Vanochtend ben ik voorgedragen als kandidaat-lijsttrekker voor de Europese verkiezingen.

Het is een grote eer én een grote verantwoordelijkheid. We leven namelijk in een onzekere wereld, waarin er veel op ons af komt. We staan er niet alleen voor, Nederland staat sterk in Europa. Samen kunnen we veel aan. Daar wil ik me voor blijven inzetten!

Ik wil alle regiovoorzitters en het hoofdbestuur van de VVD ontzettend bedanken voor het vertrouwen. 🧡💙

Goed nieuws! 🎉 Er is een deal over Europa’s nieuwe cybersecurity wetgeving.

Met deze wetgeving krijgen onder meer ziekenhuizen, energiebedrijven en banken grip op hun cybersecurity. En moeten overheden pro-actief helpen om cyberaanvallen te voorkomen.

This is why I got into politics, this is why I am in Brussels and Strasbourg, improving the safety, security and prosperity for our citizens 👇

De huidige gasprijs zorgt voor flinke problemen, het is goed dat er maatregelen worden genomen om de prijzen voor nu betaalbaar te houden.

Op lange termijn moeten we naar een betaalbare en duurzame energiemix. Dit kan niet zonder kernenergie, vindt Europarlementariër @jhuitema

Third, with the EU perspective, @MrFermont writes that the new creation of a High-Level Dialogue on Trade is an opportunity to "achieve greater coordination and inject political guidance into an at times fraught economic relationship" https://t.co/rgAKMgpiq5

.@MrFermont: “Strong cooperation in telecomm[s], [AI], and common standards that abide by the principles of democratic societies would be highly beneficial for the EU and India as well as check actors who seek to undermine these principles." https://t.co/tbQ67bSltF

Why does the WTO exist and why should it be reformed? I wrote a short article on this topic for Friends of Europe's upcoming discussion paper on global governance reform.

I hope you'll enjoy the read and would be delighted to hear what you think.

@BusinessEurope panel on services trade and manufacturing has kicked off at the WTO Public Forum! #WTOPublicForum #Services

[Maurice Fermont @MrFermont]

@Fox_Claire @BrexitMeps @EUparliament No Claire, this has to do with the protection of the EU’s external border, to avoid trafficking, etc. The same happens at all EU external borders. Stop blaming the EU and take some responsibility for your own decisions. I pity those in the U.K. who didn’t vote for this.
