After years of dedication, Carla Valtorta @carlinav is turning the page to a well-deserved new chapter: retirement.
Thank you for your energy, your good humour, and the positivity you brought every day to the @EUCouncilPress office.
Grazie di cuore. Ci mancherai tantissimo.
Pleased to meet 🇦🇩 Cap de Govern @XavierEspot.
Our work towards a successful signature of the Association Agreement is underway. This will open a chapter of strengthened political and economic ties, which are mutually beneficial.
The #EEA Council 🇪🇺 🇮🇸 🇱🇮 🇳🇴
It's vital that we keep strengthening the internal market we share:
🔹via the timely incorporation of EU laws into the EEA Agreement; 🔹through our cooperation to enhance its resilience and global competitiveness.
An honour to appear before @Europarl_EN, opening these days of European democracy in action.
The hearings deepen the political link between our two institutions, and I believe it's also an invaluable way to help align us towards a shared objective.

A good, constructive meeting with Minister @EspenBarthEide. We held the 2nd 🇪🇺🇳🇴 High-Level Dialogue on Fisheries to advance our work towards balanced, mutually beneficial solutions.
More than ever, important to keep strengthening our partnerships in the spirit of collaboration.
A very good meeting with @EuropecheOrg representatives. It's important for the @EU_Commission to listen to our fishing industry to better understand its main challenges, incl. the need to safeguard a global level-playing field.
Thank you, @EU_Commission President @vonderleyen, for your continued trust. Truly honoured to be entrusted with trade and economic security as well as with interinstitutional relations and transparency. Crucial for the EU's standing both at home and internationally.
Signed and sealed 🤝 paving the way to €3.2 bn in funding via the EEA and Norwegian financial mechanisms up to 2028.
Another positive milestone, as we mark the 30th anniversary of the EEA Agreement this year.

Local leadership can shape our collective ambition.
@Paris has shown that it's possible to organise an event on the largest scale #Olympics with respect for our planet: making the most sustainable choices as renewables, zero-emission mobility, circular economy whenever possible.
Good to co-chair with @EspenBarthEide the EU-Norway High-Level Dialogue on Fisheries. Agreed to inject positive, constructive dynamics into our talks, with a view to boosting collaboration and reaching balanced, mutually beneficial solutions. The work continues. We stay in touch.
With 🇵🇹 Minister @mgracacarvalho: a good, useful exchange on a wide range of key elements of our green transition. Good to see Portugal leading by creating green champions, incl. in the area of #hydrogen, #batteries and critical #rawmaterials.
Pleased to meet again with @antoniocostapm, who will soon assume his new role as President of the European Council. Congratulations.
A valuable forward-looking discussion on issues of strategic importance.
We must remain a superpower when it comes to green and clean tech. And social justice must be a key part of the green transition - e.g. ensuring access to the skills needed for the jobs of the economy of tomorrow.

Cities play a key role in the green transition. We need frontrunners like Lisbon, taking inspiring action towards reaching climate neutrality by 2030: 👍 @Moedas.
The @EU_Commission supports @eumayors and their local innovative ideas, bringing citizens along with them.
#GAC: Focused on the Strategic Agenda, setting out the direction of travel until 2029, to be discussed and adopted by the upcoming #EUCO.
Important, given the current global context, marked by geopolitical hyper competition.
Congrats, @hadjalahbib, on the successful @EU2024BE.
.@EU_Council today gave its green light to the EEA and Norwegian Financial Mechanisms for 2021-2028.
The two mechanisms will provide a financial contribution of €3.268 bn to economic and social cohesion in the European Economic Area.

Hosting the 5th 🇪🇺🇨🇳 High-Level Dialogue on Environment and Climate.
Important to keep collaborating in these areas of shared interest, incl. emissions trading, adaptation, biodiversity.
We don't see eye to eye on everything but green should stay the colour of our cooperation.
#Competitiveness is our top priority. So making Europe's green transition work for the new global reality, while ensuring the conditions for our industry to prosper here and compete globally, needs our razor-sharp focus.
@Eurochambres play an important role. Let's keep engaging.
Acabo de mantener una reunión con el vicepresidente de la Comisión Europea @MarosSefcovic, con quien he conversado sobre el futuro de la Unión y el papel que la agenda verde, la justicia social y la prospectiva estratégica deben tener en él.
Trabajamos por una UE que mire adelante y convierta los desafíos en oportunidades.
