The EU🇪🇺 will manufacture a lot satellites🛰️. But to deliver, we need more EU launchers 🚀! For EU economy, defence & climate!   I will go on a "Launch Tour" to visit launch, manufacturing, test facilities. And in 2027, I will present an Action Plan on European Access to Space.

Update on the government formation process in #Romania: Following my appointment by the 🇷🇴President on Thursday, 17 September, I started working on the governing programme together with our three coalition partners: the two @EPP member parties, PNL and RMDSZ, and the @RenewEurope member party, USR. We are closely aligning our positions on both the process and the governing programme. Yesterday and today, during official meetings of their parliamentary groups, all three parties confirmed their support for me. Today, I will present the main priorities of our governing programme. By the end of the week, I will present the Cabinet and submit both the programme and the Cabinet to Parliament for approval. I expect the parliamentary hearings to take place on Monday, 28 September, followed by the plenary vote on Tuesday, 29 September.

Strong partnerships make us stronger. In the European Parliament, Canadian PM @MarkJCarney made the case for resilience, sovereignty and freedom: "We are pursuing resilience so no one - no one - can control our open markets, impair our sovereignty, threaten our territorial integrity, or undermine our freedoms, our democracies or our rule of law." Europe and Canada are like-minded partners. Together, we can build greater resilience and defend the values we share. Watch more of his speech 👇🇪🇺🇨🇦

Die @AfD & @Frohnmaier_AfD bestreiten, dass Putin Deutschland bedroht und angreift. Sie tun das, weil sie selbst auf der Seite Putins stehen. Damit verraten sie unser Land, die Sicherheit & die Freiheit des deutschen Volkes - die Dinge, denen wir als Priorität verpflichtet sind.

Dear Daphne, These have been difficult days and hours for many, more so for your loved ones who have been through so much and who were forced to relive all the horror of that black October day.

A letter. A prize. A message of solidarity. For those behind prison walls, knowing they are not forgotten gives hope. Human rights are universal. The EPP Group will always stand with those defending freedom, democracy and dignity. We will never stop supporting those who fight for these values. Watch⤵️ @AndrzejHalicki @iwiseler @poczobut

I thank my party, PNL Romania, and our two partner parties, @USR_oficial and the Party of the Hungarian Minority in Romania, for my nomination as candidate for Prime Minister of Romania. The next step is the formal nomination by the President of Romania, who has to choose between a socialist candidate and myself, as proposed by the @epp and @RenewEurope member parties in #Romania.

In an increasingly uncertain world, safeguarding global security is one of our greatest challenges. The transatlantic alliance remains the cornerstone of our collective security, but Europe must also step up. Building a stronger, more integrated European Defence Union is key to meeting today’s challenges and safeguarding peace. #EPPStudyDays @ZovkoEU @GaelleRPiche @AlexGrayForOK @ReginaDo

The Baltic States have led on investments in defence, energy independence, and support for Ukraine. Europe's security starts here. Today we discuss how to strengthen it.
