Europe needs to reduce its dependency on fossil fuels. We need to stop protecting fossil and boost investment in real solutions. The Energy Charter Treaty is not helping us to do so. That's why our message is clear: time to get out and get ahead. #ExitECT
RT @CANEurope: 🎉Hooray for climate! Key 🇪🇺Member States blocked the #EnergyCharterTreaty reform & are withdrawing instead.
But the fight isn’t over: decisive vote on the ECT in @E…
Vandaag viert het Europees Parlement haar 70e verjaardag, een bijzonder moment. 🎉🇪🇺
Voor mij is het niet alleen één van de machtigste, maar vooral het mooiste parlement ter wereld. Daar mijn steentje aan mogen bijdragen, blijft een ongelofelijke eer.
It is an honour to speak today at the 'health Security in the EU' Conference as Chair of the Special Committee on COVID-19. The mission of our Committee is straightforward: to prepare the EU for new crises by drawing lessons from the pandemic.
"This is a victory for girls who cannot be who they cannot see." So proud of the hard work of @TheProgressives for the #WomenOnBoards directive. Congratulations @larawoltersEU and @Evelyn_Regner. 🌹👏
RT @TheProgressives: The reason for the under-representation of women in board rooms is not a lack of merit or talent. It's structural problems that disadvantage women in their careers.

“One day in lockdown cost us ten times what we spent on vaccine development..we need wartime financing when our economies are collapsing”
Van Brempt calls for a dedicated budget line for this
We agree!

RT @MarinettiC: @kvanbrempt "the #COVID19 crisis has uncovered not only a health crisis but:
- an equality crisis
- a fundamental rights crisis

Positive sounds that a deal on the inclusion of the maritime sector in ETS is in the making. It is crucial to have a carbon price on maritime shipping emissions. Let's lead the way!
RT @TheProgressives: Today at COVI committee's debate on the impact of the pandemic on the labour market, we reiterated our priority: essential workers across sectors - from nurses to truck drivers - must be better protected by the 🇪🇺 in the future @josiannecutar
Today we kicked off the first hearing on the socio-economic pillar of the COVI committee. We welcomed the @ilo to set the scene and give us an international perspective and we heard from both the employees' & employer's organisations.
De steun voor het Energy Charter Treaty brokkelt verder af. Hoog tijd dat België hetzelfde doet. @Zu_Demir @TinneVdS
RT @anna_cavazzini: #BREAKING 🔥 Deutschland kündigt an, den Energiecharta-Vertrag zu verlassen. Einer der besten Tage für das Klima und die Energiewende! Es ist ein wichtiges Signal an die Kommission: jetzt muss auch die EU den Austritt vorbereiten!
RT @larawoltersEU: Silvio Berlusconi has finally left the European Parliament. Not that we ever saw him. Fear not, he has found himself a worthy replacement in Mussolini’s granddaughter. Just another day in the @EPPGroup ! 🤯
Highly interesting panel today with experts and colleagues on the EU trade tool to ban forced labour. We welcome the @EU_Commission proposal but will work hard to make it more ambitious. We need an effective and enforceable instrument that puts the workers first.
Tune in to the @TheProgressives event on banning forced labour where I will discuss the EU trade tool to take on this serious problem with panelists @hderengerve, @antoniojgambini, Jeffrey Vogt, @rglucks1, @larawoltersEU and @SchaldemoseMEP

Join us tomorrow at the @TheProgressives
event on banning forced labour for a discussion about the @EU_Commission proposal for a trade tool that effectively tackles this grave issue ➡️ a key demand for S&D.
RT @TimmermansEU: We have a deal!
It’s no wonder the first #Fitfor55 deal is on the CO2 car standards: the pace of change in the past years has been truly remarkable.
EU car industry is ready, consumers are eager to embrace zero-emission mobility. So let’s go full speed ahead!
RT @salideville: Eindelijk heeft een journalist die vraag eens aan iemand van PVDA gesteld: “Poetin of Biden?”.
@RaoulHedebouw kan er niet op antwoorden. Begint over Bush en de Palestijnse zaak, om het niet over Rusland te moeten hebben. Textbook whataboutism. Gevaarlijke partij.

Belangrijk debat over het Europese energievraagstuk met @BertWollants, @pauwelu en @gerardgovers.
Om de #energiecrisis aan te pakken hebben we snel efficiënte maatregelen nodig:
👉 ontkoppeling v gas- en energieprijs
👉 prijsplafond op gas
👉 hervorming energiemarkt
