Fiscal sustainability is a key precondition for a strong EU economy 👇

President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu of @ec.europa.eu has positioned Europe as a strong global actor in her #SOTEU: 'We have a 📈 huge market, 🏭 world-class industry & services, 🪙 a rich pool of savings, and 💶 one of the world's leading currencies.' 🔗 Read her speech ➡️ link.europa.eu/nv9Vvj

Shared values and common challenges have long made the EU and Canada friends, partners, and allies. Marking the start of a new era, an associate membership to the EU would strengthen and deepen our cooperation, to create common prosperity and economic security. #SOTEU2026 #SOTEU 🇪🇺🇨🇦

Russia is intensifying its efforts to test, probe and intimidate Europe. With the new Emergency Security Protocol, Europe will deter threats and respond together to acts of aggression. An attack against one Member State is an attack against all of our Union. #SOTEU2026 #SOTEU

The need for #simplification is existential for our businesses – especially SMEs. I join the call for 🇪🇺 MS to step up, and welcome the announcement of a pact against gold-plating. And a new Banking Package focusing on simplification will increase the sector’s competitiveness. #SOTEU2026 #SOTEU

Much has been done to build a more #competitive 🇪🇺 Europe. Much more remains to be done. I welcome President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu’s call to complete the overhaul of the Single Market by the end of 2027, on the basis of the One Europe One Market Roadmap. We must all do our share. #SOTEU2026

#RigaConf2026: EU’s priorities are competitiveness & security. A stronger Europe is a larger Europe. The EU has successfully integrated a NR of countries in the past, including as large ones as 🇺🇦. Enlargement must remain merit-based, governance must be strengthened to accommodate a larger EU.

Very much looking forward to the #RigaConf2026 🇱🇻 today & tomorrow: 🕙 10 Sept at 17:30 EEST/ 16:30 CET Fireside chat on 🇪🇺 place in the World in turmoil. 🕙 11 Sept at 10:00 EEST/ 09:00 CET panel discussing Two Years from The Draghi Report: The State of EU’s Competitiveness 🎥 rigaconference.lv

✅ #NextGenerationEU has shown that the 🇪🇺 EU can deliver growth and improve people’s lives when we act together. Today, we reach a key milestone: the deadline for implementing national reforms and investments. Our priority now is ensuring the timely and successful conclusion of the #RRF.

Pleased to take part in today’s General Affairs Council, with constructive discussions on @Ireland2026eu's policy priorities, advancing the #simplification agenda, and progressing the 'One Europe, One Market' roadmap. Read my remarks ➡️ link.europa.eu/BnXV7R #GAC

Today marks the start of trilogue negotiations on the #DigitalEuro. Europe needs a common currency fit for the digital age – while protecting the use of cash. @eu-economy-finance.ec.europa.eu stands ready to support @europarl.europa.eu and @consilium.europa.eu in reaching an ambitious agreement.

Productive exchanges at today's #ECOFIN on: 📈 The economic outlook amid latest global developments 🇺🇦 Supporting Ukraine ⏳ Implementing the #RRF as we near the finish line My remarks ➡️ link.europa.eu/mVmjQg

Świetna rozmowa z ministrem finansów 🇵🇱 @andrzej-domanski.bsky.social podczas #URC26. Dziękuję za organizację tego ważnego wydarzenia! Rozmawialiśmy o kolejnych krokach na rzecz mobilizacji wsparcia finansowego dla 🇺🇦 oraz postępach we wdrażaniu reform – leżących zarówno w interesie UE, jak i Polski.

Tiekoties ar 🇱🇻 Latvijas Ministru prezidentu Andri Kulbergu Ukrainas atjaunošanas konferencē #URC26, pārrunājām turpmāko atbalstu Ukrainai. ✅️ Šodien 🇺🇦 no Eiropas Komisijas saņem €3,2 miljardus. Apspriedām arī darāmo Latvijā un ES, lai stiprinātu drošību Eiropā un tās Austrumu pierobežā.

At this year’s Ukraine Recovery Conference #URC26, @ec.europa.eu proves once again that our support for 🇺🇦 is concrete and steadfast. ✅️We are disbursing the first €3.2 billion instalment of the Ukraine Support Loan after the country completed various conditions, notably to mobilise domestic revenue.

Heading to 🇵🇱 Gdańsk for Ukraine Recovery Conference #URC26, the 9th #URC edition 🇪🇺🤝🇺🇦 The EU has stood firmly by Ukraine over the years, and will continue to do so – with further financial support, progress in accession talks, closer defence cooperation, and sanctions against the aggressor Russia.

Today, the @ec.europa.eu presents two new Omnibus #simplification packages. 📋 On taxation: less red tape for taxpayers. ⚡ On energy products: simpler rules for suppliers and dealers. Together: €3.4 billion in annual administrative savings across 🇪🇺 My statement ➡️ link.europa.eu/T9jJp3

Thank you to Minister of Finance Makis Keravnos and the @cy2026eu.bsky.social team at the end of the last #ECOFIN under the 🇨🇾 Council Presidency for their hard work in advancing important files, including the 🇺🇦 Support Loan, RRF implementation, CBAM, and the Savings and Investments Union. Ευχαριστώ!

As Russia's war of aggression in 🇺🇦 is increasingly also felt in the EU's Eastern Member States via hybrid attacks, disinformation campaigns and drone incursions, today we propose a strong package of further 🇪🇺 financial, energy and trade #sanctions, and other measures. Now we need swift adoption.

Europe’s competitiveness depends on practical solutions, shaped in dialogue with the private sector. I thank @elinkeinoelama.fi for hosting an important discussion with Finnish business leaders on economic growth, regulatory simplification, and next steps for 🇪🇺 EU action. @eukomissio.ec.europa.eu

🤝 Very good meeting with @ollirehn.suomenpankki.fi, Governor of the Bank of Finland. Our discussion focused on the macroeconomic outlook, implementation of the 🇪🇺 Economic Governance Framework and progress on the digital euro. @suomenpankki.fi @eukomissio.ec.europa.eu

🇫🇮 Touchdown in Helsinki! Two packed days ahead focused on key shared priorities, including: 🔹Competitiveness & innovation 🔹Simplification 🔹Security & support for the EU's Eastern Border Regions Looking forward to hearing the perspectives of Finnish stakeholders. @eukomissio.ec.europa.eu

Šodien publicētajā 🇪🇺 Eiropas pusgada pavasara paketē Eiropas Komisija vērtē, ka 🇱🇻 Latvija joprojām īsteno atbildīgu budžeta politiku. 📌 Būtiskākās prioritātes turpmāk: drošība, ekonomikas konkurētspēja, inovācijas, sociālā noturība. ➡️ Plašāk: ec.europa.eu/commission/p...

The Middle East conflict has triggered a new energy shock, with EU inflation projected to rise to 3.1% and growth set to slow to 1.1% in 2026. Europe’s response must be guided by the lessons of past crises. link.europa.eu/bd4jNg #ECForecast
