👉simplification ✂️
👉digital Euro 💶
👉support for 🇪🇺 + 🇺🇦 defence capability

Today, the world mourns the passing of Pope Francis.

He inspired millions, far beyond the Catholic Church, with his humility and love so pure for the less fortunate.

My thoughts are with all who feel this profound loss.

May they find solace in the idea that Pope Francis’ legacy will continue to guide us all toward a more just, peaceful and compassionate world.

Glad to attend #EPSCO to present findings of #EuropeanSemester. It features an improved analysis of labour market, skills & social challenges.

Revised 🇪🇺 fiscal rules encourage social reforms and investments that are shown to promote growth and sustainable public finances.

On 1 May 2004, the citizens of 🇨🇾 🇨🇿 🇪🇪 🇭🇺 🇱🇻 🇱🇹 🇲🇹 🇵🇱 🇸🇰 🇸🇮 became citizens of the EU.

20 years since we contribute to the EU decision making processes, also as Members of the College at @EU_Commission

I welcome this positive @Europarl_EN vote on revised EU economic governance.

It paves way for new #fiscal rules to enter into force in next weeks. We now look forward to receiving Member States’ fiscal-structural plans by September 20.

[Valdis Dombrovskis @VDombrovskis]

Relieved that financing bill has finally passed: US Congress vote will provide more support for #Ukraine when it needs it most.

And glad that we can rely on 🇺🇸 to defend democracies & territorial integrity of independent states. A powerful signal of unity against the aggressor.

The Recovery and Resilience Facility #NextGenerationEU is delivering!

Check out the interactive map 🗺️ that now features over 1000 RRF-supported projects in over 2000 locations 👉 https://t.co/XuKrBBVGK7

[Valdis Dombrovskis @VDombrovskis]

Ukraine faces a looming crisis.

Not only on the battleground, but also with paying immediate bills & closing massive financing gap.

We need action from all donors to maintain support.

This is no time to hesitate.

#Ukraine needs our support NOW. #WES2024 @semafor

[Valdis Dombrovskis @VDombrovskis]

#LaHulpe declaration is an important contribution to the EU’s strategic agenda. 

We will keep on implementing the European Pillar of Social Rights. 

Well-designed employment and social policies are key for a strong and resilient Europe, more competitive and fairer.

[Valdis Dombrovskis @VDombrovskis]

#NextGenerationEU is a real first. It’s steered the 🇪🇺 through several crises, from the pandemic to high energy prices.

The reforms & investments under the #RRF are leading to positive change on the ground.

We now need to press ahead with implementation by end-2026. 1/2

🧵 In my last address to  @Europarl_EN as 🇪🇺 Trade Commissioner, some reflections on this mandate:

The tectonic plates have shifted dramatically over the past years. The way we see the global economy, strategic dependencies & partnerships is fundamentally different. 1/7

[Valdis Dombrovskis @VDombrovskis]

Traineeships help young people into jobs and companies to find new talent and skills.

We propose that traineeships offer a good learning experience, fair pay, social protection.

This will also help companies address labour & skills shortages.

[Valdis Dombrovskis @VDombrovskis]

Good to return to tripartite social summit to discuss issues related to 🇪🇺competitiveness, economic strength and well-being of workers:

➡️an industrial strategy and quality jobs
➡️a stronger single market for businesses and workers
➡️tackling labour and skills shortages

#TSS

[Valdis Dombrovskis @VDombrovskis]

Today’s plan to tackle #skills & labour shortages will boost fairness and competitiveness in the EU.

It will:

📌support people to enter the labour market

📌help them to learn new skills

📌improve their working conditions

[Valdis Dombrovskis @VDombrovskis]

Speaking at @Europarl_EN about #EuropeanSemester.

This year’s cycle will focus on:

[Valdis Dombrovskis @VDombrovskis]

Interesting panel discussion on the economics of ageing - @mirzhadma suggests the next @EU_Commission mandate will consider older workers' participation. @ILCUK @ILC_Europe
