Today, the Council of the EU turned into a vibrant showcase of Europe for #EuropeDay 🇪🇺

From Dutch cheese and wooden shoes to innovation, openness and equality, the Netherlands was proud to welcome visitors and celebrate what brings Europeans together!

[Generaal Onno Eichelsheim @CDS_Defensie]

Nederlandse militairen hebben in #Afghanistan onder gevaarlijke omstandigheden gediend, uit solidariteit met bondgenoten. Ze hebben daar gevochten voor veiligheid en offers gebracht die zij en hun families voor altijd meedragen.

Hun inzet verdient erkenning, geen ontkenning.

[Carola van Rijnsoever @CvanRijnsoever]

Great to be back in Brussels as Deputy Permanent Representative at @NLatEU.

Plenty more on the agenda. Please do say hello when you are in Brussels. Always happy to catch up!

Congratulations to Stef Blok on his reappointment to the @EUauditors for a second term.

"Europe is important for our prosperity. But the discussion shouldn’t always be about how the EU can spend more. It should be about how money can be spent better."

“It shows that Russia still intends to intensify this war. It also shows we must all stand by Ukraine. Such an attack shows that we must maintain, even increase, pressure on Russia.”
