We are also proposing to revise the Barcelona targets so that by 2030 early childhood education and care is ensured for:
➡️50% of children under 3
➡️96% of children over 3 and before compulsory primary education
We need accessible, affordable and high quality childcare
In the context of the #EUCareStrategy, we are strengthening long-term care access for older people and persons with disabilities while supporting informal carers and vulnerable workers.
This is our plan to leave no-one behind⤵️

High-quality, affordable and accessible care services.
Better working conditions and gender equality for carers.
This is how ⤵️

Statement by President @vonderleyen on energy
"We are facing an extraordinary situation, because Russia is an unreliable supplier and is manipulating our energy markets.
Our unity and our solidarity will ensure that we will prevail!"

RT @vonderleyen: Russia is manipulating our energy markets and we are confronted with astronomic prices.
So we will table measures to protect vulnerable consumers and businesses.
We have the economic strength, the political will and unity to keep the upper hand.

He will fail.
Europe will prevail.
The @EU_Commission is preparing proposals to help vulnerable households and businesses to cope with high energy prices.
Announcement on President @vonderleyen agenda for this week related to #Energy and on preparations for next week's #SOTEU address ⤵️
RT @vonderleyen: Congratulations @trussliz.
The EU and the UK are partners.
We face many challenges together, from climate change to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
I look forward to a constructive relationship, in full respect of our agreements.
Congratulations Katalin !
RT @eublogo: Köszönöm @nepszava !
I am honoured that the editorial board of Népszava awarded me the Ferenc Fejtő Prize this year! Thank you! https://nepszava.hu/halmai-katalin-fejto-ferenc-dij
Gazprom’s announcement this afternoon that it is once again shutting down NorthStream1 under fallacious pretenses is another confirmation of its unreliability as a supplier.
It’s also proof of Russia’s cynicism, as it prefers to flare gas instead of honoring contracts.
RT @vonderleyen: Die aktuelle Energiekrise, der Europäische Green Deal, der Weg hin zu einer digitaleren und nachhaltigeren Wirtschaft und die Zukunft Europas.

@csikow @Thalys Not yet…
Voilà.
RT @lalibrebe: Le train Thalys bloqué à hauteur de Tournai après le heurt d'un animal a été évacué https://www.lalibre.be/belgique/mobilite/2022/07/29/un-train-thalys-bloque-a-hauteur-de-tournai-apres-le-heurt-dun-animal-JYCANYZSAJGLTFSTM7I6WJ2J5Y/
No sooner had I posted my little survey that fate decided to pour cold water on my attempt at wry humour:
we have left the station !
How long to Paris ?🤞
4.5 hours later, and still sitting tight @thalys 😳
Is this more:

Learning patience = sitting in Brussels-midi since almost four hours waiting for my @thalys to Paris to finally leave.
Learning hope = praying that it won’t be cancelled after this long wait.
Could happen…
I least it’s good for my diet since there is no food being offered…👍
RT @vonderleyen: I strongly welcome the endorsement by Council of the regulation to reduce gas demand and prepare for the winter.
It is a decisive step to face down the threat of a full gas disruption.
Thanks to today’s decision, Europe is now ready to address its energy security, as a Union.
