Europe needs more investment in wind, solar, nuclear and dispatchable capacity to keep power prices competitive. Also: better ETS predictability, stronger interconnections and protection of critical energy infrastructure. Andres Sutt ahead of #energy ministers’ meeting today.

@vozemberg Thanks for the great discussion on key transport files—looking forward to our cooperation!

#StandWithUkaine With our Coreper II, Coreper I and PSC teams, we mark for years since Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine. We think of all who have suffered and those who gave their lives. Ukraine’s future is in Europe and we’ll stand by Ukraine for as long as it takes.

Ministers reached a partial general approach on CEF! 🚝⚡️🔌

Let the market drive the switch to electric cars, says Minister Kuldar Leis after #TTE Transport Council. Firms are already moving to EVs because they make business sense. No need for extra rules in today’s tough economic and security climate. More (🇪🇪): kliimaministeerium.ee/uudised/leis-b…

Telegram is a serious security risk. In Estonia, Telegram channels have spread fake Russian-language threats against schools. Minister Liisa Pakosta calls to designate Telegram a VLOP. Estimates show it has over 45M users. The DSA must be enforced to protect minors online.

In autumn, as the leaves change color and days grow shorter, we host the Estonian Ambassadors from EU and NATO countries, along with colleagues from Tallinn, here in Brussels. Delighted to share firsthand insights on the most pressing issues right at the heart of the EU. 🧵

After long talks, the EU’s 2040 climate target has been agreed! - Cut greenhouse gas emissions by 90% if required preconditions are met - Postpone ETS2 by 1 year EU climate policy spurs clean-tech investment and strengthens the economy. More (🇪🇪) kliimaministeerium.ee/uudised/euroop…

The EU must act together, recognising different national challenges, including ours as a forestry‑rich country. Europe has the talent, capital and market to lead technologically and win on both climate and competitiveness. Minister Andres Sutt ahead of today's #ENVI Council

👏#AGRIFISH 2026 Baltic Sea fishing limits agreed! Estonia secures +45% sprat and +15% central Baltic herring quotas, cod and salmon protections stay in place. Minister Terras: a balanced deal for coastal communities and stock recovery. 📰 More (🇪🇪) agri.ee/uudised/eesti-…

Important discussions for Baltic Sea fishers: 2026 fishing quotas to be agreed.   Our fish stocks suffer from predators — seals and cormorants. Quotas must fully follow the best scientific advice.   Minister Hendrik Johannes Terras, ahead of two days of #AGRIFISH:

On the sidelines of yesterday’s Energy Council, Estonia joined the Nuclear Alliance to prepare for nuclear deployment, shape EU policy, and build expertise for a secure, clean energy future. Estonia also remains a full member of the renewables co-op. kliimaministeerium.ee/en/news/estoni…

Also, the role of the #ConnectingEuropeFacility in funding cross‑border grid projects, enhancing storage capacity and developing offshore links was highlighted to accelerate renewables build‑out. #FriendsOfRenewables

A decision long overdue, but finally done! 👏

Inspiring conversation! Grateful to Minister Kristina Kallas for carving out time to discuss with us both EU research and innovation funding and developments in Estonia, including how teachers are using AI in schools. More on the Estonian AI Leap: en.tihupe.ee

At the #COMPET #research council today, Estonia's Minister Kristina Kallas met Cyprus' Deputy Minister Nicodemos Damianou to discuss: - the future of Horizon Europe, which should keep supporting countries with smaller research capacities - reducing the EU innovation gap

Today all 27 EU countries, including Estonia, endorsed the Semicon Declaration to secure tech leadership. Semiconductors power AI, infrastructure and defense — we need a Chips Act 2.0 focused on collaboration, investment, skills, sustainability and international partnerships.

Thank you for a good exchange, Comissioner @VDombrovskis. Estonia leads swift action to simplify EU rules — less red tape, more support for our businesses. Russian assets must stay frozen until Ukraine is fully compensated. EU taxpayers shouldn’t foot the bill — Russia must.

@ErkkiKeldo, Estonia’s Minister for Economic Affairs and Industry, highlighted two priorities at today’s #COMPET council: 1. A larger Competitiveness Fund focused on strategic needs and fair access for companies 2. Reduce red tape by accelerating digitalisation of EU processes
