Thank you for a successful meeting @Stéphane Séjourné !
Yes, #Standards are pivotal for EU competitiveness and the #SingleMarket , but the standardisation system needs to become faster and more flexible. And Europe needs to enhance its influence on international standardisation.
To have a single market, we need common standards across European countries - eg. on products safety or quality 🛟
We must fast-track the work on getting these standards out and running, esp. for startups & SMEs.
Good talk @EU_Growth High Level Forum for standardization
Path to the F-16s.
Since the first day of the full-scale Russian invasion, Ukraine has been asking its partners to close the skies or provide aircraft.
We knew it was achievable, that the world has the power to make it happen. We combined political, diplomatic, and military efforts for this purpose. Gradually, step by step, we managed to achieve the result.
F-16s are already in Ukrainian skies, and there will be more.
We were just denied entry to @Eurovision with the EU 🇪🇺 flag. We were told by security it’s “political” and “not allowed”. How could the @EBU_HQ ban the EU flag at Europe’s biggest event? #Eurovision
