Today, at the @EPP Summit. The EPP is fully committed to granting #Ukraine and the Republic of #Moldova #EUCandidateStatus.
To Ukraine and Moldova’s #EU membership bids, our answer must be clear: yes, let us get to work.
The #Recovery & #Resilience Facility Implementation Report, on which I was co-rapporteur, has been adopted by large majority in @europarl_en.
#EuropeanParliament’s position is now clear:
1️⃣ let us use available #RRF loans (over €200 bln) to develop energy independence. 1/2
We, @europarl_en, once again reiterate our full support for granting #Ukraine & Moldova #EUCandidateStatus, with overwhelming majority: 529 in favour, 45 against, 12 abstain.
Citizens of #Ukraine & #Moldova deserve a European perspective. We call on the #EUCO to grant it.
Communicating about our work and the decisions of the @europarl_en is an essential part of our work as members of the #EuropeanParliament.
This is why I was glad to host a group of Romanian journalists during the plenary vote on the #RRF Implementation Report. 1/2
#Recovery & #Resilience Facility Implementation Report final approvals ready in the Working Group on Budget & Structural Policies, ahead of tomorrow's
@europarl_en plenary vote.
In past months, Moldovan authorities have been proactive in implementing reforms at an unprecedented pace. Judiciary reforms and tackling corruption, important for the credibility of Moldova at EU level & for its citizens, are now key on #Moldova’s reform agenda. 1/2
We vote today in @EP_Economics on my report about #Croatia's #Eurozone accession.
The report is positive - Croatia is ready. There is also awareness in #Zagreb that work to keep the economy strong & competitive needs to continue after joining the #Euro.
RT @EPPGroup: .@EPPGroup wants #Croatia to become 20th country to adopt #Euro.
The reforms which the🇭🇷Government have undertaken in the last years have strengthened the economy & pa…
A month ago in #Chișinău, young people from the Republic of #Moldova asked me if they would receive #EUCandidateStatus.
Today we can say to them: Yes, your future is European.
The EU and the Member States must enable European farmers to keep food on our tables. #FoodSecurity must now be a #EU level priority.
@EU_Commission must present without delay a holistic strategic plan to ensure food security for the EU. 1/2
I was glad to discuss today the recent @europarl_en developments & concrete EU actions after the Conference on the #FutureofEurope at the #Eurosfat2022 Forum by @Europuls.
Citizens have made their wishes clear. It is now up to us, EU institutions, to put them into practice. 1/2
RT @EPPGroup: With the inflation rate reaching a record high, soaring heating and fuel costs, the cost of living is now a headache for everyone.
Watch our discussion on economic relief with @MarkusFerber, @MEP_Ehler & @SMuresan.

I presented today my report on #Croatia's #Eurozone accession in @EP_Economics.
The report is positive, which why I proposed to my colleagues to vote on it and approve Croatia's accession to the Euro Area in the @europarl_en. Key points from the report: 1/4
Croatia joining the Euro is a clear sign that the currency remains attractive.
@HNB_HR Governor Boris Vujčić and I discussed today the upcoming @europarl_en Report on #Croatia’s accession to the #Eurozone and the practical preparations needed for joining the Euro.
I congratulated #Croatia Prime Minister @andrejplenkovic and Foreign Affairs Minister @GrlicRadman, today in Zagreb on meeting the convergence criteria for #Eurozone accession. We also spoke about the practical preparation to introduce the euro. 1/2
We, @europarl_en, rejected today the proposal for a no-confidence motion against the @EU_Commission by rejecting @GreensEFA amendment to the #Poland Resolution.
The amendment fell, with 382 votes against and only 161 in favour. 1/2
#Poland Recovery&Resilience Plan resolution, which I negotiated on behalf of @EPPGroup, just adopted with large majority by @europarl_en: 411 for, 129 against, 31 abstain.
We made it clear: No release of RRF funds until Polish authorities comply w/ @EUCourtPress rulings. 1/3
