Video games providers must treat consumers fairly. Under EU consumer law consumers must be informed about the duration and conditions of a video game’s lifespan. If the supply is stopped earlier than the contract states, players should be reimbursed.

When someone talks about “freedom to generate,” too often they mean the freedom to harm without consequences. AI deepfakes and stripping apps in the hands of entire toxic male groups destroy lives mainly for women and children. I am proud that I could contribute to putting a clear boundary on this in Europe.

A pleasure to see Keir Starmer in the margins of Évian. We discussed the latest developments in the Middle East. And our need to sustain our support to Ukraine, its armed forces, and its preparedness ahead of the winter.

In a session on the Middle East with regional partners. First, we need to ensure the full restoration of freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, without restrictions. Second, the events in the Strait have highlighted vulnerabilities that we need to adress.

I welcome today’s positive vote in the European Parliament on our EU-US trade agreement. A deal is a deal - and the EU is delivering its part. With this milestone, we are days away from fulfilling our commitment to remove tariffs on imports of US industrial goods.

Putin hates historical facts: Orthodoxy started in Kyiv and only later spread to Moscow. Civilised people cherish their roots. Putin destroys them. The attack on Kyiv Pechersk Lavra is uncivilised and brutal but not surprising. Respect for history is alien to the Putin regime.

Egypt is a central and stable partner for Europe in a region in turmoil. We are swiftly delivering on our 2024 partnership. With €1.5 billion to be issued this month to further support Egypt’s reform agenda. And some 8 billion in investments already mobilised.

Czechia issued more than 100 licenses for surveillance technologies even to countries such as Iraq, Pakistan or Somalia. The rules I worked on are meant to prevent their misuse against journalists or the opposition. The public has a right to know what risks the Ministry of Interior assessed. The response from the Ministry of Interior did not convince me – I will ask the minister directly.

The tide is turning for Ukraine. The situation in 2026 is very different from 2025. Ukraine is bravely holding the frontline. Russia’s fatigue is openly showing.

Putting children in prison is not security policy! The European group of the National Coalition Party (Kokoomus) EPP is bringing an ICE-style immigration control into the EU by the power of the far right. Demand MPs to vote against this xenophobic and racist regulation: share.greens-efa.eu/toolkit/24ce...

In Évian, I congratulated President Trump on his agreement with Iran. We both agree that it should mean a definitive end to Iran's nuclear programme. The Strait will reopen. Oil prices are falling. And that's how diplomacy delivers.

See you this Saturday in the capital for the Madrid en Europa days! Debate, dialogue and reflection to continue building Europe from the local level. 🇪🇺🌹

The fossil industry has been braking climate actions for decades, lobbying behind the scenes, protecting its profits at the expense of people and our planet. This has come to an end. So I signed the FossilFreeMEP commitment. @fossilfreeeu.bsky.social @corporateeurope.org @foeeurope.bsky.social

Debate on digital autonomy in the European Parliament. The right wing of the European Parliament wants a semi‑independent Europe where AI is produced at the expense of privacy, copyright, climate and environment. Not the future I am looking forward to.
