They also request Parliament participation as observer to the DMA High-Level Expert Group meetings.
President von der Leyen has issued her statement on the Commission’s Competitiveness Compass that will chart the way to a stronger, more innovative and cohesive Europe. Competition policy will be a driving force behind this ambition 👇

Reminder of EP’s position ↘️ https://t.co/tTiGhCSoR2
Trilogues have started today on Green Claims Directive w/ @sandrogozi from @EP_SingleMarket and Delara Burkhardt from @EP_Environment in charge of defending the Parliament's position.
“Our role as policy makers is to shape and strengthen the single market[…]. Many barriers are erected by member states implementing EU legislation differently, when what we need is fast and full transposition and smart implementation.” Read the full statement ⬆️
Today, EMPL Committee adopted a resolution titled Children first, which I negotiated on behalf of @EPPGroup.
The resolution makes a strong call to ensure that children in need have access to essential services, quality housing and at least one free warm meal at school per day.
The vote buying scandal threatens the foundations of Maltese democracy. So I will continue insisting on the Commission to act, employing all the tools at its disposal.
The Maltese must not continue to bear the brunt of the brazen corruption of the untouchable few.
Proud to announce that @RobertaMetsola has been included in this year’s @TIME NEXT 100.
Hailed as one of the world’s next top leaders, this is a recognition of her work leading the @Europarl_EN and the reforms she enacted as @EP_President#TIME100NEXT

It may be a ‘quiet war’ 🤐, but the Belarussian people’s voices have yelled out loud and clear 📢 “Belarus belongs with the EU” 🇪🇺 @Tsihanouskaya#FreeBelarus
Important emphasis from @vonderleyen on the #STEP plan. European industry must be at the forefront of development, innovation and progress. It is imperative that we secure adequate funding for technologies in the Union's strategic sectors. #SOTEU.
@EP_Budgets@psdparleuropeu
Happy to hear @vonderleyen agrees that we need to work together with our social partners to address skills shortages and that a new Social Partner Summit will take place in Val Duchesse next year. Let's use our collective expertise and make sure to leave no one behind. #SOTEU
Our thoughts are with the people in #Morocco who have been hit by a terrible earthquake. We wish the families of the victims strength in this very difficult moment. Full support for the emergency services. The EU must mobilise all the support it can to help our Moroccan friends.
The concerted criminal enterprise that defrauded the government to buy votes is despicable. As MEP it was my duty to present the case in the EU.
Vote-buying on this scale undermines democracy, and should be treated with the seriousness it deserves.

Good news from @EPCulture as it adopts a strong position on the Media Freedom Act. A decisive step forward in guaranteeing editorial independence, especially from governmental interference. More transparency on financing will improve the market & bolster our democracies.
The @EPP Congress, ahead of the 2024 EU elections, will take place in Bucharest, Romania. This underlines #EPP's strong support and solidarity with our Central and Eastern European Member States in light of their significant efforts and support for #Ukraine.
