🎉Excellent news! The EU Council just adopted the decision to conclude our Trade Agreement with Central America, provisionally applied since 1 August 2013. I would like to thank all Member States for their trust and look forward to the full implementation of the Agreement.

#OnThisDay 3⃣5⃣ years ago, Jacques Delors presented his report, paving the way for the completion of the Single Market and the adoption of a single currency.

As we celebrate 2⃣5⃣ years of the Euro this year, his legacy continues to inspire us.

We have a #MigrationEU pact!

Thanks to European Parliament and EU Council and the courage to compromise.

And thanks to my team in EU Home Affairs for their tireless work.

History made.

We have delivered a robust legislative framework on how to deal with migration and asylum in the EU.

It has been more than ten years in the making. But we kept our word.

A balance between solidarity and responsibility.

This is the European way.

Extremely pleased with the European Parliament’s adoption of the #MigrationPact . Big thanks to everyone involved. We look ahead with Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU 2024 and plan a ministerial meeting on the implementation at the end of April. #EU2024BE

Today we had the pleasure to welcome His Majesty the King Philippe 🇧🇪 in our Permanent Representation after his historical speech in the 🇪🇺European Parliament!
