In SE Asia or in Europe, farmers put food on our table. They deserve a fair income.

This is why @Europarl_EN approved new EU rules to strengthen farmers' contractual position and help stabilise their incomes.

The EU will not be intimidated by Russia.

Russia is trying to destabilise the EU, using drones, violating airspace and spreading disinformation.

@Europarl_EN says: the EU stands in solidarity with countries which have been targeted and will defend its security.

The accession process to the EU entails adapting the legal framework, especially on democracy and the rule of law.

Human rights are universal: each human being wherever he/she lives has a right to be respected and treated with dignity.

AI innovation or protecting people? The EU chooses....both.

Recent updates make EU's AI rules more workable, helping EU companies compete.

The EU also doesn’t allow AI to be used in ways that could harm safety and rights or sexually objectify people.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Today’s #EUCO is about seizing Europe’s momentum.

On enlargement: Europe must show it is ready to reform. It is a win-win, but legitimate concerns must be addressed.

On competitiveness: Europe must unlock the full potential of its market, talent and capital by removing barriers.

On the EU budget: we must ensure we do not postpone the burden of today’s debt onto future generations.

[European Parliament in ASEAN @EPinASEAN]

EU-US trade: @Europarl_EN approved stronger safeguards for EU industry and farmers.

By strengthening the initial proposals, @Europarl_EN aims to balance trade facilitation with protecting the EU's economic interests, strategic industries and agriculture.

World War I ended after 1,568 days.

Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine has now lasted longer.

The line was crossed.

The war continues.

The time for a just and lasting peace is now.

🇪🇺 The European Union has never been as attractive: in a time of geopolitical volatility and uncertainty, it is a pole of stability, openness & trustworthiness.

Proud to open formal accession negotiations tomorrow with Ukraine 🇺🇦 and 🇲🇩.

@Europarl_EN brings a strong support.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

A larger Europe is a stronger and safer Europe.

As @Europarl_EN has long called for, Member States have given the green light to start EU accession negotiations with Ukraine and Moldova.

The opening of the first chapters on democracy, justice and the rule of law underlines both countries' reform efforts and their commitment to European values. All while pushing back against Russia's aggression, threats and intimidation.

Enlargement is our strongest geopolitical tool, and Ukraine and Moldova belong in Europe 🇪🇺🇺🇦🇲🇩
