, were also put forward. Under the proposal, children aged 13 to 15 would only be able to set up social media accounts which are supervised by parents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">A new emergency tool to help countries better deal with mass migration movements following the deadly influx of migrants to the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in July would also be outlined.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The pledge chimes with the message of European politicians on the right and hard right who have gained support in recent years for proposing a tougher approach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Some of them called the mass attempt to enter the EU through Ceuta an &#8220;invasion&#8221; and argued asylum rules should be suspended to deal with such a crisis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Von der Leyen said the new emergency tool would &#8220;only be triggered under a strictly defined set of criteria&#8221; and for a specific period of time, and that fundamental rights would be protected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Human rights groups worry such a move would see vulnerable people, including women and children, turned back and denied the protection afforded to them under international law.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
