Weakness provokes Russia, not strength.
We need to be strong: support Ukraine to stop Russia and prevent future Russian attempts https://n.respublicae.eu/eppgroup/status/1679049563129147392

EPP Group: "We have to learn from the mistakes of the past. In the past, we always said we shouldn't provoke the Russian Federation, but now we saw Russia attack Ukraine in an unprovoked manner. And what provokes Russia is weakness, not strength", says @SMuresan.

500 days since the beginning of the #UkraineRussiaWar and we see that Russia is a threat to the security of all of us in Europe - I said today in the #EPlenary. Security will not come by itself; it is time to start investing in the security of our Member States. https://t.co/FeSUxCn196

I talked about how important the security of the Republic of #Moldova is for the stability and security of the European Union in the #podcast "The Eastern Front", of the American Enterprise Institute @AEI.

We just approved today in @europarl_en to extend by 1 year the suspension of import duties and quotas to products from #Moldova to the #EU. We want to offer 🇲🇩 as much access to the 🇪🇺market as possible, given that the war in 🇺🇦 has strongly affected its international trade. 1/2

Re We must continue to provide as much access as possible to Moldovan products in Europe. The next step should be the permanent liberalization of trade between #Moldova and the #EU and start gradually to integrate Moldova in the #EU Single Market. 2/2

Well done to Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson of #Sweden for reaching agreement with Turkey regarding #NATO accession.
This will make NATO stronger and all of us safer.

#Moldova has @EPPGroup full support on its European integration. Today in @europarl_en, I had a meeting with @Igor_Grosu_md, @Parliament_RM Speaker and President of the Action and Solidarity Party (PAS), and @ManfredWeber, leader of #EPPGroup and President of @EPP. 1/2 https://t.co/QSzLr46oFd

Re We are glad that #Moldova is lead by a pro-European party, part of our European political family, that is bringing it closer to the EU. We, @EPPGroup &amp; @EPP, will continue to stand by PAS and offer Moldova all the support it needs to continue its path towards #EU. 2/2

Re From the beginning of the Russian invasion, the Republic of Moldova has been an inspiration for the EU. #Moldova has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to democratic values and reforms - I said today at the meeting of the @europarl_en Delegation for relations with Moldova. 2/2

#Moldova has already started its European integration. We, in @europarl_en, accelerate the integration process. So we call on the 🇪🇺 institutions to start integrating Moldova into the #EU Single Market and offer its citizens, products, and capital freedom of movement.

We need an ambitious revision of the EU Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) in order to have a meaningful 2024 #EUbudget - I said today in @EP_Budgets where I presented the working document on the EU draft budget. 1/2

Re The MFF revision will give us the much needed space for maneuver in case of unexpected situations. We will work closely with our colleagues that manage the #MFFrevision in order to have it adopted before the 2024 #EUbudget. 2/2

Mistakes were made in the 2021-2027 EU Multiannual Financial Framework, that we need to correct. ➡The repayment of #NextGenerationEU can't be part of the budget, as interest rates are going up. New EU own resources are the solution. 1/2

🐦🔗: https://n.respublicae.eu/SMuresan/status/1673987158154027008

Re ➡ 4 of the 7 budgetary headings have zero budget margins, so no space for maneuver. The #MFFrevision must finance EU old priorities, but also the very new priorities generated by the war. 2/2

We just launched today the United for Moldova (#U4M) network together with the Prime Minister of Moldova @DorinRecean. Throughout this network, we will support the European integration of Moldova together with politicians and experts from all over Europe. 1/3 https://t.co/INcugHXEEk
