Born in Naples, Londoner by adoption, living in Brussels. Proud European & anti-fascists. Interested in Energy, Transport & Just Transition. Views are my own.
Questa mattina sono stato eletto per acclamazione presidente della commissione @EP_Environment Parlamento Europeo.
Un impegno enorme e una sfida avvincente.

🚢 Deal!
🚩We raise our flag for 2 deals at the same time! @EUCouncil & @Europarl_EN agree provisionally on amending the directives on flag state requirements & port state control.
Both agreements will substantially contribute to safer & cleaner maritime transport in the EU 🇪🇺.
🚨🛳️Deal on more robust maritime accident investigation. New rules will cover also fishing vessels and set deadlines for investigation.

@C_Nagtegaal
🌊One more step towards cleaner seas & oceans!
@EUCouncil & @europarl reach a provisional agreement on the revision of the directive on ship-source pollution.
🛢️ It aims to ensure that ships guilty of illegally discharging polluting substances are subject to adequate penalties.
🛳️ Deal!
@EUCouncil & @europarl conclude a provisional agreement to revise the 2009 directive on the investigation of accidents in the #maritime transport sector.
⚓ This update aims to simplify the existing procedure, so to make maritime journeys in the 🇪🇺 EU safer. Ship ahoy!
Klimaatcrisis, wooncrisis, ongelijkheid: de uitdagingen waar NL voor staat zijn groot. Maar we kunnen het aan, mits we ons zelfvertrouwen, het vertrouwen in elkaar en het vertrouwen in de overheid herontdekken en invullen. Het moet en het kan.
Samen doen, dan komt het goed. 1/2
A seguire Weber sul rigetto della #NatureRestorationLaw ci sono meloniani, sovranisti, e si scovano anche i terzopolisti: la maggior parte dei liberali Ue vota per il #clima, ma gli italiani del terzo polo votano con le destre estreme.
...Rinascimento sovranista? #Renzi#Calenda
Se avete la sensazione di trovarvi in un mondo distopico ascoltando in tv solo lodi sperticate di #Berlusconi, bè non è un mondo distopico, è una rappresentazione organica di quanto la libertà dei #media sia compromessa in #Italia.
@ConnorAllenEU We are talking about 7/8% maximum of the electorate. Majority of these voters swing anyway and anytime there is a powerful leadership. Last European election was Salvini, next year Meloni.
Not only was #Berlusconi a political, social and cultural disaster for #Italy, but he also paved the way for #Meloni's far right governing our country. The measure of a man is the legacy he leaves.
@Vera_Tax We want to see a holistic approach, where we recognise #ports as strategic key infrastructure, drivers of economic growth and added value, their connectivity to the hinterland and relationship to their surrounding cities and societal role. #ESPOconf2023
Vietato criticare il governo #Meloni insomma, o si avranno ripercussioni: questo è il messaggio che si vuole dare non solo allo scienziato #Rovelli ma a chiunque abbia un ruolo pubblico e osi esprimere le sue idee. Scandaloso.
Good morning Europe! 🇪🇺
It's Europe Day: an opportunity to celebrate shared values such as democracy, freedom and human rights.
What does Europe mean to you?
Today is a good day for climate: EU climate laws now match our ambition.
This final adoption puts the EU on the right path to implement our 2030 target.
The ETS will be strengthened and Member States will have more revenues to reinvest and redistribute for a fair transition ⬇️
