@EPP @EPP_CoR @OGeblewicz Thank you so much! Looking forward close cooperation @ManfredWeber and all @EPP family! #together we are strong and make #competitive Europe in all regions and cities💪 And thank you @OGeblewicz lets keep up the good work.

@OGeblewicz @borbolycsaba @sarirautio Peripheral regions are always the first to suffer from poorly designed or overly centralised systems. The criteria for classifying regions must be precise, transparent and fair – otherwise we risk deepening, not reducing, territorial disparities. @mcuip

The next EU budget is not just about figures, it is about democracy, security and trust. The MFF must be ambitious and flexible enough to respond to crises, but it cannot do so by centralising power in Brussels or weakening cohesion. @sarirautio

Today in @EU_CoR NAT @sarirautio underlined that regions and cities must be at the table in the #MFF debate. “Do no harm to cohesion” must guide every EU decision, with predictable funding and real partnership. Stronger regions mean a stronger Europe. #CohesionPolicy

Olen syvästi kiitollinen ja onnellinen. En voi kuvitella mielenkiintoisempaa ja tärkeämpää tehtävää kuin toimia suomalaisen elinkeinoelämän puolestapuhujana. Jatkan suurella innolla työtä kasvun, uudistumisen ja kestävän tulevaisuuden eteen yhdessä EK:n toimiston

@EU_CoR @sarirautio Excellent dialogue on the #FutureofCohesionPolicy! The debate on the next MFF is about the kind of Union we build. Cohesion must be universal and a permanent investment. Let's defend a strong, modern Cohesion Policy for 2028–2034! @sarirautio

The threats to our security are real and growing. Europe must urgently boost capacity to protect our skies and our infrastructure. Poland is the largest defence spender in Europe. And it will be the biggest beneficiary of the SAFE instrument. Razem jesteśmy silniejsi.

Water resilience doesn’t start in Brussels – it starts in our towns, cities and regions. - this was todays topic in Harghita County with @borbolycsaba and @CoR_President

This week: Following the @EU_Commission’s proposals on #MFF last week, the @Europarl_EN is ready to start the proper legislative work on the #EU long-term #budget. Thursday & Sunday: I will be in #Bucharest, speaking at a high-level conference on #cohesion. More:

Our priorities for the upcoming 🇪🇺EU budget are clear: 1️⃣ We need a strong role for our regions! 2️⃣ The Common Agricultural Policy must clearly demonstrate that we have listened to our farmers! 3️⃣ We need a strong democratic role for the European Parliament!

@sarirautio @MartensCentre @trzaskowski_ @KBakoyannis @mmarkkula Wrapping up today’s panel on the EU’s climate targets: our message is clear — Europe will only deliver on climate if cities and regions are treated as real partners, backed by a predictable, people-centred EU budget that boosts competitiveness and security. 🌍🏙️

@sarirautio @MartensCentre @trzaskowski_ @KBakoyannis Europe’s divide is not East–West or North–South. It’s between connected & disconnected energy systems, capital-rich & capital-constrained regions, and between mature industrial regions and those still reinventing their industrial base. @KBakoyannis

@sarirautio @MartensCentre @trzaskowski_ @KBakoyannis Europe cannot deliver its priorities without cities & regions. Centralising the EU budget weakens cohesion & climate action and sidelines those who implement EU policies on the ground. We need a people-focused MFF: lower bills, clean air, stronger competitiveness. @trzaskowski_

Cities and regions implement 70% of EU climate mitigation and 90% of adaptation. If our targets are not rooted locally, they will not happen. We need a predictable #MFF and strong Cohesion Policy to make Europe competitive, secure and fair for every region. @sarirautio

⁠A decade on from the #Bataclan attack #13November, we remember the victims & survivors, & we thank those who responded with courage & care. We honor their memory by choosing empathy over fear & by working each day for communities that are open, safe & humane. @EU_CoR

@EU_CoR @DrenjaninJelena We co-design early, with LRAs at the table. We cut friction where implementation stalls, measure what matters—time to permit, cost to comply, speed to deploy— & we invest in skills & shared digital infrastructure so that good law becomes good delivery everywhere. @DrenjaninJelena

We all want a budget that ensures Europe’s agency in a fast-changing world. As priorities evolve, we are introducing a mechanism for the Parliament and Council to decide on them together. Boosting Europe’s ability to act and react. And our democracy ↓

The @Europarl_EN is ready to start legislative work. We will keep fighting for a #budget that is modern, transparent and European, one that meets citizens’ expectations and strengthens Europe’s future. #EPlenary #MFF

❗️NEW TIME! Press conference with co-rapporteurs @SMuresan and @carlatavares_ps following the plenary debate on the next EU long-term budget, #MFF, will start at 18.00 CET. Follow live: https://t.co/WftaNyvew8 Details for journalists: https://t.co/CzVo0T34ov
