On 13 September, President von der Leyen will lay out her vision for our common future in the State of the Union address.
From moving towards a clean, modern economy to helping countries worldwide fight climate change and our unflinching support to Ukraine – this is the moment to take stock and plan for the challenges ahead of us.
Tune in to listen to the #SOTEU speech and share your ideas for the future.
May the world reflect on these thoughts, this ode, this homage to freedom and humanity from one of the world's great 20th Century minds, Thomas Mann. (1929 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate)
Today we commemorate the 60th anniversary of the passing of #EU pioneer Robert Schuman.
Schuman was a member of the French resistance in World War II. After the war, he drew up the famous ‘Schuman Declaration’ to unite #Europe and prevent further wars.
Today we pay tribute to his legacy that continues to transcend generations.
Join us for the upcoming #SOTEU address on 13 September to witness our commitment to protecting his legacy.
@EU_Commission yes, thank you so much for always quickly addressing error reportings!
I also appreciate the specific link in English even if my native language is actually Italian, but you couldn't know that. Great work as always, I'll stay tuned for the SOTEU!

I use #Linux as the main OS on my computers, but also use Windows 10 on one.
For the sole reason to download the #ebooks I buy.
I play the occasional Windows-only game as well, but those I can do without.
I can't do without ebooks.
I really, really wish there was an open standard for getting any ebook, with or without #drm, onto any device without having to rely on a single piece of software from one company. #EU, do something! #DailyRant#PetPeeve#ADE#AdobeDigitalEditions

Yeah, The Book Depository was a real loss in that regard. I haven't checked out these alternatives but they might be useful to someone.
@EU_Commission Great, lets hope it replaces the pointless form that UK people had to fill in at a post office where we had to glue a photo of ourselves to a piece of paper that says stuff in several languages, which then gets stamped by some random post office employee for some countries, except for spain, which needs a separate but very similar form.... oh wait, the UK isn't in the EU any more :( bah
@EU_Commission what about the other side of the stick of electromobility - charging stations? As there are two options to choose from for driving license, maybe regulate also charging? Requiring alternative payment options so we could pay in the same way as on gas stations - card or cash without all those gimmicks as „create account to use charging service” (multiplied by amount of charging providers).
@EU_Commission - A brilliant campaign! I became inspired and tried to contact the #Europe Direct centre in @amsterdam, The Netherlands. Too bad that their website did not work:
📅 SOTEU is coming soon.
In one month, President Ursula von der Leyen will hold her 2023 SOTEU address before the European Parliament.
During this landmark annual event, she will address the major challenges of our time and set out her vision for the #EU for the months ahead and beyond.

@EU_Commission as these floods and fires are related to climate change, could you please kick the butt of - for example - the Germann government and in particular the gas and petrol lovers there? Thanks.
So far, 2,400 Ukrainian patients have been transferred to receive specialised care in hospitals across #Europe via the EU Civil Protection Mechanism.
Russia's targeting of Ukrainian hospitals and #healthcare facilities has deprived chronically ill or injured patients of critical treatments.
Since the early days of this brutal war of aggression, we have organised medical evacuations of patients to relieve the immense pressure on #Ukraine's healthcare system.
@EU_Commission and not a single one to #Bulgaria? This helps justify my decision to decide to spend my productive years in Germany, but makes me really, really sad about my country, and its level of solidarity.
