A core message from the ECR Group to Commission President @vonderleyen ahead of the final #SOTEU:

We must protect the fundamental values of the EU. And those values are the Treaty principles of conferral, proportionality and subsidiarity.
It is national democracies that form… https://t.co/ITiiLsAhdJ https://t.co/omhkDJYFtA

For the sake of citizens and industry, we need to invest much more in energy security.

Nuclear power must be part of the mix. #SOTEU @Europarl_EN https://t.co/1PqN9H4IBk

We should be helping our European industries, not piling burden after burden on them, weakening their ability to compete, reducing job prospects for millions of workers and undermining economic growth. #SOTEU @Europarl_EN https://t.co/79gS4yxeUQ

#StandWithUkraine: How have we supported 🇺🇦 Ukraine this past year?

Since the onset of Russia’s invasion, we have committed €733 million to humanitarian aid programmes.

Our #EUDataCrunch explains the breakdown of the humanitarian assistance provided to 7.9 million Ukrainians by the EU and our partners in 2023.

We will continue to stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes.

What’s next for our Union? To find out, watch President von der Leyen’s #SOTEU address on 13 September 09:00 CEST.

Looking ahead to #SOTEU, we see the need for the EU to further diversify its supply chains.

We need rapid conclusion and ratification of new trade and investment agreements with key strategic partners such as New Zealand, Australia, Mexico, Chile and India.

We also call on… https://t.co/eh5BvFfVLA https://t.co/GRefarXzKF

On the eve of #SOTEU, there is no doubt that the European Union must unwaveringly stand by Ukraine. 🇺🇦

Let's use the frozen funds of Russian oligarchs to provide material support to Ukraine and its economy. @Europarl_EN https://t.co/6sqMYwpzKP

One of our messages ahead of the final #SOTEU:

Through smart regulation, Europe must support the tech economy, but protect people's privacy.

AI can help businesses, but must not harm people. @Europarl_EN https://t.co/BytlVxF6eF

With skills come opportunities.

President Ursula von der Leyen announced the European Year of Skills during last State of the Union speech. Throughout 2023, we have been working hard to boost our targets: 60% of adults in training and 78% in employment by 2030!

How? 🤝
Through different #EU initiatives, like the Pact for Skills – 1,500+ members and 14 big partnerships in key sectors are pledging to upskill up to 6 million people.

#EuropeanYearOfSkills #SOTEU

One of the most important messages to the Commission President @vonderleyen ahead of the final #SOTEU of this parliamentary term:

❌Europe must stop muddling through with uncontrolled migration.

Too many people die in the desert or the sea. Instead, borders must be protected… https://t.co/GVU6ygpK1M https://t.co/HSAP6RM1Os
