In the EU, greenfield investment fell by 15% last year compared to 2021. Meanwhile #Hungary saw a record #FDI inflow, worth EUR 6.5 billion.

Political stability, business-friendly environment & low taxes guarantee attractive investment environment.

➡️ provide legal certainty for cryptocurrency issuers,

 ➡️ guarantee equal rights for service providers.

This is a milestone for the 🇪🇺 crypto market: we create stability & trust, allowing citizens & businesses to fully use the potential of crypto assets.

#EPplenary today adopted the Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation #MiCA, a huge step towards a harmonised #crypto market. With that:

➡️we stand against market manipulation & abuse: fraud, #moneylaundering or #taxevasion,

➡️ will ensure that consumers & investors are protected,

Breaking: #Hungary is ready to sign #PostCotonou compromise agreement as solution to all HU problems had been found.
🇭🇺 received the necessary guarantees that all decisions on migration & labour market issues & the protection of children will remain in national competence.

HU govt in order to protect farmers & consumers has imposed a temporary ban on imports of 25 agricultural products from #Ukraine.

The HU government will always stand by Hungarian farmers and defend the interests of Hungarian agriculture.

Farmers rightfully expect the EU to ensure fair market conditions for European agriculture.

The lack of EU action to maintain the original function of solidarity lanes has left HU farmers defenceless against the current market situation.

This #war has no winners, only losers. As Pres of @FideszEP, Kinga Gál put it: "War crimes cannot go uninvestigated and unpunished. The truth must come out." The first step to that is ceasefire & the immediate start of #peace talks.

It would have been the Commission's task to step up efficiently in time. If Commission had identified and remedied the problem, PL, HU and SK would not have had to take unilateral measures.

2️⃣ By abusing these lanes, excessive amount of grain ended up at the Eastern MSs markets, causing severe market disruptions.
3️⃣ Only 3 out of the 6 affected MSs have received some minimal compensation from the COM, far from being enough for compensating for farmers' loss.

@kalniete (and EPP) should make an effort to understand in what PL, HU & SK decision on blocking #UAgrain import temporarily consists and what is behind, before criticizing. 
1️⃣ Transit via the solidarity lanes works smoothly even now.

A pragmatic China policy without ideologies, focused on the interests of European companies, should be pursued. That is the interest of Europe.

I am wondering why the COM suddenly thinks that the #CAI that was praised 3 years ago is now economically problematic. CAI could level the playing field for EU companies in the Chinese market.

China has been our biggest trading partner since 2021 with a daily turnover exceeding 2.3 billion EUR. Our primary task should be to balance our heavy trade deficit.

Realpolitik should prevail: we do need dialogue & trade relations with China. By this we are not saying China is a democracy or a market economy. We should simply respect the realities & be pragmatic.

#EPplenary debate today on #EU-#China relations: it is mistaken to divide the world into good and bad. We should not look into who is our potential enemy but who could be our potential partners.

The Commissioners have acknowledged that there's good progress in the negotiations w/ HU. However, the left keeps making pressure on the COM to impose new conditions. I trust they will have the strength to resist & keep their word: no more obligations than what was set in Dec.

3. Certain MSs put milestones, ie. measures & reforms in their #RRPs that had been already implemented earlier or stem from the obligation of transposing 🇪🇺legislation. At the same time, HU & PL has got an unprecedently high no. of milestones to fulfill. Is this equal treatment?

2. Why COM has been withholding answer to the draft legislative text fulfilling the milestones on the judiciary presented by the HU Govt for 3 weeks. At the same time, can we be sure there will be no new criteria set, as in December?

Can we afford this in the middle of rising #energyprices, inflation & #IRA in the US?

#RRF Dialogue yesterday with @PaoloGentiloni & @VDombrovskis. I called the attention to 3 issues:

1. Disbursement is lagging behind: COM has disbursed 1/5 of the available funds only while 1/3 of the time has already passed. Slow payment leads to less competitiveness.
