Extreme weather, devastating floods and ravaging wildfires.

This is the reality of a boiling planet.

The #EUGreenDeal was born out of the necessity to protect our planet. But also as an opportunity to preserve our future prosperity.

We want to support the European industry in building its model for decarbonisation.

That’s why we will hold a series of Clean Transition Dialogues.

Starting from this month.

From wind to steel,
from batteries to electric vehicles,

The future of our clean tech industry has to be made in Europe.

We will put forward a European Wind Power package

The electric vehicles sector is crucial for the clean economy.

But markets are flooded with cheaper Chinese electric cars with price artificially kept low by huge state subsidies.

This is distorting our market.

. @EU_Commission Just a thought, but maybe you should look at the huge state subsidies provided to the fossil fuel industry first?

@EU_Commission The EU could also support their own manufacturers. The US does that, too, with their Inflation Reduction Act.

Landwirtschaft und Naturschutz können zusammen gehen.

Agriculture and nature conservation can go together.
We need both.

That's why we would like to start a strategic dialogue on the future of agriculture in the EU.

Almost 40 years ago, Jacques Delors convened the Val Duchesse meeting that saw the birth of European social dialogue.

We will convene a new Social Partner Summit at Val Duchesse to focus on the challenges facing the labour market.

We want to hear directly from SMEs, about their everyday challenges.

Small companies are often held back by lengthy administrative processes.

Before the end of the year, we will appoint an EU SME envoy reporting directly to President von der Leyen.

Europe has to step up on economic security.

Many countries are overly dependent on a single supplier for critical minerals.

Later this year we will convene the first meeting of our new Critical Raw Materials Club.

Europe has now become a leader in supercomputing.

We need to capitalise on this.

This is why we announce today a new initiative to open up our high-performance computers to AI start-ups.

We need to show the same unity of purpose towards Africa as we have shown for Ukraine.

Together with Josep Borrell, we will work on a new strategic approach to take forward at the next EU-AU Summit.

(fr) La Bulgarie et la Roumanie ont montré la voie en mettant en avant les bonnes pratiques en matière d’asile et de retour.

Elles font partie de notre espace Schengen.

Laissons-les enfin entrer, sans plus de retard !

(en) Bulgaria and Romania have led the way showcasing best practices on both asylum and returns.

They are part of our Schengen area.

So let us finally bring them in, without any further delay!

It is time to put an end to the callous and criminal business of human trafficking!

This is why we will organise an International Conference on fighting people smuggling.

Victoria Amelina was one of the great young writers of her generation.

A tireless activist for justice.

She was killed by a Russian ballistic missile – one of countless attacks against innocent civilians.

She was the victim of a Russian war crime.

We cannot and we should not wait for Treaty change to move ahead with enlargement.

A Union fit for enlargement can be achieved faster.

@EU_Commission

We still need #TreatyChange, badly. The #EU runs on an operating system conceived back when Mourinho won the Champions League with Porto and our phones looked like this.

EU_Commission, 9 months ago (edited 9 months ago)

This is where Europe stands today.

At a time and place where history is written.

This is Europe’s moment to answer the call of history.

Long live Europe.

Thank you for your feedback, @m14i!

@EU_Commission Déso, mais les politiciens autrichiens prennent leurs électeurs pour des imbéciles et essaient de leur faire croire que garder les camionneurs bloqués pendant des kilomètres à la frontière équivaut à une politique de sécurité. Et une majorité d'électeurs les laisse faire, si bien que deux membres de l'UE doivent subir des milliards de dommages à leur économie pour que les boomers autrichiens puissent se sentir suffisamment xénophobes.

Just #OblastVienna things.

@EU_Commission I am not sure if this is a good thing. How do you ensure it won't get exploited and it won't fall into wrong hands?

js, 9 months ago

@EU_Commission we’re not burning up the planet fast enough. That’s why we need to capitalize on funneling extreme wastefullness vis a vis startups seeking to escalate and exacerbate societal degradation. Promptly.

@EU_Commission Portugal didn't allow our company to be registered as "Fruit Tree Labs" because they thought it sounded like we're selling fruit... Although it's quite funny, it also caused a ±2 month delay in starting the company.

ptrofi, 9 months ago

@EU_Commission You should probably start an investigation into why European manufacturers are keeping their prices artificially high, so that practically nobody can buy those cars, other than maybe the super-rich.

natchouf, 9 months ago

@EU_Commission By this picture and text, you strongly suggest solar panels are made in europe. Yet, as far as I know, they are imported from China. Did things change recently in this matter?
