Rudi KENNES (Belgium)
@rudikennesEarlier this week I attended a briefing from the Chinese mission to the EU about their new five‑year plan and the future of relations between the EU and China. What I especially appreciated was the fact that China has the courage to look forward and make strategic choices.

@andriuskubilius.ec.europa.euEurope can learn much from Ukraine. Why not build a Ukrainian TAIEX-style service to support 🇪🇺 & candidate countries? A European Defence Union with Ukraine could follow. Enlargement is in the interest of the EU - helps build a Europe that is free, whole, and at peace.
Wopke Hoekstra
@wopkehoekstra.ec.europa.euVery good to meet with Dr Deborah Barasa, 🇰🇪 Minister for Climate Change. We discussed COP31, but also COP32 which will take place in Africa. We agreed to collaborate further on international climate diplomacy and carbon pricing.

@marketkagEarth Day in Czech style: in the morning, nice words about the planet; in the morning, subsidies were again opened for the largest agrochemical holding. It somewhat reminds of International Women’s Day: one day a year, a symbolic carnation – and from tomorrow again the old routine.

@wopkehoekstra.ec.europa.euImportant discussion with 🇩🇪 Minister Carsten Schneider and 🇨🇾 Minister Maria Panayiotou on COP31 strategy.

@MarionMarechalWe learn with sadness of the death of Chief Corporal Anicet Girardin, following the injuries sustained during the attack that also claimed the life of Sergeant Chief Montorio. All the French have an emotional thought for his relatives and his brothers‑in‑arms from the 132nd Cynotechnic Infantry Regiment of Suippes. We must finally learn from these tragedies: yes, France has a role to play in achieving peace in Lebanon. It will necessarily involve the liberation of the Lebanese from Iranian tutelage and the grip of the Islamic party Hezbollah. We are already contributing to this and must intensify this commitment with determination. Share on X!

@wopkehoekstra.ec.europa.euGreat exchange with 🇦🇺 @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social alongside EU ministers — even from afar. Despite the energy crisis, we had a constructive discussion on EU priorities for COP31 and the need to have the world going from declarations to implementation.
Teresa Ribera
@teresaribera.ec.europa.euToday we adopted #AccelerateEU to speed up our energy resilience. It sets out the framework to ensure a fair transition towards a clean, homegrown and efficient energy system. We want to protect those who need it most and ensure lasting prosperity, the foundation of our freedoms and our democracy

@marketkagI support the employees of ČT and ČRo. When unions today announce a strike readiness, they are not only defending their working conditions. They also defend the principle that public service media should not go to politicians for a budget, about whom they report. Public service media are not state media.

@GeraldHauserThe ORF sinks into its own scandal, the government pushes millions onto the Küniglberg, and at the same time the state broadcaster is supposedly being abused as a campaign instrument against the opposition!‼ This is a moral picture, as one only sees in authoritarian systems. The abolition of the ORF compulsory fee is therefore absolutely necessary.☝ No Austrian understands that he should also pay for this scandalous ORF!➡ Follow Gerald Hauser on Telegram: https://t.me/GeraldHauser 🎥 Also follow Gerald Hauser on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GeraldHauser_fpoe

@magnusbrunnerGlad to be back in the EP today to prepare the Europol reform. Thank you to Renew, S&D and EPP for inviting me to join them in discussing the future of Europol today.
Marion MARÉCHAL (France)
@MarionMarechalFrench and European taxpayers risk paying more than 300 million euros to a Chinese company operating in Senegal. While one in ten Europeans lives below the poverty line, we should have other priorities than financing 380 natural‑gas buses for the city of Dakar. Yet it is the modest sum of 320 million euros that was promised to finance this market by a consortium composed of the EIB, the Commission, and the French Development Agency. But this scandal does not end there. It is the Chinese state‑owned company China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation, largely backed by Beijing, that would be taking the market, as Euractiv reveals. A farce, especially since this project comes from the Global Gateway program intended to allow the EU to weigh in on the international stage and compete… with Chinese influence. Europeans cannot let this happen. At the next plenary session of the European Parliament, I will ask that projects financed in third countries with European money include a European preference clause to favor our companies. __📲 Share on X!

@wopkehoekstra.ec.europa.euGreat to catch up with 🇨🇦 Environment, Climate Change and Nature Minister @juliedabrusin.bsky.social Canada and EU climate collaboration is second to none. We had a productive exchange on strengthening our partnership, with a focus on carbon pricing and on international climate diplomacy.
Gerald HAUSER (Austria)
@GeraldHauserThe pandemic is still not dealt with, so Italy is already preparing the next restriction of freedom: this time not because of a killer virus, but because of the self‑made energy crisis. Politically responsible people create a shortage instead of ensuring supply security – and then declare a state of emergency.

@magnusbrunnerEven as we prepare Europol’s new mandate, we bid farewell to Catherine De Bolle today as she concludes eight years of heading the agency. It was a privilege to hear your reflections on leading Europol through a complex political landscape and evolving threats.
