I welcome the resumption of trade negotiations with the Philippines.
An important deliverable of the shared vision I discussed with President
https://nitter.privacydev.net/bongbongmarcos
during my visit to the Philippines in August.
A trade agreement will deepen our ties, bringing us even closer together.

Dear
https://nitter.privacydev.net/Violapamherd
, we meet at a pivotal moment for EU-Swiss relations.
Ready to start negotiations on a modernised partnership that delivers for our citizens.
The groundwork is in place.
Let’s conclude the negotiations still this year.

R to @vonderleyen: Egypt is a pillar of stability and security in the Middle-East.

We will work hand in hand with Egypt and other partners to channel aid to Gaza via all possible routes.

Civilians must be protected and there can be no forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza.

We want to work towards a lasting peace based on a two-state solution.

To reinforce this strategic partnership, the EU is tabling a significant financial and investment support package worth €7.4 billion over the next four years ↓

Six European leaders today in Cairo.
This shows how deeply we value our partnership with Egypt.

[2024-03-17 14:25 UTC]

Glad to be in Cairo to mark a new milestone in the EU-Egypt strategic partnership.
With Egypt’s political and economic weight and its strategic location in a very troubled neighbourhood,
the importance of our relations will only increase over time.

With the right investments, Greenland can turn into a clean energy hub.
You can develop strategic industries, like clean hydrogen.
And create new jobs, good jobs, right here in Greenland.
Here, too, Europe wants to be your partner.

[2024-03-15 14:19 UTC]

With two new agreements, we're taking EU-Greenland cooperation to the next level.
We commit €94 million under

.
To invest in education and new skills for the future.
And in the clean energy transition and the raw materials needed for it.

[2024-03-15 13:22 UTC]

The Faroe Islands are well placed to benefit from hydropower, wind and tidal energy.
Good visit to SEV, a local leader in sustainable energy production.
Confident that the country will achieve its goal of sourcing all land electricity from sustainable supplies by 2030.

[2024-03-14 13:15 UTC]

The Faroe Islands belong to the wider European family.
Today we are opening a new chapter in our partnership.
Deepening our trade relations, including on fisheries.
And expanding our cooperation to digital, skills and the clean energy transition.

[2024-03-14 12:34 UTC]

The EU and the Faroe Islands are like-minded partners bound by shared values and ties of trade and trust.
We will continue to work together for the Arctic to remain a safe and peaceful space ↓

I welcome the result of yesterday’s Ministerial on the Maritime Corridor to Gaza.
The corridor must be part of a sustained effort to increase the flow of aid to Gaza through all routes, including expanded land routes.
A minimum of 500 trucks/day or equivalent is needed now.

[2024-03-14 08:36 UTC]

Good call with Emir of Qatar
https://nitter.privacydev.net/TamimBinHamad
I welcomed that Qatar joins the
Maritime Corridor to provide crucial humanitarian aid to Gaza.
We also exchanged on the effort to secure the release of hostages and establish a much-needed humanitarian pause.

I welcome the
https://nitter.privacydev.net/Europarl_EN
vote on the AI Act.
Europe’s pioneering framework for innovative AI, with clear guardrails.
This will benefit Europe’s fantastic pool of talents.
And set a blueprint for trustworthy AI throughout the world.

[2024-03-13 12:08 UTC]

Since we granted candidate status, Bosnia and Herzegovina has taken impressive steps towards us.
Today the College will decide to recommend to the Council to open accession negotiations with BiH.
Their future lies in our Union.

[2024-03-12 10:03 UTC]

The situation in Gaza has come to a tipping point.
All routes must be used to reach people in need.
This is where the Cyprus maritime corridor comes into play.
The EU will have a coordination team in Cyprus and will finance and steer the flow of goods.

[2024-03-12 08:11 UTC]

Thank you President
https://nitter.privacydev.net/christodulides
for Cyprus’ leadership in setting up the humanitarian maritime corridor to Gaza.
The departure of the first ship is a sign of hope. We will work hard together for many more ships to follow.
We will do everything in our power for aid to reach Palestinians.

I welcome the Council’s agreement on new rights for platform workers.
Our digital economy is evolving; the rights of workers have to evolve too.
Platform workers will enjoy better protection &amp; working conditions.
Platforms will still be able to thrive and innovate.
A win-win.
