Facing a changing geopolitical and economic environment, we rose to the challenge of delivering a more resilient, competitive, and sustainable #economy.
In Versailles, two weeks after Russia's brutal aggression on Ukraine, #EU leaders vowed to take responsibility for our #security and strengthen sovereignty.
Since then, we have taken action to live up to the call. ↓

Mi tute subtenas la peton de la hispana registaro por oficialigi la katalunan lingvon en Eŭropa Unio. Mi ankaŭ konsideras, ke #esperanto povus esti utila ilo, lingvo kiu egalas kaj samniveligas ĉiujn, kaj tute funkcias kiel laborlingvo kaj pontlingvo inter homoj de malsamaj nacioj.
In #Brussels, history and innovation meet at the Bourse!
A symbol of the 19th century, the former stock exchange was carefully restored with €18 million of EU funding to become a lively public space.
The main hall is now an important link in the city centre.
It offers spaces for exhibitions and attractions such as Belgian Beer World and the Bruxella 1238 archaeological site.
As per our #EU sustainability targets, its restoration achieved a remarkable 30% cut in energy consumption.
Ready, set, GO!
The European Week Of #Sport is here now, and it’s time to #BeActive.

There might be an event close to you.

Widerstand gibt es auch in der Frage der Anerkennung als #Amtssprachen der #EU. Hier dürfte der Grund wohl vergleichsweise trivial sein: Allzuviele Dolmetscher von #Baskisch in #Lettisch dürften wohl nicht greifbar sein?
Our strength lies in our diversity.
We've been championing the inclusion of sign language through programs like Lifelong Learning and Erasmus+.
On this International Day of Sign Languages, our goal is to promote recognition by actively supporting its widespread use.
A big thank you to the European Union of the Deaf for their support in making this video! Happy #IDSL to all.

«En el proyecto original, un sistema de IA se consideraba de "alto riesgo" si iba a utilizarse para uno de los fines de alto riesgo enumerados en el anexo III. Pero han introducido una laguna que permitiría a los desarrolladores de estos sistemas decidir si consideran que el sistema es de "alto riesgo". Se otorga a la misma empresa que estaría sujeta a la ley la facultad de decidir si debe aplicársele o no.»

Not sure if I'm missing the point, but Germany's mobile phone infrastructure is way behind even Romania's, if I remember correctly, one of the poorest countries in the #EU. So, yes, "third-world country", Germany.
EU policies have a real impact.
Here are some examples we'd like to share with you:
➤ #EUChipsAct
The EU-funded Infineon chips fab in Germany will create over 1,000 new skilled #jobs.
➤ Green Deal Industrial Plan
France's newly opened, first gigafactory in Billy-Berclau received €1.3 bn in #EU funding.
➤ #REPowerEU
The EU’s biggest geothermal heating system in Szeged, Hungary, provides affordable #energy to over 28,000 households.

On #InternationalDogDay, let's take a moment to honour our furry companions!
These four-legged heroes work diligently to ensure our safety.
With their sharp senses and unwavering dedication, they not only intercept unlawful items at #EU borders but also provide aid during conflicts, natural disasters, and anti-terrorism efforts.
These dedicated heroes deserve our recognition every day.
#Poland to vote on #migration referendum in upcoming election
Poles will be asked their if they back selling off state firms, including to foreign entities; whether to raise the country's retirement age; and whether they want to maintain a border fence with Russia's close ally #Belarus.
Citizens will also be asked if they want to accept asylum-seekers and #migrants under an #EU deal.
The text of the PiS drafted referendum refers to migrants as "thousands of illegal immigrants" from Africa and the Middle East under the EU agreement, which the referendum denounces as having been "imposed by European bureaucracy."
The referendum comes at a time of border tensions with Belarus. The opposition says the ruling Law and Justice party is misusing public funds to demonize migrants.
