Everything depends on the teams - the team of teams of @europarl_en, @EUCouncil & @EU_Commission made #DSA happen last night! Thanks 💚
It’s a wrap! We have a deal on the #DSA! Two years after we tabled the proposal 🙏 @SchaldemoseMEP and @cedric_o - and our amazing teams - for great cooperation 🇪🇺
Ta da! 16 hours, lots of sweets (but cookies still declined ;) We have a deal on the #DSA: The Digital Services Act will make sure that what is illegal offline is also seen & dealt with as illegal online - not as a slogan, as reality! And always protecting freedom of expression!
Arrived and ready for the negotiation on the #DSA today! We may take a big step today for a safe and accountable online environment: What is illegal offline, should also be seen and treated as illegal online! #bridgebuilding
We never know how a crisis will look. But we do know that crisis management requires a smooth functioning 🇪🇺 #SingleMarket. With preparation we can better anticipate how to deal with a new crisis situation. So have your say here: https://bit.ly/3JTMVCs
The people 💛💙 of Ukraine deserve all our support & solidarity. With today’s pledging event #StandUpForUkraine we are mobilising the global community to raise much needed funding and aid for the millions of people fleeing Putin’s bombs
RT @vonderleyen: President @ZelenskyyUa, we heard you.
You called on the world to join forces in support of those fleeing the invasion, inside and outside Ukraine.
We respond today with #StandUpForUkr…
Knitting keeps me focused & gives me peace of mind. Wool has so many potential uses for health and well-being. But most of the 150 million kg produced each year in 🇪🇺 are wasted. Thank you @ewe_foundation for promoting wool’s circular economy #EuropeanWoolDay #EWDay2022🐑🧶🧵
RT @vonderleyen: It was important to start my visit in Bucha.
Because in Bucha our humanity was shattered.
My message to Ukrainian people:
Those responsible for the atrocities will be brought to justice.
Your fight is our fight.
I’m in Kyiv today to tell you that Europe is on your side.
RT @vonderleyen: We can never match the sacrifice of the Ukrainian people.
But we are mobilizing our economic power to make Putin pay.
We have imposed heavy sanctions against Russia & are already preparing the 6th wave.
Russia will descend, while Ukraine is marching towards a European future.
Glad to be back in person at the #ATSPRING. I’ve missed being here in person. We discussed #competition and consumer protection. Our joint aim is to keep markets open, fair and competitive. We do that best with 🇪🇺🇺🇸 🇧🇷 cooperation and trust amongst enforcers.
It was great meeting with you again @AmbassadorTai. Looking forward to welcoming you in Paris Saclay next 15-16 May for the 🇪🇺🇺🇸 Trade & Technology Council #TTC ministerial. In these critical times, our transatlantic partnership is more important than ever 💛💙
🇪🇺 keeps increasing #sanctions against Russia with a strong 5th package. Work continues, everything is on the table. We are working to rapidly stop our energy dependency from Russia, including by banning coal imports. Talking with @DavidWestin @BloombergTV https://bloom.bg/3KpKMiH
We already have several 🇪🇺 🇺🇸 joint, strong #sanctions against Russia because of Putin’s war. We can all do something to help Ukraine. Stop energy dependency. Going slower on the highway. Cutting showers shorter. Every little action counts. Thank you @jchatterleyCNN for this talk
RT @jchatterleyCNN: "I thought the fall of the Berlin Wall and reunification of #Germany & #Europe would be the biggest things I would experience in my lifet…
RT @danprimack: Beginning in 5
RT @CNMC_ES: Thank you EVP @vestager for the fruitful meeting. Many challenges lie ahead. We continue working side by side.
Great to catch up with @canifernandez President of the Spanish National Commission for Markets & Competition. Important work is done at the authority and amazing leadership. Thanks @canifernandez!
RT @laurnorman: “...so that we will really limit the source of revenues of Russia from fossil fuels. This has to end, and this is the next step we will have to take together.” -2-
RT @laurnorman: “But now, we have to look into oil and we will have to look into the revenues that Russia gets from the fossil fuels,” said @vonderleyen “And we really have to make an effort, for example to take a share to an escrow account,” -1-
Looking forward!
