Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen@respublicae.eu

Good to meet with NATO SG @jensstoltenberg to prepare next week’s summit in Madrid.

EU-NATO cooperation is crucial to continue to strengthen Europe’s defence, from increased interoperability to military mobility.

We stand united in our support to the Ukraine.

Last week, I went to the Middle East to strengthen cooperation with the region.

We will work together to:

• Increase security of energy supplies and accelerate the clean energy transition

• Protect the world from a major food crisis

I was very moved by President @ZelenskyyUa's kind words over the phone today, following our recommendation to grant Ukraine the candidate status.

The Ukrainians can count on the @EU_Commission's constant support as they move along the path to the European Union.

We adopted a 🇪🇺🇺🇸 declaration on the global reduction of methane emissions.

It will be crucial to reaching our goal: sticking to a 1.5°C warming increase.

The EU has proposed new rules to decarbonise the energy sector.

I invite all major economies to join us on this pathway.

Thank you @POTUS and @ClimateEnvoy for your leadership on climate action.

Russia’s aggression has strengthened Europe’s resolve to speed up the transition to clean energy.

The EU supports all climate and food security initiatives put forward by our US friends. ↓

Українці готові гинути за європейську перспективу.

Ми хочемо, щоб вони жили європейською мрією.

Our opinions on the membership applications of 🇺🇦🇲🇩🇬🇪 were carefully assessed based on their merits, as we have always done in the past.

This is a solid basis to move forward together.

Building on this evidence is the historic and political momentum.

Ukrainians are ready to die for the European perspective.

We want them to live with us the European dream.

Georgia must now come together politically to design a clear path towards structural reform and the EU.
 
So we recommend 🇬🇪 to grant the European perspective, but to come back and assess how it meets a number of conditions before granting it candidate status.

We also recommend to grant Moldova the candidate status, on the understanding that the country will carry out reforms.

🇲🇩 is on a real pro-reform, anti-corruption and European path.

It still has a long way to go. But we believe it has the potential to live up to the criteria.

Ukraine has already implemented roughly 70 % of 🇪🇺 rules, norms and standards.
 
Yet important work remains to be done, on the rule of law, oligarchs, anti-corruption and fundamental rights.
 
The process is merits-based. So progress depends entirely on Ukraine.

We recommend to give Ukraine the candidate status, on the understanding that the country will carry out a number of important reforms.
 
Ukraine has clearly shown commitment to live up to European values and standards.
 
And embarked, before the war, on its way towards the EU.

Today, the @EU_Commission has adopted its Opinions on the membership applications of Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia, after assessing them against our rigorous standards ↓

In full agreement with @MichealMartinTD: we will never accept unilateral action violating an international agreement.
 
The @EU_Commission has put workable solutions on the table regarding the Protocol on IE/NI.
 
Joint agreement is possible with political will.

🇸🇮 Happy to congratulate Robert Golob on his election as PM of Slovenia.

We share a passion: Europe.

And we both want to make it more sustainable and more prosperous.

So our first discussion focused on two flagship EU initiatives:

#NextGenerationEU and #REPowerEU

🇸🇰 Very happy to talk to Slovak PM @eduardheger.

Slovakia’s solidarity with Ukraine is remarkable.

We both look forward to next week’s #EUCO discussion, in particular on continued support to Ukraine and on strengthening the EU’s resilience.

🇯🇴 Such a pleasure to meet @KingAbdullahII in Amman today.

Jordan is an essential partner for the EU.

You have a crucial role to play in the stability and prosperity of the region.

Our partnership is growing and the EU is supporting significant investments in your country.

We are also partnering with Egypt to improve our security of energy supply and advance towards our global climate goals.

As chair of COP27, Egypt will play an important role to keep the global community on track.

You can count on my support for a successful COP27 in November.

Let’s work together to improve local food production capacity.

Reduce dependencies.

Adapt to climate change.

And ensure stable supplies of quality, affordable food for all.

Egypt will be at the heart of this major shift.
