#GeorgesBerthoin (1925-2024), Head of Cabinet to Jean Monnet: “What we did, was not just a job, it was a mission. By building Europe, we fought for our generation”. Merci, Georges, car en construisant l’Europe tu t’es battu aussi pour ma génération, et pour celle de mes enfants.

Yesterday, Moldovans took a crucial step forward on our European path. But the fight for democracy in Moldova—and across our region—continues. To the people of Georgia: I admire your resilience and determination to build a free, European future. Stand strong—Moldova is with you.

Bulgaria and Romania belong fully to the Schengen area.  Removing internal controls at land borders is the last hurdle.    I welcome the positive outcome of informal discussions in Budapest today.   EU Council formal decision is next.   Let 2025 see Schengen become stronger.

President Ursula von der Leyen reminded the world of Timișoara’s courage in the fight for freedom. This spirit of Timișoara 1989 is essential as 🇷🇴 faces a critical choice: to remain a 🇪🇺democracy or to veer toward isolation and authoritarianism.

35 years ago, Romanians stood up for the right to choose their own destiny. Many gave their lives so that their children could be free and live in democracy. Today, Romania and Europe remember their sacrifice.

The EU is an Ocean union, and today we are proving it. The #EUOceanPact sets the EU long-term vision for ocean policies, sustaining the ocean that sustains us. One Ocean, one strategy to the benefit of the people, the economy, & the planet. ➡️ europa.eu/!WkyxGR

We must sustain the ocean that sustains us. Climate change, pollution, overexploitation, and geopolitical tensions continue to pose a threat to our ocean, and we need to step up efforts to protect it. A unified approach is essential for success. 🧵1/3

The #EUOceanPact is not a message in a bottle, it’s a strategy with clear actions and targets. It brings all EU ocean policies under one roof and guides our actions through six key priorities. Discover which they are 👇
