MEPs emphasize the importance of maintaining the Arctic region governed by international law and call for a robust EU security-oriented strategy to address growing geopolitical competition, military build-up, and environmental challenges. They stress the need for EU-US cooperation to counter Russian and Chinese influence, protect critical infrastructure, and promote partnership with Arctic countries. The application of international law, involvement of indigenous peoples, and urgency in climate change adaptation are highlighted as key priorities. The EU's strategy for the Arctic must navigate these complex dynamics to ensure regional stability and security.
