We must ensure diplomatic stability and open communication lines with China.

We also do not want to cut economic ties with a vital trading partner.

We need to focus on de-risking; not de-coupling. ↓

We promised to support Ukraine as long as it takes.

And we are keeping our promises.

€2 billion from the Peace Facility will ensure continued delivery of ammunition to Ukraine.

Tonight the @EU_Commission joins millions across the globe and switches off the lights for our planet.

Leaders had strongly backed the main pillars and objectives of the Green Deal Industrial Plan.
 
So the @EU_Commission tabled concrete proposals to roll it out:

→ Net-Zero Industry Act
→ Critical Raw Materials Act
 
I now call for a rapid agreement on our proposals.

Glad to meet President @Christodulides ahead of EUCO.

We discussed his proposal for the resumption of negotiations for a settlement in Cyprus, within the agreed framework.

We also discussed how to further support Ukraine and tackle circumvention of our sanctions on Russia.

For the fight against climate change, we need to speed up the net-zero shift of the EU industry.

The Net-Zero Industry Act will help create a simpler and more predictable regulatory environment for clean tech.

It will scale up net-zero technologies & create good jobs in Europe.

Without critical raw materials, there is no green transition and digital transition.

The Critical Raw Materials Act will improve Europe's refining, processing and recycling of raw materials.

And create a Critical Raw Materials Club with reliable partners to diversify supply.

Our single market underpins our prosperity & competitiveness.

To improve competitiveness, we need to increase our research spending target, ensure regulation enables business and reduce unnecessary reporting obligations.

By 2030, we want Europe to be able to produce at least 40% of its clean tech.

The Net-Zero Industry Act will speed up and simplify permitting and funding.

The Critical Raw Materials Act will help secure the critical materials needed for the digital and green transition.

Consumers are at the heart of our electricity market reform.

The reform we present will reduce the impact of gas on electricity bills.

And bring the benefit of low-cost renewable energy closer to the consumers.

We will increase our bilateral cooperation to address coercion against our companies and economies.

We will work to further align our strategic investment and export controls, including on outbound investment.

This work on economic security will also feed into the @G7 Summit.
