#20YearsTogether

20 years ago, our European family grew bigger.

This marks a crucial step towards addressing the prevalence of all forms of violence against women & domestic violence EU-wide.

I thank the European Parliament for the adoption of the directive for a #EUDisabilityCard and European Parking Card for persons with disabilities, which I tabled last year.

This is a testament to our collective commitment to inclusion and equality.

I addressed European Parliament on the Reform and Growth Facility, which consists of a EUR 6 billion package for the Western Balkans.

This will help the Western Balkans partners prepare better and quicker for the EU membership.
