Au Parlement européen, Ursula von der Leyen propose que le Canada devienne le premier membre associé de l'union européenne. #SOTEU

Von der Leyen invites Canada to become "the first associate member of the European Union." #soteu #canada #eucanada

Was zum fick soll das überhaupt heißen, dass Kanada ein „associated member“ der EU werden soll #soteu

GROOT NIEUWS! Von der Leyen stelt voor dat #Canada de eerste Associate Member van de Europese Unie wordt.

Standing ovatie, eerst vanuit de liberalen, socialisten en groenen, daarna kwamen de christen-democraten er ook gezellig bij.

#SOTEU

Nu annoncerer von der Leyen et nyt partnerskab med Canada og pladsen som "first associate member of EU". Hun kalder det Alliance for the Future. Fremhæver Arktis som et af samarbejdsområder. "Det er ikke et partnerskab mod nogen, men for vores fælles styrke." Vildt bifald i salen #soteu

VDL announces #Canada could become the first #AssociateMember of the #EU :O

Applause.

It'd coin it @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu's Ferran Torres moment:

Key #SOTEU narrative:

In truth, we're not that bad

There will be a "Quality Jobs Act" before the end of the year and "European Care Deal" something about everyone has the "right to stay". This really does seem to be more of the "Affordable Housing Act", stuff where the EU really can't do much and it seems like a bit of a distraction. #SOTEU

Over buitenlandbeleid: Veel nadruk op de rules-based order, en een lofsang voor samenwerking met Canada. Prime Minister Mark Carney in da room!

#SOTEU

🇪🇺 The #SOTEU address began at 0800 BST. To catch up from the beginning, just swipe left to rewind.

Kein Wort zu Artensterben + Umweltverschmutzung.
Wasserkrise soll mit Reparatur von Rohren behoben werden.
Klimaschutz im Nebensatz, Anpassung als Geschäftsmodell.

Für @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu sind "Vereinfachung" + "Wettbewerbsfähigkeit" wichtiger als Überlebensgrundlagen.

Sehr schwache #soteu

Staying in your region is not a privilege.
Housing is not a privilege.
Care is not a privilege.

They are rights.

We will launch a European Care Deal. We will address the challenges of our demographic changes.

#SOTEU

that wasn't the intension of the first #SOTEU in 2010... 2026's commission president has to act as a leader of a minority government #SOTEU26

#EBDanalyse

On AI, "we need to stay in the race" - "in a clean and efficient way". On AI for heatlh, she talks about use of AI in diagnostics. "AI needs to empower our doctors, not to replace them" - did anyone suggest AI diagnostics would? #SOTEU

Von der Leyen presents the EU's AI Act as "crucial piece to putting guardrails in place" with "likeminded partners like Canada" so why has she watered down important aspects of the same AI Act at the behest of the US and tech oligarchs? MEPs need to get her to square that circle. #soteu #ai #safety

VdL says "many of the risks of AI spill over into our Social Market Economy."

Highlights the "barriers young people face just to get on the employment ladder". Announces a "Quality Jobs act". (no details).

Nog steeds over AI:

"Our approach is clear: We want AI. We want AI to create more value more responsibly. And at a lower cost and with less energy consumption. But above all, we want AI with human agency."

No robot doctors voor Ursula.

#SOTEU

European Commission president sets out her vision for a more secure and independent Europe. #SOTEU
