🇪🇺 40 years ago today, the EU’s 12-star flag was raised for the first time outside the Berlaymont building in Brussels.

Today, it stands as powerful symbol of unity, identity, and cultural heritage.

We welcome the continued US efforts to bring peace to Ukraine. 

The initial draft of the 28-point plan includes important elements that will be essential for a just and lasting peace.

We believe therefore that the draft is a basis which will require additional work.

We are ready to engage in order to ensure that a future peace is sustainable. We are clear on the principle that borders must not be changed by force.

We are also concerned by the proposed limitations on Ukraine’s armed forces, which would leave Ukraine vulnerable to future attack. 

We reiterate that the implementation of elements relating to the European Union and relating to NATO would need the consent of EU and NATO members respectively. 

We take this opportunity to underline the strength of our continued support to Ukraine. We will continue to coordinate closely with Ukraine and the US over the coming days.

Europe is in a fight.

A fight for our liberty and our ability to determine our destiny for ourselves.

This must be Europe’s Independence Moment.

A moment we can seize if we're united ↓ https://t.co/EcrY5Mi7kU

The EU remains steadfastly committed to the reunification of Cyprus, fully in line with UN Security Council resolutions and principles, values and legislation of the EU.

We strongly support the efforts of the UN Secretary-General and his Personal Envoy to resume negotiations.

EU has an important role to play.

We stand ready to actively contribute and step up its efforts to support the UN led process, including through the active engagement of its Special Envoy, Johannes Hahn.

🇪🇺 On 29 June 1985, European leaders chose a symbol that would stand the test of time.

Twelve golden stars in a circle.

A powerful symbol of who we are and what we stand for: unity and peace, democracy and solidarity.

Today, we celebrate 40 years of our common flag.

🇪🇺🇨🇦 A new chapter in EU-Canada cooperation starts today.

So it matters that trust in the EU among EU citizens has grown for 4 consecutive years.

Now reaching its highest level in 18 years, according to an EU-wide survey.

This progress reflects the collective efforts of all EU institutions.

We take this as a motivation to keep delivering.

Honoured to celebrate Europe Day in the very house where Robert Schuman grew up.

He was a visionary.

He understood that only together could Europeans remain the masters of their own destinies.

75 years on, this is more true than ever ↓ https://t.co/kOWNsxiFHR
