"They are taking #Chips from refrigerators and dish washers to repair their machines because they cannot get #semiconductors. #Russian industry is in tatters.
The #Sanctions are here to stay. It is time for resolve not appeasement!"
“Today, courage has a name and that name is Ukraine.
Courage has a face and that face is of the Ukrainian men and women standing against Russian agression.
Glory to a country of European Heroes. Slava Ukraini!” 🇺🇦🇪🇺

“Never before has this parliament debated the state of our Union with war raging on European soil.
But from that moment on, a whole continent has risen in solidarity.
From that moment, Europeans never hid nor hesitated. Our Union has risen to the occasion.”
@TomiHuhtanen Happy Birthday to the bright and hard working team at the @MartensCentre! Keep up the insightful discussions and concrete proposals. @MDzurinda @TomiHuhtanen
“We will be able to tackle Russia's long-winter, but we need unity, determination and courage. When we calculate the price of war in Europe, it's human lives. It's European values and the entire rules-based international system.”
We must use the right language when building a global #tech alliance.
When we use terms like ‘The West’, some nations we need to build a relationship with, do not feel included.
We should consider reverting to the term ‘free world’. 9/9
There are reports that Chinese companies are stockpiling #semiconductor tools in anticipation of one day being cut-off from the sale of these products.
We must be aware of the implications of this & act. 8/9
As long as the #EU & #US can keep making the most cutting-edge semiconductor tools in the world & prevent them from falling into the hands of China, tools will be a choke point #democracies can maintain & control. 7/9
The CCP has created an unprecedented use of #technology to create a surveillance state.
We must be clear-eyed about the challenges China presents to us.
It was thought the more China was brought into the world market, the better for everyone. History has shown otherwise. 5/9
An economic blockade resulting in chip supplies being cut off from the rest of the world would be an economic catastrophe.
There has to be investment and production outside of #Taiwan to lessen the global risk profile. 3/9
Not unlike Putin’s obsession with Ukraine, Xi Jinping has a similar obsession with #Taiwan.
In particular its biggest asset - its #semiconductor industry.
We have to take Xi at his word. The goal of the CCP is to take action against Taiwan. 2/9
We can’t talk #Chips without talking China.
China’s efforts to gain dominance in the #semiconductor industry should trigger meaningful reflection & action across the free world.
Below are key takeaways from my fireside chat with Senator Warner & Commissioner Breton. 1/9 🧵↘️
Now that Moldova has been granted Candidate status, we must continue to support our 🇲🇩 colleagues in their path to 🇪🇺 membership.
After having hosted an @epp discussion with @sandumaiamd, pleased to meet Moldovan MPs @AdrianBalutel & Marcela Nistor.
