We celebrate today 70 years of @europarl_en. Through our work here, we want to make the voice of Europeans heard & to fight for their priorities.
The Parliament is European unity & diversity alike.
The Parliament is everyone’s voice heard.
Unallocated funds from the #RRF loan component - over €200 billion - must not remain unused.
States should be given 30 days after #REPowerEU entry into force to notify intention to access these loans. Otherwise, funds should be made available to other member states. 1/2
If we eliminate roaming charges for #Ukraine, then we should do the same for #Moldova. @EU_Commission should propose an #EU - Moldova zero-roaming charges agreement.
This is what I ask, in letter to Commission President @vonderleyen signed along 106 @europarl_en colleagues. 1/2
Now starting the first #REPowerEU trilogue with the @EUCouncil and the @EU_Commission.
@europarl_en position is clear: swift agreement & legislation in place by early next year to allow investments in energy security and connectivity.
On November 15, 2020, exactly 2 years ago, Maia Sandu @sandumaiamd was elected President of #Moldova. Through her work, Moldova has gained #EUCandidateState status &relations with the #EU are closer than ever.
We @europarl_en will be by Moldova’s side throughout its EU journey.
Press conference with @EP_President @RobertaMetsola about @europarl_en vote on the #REPowerEU Plan to reduce energy dependence on #Russia. We are clear:
✅ 20% of prefinancing to all member states
✅ 35% of resources towards cross-border projects 1/2
GOOD NEWS! We have just adopted, with overwhelming majority, the @europarl_en position on #REPowerEU: 471 for, 90 against, 53 abstentions.
With the strong support of our colleagues, we are now ready for trilogues with the @EUCouncil & @EU_Commission. 1/2
We have decided our, @EPPGroup, position for today's @europarl_en debate and tomorrow's vote on the #REPowerEU plan:
➡️ 20% prefinancing for member states, as soon as their REPowerEU plan is approved.
➡️ 35% of funding shall be directed to cross-border projects. 1/2
I am preparing for today's @europarl_en debates on #EUCO conclusions & #REPowerEU, investing in energy security.
We must stand united in support of #Ukraine & #Moldova. We must completely eliminate our energy dependence on #Russia & build for a greener, cleaner future.
The closer #Moldova wants to get to the #EU, the more Gazprom reduces gas supplies. We must continue to help Moldova.
We, @europarl_en, are ready to endorse new forms of support for Moldova & wait for new @EU_Commission proposals - I told Romanian journalists today in Brussels.
The war in #Ukraine is affecting EU citizens, businesses & economies.
To emerge stronger, the #EU needs to achieve energy independence & security. The #REPowerEU plan is key to this objective. 1/2
Meeting with President @sandumaiamd today in Chișinău. EU institutions should give Moldova a clear path towards the start of membership negotiations. @EU_Commission should communicate to 🇲🇩 if there are any additional conditions requested to start negotiations.
Moldova is a candidate state and a future member of the European Union. You are part of our family, and we will continue to support you in tackling the crises you are facing and throughout the EU integration process. This I said today to 🇲🇩 Foreign Affairs Minister, @nicupopescu.
Reforming the judiciary & fighting corruption are crucial for the European integration of the Republic of #Moldova. You can count on our support to continue your ambitious reforms in this area, despite all challenges - I said today to 🇲🇩 Minister of Justice, Sergiu Litvinenco.
In today's meeting with @Igor_Grosu_md, Speaker of the @Parliament_RM, we discussed how @europarl_en will continue to support our Moldovan counterparts in the implementation of the necessary legislation for the further EU integration of Moldova.
I congratulated today Moldovan Government and Prime Minister @natgavrilita for the good ongoing implementation of the nine recommendations set out in the EU Commissions' Opinion on granting EU candidate status for Moldova. 1/2
Discussing with 🇲🇩civil society organisations & media representatives about fake news & disinformation. With the Russian invasion of Ukraine, fake news & Russian propaganda actions have increased exponentially. Therefore, their work is essential to combat these malicious actions.
Today, we begin in #Chisinau the 12th #EU - #Moldova Parliamentary Association Committee Meeting 🇪🇺 🇲🇩.
We will look at further ways to support Moldova as an #EUCandidateState & to tackle the crises it is currently facing.
