Maroš Šefčovič🇪🇺 @MarosSefcovic@respublicae.eu

An excellent exchange on critical #rawmaterials with 🇩🇪 State Secretary @fbrantner. Entirely on the same page: the scale of the challenge ahead requires us to take a strategic, systemic and agile approach. I appreciate our cooperation here as well as under the #EUBatteryAlliance.

With 🇨🇿 Minister @JozefSikela, fully in sync on critical #rawmaterials. Imperative that we build a certain level of strategic capacity along an entire value chain from mining and processing to recycling.

There is no alternative. No time to waste. And no go-it-alone approach.

We cannot sleepwalk into another over-dependence in a strategic area. The @EU_Commission is therefore preparing a legislative proposal on critical #raw materials.

A pleasure to be in Prague for the timely @EU2022_CZ conference on this 🔝 priority.

🇪🇺🇺🇦 Ukraine is well placed to become a strong player in critical #rawmaterials - even poised to lead in this field.

Glad to have met Minister @RuslanStrilets to discuss how to make the most of our 2021 MoU as swiftly as possible, especially in the context of Ukraine's recovery.

Paying tribute to HM Queen Elizabeth II by signing a book of condolences @UKMisBrussels.

She served faithfully, just as she promised: « My whole life whether it be long or short shall be devoted to your service. » A much needed example for generations to come.

Always valuable to exchange views with 🇩🇪 State Secretary @joergkukies. While tackling pressing #energysecurity issues, we're also learning lessons - joining forces is essential to avoid strategic dependencies, esp. on critical #rawmaterials.

Pleased to have met @USAinNI Paul Narain. Discussed 🇪🇺🇺🇸 shared commitment to protect the Good Friday (Belfast) Agreement, as we look forward to its 25th anniversary. Our minds focused on ways to foster peace and prosperity in Northern Ireland for the next 25 years.

Glad to catch up with my friend @simoncoveney and discuss our shared objectives. The EU continues to listen to genuine concerns in Northern Ireland around the Protocol and is ready to address them with the UK in a spirit of partnership.

Time well spent at the BIA Conference.

Echoing important words by 🇮🇪 Taoiseach @MichealMartinTD at the British-Irish Association Conference: there is a path to an agreed way forward on outstanding issues regarding the Protocol. The benefits of going the distance are clear & tangible for the people of Northern Ireland.

Only joint solutions can create the certainty that Northern Ireland deserves. I stand ready to work constructively with any new UK interlocutor to find a common solution within the Protocol. The EU never leaves the table.

Czechia's drive to succeed in the fast growing battery sector is clear. A great idea by @CVUTPraha @VSCHT @ZapadoceskaUni @VUTvBrne @skodaautonews to team up in R&I to boost domestic expertise in #batteries. Glad that Central Europe is becoming a vibrant part of our battery boom.
