Over de klimaatramp en wat we in Europa hebben meegemaakt afgelopen zomer: "Europe must stay the course on our climate targets".

#SOTEU

Is it curmudgeonly to dislike stock video with the speech. #SOTEU

#SOTEU so far: Europe is not that bad. With some luck, a bit of perserverance and courage, it might even be world class.

VdL highlights "iceeye", a project that "started between erasmus friends, and grew with horizon funding" and is now a massive space startup. And the founders are in the room today!

Nothing new on China in #SOTEU - VDL calls the trade deficit "unsustainable", says the EU-China dialogue must bring results. If it doesn't "we'll use all our tools to rebalance our relationship. Words are good, but deeds are better." Doesn't even mention the diversification tool

Von der Leyen spricht in Rede zur Union von "offen feindseliger Welt". #SOTEU

Ursula von der Leyen says EU trade deficit with China has "reached a tipping point" and become "unsustainable".

"This dialogue must now lead to results," she says. "Let me be clear: we will use all tools at our disposal to rebalance our relationship. Words are good. But deeds are better."

#SOTEU

She then moves on to banking, highlighting our companies need investment now, saying the banking system needs "a greater capacity and appetite for risk"

⬇️ #SOTEU

On the EU budget: "our budget is about our future, and the budget needs new own resources".

She thanks Parliament for their support on this.

Hasn't the EU already got a strategy on critical raw materials #SOTEU

Vdl highlights the excessive dependency on China, in particular when it comes to rare earth materials. Announces a "European Cooperation on critical raw materials" to "obtain and stockpile what we need".

"it isn't just our industry who depends on this, it's our independence"

How can I make the #SOTEU about @ftm.eu:

Von der Leyen spoke about simplification of red tape, claiming her efforts reduced the administrative burden of €17bn. But her promises to cut back red tape are nothing new.

Nun hält EU-Kommissionschefin Ursula von der Leyen ihre Rede zur Lage der Europäischen Union.

Welche Themen will die EU in der nächsten Zeit anpacken? Welchen Plan hat die deutsche Kommissionschefin?

Die Rede zur Lage der EU jetzt live. #SOTEU

I'll be on Morning Ireland shortly to discuss von der Leyen's #SOTEU announcement about protecting children online and AI.

VdL highlights that too much generation capacity is "waiting to be connected to the grid". Highlights the need for far more investments in grid and storage.

⬇️ #SOTEU

Von der Leyen talks about securing the "Homeland" in an echo of US language vogueish since 9/11. She's previously referred to the EU as a community of values etc. The language is "homelands" in the pre-release transcript. #soteu

Europe needs more than commitments and announcements.
It needs concrete policies backed by the necessary resources.

The time to act is now!
We act. For you. With you 🌹✊🇪🇺

🇪🇺President von der Leyen starts her #SOTEU state of the union speech to parliament saying the EU has defended Europeans - notably listing among the examples "we stood up for Greenland when it was threatened." (did the EU do that? 🤔)
