RT @vonderleyen: 🇺🇦 In Kyiv, for my 3rd visit since the start of Russia’s war.
So much has changed.
Ukraine is now a 🇪🇺 candidate.
I’ll discuss with @ZelenskyyUa and @Denys_Shmyhal how to continue getting our economies and people closer while Ukraine progresses towards accession.
While Putin is trying to use Russian energy to divide us, Europe is united in our response.
Member States, citizens and businesses all have a role to play.
By acting in solidarity, we can bring down our dependency on fossil fuels, and bring down our energy bills.
Europe 🇪🇺 is responding to rising energy prices with new measures to help consumers.
Today we are proposing new measures:
🔹Electricity demand reduction to save energy & money
🔹Using exceptional energy sector profits to help citizens and businesses pay their bills
In case of proven forced labour, authorities can:
🔴prohibit the placing of these products on the market Union
🔴ask to withdraw relevant products
🔴have them destroyed, rendered inoperable or disposed of in line with national law
➡️https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_22_5415
There are 27,6 mill people victims of forced labour in the🌍
Today, the @EU_Commission has proposed to prohibit all products made with forced labour from the 🇪🇺market
The ban covers:
✔️ all products: goods made in the 🇪🇺 for our market, for export & imported
✔️ all industries
How will it work?
Phase 1️⃣ if National authorities assess that there are well founded reasons to suspect forced labour
Phase 2️⃣ they will start an investigation taking into account all info available focusing their effort where they are likely to be most effective

RT @vonderleyen: Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will be deeply missed.
To the people of Great Britain, she embodied the spirit of the nation.
To all Europeans, she was an anchor of certainty throughout the tumults of history.
To me, she was an example of true leadership.
RT @EU_Commission: The passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II leaves a sense of loss in the lives of many.
Her empathy and ability to connect with every passing generation, while remaining rooted in the traditions that truly mattered to her was as an example of true leadership.
RT @vonderleyen: She witnessed war and reconciliation in Europe and beyond, and deep transformations of our planet and societies.
She was a beacon of continuity throughout these changes, never ceasing to display a calmness and dedication that gave strength to many.
May she rest in peace.
RT @vonderleyen: It is with deep sadness that I have learned of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
She was the world’s longest serving Head of State and one of the most respected personalities worldwide.
I offer my heartfelt condolences to the Royal Family and the British people.
Thoughts and prayers for the health of Queen Elizabeth II, from President @vonderleyen, during the press conference with PM Mark Rutte @MinPres in Rotterdam this afternoon.
