Congratulations to Lithuania’s new Prime Minister @mindaugassink. Lithuania plays a vital role in strengthening Europe’s security and defending our shared values. I wish you every success as we continue building a stronger, more secure Europe together 🇪🇺🇱🇹

Il y a dix ans, l'Europe était bouleversée par le terrible attentat terroriste de Nice. Une décennie plus tard, nous rendons hommage aux 86 victimes, aux centaines de personnes blessées et aux familles à jamais marquées par cette nuit. Que leur mémoire continue de nous unir dans notre détermination à lutter contre la haine et la violence, et à défendre une Europe fondée sur la paix et la liberté. Nous n'oublierons jamais 🇪🇺🇫🇷

Saddened to hear of the sudden passing of US Senator @LindseyGrahamSC. He was a titan of US politics, a voice for liberty across the world and a proud servant of South Carolina for more than three decades.  Senator Graham stood against tyranny, he understood the importance of supporting Ukraine in its darkest moments and of strengthening the transatlantic alliance between Europe and the United States. When we were on stage together at the @MunSecConf earlier this year, I remember smiling as it became clear that he considered every threat from autocrats as a badge of honour - and it is testament to his global influence and lasting legacy how many he proudly wore. He will be deeply missed by more people than he would ever know.

This is the moment to show that Europe can rise to people’s expectations and keep hope alive for those within our borders and for everyone in our neighbourhood looking to join our Union 🇪🇺 Thank you @TheEconomist for hosting such a timely conversation with Prime Minister @kmitsotakis in Athens.

Delighted to share the stage with @PrimeministerGR @kmitsotakis at @TheEconomist #EconRoundtableGR in Athens. My message tonight was that Europe must remain an unshakeable force for stability and progress. That means leading with confidence and keeping the European flag flying high.

Ευχαριστώ @PrimeministerGR @kmitsotakis for the warm welcome and our discussions in beautiful Athens tonight. I always value our exchanges. Your pragmatism and steady leadership help keep Europe moving forward. Greece is a powerful reminder of what can be achieved, and of the opportunities that lie ahead for all of us 🇪🇺🇬🇷

To Europe's startups, SMEs, businesses, and innovators: this is for you. On behalf of @Europarl_EN, I have just signed the Digital Omnibus on AI, after MEPs delivered it at unprecedented speed. Less paperwork. More innovation. That's how we help small businesses compete on the global stage. That's how we make it easier for startups to scale up. That's how we strengthen our competitiveness. Europe listens. Europe acts.

Europe is strengthening its partnership with Mexico 🇪🇺🇲🇽 @Europarl_EN has just voted in favour of two important agreements that will deepen political cooperation and unlock new trade, investment and job opportunities on both sides of the Atlantic. With Mexico being a strategic trading partner in Latin America, these agreements will lead to stronger, more resilient economic ties. Thank you Rapporteurs @javilopezEU and @borjagimenezl for getting this through.

When natural disasters strike, it is families and local communities that carry the heaviest burden. By mobilising €144 million through the EU Solidarity Fund for areas in Spain, Romania and Cyprus affected by devastating floods, wildfires and heatwaves, @Europarl_EN is helping people recover and rebuild. Europe stands together when it matters most. #SolidarityinAction 🇪🇺🇪🇸🇷🇴🇨🇾

From Dublin to Strasbourg, from Galway to Brussels, @Ireland2026eu's 'Strength with Unity' will continue to guide us forward. @MichealMartinTD 🇪🇺🇮🇪

As we face the challenges and opportunities ahead, @Ireland2026eu can count on @Europarl_EN as a steadfast partner in delivering a safer, stronger, more confident Europe. That leads on the world stage & delivers for people at home. @MichealMartinTD 🇪🇺🇮🇪 x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Landed! 🇪🇺✈️ The new agreement on air passenger rights has just been voted by an overwhelming majority in @Europarl_EN. This brings greater certainty to the aviation sector, stronger passenger rights, and easier travel across Europe. Proud of the work done by all MEPs, especially Rapporteur @AndreyNovakov and @EP_Transport Vice-Chair @VSinkevicius, whose determination and commitment made this result possible.

Great to welcome the Taoiseach of Ireland @MichealMartinTD at @Europarl_EN today in the opening week of @Ireland2026eu, to set out the priorities for the six months ahead with MEPs. Together, we're ready to take Europe further: strengthening our Union, making lives easier for families, helping businesses thrive, and investing in Europe's own security 🇪🇺🇮🇪

Tonight, @Europarl_EN held a moment of silence for the earthquake victims in Venezuela. Europe continues to stand with Venezuela, by deploying rescue teams, delivering aid, and supporting recovery efforts 🇪🇺🇻🇪

Happy Birthday, America! Here's to the next 250 years 🇪🇺🇺🇸

Another terrible night in Kyiv and across other Ukrainian cities after last night's massive Russian missile and drone attack. Relieved that @Europarl_EN staff there are safe after the place where they were staying was hit. My thoughts are with all those who lost loved ones, those who were injured, and everyone who once again was forced to spend the night under attack 🇪🇺🇺🇦

The EU’s next long-term budget must strike a smart balance: investing in new priorities like competitiveness, security and innovation, while safeguarding traditional areas. Great to discuss this approach with Eurogroup President Kyriakos @Pierrakakis. We will continue our close cooperation.

Sehr guter Austausch mit @bundesrat Präsident Andreas Bovenschulte heute im @Europarl_DE. Europa ist dann am stärksten, wenn es gemeinsam mit seinen Regionen handelt. Bei den Verhandlungen zum nächsten langfristigen EU-Haushalt wird die enge Zusammenarbeit mit den deutschen Ländern entscheidend sein. Außerdem haben wir darüber gesprochen, wie die Kohäsionspolitik die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit stärken und gleichzeitig unnötige Bürokratie abbauen kann 🇪🇺🇩🇪

Go n-éirí go geal le hÉirinn! 🇪🇺🇮🇪 'Ní neart go cur le chéile' - beidh seo mar threoir ag an Eoraip sna sé mhí atá romhainn. Beidh @Europarl_EN ina comhpháirtí láidir, iontaofa i rith @Ireland2026eu. Táim ag tnúth le bheith ag obair go dlúth leat, a Thaoisigh @MichealMartinTD.

A deal that rewards efficiency. Today's Eurovignette agreement is a win-win: good for an effective road charging system and good for the climate. It shows that Europe can deliver practical solutions that strengthen both decarbonisation and competitiveness. Congratulations to @EP_Transport Chair @vozemberg, Rapporteur @matteoricci, and the @Europarl_EN team for reaching this agreement with @EUCouncil and @CY2026EU.
