”Made in Portugal”

I am sure that in the years to come & with 🇪🇺 #NextGenerationEU funds, this phrase will mean top quality & the greenest product throughout its whole life-cycle.

Proud for the launch of the 🇵🇹 Green Shoe Pact!

Always a pleasure to see Mayor of Lisbon 🇵🇹 @Moedas especially at the heart of an #EUGreenCapital winner.

Lisbon is pushing forward its green transformation: from massively cleaning up wastewater, to free transport for young people the #EUGreenDeal is leading the way!

We see eye to eye with Minister @MariaCeuAntunes when it comes to the importance of agriculture #ForNature.

Striking the right balance between a productive sector & a healthy environment will be crucial to ensure severe droughts & floods won’t threaten its future.

Portugal’s future relies a lot on its oceans’ richness.

Glad to see that the country is currently expanding its #BlueEconomy.

We will be supporting Minister Costa e Silva & @economia_pt to do so with full respect for our oceans.

Today is an anniversary we do not want to repeat.

A war in Europe is a war in our home.

We will win this war.

We will be there to build it back better.

RT @vonderleyen: 🇪🇺🇺🇦 We are with you.

We have been with you in this existential fight from the beginning.

Ukraine has become the centre of our continent.

The place where our values are upheld, where our freedom is defended, where the future of Europe is written.

Слава Україні.

Full house at the 🇵🇹 Parliament @AssembleiaRepub!

3 years in, we talked about implementing the #EUGreenDeal on the ground.

Big bets we must win: more marine protected areas, a solid Nature Restoration Law to shield Portugal against droughts & forest fires.

Glad to be here!

Today we propose to suspend import duties, quotas & trade defence measures on 🇺🇦 exports to 🇪🇺 for another year to support its economy as it bravely faces challenges brought by war.

One of many steps showing our commitment to #Ukraine's wellbeing.

Just devastating to see the long-lasting impact of the war in #Ukraine on environment.

Its scars will haunt russia, as pollution & emissions take a toll on our planet.

The solution we offer: the #NEB Phoenix plan to rebuild and revitalize the country.

Welcome Korea 🇰🇷 to the #BBNJ High Ambition Coalition as we aim for a strong ocean protection agreement.

Committed to €1 billion for climate and biodiversity, we're set to reach 30% target by 2030.

Misleading!

Our @EU_Commission proposal for Industrial Emissions will NOT cover more farms.

In fact, it will cover 50,000 fewer farms than expected.

The socioeconomic costs & benefits will be even more positive.

Please don’t spread misinformation!

Big victory #ForNature in Europe!

Using lead gunshot in wetlands is officially banned.

This will protect the health of our wetlands and will save the lives of around 1 million birds every year from dying of lead poisoning!
