The meeting will begin with President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen providing the EU leaders with a status report on vaccination in the Member States.
The heads of state and government will then exchange experiences of the ongoing efforts to vaccinate at-risk groups – and in due course everyone in the Member States – against COVID-19. The work to produce and distribute a vaccine, and how it will be deployed, is another topic that will likely be raised at the meeting.
The EU leaders will also discuss the issue of a possible vaccine certificate for those who wish to travel and vaccine cooperation with countries outside the EU.
Prime Minister Stefan Löfven will represent Sweden at the meeting.
