R to @EU_Commission: In two years of #REPowerEU we collected many achievements, but we need to keep going.

Our goal is to phase out completely Russian fossil fuel by 2027 and that renewable energy accounts for at least 42.5% of our energy consumption by 2030.

R to @EU_Commission: #REPowerEU means a more secure and independent energy system for 🇪🇺

Gas prices are now back around pre-war levels.

And on March 31st, at the end of the heating season, our gas storages were over 58% full ‐ a record high for that time of the year.

plan.
It is helping us phase out Russian fossil fuels by:

RT by @EU_Commission: I strongly condemn the vile attack on Prime Minister Robert Fico.

Such acts of violence have no place in our society and undermine democracy, our most precious common good.

My thoughts are with PM Fico and his family.

R to @EU_Commission: Uncertainty and downside risks to the economic outlook have further increased in recent months, as two wars continue to rage not far from home.

But we expect a gradual acceleration in growth over the course of this year and next.
