Offline, online, let's not be quiet. Happy #internationalwomensday to all #women ❤️

Thank you my dear friend 🙏🏼

A solid team to take Europe forward on its path towards prosperity and social fairness 💪 I wish all Commissioners the best in this new, decisive mandate.

Our AI office and 9 partner AI safety institutes pool expertise to ensure AI systems are safe and trustworthy for us all. This shows the results of continuous cooperation with our partners and my colleague @GinaRaimondo. Very important to continue this great initiative.

We welcome the creation of the European Cloud Competition Observatory by @cispe_cloud, as part of the settlement agreement with @Microsoft. 👉ECCO will help to limit unfair licensing practices in the cloud market. That means more affordable choice for all 🇪🇺 cloud customers.

The EU & Singapore strengthen collaboration on AI safety with a new Administrative Arrangement (AA) that: 📍Fosters AI safety research; 📍Promotes innovation, development & responsible use of AI; 📍Shares best practices for advancing human-centric AI systems. The AA, which strengthens existing EU-SG digital partnership, was exchanged today during a bilateral meeting between EVP @vestager & Minister @joteo_ylm 🇪🇺🤝🇸🇬 🔗 ec.europa.eu/commission/pres…

For AI to thrive in our societies we need to ensure safe and trustworthy systems. Happy that we have now jointly signed cooperation between the European 🇪🇺 AI Office and the Singapore 🇸🇬 AI Safety Institute. Also very happy with the warm welcome by @joteo_ylm

Today we approve funding for 5 projects that will address defence capability gaps in 🇪🇺 & increase support to 🇺🇦 with additional defence equipment. This is the 1st time we use EU budget to support Member States in commonly procuring defence products 💪 shorturl.at/m4Xuk

Posting of workers is part of the single market. Our proposed e-declaration portal will help e.g: 👉reduce businesses’ admin burden 👉 facilitate their compliance with existing rules 👉make it easier for labour inspectors to enforce rules 🗞️shorturl.at/U7j7y

These days more than ever, we must stay loyal to the 🇪🇺 model, which is to create prosperity & use that to create social welfare for people. Vivid competition to drive competitiveness. If we give that up now, it is certain we will lose in the long run. @FriendsofEurope

📍ENTRETIEN EXCLUSIF. La commissaire à la Concurrence Margrethe Vestager (@vestager) a affronté pendant dix ans les plus grosses firmes du monde. Elle tire sa révérence en décembre. Son interview sonne comme un testament politique. ➡️ l.lepoint.fr/ATG Par @Eberretta

📢update! Today we open a formal investigation to assess whether @temu may have breached the Digital Services Act. We will check (e.g.): 👉whether TEMU did enough to prevent the presence of illegal traders 👉the risks of addictive design of the service shorturl.at/0GvIj

In Paris @Concurrences conference, I got the question: “do you regret Siemens/Alstom?” In short: non, je ne regrette rien 😊 An “au revoir” but not an “adieu” to the very competent, caring competition community that I had a pleasure to work with👋

📢Today, we concluded negotiations on the future competition cooperation agreement between 🇪🇺 & 🇬🇧! 👉It will allow enforcers from @EU_Commission, EU national competition authorities & @CMAgovUK to cooperate directly in competition investigations - to the benefit of citizens.

The book is out since Wednesday / bogen kom ud i onsdags 😊😊

Flashback Friday😉 👉 Last week @EP_Taxation we discussed the aftermaths of the @apple case win. 📣 We achieved important changes towards more fiscal justice over the last 10 years, thanks to the combination of 📍state aid enforcement 📍action at EU, @oecd & national levels

Today @G7: 👉we adopted concrete guidance for the development, deployment and use of safe & trustworthy AI in the public sector 👉 we agreed next steps on the AI Hiroshima code of conduct reporting framework
