EU official urges collective European strategic autonomy amid external challenges

Annika Wäppling Korzinek, head of the EU Commission's representation in Sweden, argues in an op-ed that Europe must jointly chart an independent course, signaling a push for deeper integration and strategic autonomy. The piece reflects ongoing EU-level discourse on reducing reliance on external powers, though it is an opinion piece rather than a policy announcement. It matters as a signal of institutional sentiment favoring collective European action.
