Maroš Šefčovič🇪🇺 @MarosSefcovic@respublicae.eu

We need to be more strategic in dealings with the rest of the world and consolidate our partnerships. A good exchange with the Speaker of the 🇨🇿 Chamber of Deputies @market_a. On the same page when it comes to further embracing the Western Balkans and our Eastern neighbours.

🇪🇺🇺🇦 Heard first-hand how Ukraine's #energy infrastructure is being damaged by Russia. Informed @ua_parliament Members about the EU's tangible support, which will continue when attention turns to reconstruction. Welcomed the desire to cooperate on #rawmaterials and #foresight.

Glad to be in Prague for the session of the Conference of Parliamentary Committees for EU Affairs #COSAC.

We must take a more geopolitical perspective in our European policies, while embedding open #strategicautonomy in all that we do. My remarks 👉📝 https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/SPEECH_22_6898.

A good first exchange with 🇮🇹 Minister @RaffaeleFitto on the 2023 @EU_CommissionWork Programme as well as #strategicforesight and ways to strengthen Europe's open #strategicautonomy in areas of critical importance. Looking forward to our cooperation under #GAC @EUCouncil.

We must be careful not to replace old dependencies with new ones. Critical #rawmaterials in particular require our urgent attention. Without them, there's no green & digital economy.

Sustainable access to CRMs is a strategic security issue. @EU2022_CZ 👉 https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/SPEECH_22_6691

We'll speak soon.

With @CarloBonomi_ @Confindustria, discussing the pressing challenges European industry faces, namely high energy prices and sustainable access to critical #rawmaterials.

Half baked measures will not help us avoid a dependency trap. Key that industry flags emerging dependencies.
