We bid farewell with gratitude and thanks to outgoing Commissioner @SKyriakidesEU who has steered us through five challenging years, tirelessly serving Europe and its citizens and achieving groundbreaking initiatives, not least the creation of our #HealthUnion & #EUCancerPlan.
Plastics are choking our oceans, polluting the environment and harming people's health and livelihoods.
We remain committed to conclude negotiations by the end of the year to tackle plastic pollution at global level.
Thank you for the privilege of these five incredible years, dear @SKyriakidesEU.
For entrusting me to lead the stellar TeamStella.
For your dedication, your vision, your humanity.

The floods in Spain are not only a national tragedy.
It’s also a European one.
As such, it will get a European response.

Addressing childhood cancer is an #EUCancerPlan priority.
In 🇪🇺 more than 2000 children lose their lives each year.
This is the devastating reality we must change.
Our focus: tackling inequalities in access to care and more support for children and their families.
#EUHealth
#EPlenary today on prevention, preparedness and response to animal disease outbreaks.
We have a robust EU animal health system with dedicated tools to control diseases.
Our scientific approach works. Close cooperation with Member States and all stakeholders remains crucial.
Quality of life is a crucial part of #EUCancerPlan.
The daily life of people with a history of cancer is full of challenges, including when it comes to employment.
We must break the stigma and protect the right to remain in work, without discrimination!
