I welcome last night’s political agreement on EDIRPA, the common procurement instrument for Europe’s Defence industry.
EDIRPA will give the defence industry greater predictability.
Help boost deliveries for Ukraine.
And bring us closer to a 🇪🇺 Defence Union.

Re Europe is the 1st major economy to set out an economic security strategy, with 3 strands.
1. Promote our competitiveness
2. Protect ourselves with targeted tools, initiatives to come by end of year
3. Partner, to strengthen trade and supply chains https://t.co/PwXKjFhwE5

EU-Mercosur is the largest, most ambitious trade agreement our regions have negotiated.

A combined market of 700 million consumers – the potential for economic progress is immense!

We need to get it done. I count on 🇦🇷 as current Mercosur chair. https://n.respublicae.eu/i/broadcasts/1mnxeRlMjbWKX

The agreement we just signed on Critical Raw Materials is great news.

It promotes sustainable mining and aims to make the Argentinian raw materials industry thrive, along the whole value chain.

That means new jobs, local jobs and so many opportunities for Argentinians.

#GlobalGateway can support Argentina to become a champion of renewables and a key player of the clean tech sector.

With transparent investments, which can give a good boost to your economy.

Truly win-win. https://n.respublicae.eu/i/broadcasts/1vOGwMkbywvxB

I discussed the future of 🇪🇺🇦🇷 relations with President @alferdez.
 
Our partnership is thriving.
 
The EU is the biggest investor in Argentina, and we can do so much more.
 
By concluding EU-MERCOSUR fast.

And preparing a solid pipeline of projects under #GlobalGateway.

I’d like to relaunch our relationship in 3 priority sectors:

1. Clean growth
2. A digital revolution with a human dimension
3. Trade that strengthens our partnership

All this with the support of #GlobalGateway, Europe’s offer that ensures that local communities benefit first.

Great job, Croatia!

The #EUSolidarityFund supported reconstruction work in Zagreb and Petrinja after a series of earthquakes, with more than a billion euros.

#StrongerTogether
RT @andrejplenkovic: Hrvatska je iskoristila sva dodijeljena sredstva iz #EUSF za zagrebački i petrinjski potres! Pokrenuli smo i realiziramo niz projekata obnove obrazovnih, kulturnih i zdravstvenih objekata te prometne infrastrukture. Hvala @EU_Commission @vonderleyen na podršci Hrvatsko…

President @LulaOficial you brought Brazil back to the global stage.

Let’s breathe new life into our partnership.

With, first, stronger cooperation on climate action, trade & renewables.

I also expressed our appreciation of Brazil’s condemnation of Russia’s war on Ukraine.

The EU is already the top investor in Latin America.

We can do much more by concluding EU-MERCOSUL.

On top, Global Gateway, our investment plan for the world, will invest €10 billion in LatAm & Caribbean ↓ https://n.respublicae.eu/i/broadcasts/1MnGnpQPzAwxO

I am saddened by the news of the passing of former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.

He led Italy in a time of political transition and since then continued to shape his beloved country.

I extend my condolences to his family and the Italian people.
