RT @c_lindner: Freue mich über den Besuch der EU-Kommissarin und liberalen Kollegin Margrethe @vestager am heutigen #Europatag. Sie sorgt für die Begrenzung von Subventionen. Das stärkt nicht nur fairen Wettbewerb, sondern verhindert auch die finanzielle Überforderung der Staatshaushalte. CL https://t.co/Ga5lpA7mdQ https://t.co/0DedHcpYHH
