Honoured to be at the plenary session of the Venice Commission.
#RuleOfLaw is a core value of the EU. It is part of our identity, and it ensures that other values, including #democracy and respect for fundamental rights, can be preserved.
🙏 for the excellent cooperation!

News about arbitrary suspension of journalists on Twitter is worrying. EU’s Digital Services Act requires respect of media freedom and fundamental rights. This is reinforced under our #MediaFreedomAct. @elonmusk should be aware of that. There are red lines. And sanctions, soon.

👏I welcome the agreement reached today between the European Parliament and the Council on the Directive on pay transparency measures.

The future Framework builds on our good 🇪🇺🇺🇸cooperation and progress we have made over the years.
As democracies, we need to stand up for fundamental rights, including data protection. This is necessity, not a luxury in the increasingly digitalised and data driven economy.

At #JHA @EUCouncil:
🙏 @EU2022_CZ for advancing on the #AntiSLAPPs proposal.
In #democracy we need a healthy and pluralistic public debate, including on difficult issues. This debate relies on the public participation by journalists and civil society. No one should be silenced.

👏Ochrana spotřebitele v praxi: inspekce se pustila do kontroly dvojí kvality a odhalila první případy. Vítám, že dotčená firma přislíbila nápravu – a věřím že se podaří neospraveditelným rozdílům ve složení potravin bránit dál, až k jejich vymýcení. https://www.novinky.cz/clanek/ekonomika-dvoji-kvalita-potravin-opet-na-scene-pro-cesko-byla-pochutina-s-palmovym-olejem-40416471#dop_ab_variant=1&dop_source_zone_name=novinky.sznhp.box&source=hp&seq_no=7&utm_campaign=&utm_medium=z-boxiku&utm_source=www.seznam.cz

I welcome the adoption of additional sanctions on Russia.
We are stepping up our action against Putin Russia’s war propaganda.
RT @vonderleyen: Russia continues to bring death and devastation to Ukraine.

We stand by Ukraine and we are making Russia pay for its cruelty

The existing 8 packages of sanctions we introduced so far are already biting hard.

Today we are stepping up the pressure on Russia with a 9th package↓

@EU_Commission @dreynders @EU_Justice It is unthinkable that a parent in one 🇪🇺 State is not recognised as a parent in another 🇪🇺 State. This puts some children at risk, as they would not have guaranteed access to their rights, such as succession.
