United in diversity. Emboldened in democracy. 🇪🇺

Each year, the President of the Commission delivers her vision for our Union and debates it before the Parliament.

The State of the Union is our chance to:

  • Take stock of what we achieved
  • Look ahead to priorities and actions for the following year
  • Engage with the members of the Parliament

It is a chance to see in action. And YOU are the centre of it.

⚡ We are shifting to zero-emission mobility.
📱 What if we could also shift to digital ?

The digital driving licence we proposed in March will make driving in the simpler and safer.

It will be:
🏍 Valid across country borders
🚗 Accessible from your phone and other digital devices
🚙 Easier to replace, renew, or exchange online

Our proposal will also include new measures to boost road safety, including a zero-tolerance rule on drink driving.

Together, we are saving lives.

So far, 2,400 Ukrainian patients have been transferred to receive specialised care in hospitals across via the EU Civil Protection Mechanism.

Russia's targeting of Ukrainian hospitals and 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 's healthcare system.

@EU_Commission, wasn’t Web 3.0 supposed to be that blockchain-based atrocity, which never really took off?

I appreciate that the is looking forward, but am concerned about the need to wrap everything up in a tech-bro hype and industry appeal in order to seem modern and cool.

An actually avant-garde approach would be to take a look at the implications of technology and what kind of society citizens want to live in (GDPR was a good example here).

It is worth saying that, despite being a small book, a lot happens! Several scenes and several adventures and all equally important. Stackpole has always known how to balance and tell the narrative in an agile way. I’m already getting ready to reread the sequel, Dark Tide II: Ruin.

Europe's culinary heritage is truly unique.

We need to safeguard it.

The labels ‘Protected Designation of Origin’ and ‘Protected Geographical Indication’ help people identify products whose quality and reputation relate to their origin.

More than that, they ensure the brand and know-how are protected from imitation.
