Re Now, with regards to ‘Team Europe’. This poses a problem of its own, regardless of the contents of the deal. There is no mention of it in the treaties, so what is it doing negotiating for the EU? Team Europe is opaque. Who do we go to, if we want to scrutinise ‘Team Europe’? https://t.co/caLxdT6tC2

Re My questions to the Commissioner are therefore:
• who is ‘Team Europe’ accountable to?
• what was the status of prime minister Meloni and caretaker pm Rutte?
• what’s the legal status of this MoU?
• why didn’t the actual signatory, Commissioner Várhelyi take centre-stage! https://t.co/aO1c5sNbDB

Ah, #TeamEurope is flying again. It seems to be very busy these days. Maybe @vonderleyen can come to @europarl_en and explain what Team Europe is, and how accountability, transparency and the separation of powers are ensured?

European Commission: #TeamEurope will invest over €45 billion in Latin America and the Caribbean until 2027.
Together, we shaped a high-quality investment agenda, around four pillars:
🔸 green transition
🔸 digital transformation
🔸 human development
🔸 health

What is #TeamEurope? Is it a new EU institution? If so, where can I find it in the Treaties? What powers does it have to sign international agreements?

Ehm….”fout”, “onzorgvuldig”? UWV verzamelde kennelijk welbewust en gericht illegaal gegevens over uitkeringsgerechtigden. Niks fout, gewoon opzettelijk. Niets geleerd van toeslagenaffaire.

A transwoman was murdered in Greece. Local police and media misgendered her in reporting about this. Saddening and shocking.
If this ⁦@EU_Commission⁩ is serious about protecting “the European Way of Life” I expect it to take a clear stance.

Final position of the parliament is to support a nature restoration law by 36 votes. Less tight than expected, having defeated the EPP push. https://t.co/yF6Wa0gEzd

Se dice muchas veces pero hoy es cierto: la aprobación de la Ley de Restauración es un paso histórico en la recuperación de la naturaleza.
Pierde el EPP y la extrema derecha pero lo más importante: ganamos todos.

Removing Mickey Mouse murals in UK children's asylum centre cos “too welcoming". Dutch PM wanted to limit reunification of children and parents. Children left to drown in GR. Even children in migration, the most vulnerable of all, have been dehumanized. Can we sink any lower? https://n.respublicae.eu/ridgeonsunday/status/1677953662021169152
