Official account of the Permanent Representation of the Slovak Republic to the European Union 🇸🇰🇪🇺
@slovakiaineu.bsky.socialBefore the upcoming #EUCO the Visegrád group #V4 🇨🇿🇭🇺🇵🇱🇸🇰 calls for the EU action to curb high energy prices. We advocate for:
- concrete measures from the @ec.europa.eu
- further postponement of the #ETS2
- use of the #ETS market stability reserve
@slovakiaineu.bsky.social🩺 Preventing #cancer and #cardiovascular diseases is an investment in Europe’s future.
At a workshop hosted by @slovakiaineu.bsky.social in Brussels, stakeholders & experts explored effective prevention and how cooperation can help protect young people and tackle #health risks.
@slovakiaineu.bsky.social2/2
Free allocation should serve its primary purpose - prevent carbon leakage. Extending conditionality in this regard would increase admin burdens, legal uncertainty & financial risks.
#ETS2 should be further postponed due to high fuel prices & impact to households & industry.

@slovakiaineu.bsky.socialAs part of Slovakia’s 🇸🇰 #V4 Presidency, Amb. Juraj Nociar hosted Pedro Lourtie, Head of Cabinet of @eucopresident.consilium.europa.eu António Costa 🇪🇺, together w/ his 🇨🇿🇭🇺🇵🇱 Coreper II colleagues.

@slovakiaineu.bsky.social🤝 Today PR Amb. Juraj Nociar had a pleasure to meet with Ambassador Yaprak Balkan 🇹🇷 #Türkiye’s Permanent Delegate to the EU.

@slovakiaineu.bsky.social2/2 Judicial independence is essential element of democracy. Informing on court proceedings should remain neutral & objective. Media & social media have an important role in this regard. Mutual respect & responsibility between all the stakeholders are key.

🇸🇰StateSec Milan Hodás:
We support modernisation of @eurojust.bsky.social
Our priorities:
- effective governance model w/ strategic leadership
- transparency & clear accountability
- stronger operational capacities
- modern technologies & info exchange w/ @europol.europa.eu & #EPPO
@slovakiaineu.bsky.social4/4 We see drug-related intimidation as part of the security challenge linked to the illicit drug market & organised crime. Coordination is key. We support best-practice sharing, cooperation with digital providers, youth digital literacy & early detection of risky recruitment.
@slovakiaineu.bsky.social3/4 Systematic monitoring of migration flows is essential. 🇪🇺 agencies w/ strong analytic capacities should play more important role, also in the social media monitoring. We need a clear mechanism to ensure info reaches political level in time, allowing for prompt action.
@slovakiaineu.bsky.social2/4 Efficiency of the Pact on migration & asylum depends on the functioning of returns & readmissions. We should strenghten cooperation w/ third countries. Slovakia supports regular discussions on a limited number of third countries selected based on data & reflecting needs of MS

🇸🇰StateSec Lucia Kurilovská
Number of internal border controls is one of the key indicators of how Schengen functions.
We regret that the situation is not improving - the controls should be lifted.
We call for better use & interoperability of existing information systems
@slovakiaineu.bsky.social4/4 Fertiliser action plan should strengthen our domestic production, esp. of nitrogen fertilisers We must avoid dependence on third countries & ensure fair conditions for our producers, because they face high natural gas & electricity prices, which affects their competitiveness

🇸🇰 Minister Richard Takáč:
In new #CAP we advocate for:
- strong budget
- voluntary degressivity & capping
- realistic definition of farmer and active farmer
- transition period to enable a smooth transition to the new legislation
@slovakiaineu.bsky.social2/4
The drought comes at a time when our farmers already face high production costs, pressure on incomes & growing market uncertainty.
#Slovakia calls for a substantial increase in the agricultural reserve & mobilization of 🇪🇺 crisis instruments to support affected farmers.
@slovakiaineu.bsky.social#AGRIFISH 1/4
🇸🇰Slovakia is facing one of the worst periods of drought in decades, affecting up to 90% of territory. Harvests have declined & losses are impacting livestock production.
⚠️Crisis exceed the capacity of national budgets.
Slovakia calls for an adequate 🇪🇺 response.
