Georgia is at a crossroads. It should stay the course on the road to Europe.

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.

[2024-04-24 10:18 UTC]

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.

Good call with

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.

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.

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.

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 ↓
