🔍 #DYK that civil society involvement in EU policy-making remains insufficient?
It's time to change that! We need stronger participation and fewer obstacles.
The #ECI is the answer, as a unique tool for citizens to shape the EU by proposing new laws.

Today is Micro-, Small, and Medium-sized Enterprises Day.
#OnThisDay, I highlight the importance that #MSMEs play as the backbone of our economy, driving innovation and creating jobs.
We must support them, ensuring they are put at the heart of all key political decisions. https://t.co/YXx44eesHE
