I've come to Switzerland to support the momentum, created over the past year by the ongoing 🇪🇺🇨🇭exploratory talks.
Good to have engaged with @ParlCH and listened to a range of opinions.

RT @ParlCH: Valuable exchange between Foreign Affairs Committee of National Council @ParlCH & @MarosSefcovic, Vice-President @EU_Commission on 🇨🇭priorities, the 🇪🇺 positions & state of play in exploratory talks. Dialogue at political level contributes to mutual understanding!

A full day of informative, constructive and valuable exchanges, having started with the🇨🇭social partners.
Important that we listen to and are sensitive to our respective concerns. This can help us pave the way towards finding a balanced solution.

🇪🇺🇨🇭 A valuable exchange with @SwissMFA @ignaziocassis.
We took stock of what we have achieved so far and where the open issues lie - in order to support the current momentum and exploit the existing window of opportunity.

As 🇪🇺🇨🇭bilateral agreements are ageing - some ceasing to apply - we need to strive for a systemic solution, covering all the structural issues.
If we succeed, this will lead to us unlocking the full potential of our cooperation, incl. in other areas.

I want to see EU-Swiss relations be in step with the times, by modernising them and unlocking their full potential – to the benefit of both sides.
This time, I am convinced, we must succeed.

Working towards a strategic, mutually beneficial partnership, focused on a closer integration of 🇪🇺🇳🇴 critical #rawmaterials and #battery value chains. It would strengthen our political bond and bring new opportunities for our industries.
Thanks, @jcvestre, for your hospitality.

Norway has been instrumental in strengthening our #energysecurity in the past few months.
Glad to have been here to expand 🇪🇺🇳🇴 energy cooperation in a mutually advantageous way. The #EUEnergyPlatform for joint gas purchasing is a perfect match.
With Minister @terjeaa @oeddep.

Held a productive virtual meeting with international gas suppliers to discuss opportunities offered by the #EUEnergyPlatform. We're getting ready by reinforcing 🇪🇺 infrastructure:

RT @Denys_Shmyhal: Agreed with @MarosSefcovic on further steps of 🇪🇺 integration & energy restoration. Grateful to the @EU_Commission for allocating €180M to buy solar panels & supporting the purchase of LED light bulbs. This is an important contribution to stability & 🇺🇦's green transformation.

While trading energy is first and foremost a matter of business, for us the #EUEnergyPlatform also has a political dimension. It shows again how European players can pull together in a time of crisis.

The #EUEnergyPlatform:
🆗 well on track to implement the demand aggregation as a first step towards joint gas purchasing
🆗 well advanced in identifying the most efficient structure for organising those companies who will pool their demand together.

The #EUEnergyPlatform: on schedule to prepare for next winter and the storage refilling season.
So far, 22 🇪🇺 Member States - together with Moldova, Ukraine and Serbia - have expressed their preliminary interest in aggregating gas demand.

The #EUBatteryAlliance has been addressing our external over-dependence on minerals from the start. The Critical #RawMaterials Act can be a game-changer, helping:
👉 boost 🇪🇺 extraction, processing, recycling capacities
👉 speed up permitting procedures for strategic projects.

In 2022, investment in the EU's 🔋ecosystem topped €180bn. >160 projects are in the making.
But we can't turn a blind eye to other economies incentivising the battery & #rawmaterials boom.
