Today's attack on a crude oil tanker in the Black Sea is yet another reason why Eastern border and Black Sea Member States must receive additional allocation. Thank you @RaffaeleFitto for the talks! The EPP Group is determined to secure NATO's Eastern flank. Defence is regional.

[Andrey Novakov @AndreyNovakov]

Eye-opening @EUauditors' reports on the next MFF. Thank you ECA Members @MaleticIvana & Alejandro Blanco Fernández for discussing w EPP REGI. Commission’s proposals need to be reworked. @EPPGroup will ensure regions, cities & rural areas hold the pen. Cohesion is EU’s superpower.

[Andrey Novakov @AndreyNovakov]

The @EUAuditors delivered their opinion on the NRPPs. Our position remains clear: Commissions come & go. Parliaments come & go. Presidents & governments come & go. But regional challenges persist — and so must a strong EU cohesion policy.

[Andrey Novakov @AndreyNovakov]

Eastern border regions = NATO's Eastern Flank. As of 2028, regional policy will have a security and defence layer. National and Regional Partnership Plans will be strategic - from Finland to Bulgaia and the Black Sea Region. This will be among my priorities.

[EPP Group @EPPGroup]

We have made it clear from the beginning that we will not back down on key passenger protections. Weakening the rules would be a step in the wrong direction. This is a testament to the @EPPGroup's effective leadership on consumer protection issues.

Remember their faces. Those are the @EPPGroup rapporteurs on the #MFF files in the Committee on Regional Development (REGI). We do not make policies in our Brussels offices. People live in rural areas, cities and regions. We meet them there and we talk human language.

[Andrey Novakov @AndreyNovakov]

It is time to co-write the rules with the regions, cities and rural areas on board. In a world of disorder, EU’s regional policy is a safe haven for communities, cities and rural areas because investment is appreciated when it is needed.

[Andrey Novakov @AndreyNovakov]

More money should be invested if fires and floods devastate our regions, if war is raging along NATO’s Eastern Flank and the Black Sea Region, if people need infrastructure and services. EU is cherished and remembered when it is there.

[Andrey Novakov @AndreyNovakov]

780 billion euro under the National and Regional Partnership Plans represent EU’s soft power. But the European Parliament needs to ensure that the plans are more regional than national, more cohesive than divisive, more flexible than restrictive.

[Andrey Novakov @AndreyNovakov]

Around the table. Where regional parliaments should be when we negotiate the next #MFF. @Calrenet, it was not just a keynote speech but a pleasure for me. Thank you, @ManfredWeber and @TobiasReissMdL!

We are committed to finding a fair balance between the interests of the aviation industry and passengers rights. However, we will not compromise on the current levels and fundamental principles of passenger protection.

It is time for regional policy to be defined for the regions, by the regions. They should have a 'veto' power on any detrimental reforms. @AndreyNovakov

[EPP Group @EPPGroup]

EPP is the Group of regions, cities and rural areas as those are the starting points for economic growth, social prosperity and resilience. #cohesionpolicy

[EPP Group @EPPGroup]

We will insist on keeping the 3-hour threshold, because we know that raising it would leave thousands of passengers without protection, says @AndreyNovakov MEP.

Battlefield technology changes every three weeks. In the EU, it would take three years for the procurement of drones. Thank you @ebsummiteurope for hosting me at #EDSS2025.

[European Business Summits @ebsummiteurope]

Joining the panel,  @AndreyNovakov, Member of @Europarl_EN, stressed the urgency of rapid adaptation in defence:

“Every three weeks the technology in the battlefield is changing - The union shall adapt very rapidly in this environment”

🛡️⚔️ Staying ahead in defence innovation demands agility, strategic investment, and swift decision-making to navigate emerging threats.

We cannot allow the Member States to undermine the hard-won rights of air passengers. @AndreyNovakov
