@ec.europa.eu"We want to bring the relationship with Canada to the highest level possible.
Dear Mark J. Carney, I would like to work with you on opening the door for Canada to be the first associate member of the EU."

@saskiabricmont.bsky.socialDiscours sur l’état de l’Union #SOTEU: comme je l’explique dans Le Vif, Ursula von der Leyen n'annonce aucun changement de cap
Alors que l’Europe brûle, la Commission poursuit son agenda de dérégulation, au détriment de l’environnement et des droits sociaux ⬇️

@2eubrussels.bsky.socialVon der Leyen puts the EU’s goods trade deficit with China at roughly €1bn a day and says the relationship has reached a tipping point. Her message to Beijing: the “second China shock” is not looming — Europe is already experiencing it. #SOTEU #EUChina

@savechildrende.bsky.socialSoziale Ungleichheit, Kriege, Konflikte, der Klimawandel und dessen Folgen gefährden die Zukunft von Kindern in Europa und weltweit. Anlässlich der Rede von EU-Kommissionspräsidentin Ursula von der Leyen zur Lage der Union fordert Save the Children, Kinderrechte konsequent zu berücksichtigen. #SOTEU
@jameskanter.bsky.socialWondering if extremist MEP Sarah Knafo bypassed rules against advertising by waving a copy of her new book on the podium during a session of the European Parliament. Maybe it's OK. But never seen anyone else do it. @europarl.europa.eu #soteu

@jwgoudriaan.bsky.socialThe #SOTEU has just been delivered
Fights over EU budget start in earnest now
Already we see attacks on the European civil service with governments wanting to slice salaries and staffing
This is driven by ill-advised neo-liberalism
Understaffing will hurt creating more...

@2eubrussels.bsky.socialThe EU wants electricity to rise from around 23% to 46% of final energy consumption by 2040. Von der Leyen says reaching that goal could cut Europe’s fossil-fuel import bill by up to €260bn a year. #SOTEU #Energy

@claesdevreese.bsky.socialIt has become a crowded space to say that an age-defined social media ban is not at a full solution to the problems at hand. But it really isn’t!
More and other instruments are needed. A ban is not the panacea.
@fabianebd.bsky.social10/11 Auch Demokratie und Rechtsstaatlichkeit waren Teil von #SOTEU: Grundrechte sollen bei EU-Mitteln eine Rolle spielen, Frauenrechte und Demokratie geschützt werden. Für uns wichtig: mehr Pluralismus, mehr Beteiligung gesellschaftlicher Kräfte #RuleOfLaw #Democracy
@fabianebd.bsky.social1/11 Mein Gedanken zu #SOTEU: viel europäische Ambition – und eine klare Klammer. Ob Sicherheit, Binnenmarkt, KI, Ukraine oder Demokratie: Am Ende geht es immer wieder um dieselbe Frage: Kann Europa selbst entscheiden und handeln? #EBDpolitik. #EU
@vanelsuwege.bsky.socialVdLeyen's #SOTEU proposes a European Security Council -
I feel for the poor students struggling already with the difference between the European Council, the Council of the EU and the Council of Europe 😉

@corporateeurope.orgIn her #SOTEU speech von der Leyen did not once mention the unprecedented chemical pollution crisis from pesticides and harmful chemicals such as PFAS (forever chemicals), which are impacting people's health and the environment on a daily basis.
