Das ist ermutigend:

Wir sehen stark ansteigende Investitionszahlen und eine deutlich steigende Auftragslage in vielen Unternehmen.

Den Weg der Reformen für Investitionen und Arbeitsplätze in Deutschland setzen wir deshalb fort. Es ist der richtige.

Ein sehr gutes Signal: Die Verhandlungen für ein Freihandelsabkommen der EU mit Indien sind abgeschlossen. Das stärkt unsere Wirtschaft. Jetzt brauchen wir eine schnelle Umsetzung für Wachstum, Wohlstand und ein starkes Europa.

Unsere historische Verantwortung bleibt: Antisemitismus hat keinen Platz in Deutschland. Wir erinnern an die systematische Ermordung von Jüdinnen und Juden – am heutigen Holocaust-Gedenktag wie an jedem anderen Tag. Nie wieder darf so etwas geschehen. #WeRemember

The EU-Mercosur agreement is a milestone in European trade policy and a strong signal of our strategic sovereignty and ability to act. This is good for Germany and for Europe.

But 25 years of negotiations were far too long — we need to move faster.

2026 will be a defining year for ESA. From @Soph_astro’s εpsilon mission and the first Ariane 64 and next Galileo launches, to powering humanity’s return to the Moon, BepiColombo entering orbit around Mercury, major data releases from Gaia and Euclid, ESA’s HERA arriving at Didymos, and new climate missions like FLEX, this will be one of the most mission-dense and strategically important years in @ESA’s history.

Together with our Member States and partners, we are strengthening Europe’s role in space for science, security, sustainability, and exploration. 🌍✨

France condemns the visa restriction measures taken by the United States against Thierry Breton and four other European figures.

These measures amount to intimidation and coercion aimed at undermining European digital sovereignty.

The European Union’s digital regulations were adopted following a democratic and sovereign process by the European Parliament and the Council.

They apply within Europe to ensure fair competition among platforms, without targeting any third country, and to ensure that what is illegal offline is also illegal online.

The rules governing the European Union’s digital space are not meant to be determined outside Europe.

Together with the European Commission and our European partners, we will continue to defend our digital sovereignty and our regulatory autonomy.

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

In Nuuk, I reaffirmed France’s unwavering support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Denmark and Greenland.

Greenland belongs to its people.
Denmark stands as its guarantor.

I join my voice to that of Europeans in expressing our full solidarity.

Joint statement from European leaders in Berlin this evening:
—
”The Leaders welcomed significant progress on President Trump’s efforts to secure a just and lasting peace in Ukraine. They also welcomed the close work between President Zelenskyy’s and President Trump’s teams as well as European teams over the recent days and weeks. They agreed to work together with President Trump and President Zelenskyy to get to a lasting peace which preserves Ukrainian sovereignty and European security. Leaders appreciated the strong convergence between the United States, Ukraine and Europe.

Leaders agreed that ensuring the security, sovereignty, and prosperity of Ukraine was integral for wider Euro-Atlantic security. They were clear that Ukraine and its people deserved a prosperous, independent, and sovereign future, free from fear of future Russian aggression. 

Both the US and European leaders committed to work together to provide robust security guarantees and economic recovery support measures for Ukraine in the context of an agreement on ending the war. This would include commitments to: 

- Provide sustained and significant support to Ukraine to build its armed forces, which should remain at a peacetime level of 800,000 to be able to deter conflict and defend Ukraine’s territory. 

- A European-led ‘multinational force Ukraine’ made up from contributions from willing nations within the framework of the Coalition of the Willing and supported by the US. It will assist in the regeneration of Ukraine’s forces, in securing Ukraine’s skies, and in supporting safer seas, including through operating inside Ukraine. 

- A US led ceasefire monitoring and verification mechanism with international participation to provide early warning of any future attack and attribute and respond to any breaches along with a deconfliction mechanism to work on mutual deescalatory actions that can be taken to benefit all parties.

- A legally binding commitment, subject to national procedures, to take measures to restore peace and security in the case of a future armed attack. These measures may include armed force, intelligence and logistical assistance, economic and diplomatic actions. 

- Invest in the future prosperity of Ukraine, including making major resources available for recovery and reconstruction, mutually beneficial trade agreements, and taking into account the need for Russia to compensate Ukraine for the damage caused. In this vein, Russian sovereign assets in the European Union have been immobilised.

- Strongly support Ukraine’s accession to the European Union. 

The leaders expressed their support for President Zelenskyy and agreed to support whatever decisions he ultimately makes on specific Ukrainian issues. They reaffirmed that international borders must not be changed by force. Decisions on territory are for the people of Ukraine, once robust security guarantees are effectively in place. They agreed that some issues would need to be resolved in the final stages of negotiations. They underlined that they would support President Zelenskyy to consult his people if needed.

They were clear that as in any deal, nothing is agreed until everything is agreed and that all parties must work intensively towards a solution that could assure a lasting end to the fighting. 

They were also clear that any deal should protect the long-term security and unity of the Euro-Atlantic and the role of NATO in providing robust deterrence. They stated that any elements affecting the EU and NATO will be discussed among EU and NATO members respectively.

It is now incumbent upon Russia to show willingness to work towards a lasting peace by agreeing to President Trump’s peace plan and to demonstrate their commitment to end the fighting by agreeing to a ceasefire. Leaders agreed to continue to increase pressure on Russia to bring Moscow to negotiate in earnest.

Now is the time for peace.
