Statement by Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson on the return to Sweden of Johan Floderus and Saeed Azizi government.se/t/535089/en

Precis vald till vice ordförande för @EPPgroup. Hedrad över förtroendet att vara med och leda gruppens politiska arbete. Det ger Sverige ett ökat inflytande i Europaparlamentet.

Honoured to be elected as Vice-Chair of the EPP Group. Important work lies ahead of us. We must continue to deliver on migration, competitiveness, combating organised crime and of course stand with Ukraine as long as it takes.

Very happy to welcome Ulf Kristersson Ulf Kristersson to European Parliament this morning. As we strengthen our cooperation with Ukraine, I thank you for your leadership for a safer and more secure Europe 🇪🇺🇸🇪

No words can describe my anger seeing Russia's brutal and bloody attack on a children's hospital in Kyiv. Orban is a charlatan. His fake peace mission to Moscow is a threat to European security. Europe must arm Ukrainians to help them to defeat evil Putin.

If you need one argument why it is necessary to aid Ukraine so that it can defeat Russia, then here it is. And we will help Ukraine, I can assure you. 🇸🇪💙🇺🇦

Shocking images as Russian missiles hit Okhmatdyt Hospital, #Ukraine’s largest children’s hospital. It's a reminder of why we must support Ukraine and why outright Russian war criminals must be held to account.

The Swedish government has decided to nominate Jessika Roswall as new Commissioner. A very good decision and big congratulations to Jessika! She has done an excellent job as Minister for EU Affairs.

Bisarrt att det finns krafter som på allvar anser att Ukraina ska förhandla med dessa bestar.

The Swedish Government has today nominated Jessika Roswall, Minister for EU Affairs, as Sweden’s next EU Commissioner.

Jag är mycket hedrad och tacksam över att ha nominerats och fått förtroende av statsministern att bli Sveriges nästa kommissionär. Det är ett ärofyllt uppdrag och det känns helt fantastiskt. Stort tack! 🇪🇺

A major development for 🇸🇪&🇪🇺! The European Commission confirmed Sweden's participation in the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO). When the EPPO started its operations in June 2021, 22 🇪🇺countries were part of it. Today, 24 Member States are committed to fighting against fraud affecting the Union budget.

Congratulations to #Sweden 🇸🇪 for joining the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO). This marks an important development for the Union.   After #Poland, one more 🇪🇺 country has joined the EPPO, now gathering 24 EU Member States committed to investigating & prosecuting crimes affecting the Union budget.

👏👏👏

Stort grattis till Jessica Polfjärd! Hon har i dag valts om till vice gruppledare i miljöutskottet för Europaparlamentets största partigrupp, EPP. EU behöver en ambitiös och effektiv klimatpolitik. Rollen ger Jessica inflytande att sänka utsläppen och samtidigt öka tillväxten!

Att värna den globala frihandeln är ett genuint svenskt intresse i EU. Därför vill jag även gratulera Jörgen Warborn (M), som fortsätter uppdraget som EPP:s gruppledare i handelsutskottet. En tung roll som ger Sverige mer att säga till om i Bryssel!

Today I had the honour to speak alongside Finland's Prime Minister Petteri Orpo at the Monday Movement in Stockholm about our countries' support to Ukraine, which is unwavering. Just last week Sweden's 17th military support package was presented, and we've provided a total of

Att Jessika Roswall tilldelas ansvar för miljö, konkurrenskraft och cirkulär ekonomi i den tillträdande kommissionen är mycket välkommet. Inte minst för hantering av skogsfrågorna. Hon kan också ta vidare det viktiga arbetet från det svenska ordförandeskapet; EU:s konkurrenskraft
