RT @vonderleyen: Good to stay in close touch with @ZelenskyyUa
Positive developments: we will propose this week the financial support package for Ukraine in 2023.
The EU will be at Ukraine’s side for as long as it takes.
🇪🇺🇺🇦
RT @vonderleyen: Today’s political agreement between @europarl_en and @EUCouncil on zero emission new car sales as of 2035 is a crucial milestone to reach our 2030 climate target.
It will boost innovation and our 🇪🇺 industrial & tech leadership.
I look forward to more #Fitfor55 agreements soon.

Russia’s war against Ukraine increased the risks for the EU critical infrastructure.
We must protect it by accelerating the work on preparedness, response and international cooperation.
Our Recommendation starts with
⚡️energy
💻digital infrastructure
🌐transport and space
By addressing all dimensions of the energy market, we are giving EU a solid foundation to face the challenges ahead.
There will be no overnight fix to the energy crisis fuelled by Russian aggression, but we are ensuring that EU is prepared to protect our citizens & industries.
Today @EU_Commission is proposing a new emergency regulation to address high gas prices & ensure security of supply.
This will be done through:
➡️joint gas purchasing
➡️price limiting mechanisms
➡️transparent infrastructure use
➡️solidarity between MS
➡️reduction of gas demand
We have prepared well for the winter ahead, achieving over 92% filling of our gas storage, saving energy, and finding new suppliers.
Now we have to tackle volatile prices and insecurity on gas markets ⤵️

Tomorrow’s College will address some of the most urgent issues related to high prices of energy & security of supplies. The @EU_Commission will also propose new mesures to reinforce the resilience of critical infrastructure.
Commissioners will also decide on Work Programme 2023.
RT @vonderleyen: Good VTC discussion on energy with College members.
Made good progress on implementing the roadmap to tackle high energy prices presented to Leaders at the informal summit in Prague.
We will approve another package of legal proposals at our next college meeting, Tuesday.
Great first get-together with Brussels hacks after the #Midday at the @EU_Commission press bar #Berlaymont.
Almost lost my voice speaking above the din 😉
Thanks to all of you who came. Glad to meet many new faces.
Let’s make this a regular thing!
Next Friday perhaps ?
RT @vonderleyen: My thoughts are with the families of the victims of the shooting in Bratislava.
These abhorrent murders are a threat to our societies built on respect and tolerance.
The EU is committed to helping fight hate crime and speech in all form.
We must protect the LGBTIQ community.
#EULaw has a real impact on everyday life.
From cleaner air to free movement or fundamental rights - the @EUCommission works to enforce the law and prevent breaches.
