Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen@respublicae.eu

The Citizens’ panel have proven that this form of democracy works.
 
It should become part of the way we make policy.
 
I will propose to give Citizens Panels the time and resources to make recommendations before we present certain key legislative proposals.

We need to go even further.

For example, I have always argued that unanimity voting in some key areas no longer makes sense, if we want to move faster.

Europe should also play a greater role in health or defence.

Dear European citizens: your message has been received. It is now time for us to deliver.
 
We will set out next month what is needed to bring your proposals to life.

I will announce the first new proposals responding to your report in my State of the Union address in September.

You're giving us a push to speed up the work already ongoing – on the #EUGreenDeal or on making society fairer.

In some areas we have already started the work you asked for. On restoring nature for example.

Or banning products made by forced labour from entering our market.

With the Conference on the Future of Europe, Europeans have shown that they want to build a better future by living up to the most enduring promises of the past.

Promises of peace and prosperity, fairness and progress.

Followed up on yesterday’s G7 discussion with @ZelenskyyUa

On #EuropeDay, we discussed EU support and Ukraine’s European pathway.

Looking forward to receiving the answers to the EU membership questionnaire.

The @EU_Commission will aim to deliver its opinion in June.

Tonight, on the eve of Europe Day, our buildings are shining bright with the colors of the Ukrainian flag.

Shining as bright as our hope to see peace return to Europe.

And to start weaving our common future with our Ukrainian friends.

Today we #G7 discussed with @ZelenskyyUa how to strengthen our support to Ukraine in the face of the Russian invasion.

From further financial assistance to keep the economy running & measures to help Ukraine exports, esp. agricultural goods:

@EU_Commission stands by Ukraine.

Putins Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine ruft wach, warum wir morgen den Europatag feiern.

Vor 72 Jahren wurde unser friedliches, wohlhabendes Europa aus der Taufe gehoben.

Heute stehen wir einig und stark zur 🇺🇦 die sich eine Zukunft in Freiheit ersehnt.

Eine Zukunft in Europa.

L’invasion de l’Ukraine nous rappelle pourquoi nous célébrons la Journée de l'Europe demain.

La naissance d’une Europe pacifique et prospère.

72 ans après, l'Europe est unie dans la solidarité avec nos amis ukrainiens, qui aspirent à un avenir libre.

Un avenir européen.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine reminds us why we are celebrating Europe Day tomorrow.

The day when a peaceful, prosperous Europe was born.

72 years later, Europe is united in solidarity with our Ukrainian friends, who aspire to a future of freedom.

A European future.

Delighted to meet @sanchezcastejon in Barcelona in the margins of @CdEconomia award ceremony.

We discussed our support to Ukraine and energy with #RePowerEU, in view of the next #EUCO

As of today, we have provided roughly €100 billion in investment under #NextGenerationEU!
 
And Spain is a frontrunner.

For example, #NextGenerationEU is turning Catalonia into a 🇪🇺 hydrogen valley.
 
This is exactly what we wanted to achieve with #NextGenerationEU

Spain has a resilient system, based on renewable and diverse energy sources.
 
You are the main hub for LNG from Africa and the Americas.
 
With #RePowerEU we will transform our 🇪🇺 energy system. We will privilege cross-border projects, like the critical connection between 🇵🇹🇪🇸🇫🇷

We are tapping into the true power of our Union.

We first did it with our Vaccines Strategy.

Then, with #NextGenerationEU.

And now, with our full solidarity with Ukraine, our sanctions on Russia, and our drive to free ourselves from Russian fossil fuels.

Honored to receive the @CdEconomia ‘European Construction” award.

This year’s theme is ´Europe’s moment’; an expression I remember using two years ago for the creation of #NextGenerationEU.

This is, truly, Europe's moment. And we are seizing it.

In diesen Tagen steht viel auf dem Spiel.

Der Rest der Welt beobachtet genau, mit welcher Haltung und Konsequenz wir Europäer für unsere Werte einstehen.

Unsere Antworten werden die nächsten Jahrzehnte prägen.
In Europa, und weltweit.

I also want to thank Poland for its solidarity towards refugees
 
Last week, we frontloaded €3.5 billion to support Member States in hosting refugees.

Europe stands by you.

Today we came together with a clear purpose: to support the brave people of Ukraine.

The EU answered the call, once more, to support Ukraine.

Thank you @SwedishPM and @MorawieckiM for organising this donors’ conference. https://nitter.eu/i/broadcasts/1YqKDqQAprVGV

We will fully support the reconstruction of Ukraine.

The right investments and the right reforms will not only help build the country anew.

They will also help Ukraine advance on its European path.
