Ahead of tomorrow’s GAC Council, several meetings to discuss the next #EUBudget with 🇫🇷 Benjamin Haddad, 🇵🇱 Ignacy Niemczycki and 🇩🇰 Marie Bjerre @eu2025dk.bsky.social

Today, I met with UN High Commissioner Filippo Grandi. In our discussions, we reaffirmed our shared commitment to refugee protection. It is crucial to acknowledge the global responsibility to ensure asylum mechanisms are in place around the world for those in need of protection.

Great to meet you again, this time in Geneva @iomchief.iom.int ! We will continue to pursue a whole-of-route approach when it comes to migration management, and work closely with the IOM.

Always a pleasure to meet Fatih Birol, Executive Director of the @iea.org We had a great discussion on the state of climate action in the EU, the outcomes of COP30 and the future of the COP process, as well as cooperation with third countries.

Today, I am in Geneva to hold a speech at the Global refugee forum and meet key leaders based here. The European Union will remain a reliable and constructive partner to the UN. And we are stepping up our engagement, by enhancing our support to host countries and the UN system.

Thank you, President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu, for your strong message. Resilient despite challenges beyond their control, farmers deserve simpler rules, better market access and long-term support. Food security starts with them 🌱and with the resources they depend on – soil, water, land

Kick off of the EU Agri-Food Days!🌾 I’m opening this 3-day event with a simple conviction: Europe’s security starts with food security. This is a space for honest dialogue w/ farmers, policymakers, civil society & researchers Join the conversation LIVE 👉 link.europa.eu/YtY47Y

An ultra wave threatens the European Union 🇪🇺, that paradise of peace and rights that has been protecting us for a century. 🌹 In front of it, the socialists carry Europe in our DNA, like the group @psoedsalamanca.bsky.social. Thank you for letting me share this evening of European socialism ❤️

Congratulations Kyriakos Pierrakakis on your election as #Eurogroup President! You take office at a pivotal moment for the euro area and the 🇪🇺 EU. I look forward to working closely with you to advance our work on key economic and financial priorities, strengthening Europe’s competitiveness.

Migration is key to Europe’s competitiveness. Today I hosted an Implementation Dialogue on Talent Attraction and Retention, focusing on challenges, best practices, and simpler processes to bring in and keep third-country talent that EU companies urgently need.

⚠️ The training cannot depend on money or free time: it must be a right. In the context of a technological and green transition, Europe will only be competitive if it bets on talent and a Union of Capacities that leaves no one behind.

Today, we are presenting another significant #simplification proposal. ✅ The Environmental Omnibus shows we can achieve our environmental goals in a smarter, simpler way while cutting annual administrative burdens by €1 billion. My remarks ▶️ link.europa.eu/KhDwVm

We have a final deal on our 2040 climate target ✅ We now have a legally binding 90% GHG reduction target: 85% domestic cuts + up to 5% international credits. This is an ambitious and pragmatic agreement that brings predictability and flexibility for everyone.
