Executive Vice-President for Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy of the European Commission 🇪🇺🇫🇮
We are standing firm. The EU just approved one of its strongest sanctions package against Russia to date. We’re cutting the Kremlin’s war budget further, going after 105 more shadow fleet ships, their enablers, and limiting Russian banks’ access to funding. (1/3)
I welcome the agreement on our 18th sanctions package against Russia. We are striking at the heart of Russia's war machine. Targeting its banking, energy and military-industrial sectors and including a new dynamic oil price cap. The pressure is on. It will stay on until…

Min @Antonio_Tajani met today with Vice-President of 🇪🇺 Commission for technological sovereignty, security and democracy @HennaVirkkunen. Reaffirmed the centrality of investing in growth and technological innovation to stimulate European growth and competitiveness.
Our budget will help build a Union that protects. We are proposing €131 billion for Defence and Space, under the Competitiveness Fund. 5 times of what we have today. This will strengthen our industrial base and our capabilities.
Agriculture and cohesion remain at the heart of our budget. They are central pillars of European solidarity and investment. Investing in people, Member States and regions. Safeguarding farmers’ livelihoods. And dedicating strong resources to social policies.
Today we present the EU budget for 2028-2034. It's a budget for a new era, that matches Europe’s ambition. That addresses Europe’s challenges. That strengthens our independence.
A 30% tariff on EU exports would hurt businesses, consumers and patients on both sides of the Atlantic. We will continue working towards an agreement by August 1. At the same time, we are ready to safeguard EU interests on the basis of proportionate countermeasures.
Thank you for the good discussion yesterday @peterkyle 💻
Great to speak to @HennaVirkkunen to discuss how we deliver a new partnership for digital and tech. We will build on existing, productive cooperation, and plan to hold a first UK-EU Digital Dialogue between senior officials in the coming months.
