4 years ago, the UK government left the #EU. 4 years later on 31.01. 2024 after almost 31 years, I am retiring @EU_Commission . My sadness is the opportunity I had is no longer available to #Scots or to other #UK citizens. To work together as an EU team to strive for a better EU.

[European External Action Service - EEAS 🇪🇺 @eu_eeas]

Today, we sanctioned extremist settlers in the West Bank for their violations of human rights. They undermine the two-state solution, a prospect that is increasingly under threat.

We defend international law.
We act for peace.
We support the two-state solution.

@TomK_Brit1993 @JohnKer80478006 Yes, undoubtedly. We are European. Our peace and security are reliant on being part of the European community of nations - particularly now the US cannot be relied on as a NATO partner. Economically, rejoining makes perfect sense, since Brexit, GDP has been reduced by 4% etc 👇👇

What have renewables ever done for us?

Well, EU electricity prices are 24% lower than they would be had we not embarked on the clean energy transition. 24% savings on top of co-benefits for the planet, for our health and for nature. Win-win-win-win.

Hospitals, ambulances, patients, and healthcare staff are never targets.

Fantastic news: Erasmus will bring young people from the UK and EU together again 🇪🇺🇬🇧I studied in Edinburgh – and it changed everything ❤️💙 Why? Several years ago, I wrote it down. ⬇️

Amid continued vandalism, thefts and arson, Israeli settlers demolished an EU-funded school in the West Bank.

Over 40 children lost their right to education. Their community was forced to flee, fearing for their lives.

The EU demands accountability and respect for IHL.
