Good call on competitiveness with leaders ahead of the upcoming EUCO.

The work starts at home.

By lowering energy costs.
And making life easier for businesses across Europe.

But it does not end there.

Imbalances and overcapacities in global trade pose challenges.

We will address them directly at EUCO.

We prioritise partnership, remain open to dialogue and defend our interests

[European Commission @EU_Commission]

We stand firmly and unequivocally with Ukraine and its people.

We have made a new disbursement under the Ukraine Facility, our key instrument to support Ukraine's recovery, reform agenda and progress towards EU membership.

🇪🇺 On 7–10 June 1979, nine nations voted together for Europe — for the first time in history.

180 million eligible voters. One shared ballot.

That vote started a project about what European democracy should look like.

47 years on, it's still going strong.

Let's protect it. #ProtectWhatMatters

[European Commission @EU_Commission]

Equal work deserves equal pay.

Three years ago, the EU adopted the Pay Transparency Directive.

Now, EU countries are bringing these new rules into national law:
✔️ Pay transparency for jobseekers
✔️ Right to information for employees
✔️ Gender pay gap reporting
✔️ Joint pay assessments

Because equal pay starts with pay transparency.

A Union that’s more secure, resilient and complete.

Change is accelerating: solar and wind infrastructure is expanding, cities are being redesigned around nature.

This World Environment Day, the debate isn't if climate change is real, but how fast we can act.

[European Commission @EU_Commission]

The planet doesn’t negotiate. It sends signals: rising seas, wildfires, heatwaves.

The EU responds with commitments like:

🔸Water Resilience Strategy
🔹Chemical Regulation
🔸EU Climate Law
🔹Restoring nature and repairing damaged ecosystems

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

I spoke with @NikolPashinyan about Russia’s recent restrictions targeting Armenia.

This is nothing short of economic coercion, and it is unacceptable.

Europe stands firmly with Armenia. We are preparing a support package.
