RT @vonderleyen: Today is a good day for Europe.
Congratulations to President @ZelenskyyUA President @Sandumaiamd and Prime Minister @GharibashviliGe
Your countries are part of our European family.

The damage I witnessed today in a forest in #Kyiv region is devastating.
Hundreds of hectares are mined.
It will take generations to reverse this ecocide.
But we will do it.
Ukraine will get its unique Nature back.

The European Union has always been supporting #Ukraine.
An EU-funded water laboratory monitors water quality at the Dnipro river basin, home to more than 20 million people.
Together, we work to heal all that this war has taken away.

While EU leaders decide on #Ukraine’s EU candidacy at #EUCO, I am in #Kyiv with Minister Ruslan Strilets to talk about our 🇪🇺🇺🇦 environment programs in place & boost our partnership to restore its natural environment destroyed by Russia.
Europe is here and Ukraine is in Europe!

Today, we present a pioneering proposal to bring Nature back in Europe!
The first ever Nature Restoration Law.
One that responds to the emergency we face.
To cover at least 20% of land and sea by 2030 and all ecosystems in need by 2050.

Restoration goes beyond Nature protected areas.
It means bringing Nature back to our lives, where we can thrive.
It means more pollinators for food production, more fertile soils, more resilient cities and a more secure future!

No excuses, no delays anymore.
It’s time to stop the biodiversity and climate crises.
With 80% of our ecosystems and 70% of our soils in bad shape, 1 in 3 pollinators and 70% of fish in decline, how can we believe our future, jobs and food are secure?

Excellent news ahead of our Nature Restoration Law proposal tomorrow:

Green light tonight to limit a range of the most harmful chemicals in waste.

A solid step to phase out persistent organic pollutants for a toxic-free environment & ♻️ economy!

The Nature Restoration Law we’ll present on Wednesday, is first & foremost for people.
Europeans have been asking us to repair the damage done.
They demand a healthy environment.
We can deliver that together & for our farmers, foresters & all Europeans.

A historic day for our Union’s future!
Today, we @EU_Commission propose to grant #Ukraine and #Moldova the 🇪🇺 candidacy status as well as to #Georgia after fulfilling certain conditions.
We must be proud of our Union’s openness that looks at the future with optimism & bravery!

We have a deal on @wto fisheries subsidies.
It’s a step forward towards more sustainable management of our global fish populations.
Now we must continue our efforts to fight illegal fisheries subsidies and to support our coastal communities.

Our future food security and resilience relies on Nature.
We need healthy ecosystems, pollinators, rich soils and clean waters to provide for the next generations.
This is a core part of our upcoming Nature Restoration Law next week.

We must protect better journalists & environmentalists who are defending the truth & speak up for our natural environment.
Very saddened to hear about the murder of British journalist Dom Phillips & Brazilian indigenous expert Bruno Pereira.

We must protect #EUForests best way we can!
Our 🇪🇺 firefighting fleet is now in place!

Let’s make sure our forests are safe this summer.
They are irreplaceable.
