Strengthen Hamburg's role in the EU and the Baltic region

The SPD wants to keep a pro-European course, use Hamburg's participation rights in the EU, and attract more European funding. Ties to the Baltic Sea region and European exchange are to be expanded.

The SPD wants Hamburg to have a say in Europe. The city should get more EU funding. Hamburg should work more closely with cities on the Baltic Sea. Young people should find it easier to join exchange programs.

Successes with the research program Horizon Europe are to be carried over to environmental and climate programs; more European funding is also sought for science. Hamburg is to become more visible as a hub in European transport networks, with the Fehmarnbelt tunnel and its hinterland links seen as a major European project. The SPD wants to combine industrial transformation for climate protection with preserving economic strength. Youth exchange and international study are to become better known and more accessible. The benefits of EU projects for Hamburg are to be communicated more, and city partnerships will continue.
