In the Political Guidelines, we promised a law to ensure fair minimum wages in the EU.

With today’s political agreement about our proposal on adequate minimum wages, we deliver.

The new rules will protect the dignity of work and make sure that work pays.

We need a strong and ambitious agreement tomorrow between @europarl_en & @EUCouncil on the @EU_Commission's proposal #WomenOnBoards.

Glad to see the commitment & shared ambition across parties.

It’s high time we break the glass ceiling in corporate Europe with rules that work!

100 days ago Russia unleashed its unjustifiable war on Ukraine.

The bravery of Ukrainians commands our respect and our admiration.

The EU stands with Ukraine.

Today in Paris, I will discuss with @emmanuelmacron @Europe2022FR the EU’s current & future support to the country.

Our approval of the Polish #NextGenerationEU plan is a first step.

The money will only be disbursed when the reforms and investments are in place.
 
Implementing this plan will contribute to our common goal: a better future for the Polish people for Poland and for Europe.

The approval of this plan is linked
to clear commitments by Poland on the independence of the judiciary.
 
These commitments, taken in the form of milestones, must be fulfilled before any payment can be made.

It will finance the energy renovation

The Polish plan also foresees €5 billion for the development of renewables.

As well as massive investment in clean mobility.

Thanks to the @Europe2022FR French Presidency, another strong package of sanctions was agreed today against Putin and the Kremlin.

De facto 90% of Russian oil imports to 🇪🇺 will be banned by the end of 2022.

This will reduce Russia’s capacity to finance its war.

Final principle: investments will only fully deliver if they are coupled with ambitious reforms.

For a stronger rule of law or an attractive business environment, for example.

All of this will help rebuild free and independent Ukraine, embedded in a European future #GLOBSEC2022

The following principles will guide our work on a reconstruction platform:

2 - Everyone can contribute, including the private sector
 
3 - The EU will offer a governance structure fit for this long and complex process

In these 15 dramatic weeks, we have learnt so much about the tenacity of the Ukrainian soul.

We will do everything in our power so that Ukrainians can once again be the masters of their own future. #GLOBSEC2022

I welcome the strong message of commitment to our common security sent by the Danish people today.

Denmark’s expertise on defence is much valued.

I am convinced that both Denmark and the EU will benefit from this decision.

Glad to see lots of support at the @EPP Congress for our 6th sanctions package against Russia.
