Thank you @EmmanuelMacron for convening this conference on Gaza.
The EU is the largest donor to the Palestinian people.
We are committed to the humanitarian needs of the civilians in Gaza ↓
"Israelis and Palestinians need a political perspective to break the current spiral of violence and reestablish hope.
And this perspective is the two-state solution."
— President @vonderleyen at the International Humanitarian Conference for Gaza’s civilian population in Paris
"No, means no.
I would like that we cast into law this basic principle on combating violence against women.
There can be no true equality without freedom from violence."
— President @vonderleyen#SOTEU 2023
"When Europe is bold, it gets things done.
And our work is far from over – so let’s stand together.
Let’s deliver today and prepare for tomorrow."

Some highlights from the past months ↓
Integrating digital and real worlds is no longer science fiction.
Early this year, 140 European citizens put forward 23 recommendations to guide the development of human-centric, secure and trusted virtual worlds.

There is no time to waste.
Today, we made a proposal to tackle food waste with important benefits for consumers, businesses and the environment.

#FoodWasteEU
Nearly 59 million tonnes of food are wasted in the EU each year.
Today, we are proposing that Member States reduce food waste by 2030 (vs 2020) by:
1⃣0⃣% in processing & manufacturing
3⃣0⃣% (jointly) in retail, restaurant, food services and households.

Today, we are proposing a new way forward on:
🌱new genomic techniques to develop resilient plants & further reduce chemical pesticides dependency
🌳plant & forest seeds to boost sustainable practices
🍏measures to prevent & reduce food waste
#EUGreenDeal#EUFarm2Fork
58.5 million tonnes of food are wasted each year in the EU.
Our proposal aims to tackle food waste to save food, money for consumers and businesses and lower the environmental impact of food production ↓

Soils are the foundation of our food security, yet less than 40% of EU soils are healthy.
We have proposed a new Soil Monitoring Law to help increase our resilience against climate change and ensure that all soils are healthy by 2050.

One year after the Conference on the Future of Europe: where do we stand with the citizens' proposals?
The Conference submitted 49 proposals and the EU listened.
To date, we drew up the first line of action on those proposals One year after the Conference on the Future of Europe: where do we stand with the citizens' proposals?

We have no time to waste.
Our Early Warning Report shows that a majority of EU countries risk missing some key 2025 waste targets, namely:
- 55% preparing for re-use and recycling of municipal waste
- 65% recycling of all packaging waste
Here are our findings ↓
#EUGreenDeal
The good news is that most EU countries are making progress in implementing waste reforms to increase recycling rates.
These ambitious rules will ensure that Europe fully reaps the environmental and economic benefits of the circular economy and help reach climate neutrality. ↓
We look forward to driving further action and boosting food waste reduction.
Early this year, we gathered a panel of randomly selected EU citizens. From packaging to consumer behaviour, their recommendations will speed up our efforts to reduce waste.

Glad to meet @OpenAI CEO @sama
AI can fuel huge progress and improve our lives.
But we must mitigate risks and build trust.
To match the speed of tech development, AI firms need to play their part.
EU will work with global partners and stakeholders towards trustworthy AI.

"World peace cannot be safeguarded without the making of creative efforts proportionate to the dangers which threaten it."
These were the words of Robert Schuman on 9 May 1950. His declaration is widely regarded as the first step in European integration.
