Green light to the €4.7 billion Dutch recovery plan!

With almost half of its budget dedicated to climate action, 🇳🇱 has one of the greenest #NextGenerationEU plans. https://nitter.eu/i/broadcasts/1yoJMZvvyBYxQ

Looking back at a decisive year.

We were confronted with so many challenges.

And we work hard to come out stronger and more determined than ever.

To support 🇺🇦 for as long as it takes.
Guarantee our energy independence.
Prepare our climate-neutral future.

🇪🇺 will prevail!

Good to speak with @jonasgahrstore on 🇺🇦 and energy.

🇳🇴 has increased its gas production to supply the EU.

Norway is a true anchor for Europe's energy security.

The times are tough, especially for vulnerable households and businesses.

But we shall overcome with our European strength - our unity and our solidarity.

Here are the 5 measures that the @EU_Commission will discuss with EU countries at the Energy Ministers meeting on Friday ↓

5) Cap on Russian gas

We must cut Russia’s revenues which Putin uses to finance this atrocious war against Ukraine.

We are prepared for this.

At the beginning of the war, Russia’s pipeline gas was 40% of all imported gas.

Today it is now only 9% of our gas imports.

4) Liquidity Support for energy utility companies

They must be supported to cope with the volatility of the markets.

We will update our temporary framework to enable state guarantees to be delivered rapidly.

3) Solidarity contribution for fossil fuel companies

Oil and gas companies have also made massive profits.

We will therefore propose a solidarity contribution for fossil fuel companies.

2) Cap on revenues of companies producing electricity with low costs.

Low carbon energy sources are making unexpected revenues.

Time for consumers to benefit from their low costs

We will propose to re-channel these unexpected profits to support vulnerable people and companies.

1) Smart Savings of Electricity

We need a strategy to flatten the peaks, which drive the price of electricity. 

We will propose a mandatory target for reducing electricity use at peak hours.

Russia is manipulating our energy markets and we are confronted with astronomic prices.

So we will table measures to protect vulnerable consumers and businesses.

We have the economic strength, the political will and unity to keep the upper hand.

Ситуація в Україні вимагає нашої неослабної підтримки.

Сьогодні @EU_Commission пропонує Україні додаткові €5 млрд макрофінансової допомоги.

Це доповнює €10 млрд, які Європейський Союз вже надав у вигляді фінансової, гуманітарної та військової допомоги.

The situation in Ukraine requires our full support.

Today the @EU_Commission proposes an additional €5 billion in macro-financial assistance for the country.

This is on top of the €10 billion the EU already provided in financial, humanitarian and military aid.

There can be no business as usual with Russia.

We propose to fully suspend the EU Visa Facilitation Agreement and not to recognise Russian passports issued in occupied 🇺🇦 regions.

Visa facilitation is a token of trust, which Russia's war of aggression has completely shattered

This has been a year like no other.

But we have shown, once again, that challenges make our Union stronger.

So let us come together and reflect on our common European future.

I’m looking forward to sharing with you my State of the Union address.

The situation on the ground in 🇺🇦 still requires our unabated support.
 
On top of the €10 billion we have provided so far, we will propose an additional €5 billion in macro-financial assistance this week.
 
The EU will be by Ukraine’s side, for as long as it takes.

The @EU_Commission proposal will aim to:

• Reduce electricity demand (peaks)
• Price cap on 🇷🇺 pipeline gas
• Help vulnerable consumers & businesses with revenue from the energy sector
• Enable support to electricity producers facing liquidity challenges linked to volatility

Putin is using energy as a weapon by cutting supply and manipulating our energy markets.

He will fail.

Europe will prevail.

The @EU_Commission is preparing proposals to help vulnerable households and businesses to cope with high energy prices.

Congratulations @trussliz.
The EU and the UK are partners.

We face many challenges together, from climate change to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

I look forward to a constructive relationship, in full respect of our agreements.
