RT @EU_Commission: 🇺🇦 Today is Ukraine’s Independence Day!
31 years of independence. 6 months of an existential fight to preserve it.
Ukraine already belongs in the European family. And Europe is at your side every step of the way.

Shocked and deeply saddened by the sudden passing of my friend and colleague Mauro Petriccione. His kindness, warmth, humour and professionalism will be missed by all of us who had the privilege of knowing him. My thoughts are with Astrid and all his loved ones.

Dag goede Bram, we zullen je missen. Getalenteerd voetballer, begenadigd socioloog, leider van Rotjeknor. Wat kon jij schrijven! En leven! Principieel maar niet dogmatisch, werkend aan een samenleving van en voor iedereen. Dank voor je kameraadschap en vooral: voor je humor.

RT @EU_Commission: Europe faces the risk of further cuts of gas supply from 🇷🇺.
We are already getting 75% more gas from other countries than in 2021. But we now need to save gas to fill our storage faster.
Yesterday, EU countries agreed to reduce their gas consumption by 15%. ↓

We are all different, our skins are different, our languages, cultures, beliefs. And yet we are all part of the same race, the human race.
Racism is a poisonous political invention. There should be no place for it in Europe where our strength comes from diversity.

We will have to closely monitor developments and stay ready to do more if and when that becomes necessary.
Further gas savings should start tomorrow: every day we wait to make these difficult but necessary savings, we increase the costs of facing a full-scale disruption.
🐦🔗: https://nitter.eu/TimmermansEU/status/1551881627495809024
Today's agreement to save 15% of gas across Europe is a huge step forward towards reducing our vulnerability to Russia's gas games.
We can be masters of our own energy security this and next winter, on the basis of unity and solidarity.

RT @EUClimateAction: You’d better bee-lieve it - 🐝 are awesome!
In Europe, 🐝 pollinate over 80% of crops & wild 🌿
But they're in serious decline due to pollution & climate change.
We need 🐝 to preserve biodiversity & food as we know it.
Let's take care of 🐝 & let them bee!

There’s strong willingness in 🇪🇪 to shape this just transition. In Ida-Viru mayor Raik & local businesses work on new opportunities for the region, with impressive plans of Ragn Sells to reuse oil shale ash. The project exemplifies how, in a circular economy trash can become cash

Very good to meet president @AlarKaris, @ratasjuri, and the 🇪🇪 parliament today. We discussed Estonia’s climate and environment policies, and the need for a just transition for the country’s oil shale regions. @EU_Commission will support Ida-Viru on its way to climate neutrality.

Back in March we showed it could be done. In Versailles, Europe’s leaders agreed it should be done. And today, we set out how to do it.

🌳Trees are our best allies in the fight against the climate and biodiversity crises: they purify our air, cool cities, and take up CO2
