Thank you to all mayors who came here today.

They are all here because, as @EPP, we want to build a network of mayors who are close to the people but who also work together at European level - I said now at the #RoadtoRecovery event organised in #Lisbon by @EPPGroup & @EPP_CoR.

#Portugal is allocated over €18 bn through the Recovery&Resilience Facility in next years.

Portuguese local & regional authorities know the needs of their communities best. They must be involved in the #PRR. #RoadtoRecovery @JMFernandesEU @NunoMeloCDS

The @EPPGroup will support the people of #Madrid to attract European funds to modernise hospitals, schools, to improve infrastructure, to make the city even cleaner and more modern — this is what I told @IdiazAyuso, President of the Madrid Region today.

In the next years, #Spain will have more #EUfunds available than ever. Through the #Recovery & #Resilience Facility, it will receive more than €77 bn. in grants.
The active involvement of mayors in the Spanish NRRP is crucial to ensure money reaches those most in need. 2/2

The @EU_Commission proposal today of a €145 mil. increase in Macro-Financial Assistance for #Moldova is very good news. It will provide further support to Moldova in tackling the crises it is facing.

We in the @europarl_en will work to get this approved as soon as possible.

Let us work together with all international partners to reach an agreement on the creation of this tribunal as soon as possible.

It is our duty to ensure that justice is done. That all those guilty will be held accountable, investigated and prosecuted, including #Putin. 2/2

We have just adopted in the @europarl_en, with overwhelming majority, the resolution I co-signed requesting the creation of a special tribunal for #Russia's crimes of aggression against #Ukraine.

Russia's crimes must not & will not remain unpunished. 1/2

We can only ensure high social standards if our economy is strong & competitive.

This is why in the #COFOE Conclusions we together agreed to the creation of a competitiveness check. Let us work together this year to see it established.

We have adopted in @europarl_en today, with overwhelming majority, the #EuropeanParliament resolution outlining the way forward for our #EUSingleMarket.

As the #EU evolves, so too must our Single Market: more cooperative, more digital, more innovative.

In December, one day before the #EUCO, we concluded interinstitutional negotiations on the €20 billion #REPowerEU fund.

This will help improve our energy infrastructure, further reduce our dependence on #Russia & will help European companies & people in need.⤵️

#Romania & #Bulgaria in Schengen would make us all safer.

Romania & Bulgaria in #Schengen would also economically benefit not only the two countries, but would help further develop the entire #EU & #EUSingleMarket.
RT @EPP_CoR: Not delivering on #Schengen for 🇷🇴 & 🇧🇬 means failing on #cohesion in which we regional & local authorities have heavily invested efforts & resources. The removal of barriers for the local economy and citizens is essential for the prosperi…

It is almost a year since #Russia started its unjustified war in #Ukraine. We have shown that #Europe can help more than Russia can harm.

While #Russia talks about the past, we in the #EU prepare for the future. A future for the people.
