“We have to get rid of dependency on Russian fossil fuels.” — President von der Leyen at #SOTEU 2022.
In the first eight months of the war, we replaced over 70 billion cubic metres of Russian pipeline gas and in 2023, less than 10% of our total gas imports come from Russia.
We’re now working with reliable international partners like 🇳🇴 Norway and the 🇺🇸 United States.
Ahead of #SOTEU 2023, check out our #EUDataCrunch that reflects this considerable change. ↓
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.

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!
