Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen@respublicae.eu

Congratulations, @oliverroepke, on your election as President of the @EU_EESC.

The strong alliance the EESC nurtures between trade unions, employers, and civil society is a bond built on cooperation and solidarity.

It strengthens our society and the EU.

Good exchange with clean tech business leaders.

We need companies fully on board on the way to net-zero.

So as policy-makers, we have to set the right conditions:

Faster permitting
Less red tape
More predictability for investments
Diverse supply chains for materials.

Glad to be in Ostend for the #NorthSeaSummit.

Today 🇧🇪🇩🇰🇩🇪🇳🇱🇱🇺🇫🇷🇮🇪🇳🇴🇬🇧 will double down on the targets set in Esbjerg last year for offshore wind production.

We need that ambition.

It will give us all the wind we need in our sails, as we set course onto climate neutrality.

Writing a new present and future is always a possibility.

The Windsor Framework is a new beginning for old friends.

An opportunity to focus on the future of our partnership.

And on what brings us together.

With the Good Friday (Belfast) Agreement, leaders of Northern Ireland, Ireland and the UK put an end to decades of violence and gave new generations the most precious gift.

The promise of a peaceful future.

I’m glad to be in Belfast today for this important anniversary.

Our approach should be de-risking, but not decoupling.

For this we need:

→A more competitive, resilient economy

→Bolder, better use of trade defence instruments

→Addressing leakage of emerging or sensitive tech through investment controls

→Cooperating with partners

Congratulations @kajakallas for your new term as Estonian Prime Minister.

China and the EU have the duty to uphold and promote the rules-based international order.

Starting with the end of the Russian invasion and withdrawal of its troops.

Our economies are strongly interconnected but the EU trade deficit is increasing due to discriminatory practices.

I discussed with Premier Li how to rebalance our trade.

We should resume our High Level Economic and Trade Dialogue to engage on this.

Insightful discussion with @EuropeanChamber
 
China is a crucial trade partner but EU businesses face many discriminatory hurdles.

European companies have so much to offer China.

But they need a level-playing field to invest and provide their goods and services.

EU-China relations are extensive and complex.
 
How we manage them will impact EU prosperity and security.

I am in Beijing to discuss this relationship - and its future - with President Xi and Premier Li.

Bonne discussion avec @EmmanuelMacron aujourd'hui.

We will continue to support efforts to make sure that Putin can be held accountable for the crime of aggression.

To that end, we continue to support the creation of a dedicated tribunal, if that’s what it takes.

We want justice for Ukraine and for Ukrainians.

What happened in Bucha one year ago was not an isolated episode.
 
Those executions in cold blood were part of a bigger plan.
 
The Kremlin's plan to eliminate Ukrainians.

Their national identity.

Their sense of being.

War criminals will be held accountable.

Our story about our relationship to China is not fully written.

We must show that our system and values delivers prosperity and security.

And always be ready to talk and work with those who see the world differently.

We are exploring an instrument on outbound investment.

To avoid enhancing the military and intelligence capabilities of those who are also systemic rivals with tech and knowledge transfers that comes with some investments.

We will present ideas later this year.

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. ↓
