This would also deliver on a key commitment from last year’s summit, and would complement the arrangements that 🇬🇧 already operates successfully with 13 countries around the world. 2/2

This is factually wrong from @danny__kruger. A 🇬🇧🇪🇺 Youth Mobility Scheme would give young people and businesses new opportunities, while also helping to rebuild relations between the UK and the EU. Importantly, we would not need to join the Single Market or Customs Union. 1/2

It is also vital that proposals to rebuild the 🇬🇧🇪🇺 relationship are subjected to the fullest parliamentary scrutiny. @LordKirkhope emphasises that greater alignment with the EU must have the consent of Parliament at every stage, and Henry VIII powers should be used with caution.
English
The positive rhetoric from Ministers must be matched by tangible progress at the forthcoming UK-EU Summit on a youth experience scheme, an SPS agreement, mutual recognition of professional qualifications, and a fair deal for our touring artists.

We welcome the steps taken in this week’s King's Speech towards strengthening ties with our 🇪🇺 partners but more must now be done with greater transparency from the 🇬🇧 Govt

A consensual declaration Europe can be proud of. On the topic of migration, we have managed to bring together national viewpoints and the Court's case-law addressing the contemporary challenges of migration and ensuring the full respect for the ECHR.

I dag var Suzanne och jag värdar för den årliga middagen för diplomatkåren i Helsingfors. Jag är glad över att som president få fortsätta denna solenna tradition. I kväll var över hundra länder representerade på Presidentens slott.

The European Convention on Human Rights protects us all.
When our members have important concerns, we discuss them together. We are working on a common declaration on migration and the ECHR in Chişinău next week.

There is no serious way to manage borders and tackle international crime while shutting ourselves off from Europe’s data.
For Prosper UK, @LordKirkhope tells us losing Eurodac and SIS-II left real gaps in our national security.
We need to work with our European partners to tackle our shared challenges.

Ireland carries a lived understanding of what the #ECHR means in practice. The Good Friday Agreement shows this clearly. An inspiration to many.
With Minister @ThomasByrneTD, we discussed the rule of law, migration, foreign interference, and how to protect free expression while preventing its abuse.
I look forward to working closely with @coe and Ireland as it takes on the Presidency of the @EUCouncil in July.

Productive meeting with Secretary General @alain_berset today.
We discussed the vital work of the Council of Europe and the need to adapt the human rights system to meet modern challenges.
In an uncertain world, we must work together to build a more secure and stable Europe.
