Deutsch-Französischer Ministerrat, 22 January 2023 in Paris Due to federal elections in Germany the meetings were skipped in autumn 2005, autumn 2009 and autumn 2013. Due to the presidential election and parliamentary election in France in Spring 2017, the annual council was moved to July 2017. The 2013 meeting was held on 22 January 2013 in Berlin alongside the 50th anniversary of the Élysée Treaty with a joint ministerial council and a joint parliamentary assembly of the French National Assembly and the German Bundestag at the Reichstag building in Berlin. Due to the corona crisis the meeting for 2020 was cancelled and the meeting for 2021 was held only using teleconferences. The planned meeting for 2022 in Fontainbleau was moved to 2023 at short notice as the Ukraine crisis did not allow biliteral preparations to come to consensual positions. Trivia There is no official English title of the conference as all documents are handled in French and German only. The writers of the foreign minister in Germany choose Franco-German Council of Ministers in summary notes. Reports being handed over from the working groups to the EU have chosen Franco-German Ministerial Council being a more direct (word by word) translation. The meeting themselves are referred to as the annual Franco-German Summit. Similarly the created institutions do only have official names in German and French. English names can be derived from international press briefings of the French or German government or when the institutions are referenced in documents of the European Union. There may be differences in the translations in the beginning until a common name is established.
