Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen@respublicae.eu

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.

The global market for net-zero technologies is set to triple by 2030.

In other words: the race is on.

We must get our act together if we want to stay frontrunners.

This is what the Green Deal Industrial Plan is all about ↓ https://n.respublicae.eu/i/broadcasts/1eaJbrmwmZjJX

Today @EU_Commission adopted new initiatives on effective European integrated border management and returns.

With this, we set common EU principles for managing our external borders.

Next week at #EUCO, I will present the overall progress on ongoing work to EU leaders.

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.

We’ll continue to support Ukraine and diminish Russia’s ability to wage war.

We are stepping up enforcement of our sanctions to prevent evasion & circumvention.

We must disrupt the supply routes that continue to feed Russia’s military machine and will sanction those involved.

On #IRA, two new major steps:

→ Starting on a critical raw materials agreement

To secure strong supply chains for batteries in 🇪🇺 & ensure access to the 🇺🇸 market

→ Launching a dialogue on Clean Energy Incentives

So our incentives reinforce each other rather than compete

Spoke today with @ZelenskyyUa following the indiscriminate
missile attacks on Ukraine last night.

Russia’s deliberate targeting of civilians and energy grid is a war crime.

It strengthens our common resolve to continue progress in Ukraine’s reform efforts on their 🇪🇺path.

We need all our talents to live up to the big challenges of our times.

But gender equality requires day-to-day commitment.

We have a duty to set an example of what a world of fair chances looks like.

Every day, not just on #InternationalWomensDay

On #IWD2023 I honour the women that are an inspiration to us all.

The women of Ukraine.

Those who, by joining the army, smashed a glass ceiling over the head of the Russian invaders,

And those who have become unbreakable forces for good, like @ZelenskaUA

Le Canada est un partenaire naturel pour les matières premières.
 
Grâce aux minéraux que vous exploitez et à la façon dont vous les exploitez.
 
Car nous aussi, nous tenons au respect de l’environnement, des droits des travailleurs et des communautés locales.

A global tech race has begun.

There is growing competition to attract investment and control the most critical links of vital supply chains.

In this more competitive global environment, Canada and Europe must play on the same team.

Canada’s response to the war in Ukraine has gone above and beyond the call of duty.

They say hard times reveal true friends.

And this is what the European Union and Canada are.

True friends. https://n.respublicae.eu/i/broadcasts/1lPKqBykVMdGb

Inspiring visit of @li_cycle, where lithium batteries are recycled.

Recycling will be a key pillar of our Critical Raw Materials (CRM) Act.

And our CRM Partnership with Canada will strengthen our strategic value chains and help us reach our climate objectives.
