🗣️ One can argue we need to increase awareness, cooperation, investments.
Others say it is about supply chains, regulatory barriers, limited market demand.
There is a truth in every argument.
Still, for me ♻️the #CircularEconomy begins and ends with people.

Deeply deploring the high number of lives lost at sea in Italy. My thoughts go to the victims and their families.
This is another wake up call to ensure safe and regular pathways for migrants and asylum seekers while combatting cruel smuggling of people.

Only a competitive 🇪🇺Europe can create prosperity.
It is vital to provide businesses with a favourable environment and skilled workers to be able to grow and innovate.

All authoritarian politicians are afraid of people's power to make things happen.
The 🇪🇺EU needs to continue supporting Belarusian #civilsociety in its fight for freedom and democracy.
Investing in #Belarus means investing in Europe.

🗣️@Tsihanouskaya at the #EESCplenary:
"The future of Europe is being decided right now on the battlefields of Ukraine, in the Belarusian underground resistance, and in 🇪🇺 capitals.
Are we as Europeans able to defend democratic values or will we let tyrannies take over again?"
