Hilde Vautmans @hildevautmans@respublicae.eu

We @europarl_en were very clear when we adopted my EU-China report: China is a partner, but also a competitor and a strategic rival that does not share our values. This must be reflected in our European strategy and discussions at the #EUCO today! https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-leaders-leaders-set-to-soften-tone-on-china/

Today is a monumental day for the EU’s fight for women's rights and equality🙋‍♀️. With our @EP_GenderEqual Directive against gender-based violence & the instrument of the EU's accession to the Istanbul Convention, we will ensure violence against women is punished throughout the EU. https://t.co/lJvJE7JX7r

Today, @EP_GenderEqual will vote on the regulation of prostitution in the EU. Instead of criminalizing sex workers, we should defend their rights and protect them. Criminalization when there is no exploitation makes sex workers more vulnerable, not less. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mKHuuk6jriEWeVOUUugDcNY-jb_fOcfa/view

RT Renew Europe
The 🇪🇺 Parliament has a strong mandate to negotiate with the Council new rules for asylum & migration. We want a deal that will ensure:
✅more solidarity & a fairer share of the responsibilities
✅ a new mechanism to manage crises
✅ common European standards on migration https://t.co/waAKXQo9pw

Good that there is finally a 11th sanctions package on circumvention, but it is far from strong enough. The EU must ban Russian diamonds and sanction the 6000 individuals on the Navalny list to stop Russia's war machine! https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-countries-agree-on-next-sanctions-package-against-russia/

7 years after the #Brexit referendum, it is clear that ''Take back control'' was an empty phrase with dire consequences. There is still a future in the EU for the UK, if the next generation chooses it! https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-eu-trade-border-queues-b2362381.html

On this World Day against Child Labour, 160 million (!) children around the world are still forced to work. Let's lead by example in the EU: don’t allow any product from child labour in our market & fight the root causes. Children belong in schools & playgrounds, not workplaces.

Glad to see much needed progress on these important files. Only a truly European Migration and Asylum Policy can guarantee effective and humane solutions to asylum and migration. @europarl_en will deliver. https://www.ft.com/content/89ddf6d4-1c50-4538-8da5-7d957c172edc

This horrible news shows that @europarl_en must deliver on the #CSAM proposal. Voluntary measures against child sexual abuse are not enough. Online providers have a moral duty to protect children and the EU must hold providers accountable. @Childmanifesto https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-commissioner-thierry-breton-to-mark-zuckerberg-explain-yourself-over-instagram-pedophile-network/

Another outrageous act by the Russian military that demonstrates the brutality of Russia’s war against Ukraine. Only Ukraine's victory will put an end to this. Let this horrible crime once again remind us as EU to increase our support. https://www.politico.eu/article/russians-shooting-at-rescuers-in-flooded-areas-zelenskyy-tells-politico/

Vandaag vieren we 20 jaar homohuwelijk in Belgie! Een moment om stil te staan bij wat wij liberalen voor gelijke rechten bereikt hebben. Maar ook om te spreken over de uitdagingen waar LGBTI-personen nog steeds voor staan: http://openvldbrussel.be/nieuws-2430

On this International Day of the Child, I reiterate that it is my job as legislator to protect children from harm. We as politicians must speak up for those who are the most vulnerable. The fight for children's rights will always remain my priority @Childmanifesto

Breaking: The @europarl_en
just approved the Act in Support of Ammunition Production (ASAP)
@ThierryBreton. This enables the EU to swiftly and jointly produce and deliver much-needed ammunition to Ukraine 🇺🇦. Now the Council must act quickly on #Europeandefence.

Good that the Council makes progress on our important #CSAM file. The Commission responded clearly to concerns: there is NO general scanning and detection orders are a last resort. Children's rights and fundamental rights must go hand in hand. https://www.euractiv.com/section/law-enforcement/news/eu-council-advances-on-removal-orders-reporting-on-anti-child-abuse-law/
