On #RomaHolocaustDay, we pay tribute to the 500,000 Roma murdered under the Nazi regime.

Roma people still face racism and discrimination. This is why we continue working with the EU Countries on our Roma Strategic Framework for equality, inclusion and participation.

As the number of survivors and witnesses of these horrors dwindles, it is our duty to continue their remembrance and pass on their testimonies.

#UnionOfEquality

We are one in fighting climate change.

Our latest special Eurobarometer survey shows it:

- 87% think it is important that we set ambitious targets to increase renewable energy.

Our #EUGreenDeal is all about it.

Let's build this future together.

All onboard a night train! 🚆

Rail is one of the most sustainable means of transport we have, but cross-border trips account for just 7% of the kilometres travelled by train.

This is why we are supporting 10 pilot projects to create new international train connections in the EU.

They will help us improve the quality of service and make them a viable option for more people.

We reached a new milestone in ensuring the openness of digital markets.

Last week, 7 companies notified us they qualify as 'Gatekeepers' under the Digital Market Act.

We will check their submission before designating them. They will have 6 months to comply with the #DMA and, among others, be unable to:
- lock in users in their ecosystem;
- decide which apps you need pre-installed or which app store to use;
- treat their own products and services more favourably.

By 2024, the USB-C port will be mandatory for all portable electronic devices in the EU.

This means that you will soon be able to recharge most of your devices with the same charger, making piling up bundles of cables a thing of the past.

Not only will this make your life easier, but it will also reduce greenhouse gas emissions and e-waste.

🏠 and houses to be rebuilt.

Today, President von der Leyen will participate in the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2023 in London, demonstrating our commitment to mobilizing global support for Ukraine's economic and social stabilisation and recovery.

A major global financial effort will be required. But Ukraine can count on our full support.

#StandWithUkraine #URC2023

We have stood up in unity and solidarity to regain our energy independence, cut Russian fossil fuel imports, and support Ukraine.

This was possible thanks to the efforts of EU citizens and companies embracing #REPowerEU.

In one year, we have diversified our supply, scaled up renewables, and saved energy to rapidly move away from Russian fossil fuel imports.

Our job is not done, but we are more resolute and united than ever, and better prepared to face next winter.

We contacted Nintendo to address the recurring problem with defective Switch controllers and they agreed to offer all consumers the right to repair, free of charge, even beyond the legal guarantee!

This will prevent the disposal of unrepaired controllers and unnecessary waste.

A year ago, the world as we knew it changed: Russia attacked Ukraine in a full-scale invasion, assaulting democratic values and peace.

Tonight we honour our Ukrainian friends by lighting up our headquarters in blue & yellow. Their bravery and resistance continue to stun the world.

Ukraine will prevail.

We will #StandWithUkraine, for as long as it takes.
