Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen@respublicae.eu

Ukraine is carrying a heavy burden on its shoulders for all of us.
Today, we disburse an additional €1.5 bn, under the €50 bn Ukraine Facility.
This is vital to keep Ukraine's state & services running, while it fights back the aggressor.
Europe remains united and resolute.

The historic 2004 enlargement was the birth of a new era.
Built on the promise that all Europeans can be masters of their own destiny.
Together with your ingenuity, Europe has made you stronger.
And you have made Europe so much stronger, too ↓

With the right political action, we can trigger a new surge of European competitiveness.
At the last
https://nitter.privacydev.net/search?q=%23EUCO
, EU leaders gave us a clear mandate to turn this political will into action.
So Europe remains the global beating heart of industry & innovation ↓

Good call with
https://nitter.privacydev.net/POTUS
.
I thank the US House of Representatives for the bipartisan support to Ukraine.
A historical decision that will make a decisive difference.
We also discussed the evolving situation in the Middle East.
And the risk of foreign interference in upcoming elections.

[2024-04-22 17:32 UTC]

Europe can remain a global industrial powerhouse in the coming decades.
But the world is changing, and we'll have to change.
At the EU level, we’re acting to strengthen our competitiveness.
So Europe remains a place to do business ↓

Norway is a key EU ally.
Great talk with
https://nitter.privacydev.net/jonasgahrstore
on our cooperation in energy and climate, reinforced by the 🇪🇺🇳🇴 Green Alliance.
I welcome your new defence plan and strong support for Ukraine.
We also discussed the need to stabilise the situation in the Middle East.

[2024-04-21 15:14 UTC]

I welcome the overwhelming positive vote by the US House of Representatives.
Ukraine deserves all the support it can get against Russia.
Now, we are asking the US Senate to vote as quickly as possible as lives are at stake.
Transatlantic allies are united in support for freedom and democracy.

[2024-04-20 18:18 UTC]

Russia’s hybrid attacks are not just about Finland's security.
This is about the security of the entire EU.
This is why I was here today.
To tell you that Europe stands by your side.
For the security of the borders and to support the border regions.

[2024-04-19 08:46 UTC]

Very glad to be here with you, dear
https://nitter.privacydev.net/PetteriOrpo
, in Lappeeranta, to visit the Finnish border and assess the situation.
We live in tense times and stand side-by-side to ensure the security of the EU’s external borders against hybrid threats.

[2024-04-19 06:04 UTC]

Dear
https://nitter.privacydev.net/EnricoLetta
, your report on our Single Market comes at the right time.
Now is indeed the time to adopt our policies to the changing internal and external environment.
It’s the only way to ensure high levels of prosperity for everyone ↓

R to @vonderleyen: Companies in the EU could annually raise an additional €470 billion from the capital markets.

So, we need to improve access to capital.

We need to reduce the cost of energy affecting our competitiveness.

Address the lack of skills.

And continue our work for open and fair trade.

[2024-04-18 15:59 UTC]

Our Union's competitiveness and single market start from a strong base.
Now, we need to transform this into sustainable long-term growth.
I see four major areas for action ↓

[2024-04-18 15:48 UTC]

R to @vonderleyen: In this changing security environment, we need to focus on three priorities:

Strengthening Europe’s defence preparedness.

Turbo charging our defence industrial capacity—with spending more, spending better, spending European.

Strengthening our core partnerships.

[2024-04-17 12:35 UTC]

Europe’s defence is a task for all of Europe.
Europe is responding to increasing threats with practical steps.
We’re spending more developing European projects & capacities.
And investing in our high-end defence capabilities.
It’s time to step up ↓

[2024-04-17 12:10 UTC]

R to @vonderleyen: The Declaration we’ve just signed reaffirms our commitment to the European Pillar of Social Rights.

With Mario Draghi’s & @EnricoLetta’s reports on our competitiveness & Single Market, it shows us the way for the future.

A way to confirm our Union’s primacy, as the place to live and to do business.

[2024-04-16 16:16 UTC]

We have built sound economic policies, with a strong social heart.
This is what makes our Union unique.
Now, our Union must continue to deliver for people and for business.
This is the Union we're building together ↓

Ukraine's reform & investment strategy offers a solid basis for a more modern, prosperous Ukraine, on its EU path.
The
https://nitter.privacydev.net/EU_Commission
's endorsement of the Ukraine Plan today is a big step forward.
It paves the way for regular payments under the €50 billion Ukraine Facility.

[2024-04-15 16:45 UTC]

Ważny dzień dla 🇵🇱 Polski!
With the progress made in implementing its recovery plan, Poland will now get a first
https://nitter.privacydev.net/search?q=%23NextGenerationEU
payment of €6.3 billion.
This is just the beginning.
Poland is set to receive almost €59.8 billion in the coming years.
Gratulacje!

[2024-04-15 10:07 UTC]

Today, we, the G7 Leaders, condemned Iran's unprecedented attack against Israel in the strongest terms.
We express our solidarity and support to the people of Israel.
And reaffirm our commitment towards its security.
We'll continue to work to stabilize the situation.

[2024-04-14 16:01 UTC]

RT by @vonderleyen: On behalf of EU Member States, I condemn in the strongest terms the Iranian attacks against Israel and call on all parties to exercise utmost restraint.

I just spoke to Iran’s FM Abdollahian to convey these messages & urge Iran not to escalate further.
