🇪🇺🇺🇸 A stable, predictable economic relationship with the United States is a vital pillar for Europe’s prosperity. Keeping those relations strong is in everyone's interest. 📽️ Watch ECR trade coordinator @PolatoDaniele react to today's progress on EU-US trade. @EP_Trade

🛑 Stop the ETS. Protect European jobs and industry. Now, with EU leaders in Brussels, we call on them to make the right choice for Europe’s competitiveness. 📽️ @StjepoBartulica @JaakMadison @AnnaZalewskaMEP

🇪🇺🇺🇸 The ECR Group welcomes today’s progress on implementing the EU–US trade framework following the vote in @EP_Trade. This is a step toward restoring much-needed predictability for European businesses after months of uncertainty. We now call for a swift continuation of the legislative process.

🛑 Suspend the Emissions Trading System! Ahead of the @EUCouncil meeting kickoff tomorrow, we call on European leaders to halt the ETS. It works against European’s interests at a time of already crisis-level energy prices. Competitiveness. Now. 🗣️ @FidanzaCarlo

The ECR Group backed the AI Omnibus compromise in today’s joint @EP_SingleMarket @EP_Justice vote. 👉 But Europe still needs more of a competitiveness push. 📄 Read comments by our members @PiotrMuller and @Assita_Kanko @EP_SingleMarket @EP_Justice ecrgroup.eu/article/ecr_ba…

❗️ An excess of bizarre rules from the EU is undermining the real potential of European businesses. Our call: Less red tape, clearer rules and more innovation. 📽️ Watch @Assita_Kanko weigh in on the AI Omnibus!

AI is changing the global economy. Today in the European Parliament, MEPs will vote on how Europe should regulate artificial intelligence. Europe needs to accelerate on AI, and it’s the EU’s duty to help it. @EP_SingleMarket @EP_Justice

⚠️ Russian propaganda is rife in the EU. It’s all part of the Kremlin’s hybrid war campaign. 📽️ Our Estonian member @JaakMadison explains…

⏩ Help workers adapt for the future! "As we shape the European Competitiveness Fund, we have a real opportunity to invest in both innovation and skills, ensuring that workers can grow with new technologies." "This is how we build a strong, competitive and future-ready Europe." 🗣️ ECR MEP @MGTeodorescu today in @EPSocialAffairs

"With key sectors under increasing strain, a failure to act risks pushing more European industry out of Europe and leaving people to pay the price. "At a time when global energy prices are rising due to geopolitical tensions, it makes no sense for Europe to add further costs through its own policies. This is precisely the moment to halt the ETS and rethink our approach. "There is no justification for maintaining an energy pricing system that leaves Europe with some of the highest energy costs in the world. If we are serious about competitiveness, the ETS must be fundamentally rethought." ✍️ ECR Co-Chair @PatrykJaki

"Market volatility and growing political pressure underline the urgency of action." "In the current geopolitical situation, energy prices are undermining our industry and placing an increasing burden on households. If this is not addressed, leaders risk overlooking the issue that matters most to citizens and businesses alike. "The ETS may have been designed as a market tool, but in practice it has become a structural cost burden — in effect, a tax. Europe cannot restore competitiveness while refusing to seriously revisit a system that is driving prices up." ✍️ ECR Co-Chair @NProcaccini

Ahead of the upcoming @EUcouncil meeting, we call on EU leaders to halt the Emissions Trading System (ETS) and urgently address skyrocketing energy prices. Mounting costs continue to undermine Europe's competitiveness and economy while the burden on households is rising.

Our entire continent stands to benefit if Europeans can sell their products and services to even more people. 🤝 That’s why trade deals matter. Done right, they’re good for jobs, for businesses, and for growth! 📽️ @JaakMadison

⚡️ Recent shocks have exposed the cracks in Europe's energy security. The ECR response: Europe should produce more of the energy it needs itself. That means using every available technology, renewables, nuclear and Europe’s own resources. 📹 @KrisVanDijck1

⚡️ Technological neutrality is imperative. Watch @AlexandrVondra, our coordinator in @EP_Environment, demand a fair and balanced approach to EU energy production from the @EU_Commission.

❓️What happens if Europe cannot produce the energy it needs? ECR Co-Chair @NProcaccini argues that real stability starts with energy sovereignty, the ability to produce energy from Europe's own resources, using every available technology. ⤵️ Watch!

📑📉 Too much bureaucracy is bad for business. For the ECR Group, the solution to the EU's lagging economic performance is clear: ✔ cut red tape ✔ simplify regulation ✔ strengthen Europe’s competitiveness 📹 @ondrejkrutilek

Squatting is an attack on property rights. Plain and simple. 📹 ECR MEP @LaraMagoni

An uncomfortable truth for the federalists out there. 👉 Centralising power to Brussels only makes it cheaper for hostile entities to influence decision making that affects our whole continent of 450 million people. 📹 Watch @weimers explain!
