🕯On 2 August 1944, around 4,300 Roma and Sinti were murdered in Auschwitz-Birkenau, ending of the so-called ‘Gypsy family camp’.

This was part of the Roma Holocaust, which took over 500,000 lives.

Today we honour the memory of victims & stand against prejudice of Romani people.

👨🏼🏫With the Council of Europe, we're working to bring Roma Holocaust history in school curricula across Europe, so young people can grow up embracing inclusion.

Have you heard of the 3-30-300 🌳 rule?

Everyone should be able to:

🌲 See at least 3 trees from their home
🌳 Have 30% tree canopy cover in their neighbourhood
🍃 Live within 300 metres of a high-quality green space

Trees help us cool down our towns in the summer, improve air quality and regulate the water cycle.

That’s why The EU Biodiversity Strategy commits to planting at least 3 billion additional trees in the EU by 2030.

We have preliminarily found Temu in breach of its obligation to properly assess the risks of illegal products being sold on its marketplace.

Evidence shows there is a high risk for EU consumers to come across illegal products on the platform.

Analysis of a mystery shopping exercise we conducted found that consumers shopping on Temu are very likely to find non-compliant products among the offer, such as baby toys and small electronics.

Today, we welcome the Council's adoption of the 18th sanctions package against Russia for its continued illegal war in Ukraine.

The new measures intensify pressure on the banking, energy, and military-industrial sectors, while implementing a newly designed, dynamic oil price cap.

We will keep piling on the pressure until Russia ends its war.

Our support for Ukraine and its people is unflinching.
