🧵1/5 Let’s put things straight about the Nature Restoration Law: Restoration gives Nature a chance to be the vital force we need for our future & economies. This law responds to science’s alarming calls, seen in @IPCC 's latest report, & peoples' demands to bring Nature back.

At our last #EPlenary we debated the recent discussions on the future of the #EUGreenDeal & overall climate & environment policies. My message is clear. The Green Deal always was & remains our growth strategy to ensure our industry’s competitiveness & our energy independence.

Historic @Europarl_EN vote today! I applaud the positive vote & full support for the EU ratification of the High Seas Treaty #BBNJ aiming to protect 30% of the world’s oceans by 2030. Now we must bring along all international counterparts to ratify it as fast as possible!

Positive @Europarl_EN vote on our proposal for a Packaging & Packaging Waste Law! We have a balanced set of measures that will contribute significantly to reducing packaging waste, will promote circularity & will harmonise the conditions for placing packaging on the EU market.

Our ambition is to phase out the most harmful chemicals. Yet some of their uses are still essential for society & to help us deliver the green & digital transition. We have new guidance on criteria for defining which of them are actually essential.

A great honour to visit with @PrimeministerGR Kyriakos Mitsotakis the “Typhoon” vessel by the Athanasios C. Laskaridis Charitable Foundation, that cleans up Greece’s shores. These are the real actions “Our Ocean”needs. Time to step up globally.

At “Our Ocean” conference in Athens today. I am proud to announce a budget of EUR 3,5 billion, the biggest amount ever announced by the EU 🇪🇺 since the start of “Our Ocean” conferences, & 40 new commitments. Our oceans ring the alarm & we take full responsibility.

Iran must cease immediately its unjustified & blatant attacks against Israel. These acts of terror only add to the destabilization of the region, threatening millions of innocent people. Crucial to stop the further escalation of the situation now.

As the @EU_Commission term draws to a close, we look back on 5 transformative years. Despite challenges, we revamped our energy policy & steadfastly backed Ukraine with political, financial, & humanitarian aid. This journey is our commitment to European security and values.

The energy transition isn't just about technology; it's about political choices. As we move towards renewables, let's not swap reliance on Russian gas for dependency on raw materials from China. Strategic autonomy and circularity are essential for independent energy future.

Just wrapped up my journey in Uganda, my final African destination for now. Thrilled to announce the launch of €40M projects under the Forest Partnership with President @KagutaMuseveni & key ministers. The EU continues to be a strong supporter of Uganda’s vital coffee sector.

Today we celebrate 45 years of one of the cornerstones of 🇪🇺 environmental legislations. The Birds Directive. It protects all naturally occuring wild bird species in the European Union & allows them to recover & thrive over the long-term.

The vote at #ENV @EU_Council on Nature Restoration Law was regrettably not sealed today as it should have. Yet I am optimistic & I believe the Member States can bring it over the finish line. It’s the only way forward to meet our international & climate targets.

In the past difficult years, we have maximised our support to the 🇪🇺 fisheries sector. But nothing would have been achieved without our fishers & aquaculture farmers. I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart for their commendable efforts. #AGRIFISH
