Building bridges through trade and dialogue.

Saúdo a decisão tomada hoje pelo Conselho de aprovar o acordo UE-Mercosul. Este acordo é bom para a Europa.

Today’s Council decision to support the EU-Mercosur deal is historic. Europe is sending a strong signal. We are serious about creating growth, jobs and securing the interests of Europeans consumers and businesses.

Sigo con preocupación la evolución en Venezuela. En cualquier circunstancia, en cualquier lugar del mundo, es imprescindible el respeto al derecho internacional y la carta de Naciones Unidas. Necesitamos un mundo con reglas.

🇪🇺 We are updating our ETS state aid guidelines. 💡In turbulent times, supporting industry’s decarbonisation efforts in a transparent and fair manner is key to prevent distortions and strengthen EU competitiveness. 1/5 ec.europa.eu/commission/p...

Europe pays tribute to Sofia Corradi, whose vision inspired the creation of the Erasmus programme. Sofia Corradi believed that learning across borders could build a stronger, united Europe. Her legacy lives on in millions of young Europeans who continue to learn, grow and connect through Erasmus.

🇪🇺 Last year the EU exported *€80 billion* clean tech products. The @bruegel.org European Clean Tech Tracker contains a dedicated trade section where you can break these flows down for yourself 👇 european-clean-tech-tracker.bruegel.org/overview/trade

Nobel Laureates on innovation being crucial for competitiveness. Dealing back on competition policies, it’s an important part of our work when updating our merger guidelines to better take into account innovation and the appearance of new innovative firms.

In turbulent times, we may see some trying to move from European ideals of values and a well performing social market based economy towards a race to the bottom short-term-profits-oriented model. It is important not to mistake. We have the strenghts and the passion to keep building a better Europe!🇪🇺

Very nice graph

1/ In Addis ahead of the #AfricaClimateSummit At a time of global turbulence, Africa and Europe must stand together, defending multilateralism, fairness and a just green transition.

Como portuguesa tenho recordações de infância no tão popular Elevador da Glória. Os meus pensamentos estão com as vítimas deste trágico acidente e seus familiares.

Horrified by yet another night of deadly Russian missile attacks on Ukraine. My thoughts are with the Ukrainian victims and also with the staff of the EU Delegation in Ukraine, whose building was damaged in this deliberate Russian strike.

El comunicado conjunto UE-China es una señal firme de respaldo al multilateralismo y al Acuerdo de París, nuestra mejor herramienta para luchar contra el cambio climático. ec.europa.eu/commission/p...

The EU-China cooperation on climate can set a global benchmark. So our joint press statement is an important step forward. We will work together to make COP30 a success. → europa.eu/!mXd6wG

Civilians cannot be targets. Never. The images from Gaza are unbearable. The EU reiterates its call for the free, safe and swift flow of humanitarian aid. And for the full respect of international and humanitarian law.

The killing of civilians seeking aid in Gaza is indefensible. I spoke again with Gideon Sa'ar to recall our understanding on aid flow and made clear that IDF must stop killing people at distribution points. All options remain on the table if Israel doesn’t deliver on its pledges.

The EU-Japan partnership is stronger than ever. 🇪🇺🇯🇵 Our 30th #EUJapan summit on 23 July will be an opportunity to deepen our cooperation even further. With a focus on: ▪️Security and defence ▪️ Trade and economic security ▪️ Support to multilateralism europa.eu/!GVX89P

Today, we welcome the Council's adoption of the 18th sanctions package against Russia for its continued illegal war in Ukraine. This package intensifies pressure on the banking, energy, and military-industrial sectors, while implementing a newly designed, dynamic oil price cap↓ europa.eu/!p8WJfQ

Participated in the 6th High-level Environment and Climate Dialogue between China and the EU. We held discussions on our bilateral cooperation, from carbon market to just transition. We also exchanged on the road to Belém and our respective NDCs.

🇪🇺🇨🇳Interesting meeting with the EU Member States Ambassadors in China We discussed the main challenges and opportunities of the relationship in such a strategic and sensitive international context

In Beijing, in the context of the High level dialogue of environment and climate together with my fellow commissioners @wopkehoekstra.ec.europa.eu @jessikaroswall.ec.europa.eu and Dan Jørgensen. Thanks to the EUDEL in Beijing for their great job 🇪🇺

Mayors play a key role in the fight against climate change. Citizens need to experience the benefits of the green agenda in their daily lives. 🌍 Inspiring and engaging exchange today with the Mayor of Beijing and Commissioner Dan Jørgensen🤝

The EC’s mission to China begins at a particularly delicate geopolitical moment in which multilateralism and developing confidence are more important than ever.

Cost to the 🇪🇺 economy of natural disasters by 2030? The ECB says it could shave off up to 5% of GDP Why we need to move now to act on #ClimateChange 👇 www.ecb.europa.eu/press/blog/d...

Today, the @europarl.europa.eu reminds us of the 30th anniversary of Srebrenica massacre 11th July 95. Today is a good day to remember once again the need to stop ongoing massacres against civilian population.

Today, as a heat dome hangs over Europe, the Commission has put forward a proposal to reduce emissions by 90% by 2040. We’re doing this for competitiveness, for independence, for decarbonisation. My remarks are here ➡️ europa.eu/!TMRvMK

2040 EU Climate Target

Adopted today: new EU State aid framework for Clean Industrial Deal! Europe’s industrial sovereignty moves forward. A fair deal means putting 🇪🇺’s standards and workers at the core of our policies. ✅ Faster approvals ✅ Technological neutrality ✅ Social conditionality ✅ Resilient labour markets
