Well deserved! My colleague in Latvia, Ambassador @cmnpieterse, received the MoD Badge of Honor “for significant contribution to the development of national defense” from the Latvian Minister of Defence @AndrisSpruds @Latvian_MFA and @MinBZ: allies and friends @LVinEU
Ukraine’s anti-corruption institutions are vital to its reform path. Restricting them would be a significant setback. Safeguarding the independence of these institutions and continued progress on the rule of law remain key for Ukraine’s EU accession process.
Seriously concerned over today’s vote in the Rada. The dismantling of key safeguards protecting NABU’s independence is a serious step back. Independent bodies like NABU & SAPO, are essential for 🇺🇦’s EU path. Rule of Law remains in the very center of EU accession negotiations.
Frank discussion with @Svyrydenko_Y and @taraskachka. Expressed serious concerns over the latest Rule of Law developments, especially changes adopted to the law on NABU & SAPO. We'll continue working with Ukraine on the necessary rule of law reforms & progress on its EU path.

As wildfire risk remains high across Europe, a dedicated team of Dutch firefighters is strategically prepositioned in Galicia, Spain, via the #EUCivilProtection Mechanism. They ensure a swift and efficient response alongside local Spanish teams in case a fire breaks out. 🇳🇱🤝🇪🇸
Ik wens België 🇧🇪 een prachtige #nationalefeestdag #FeteNationale #21juli 194 jaar geleden, op 21 juli 1831, legde de eerste koning der Belgen, Leopold, de grondwettelijke eed af als koning. Met zijn hand op de meest vooruitstrevende grondwet uit die tijd.
The expected duration of working life in The Netherlands is 45 years. The longest in Europe.
"Europe is important for our prosperity. But the discussion shouldn’t always be about how the EU can spend more. It should be about how money can be spent better." 🎙️ Ambassador @PJKleiweg during today's #GAC on the new Multiannual Financial Framework
“De omvang van de concept EU begroting is echt te hoog. En een correctiemechanisme ontbreekt. Niet alles kan, en zeker niet alles tegelijkertijd. De essentie van politiek is het maken van keuzes in schaarste”.

De Europese Centrale Bank start een ontwerpwedstrijd voor de nieuwe Euro biljetten. Mevrouw Lagarde vroeg mij dit bekend te stellen. Dat doet ik graag. En meteen twee suggesties: Johan Cruijff (de beste aller tijden) en Aletta Jacobs (de eerste en slimste) @Minister_FIN

De Amerikaanse aankondiging van 30% importtarieven op producten uit de Europese Unie, is zorgelijk en niet de weg vooruit. De Europese Commissie kan rekenen op onze volledige steun; we moeten ons als EU eensgezind en vastberaden blijven inzetten voor handelsafspraken met de…
You should stop spreading false information. A Russian BUK missile downed MH17. It was transported from the 53rd anti-aircraft missile brigade based in Kursk (Russia). You can read everything herewith⬇️ prosecutionservice.nl/topics/mh17-pl…
The judgment today of the European Court of Human Rights is crystal clear: Russia is responsible for the downing of flight #MH17 in 2014 and for the deaths of everyone on board, including 196 Dutch nationals. This is an important step on the road to justice.
🇵🇱🇳🇱 Poland is a friend, an ally, and a leader in defence within NATO and the EU. Today, the Netherlands and Poland signed a defence pact. This means more joint training, stronger air defence, and closer defence-industry ties between our two countries for a safer Europe.
The security of Central Europe is our security. As of 1st September F35 fighter jets from the Netherlands Royal Air Force will be patrolling and securing the Polish airspace. @AgnieszkaBartol #WeAreNato defensie.nl/actueel/nieuws…
Our Dutch intelligence agencies reveal Russia is intensifying its use of chemical weapons in Ukraine. It is normalized and widespread. Chloropicrin is dropped by drones to drive soldiers out of trenches, and then kill them. Horrible and unacceptable english.defensie.nl/latest/news/20…
Het was een plezier om vanavond de Brusselse alumni van de Rijksuniversiteit @groningen te ontvangen. Een bijzonder netwerk, in het belang van Noord-Nederland en Europa. Er gaat niets boven Groningen @renepaas
