President of @Europarl_EN 🇪🇺.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Congratulations to the European Network of Ombudsmen on your 30th anniversary.

From cross-border healthcare and voting rights to social housing support and the recognition of international qualifications, thank you for the work you do to protect people’s rights and make a difference in their lives.

Here’s to another 30 years of working together.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Felicitări și mult succes lui @LucaNiculescu pentru alegerea sa în funcția de prim-ministru al României.

Într-un moment în care securitatea și nevoia unei Europe mai puternice și mai unite sunt mai importante ca oricând, România are un rol important în conturarea viitorului european 🇪🇺🇷🇴

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Great to welcome the Speaker of the Parliament of Singapore Seah Kian Peng to @Europarl_EN in Strasbourg as he begins his European tour.

We had a good discussion on strengthening our friendly relations, deepening parliamentary dialogue and expanding cooperation, particularly in trade.

As we mark 50 years of the EU-ASEAN partnership next year, there is plenty to build on 🇪🇺🇸🇬

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Good news for Europe’s farmers and consumers.

@Europarl_EN and @EUCouncil have just agreed on new rules for organic production, labelling, certification and trade.

Clearer rules mean fairer competition for organic producers, less red tape for small operators, and improved consumer confidence in organic food.

Thank you @EP_Agriculture Chair @vrecionova, Rapporteur @CamillaLaureti and all the team for this deal with @Ireland2026eu.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Europe’s greatest strength has always been its people.

Enjoyed sitting down with @AdamsonPaul to discuss what makes Europe competitive and how to stay ahead, the work MEPs do to improve people’s lives, the future of EU-UK relations & much more.

Here’s part of our conversation.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Together for greater security and stability.

Strengthening our partnership to address shared challenges.

Bringing our peoples closer through parliamentary diplomacy.

🇪🇺🇦🇪🇧🇭🇸🇦🇴🇲🇶🇦🇰🇼

معا من اجل امن واستقرار مستدام

تعزيز شراكتنا لمواجهة التحديات المشتركة .

تقريب شعوبنا عبر الدبلوماسية البرلمانية

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Europe and the Gulf States have much to gain from closer ties.

Delighted to welcome Speakers and representatives of the @GCCSG to @Europarl_EN today.

An opportunity to strengthen cooperation and explore new ways to work together for the benefit of both regions.

🇪🇺🇦🇪🇧🇭🇸🇦🇴🇲🇶🇦🇰🇼

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

An important #EUCO ahead of us today.

On behalf of @Europarl_EN, our message is clear: Europe must step up on three fronts.

Security. Competitiveness. Investment in people’s priorities.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Europe needs an ambitious budget that invests in people and in our continent’s future without burdening the next generation with today’s debt.

That is how Europe can stay competitive, strengthen our security, reinforce our ability to act and respond to people’s concerns.

Good discussions with @eucopresident António Costa and @Europarl_EN group leaders and negotiating team ahead of tomorrow’s #EUCO.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Enlargement is moving forward. The momentum is building.

Today, Ukraine and Moldova take another step forward, opening two more negotiation clusters. Montenegro has closed three additional chapters, while Albania has closed another.

Different countries, all making progress towards a stronger, safer, more united Europe.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Европа изразява пълната си солидарност с България 🇪🇺🇧🇬

Атаките с дронове срещу търговски кораби край българските брегове създават допълнителна заплаха за сигурността и стабилността в Черно море - район с ключово значение за цяла Европа.

Това е тревожна тенденция на нападения срещу гражданското корабоплаване.

Тези атаки трябва да спрат.

Моите мисли и съчувствия са с изчезналите моряци, техните семейства и всички засегнати.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

The strength of Europe’s regions, cities, towns and islands is at @Europarl_EN today as #EURegionsWeek kicks off.

Great to welcome so many local representatives to exchange experiences, share ideas and build partnerships.

This is how we bring Europe closer to home.

Together, we will keep working for 'Strong Regions, Strong Europe'.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

A moving moment at @Europarl_EN tonight as we remember the victims of the 7 October terrorist attack in Israel. We were joined by Omri Miran, who was taken from his loved ones and kept hostage by Hamas terrorists for 738 days.

His story is not one of tears, but of resilience. Of the triumph of hope in the bleakest of circumstances. Of the power of family and love to overcome. Of light in the darkness.

We remember. 🕯

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

The work of the European Court of Auditors is essential to ensure that EU funds are well managed and delivering for Europeans.

President @tonymurphyeca, thank you for the excellent cooperation between @Europarl_EN and @EUauditors.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Very good meeting with the United Kingdom Minister for European Relations @HFalconerMP at @Europarl_EN today.

We are looking at how to build on our progress and bring the EU and UK closer together as like-minded partners and friends.

Stronger cooperation makes sense, and it delivers for both sides: our people, our economies, and our shared security 🇪🇺🇬🇧

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Esprimo il mio profondo cordoglio per la scomparsa di Barbara Spinelli, ex deputata al Parlamento europeo e collega nella commissione per le Libertà civili, la giustizia e gli affari interni.

Sulle orme del padre Altiero Spinelli, ha dedicato il suo percorso alla riflessione sul futuro del progetto europeo.

Le mie più sentite condoglianze alla sua famiglia e a tutti coloro che ne hanno conosciuto e apprezzato il lavoro e l’impegno.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

20 years since Anna Politkovskaya was murdered.

A fearless journalist who refused to look away, even when facing threats and attempts on her life.

She refused to be silenced, continuing to speak out against corruption and abuse.

This week, we were honoured to welcome her granddaughter Anna Victoria to @Europarl_EN to remember Anna’s courage, her work and the terrible price she paid for it.

Her legacy lives on among us too, with our Brussels press room carrying her name.

We remember Anna. And we will never forget what she stood for.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Today the world marks three years since that black October 7th 2023.

Since that fateful morning when Hamas terrorists massacred 1195 people in Israel. Since 251 people, including young children and the elderly, were dragged from their homes and taken hostage.

Some days stay with you. The scars are still raw for so many.

The @Europarl_EN remembers the victims of that day of horror as we recommit to ending terrorism, finding a path to peace and redoubling our efforts to stamp out the ancient evil of antisemitism.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Excellent to welcome @Apple’s Tim Cook to @Europarl_EN this afternoon, following our talks in San Francisco earlier this year.

Good to discuss how we can keep children safe online while giving Artificial Intelligence and innovation the space to grow and create opportunities for people across Europe.
