Daphne Caruana Galizia should be with us at @Europarl_EN tonight. She should be here to see the journalists we honour in her name. Journalists who, like Daphne, refuse to look away. We remember Daphne. We will not stop fighting for the justice she deserves. xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1kJzDPRgm…

Europe’s defence is getting stronger. Today at @Europarl_EN, signing into law the Defence Readiness Omnibus and AGILE programme. More investment. Greater innovation. Simpler procedures. A Europe better prepared to defend itself.

Great to welcome the Speaker of the Parliament of Singapore Seah Kian Peng to @Europarl_EN in Strasbourg as he begins his European tour. We had a good discussion on strengthening our friendly relations, deepening parliamentary dialogue and expanding cooperation, particularly in trade. As we mark 50 years of the EU-ASEAN partnership next year, there is plenty to build on 🇪🇺🇸🇬 – at Strasbourg, France

Felicitări și mult succes lui @LucaNiculescu pentru alegerea sa în funcția de prim-ministru al României. Într-un moment în care securitatea și nevoia unei Europe mai puternice și mai unite sunt mai importante ca oricând, România are un rol important în conturarea viitorului european 🇪🇺🇷🇴

Good news for Europe’s farmers and consumers. @Europarl_EN and @EUCouncil have just agreed on new rules for organic production, labelling, certification and trade. Clearer rules mean fairer competition for organic producers, less red tape for small operators, and improved consumer confidence in organic food. Thank you @EP_Agriculture Chair @vrecionova, Rapporteur @CamillaLaureti and all the team for this deal with @Ireland2026eu.

Europe’s greatest strength has always been its people. Enjoyed sitting down with @AdamsonPaul to discuss what makes Europe competitive and how to stay ahead, the work MEPs do to improve people’s lives, the future of EU-UK relations & much more. Here’s part of our conversation.

An important #EUCO ahead of us today. On behalf of @Europarl_EN, our message is clear: Europe must step up on three fronts. Security. Competitiveness. Investment in people’s priorities. – at Brussels, Belgium

Europe needs an ambitious budget that invests in people and in our continent’s future without burdening the next generation with today’s debt. That is how Europe can stay competitive, strengthen our security, reinforce our ability to act and respond to people’s concerns. Good discussions with @eucopresident António Costa and @Europarl_EN group leaders and negotiating team ahead of tomorrow’s #EUCO. – at Brussels, Belgium

Enlargement is moving forward. The momentum is building. Today, Ukraine and Moldova take another step forward, opening two more negotiation clusters. Montenegro has closed three additional chapters, while Albania has closed another. Different countries, all making progress towards a stronger, safer, more united Europe.

Today the world marks three years since that black October 7th 2023. Since that fateful morning when Hamas terrorists massacred 1195 people in Israel. Since 251 people, including young children and the elderly, were dragged from their homes and taken hostage. Some days stay with you. The scars are still raw for so many. The @Europarl_EN remembers the victims of that day of horror as we recommit to ending terrorism, finding a path to peace and redoubling our efforts to stamp out the ancient evil of antisemitism.

Very good meeting with the United Kingdom Minister for European Relations @HFalconerMP at @Europarl_EN today. We are looking at how to build on our progress and bring the EU and UK closer together as like-minded partners and friends. Stronger cooperation makes sense, and it delivers for both sides: our people, our economies, and our shared security 🇪🇺🇬🇧 – at Strasbourg, France
