It’s been an incredible ride, but my job with @eu2017ee is done. I’m off to Australia for some sun and sleep and no phone calls. Thank you for following and hope to see you next year when I return to the Commission.

I know that spokespeople shouldn’t have favourite files, but I’m so happy and proud that with this, the entire post-2020 climate policy framework is now in place. Hopefully member states agree! Big thanks to everyone who helped to pull this off, on all sides. https://t.co/EzBxJbqx85
