A larger Europe is a stronger and safer Europe. As @Europarl_EN has long called for, Member States have given the green light to start EU accession negotiations with Ukraine and Moldova. The opening of the first chapters on democracy, justice and the rule of law underlines both countries' reform efforts and their commitment to European values. All while pushing back against Russia's aggression, threats and intimidation. Enlargement is our strongest geopolitical tool, and Ukraine and Moldova belong in Europe 🇪🇺🇺🇦🇲🇩

MFF: "We reject the Council’s proposal, which is simply not fit for today’s realities. [...] By cutting the Commission's overall proposal by 2%, it effectively suggests that Europe's challenges require less action, not more." @SMuresan @carlatavares_ps 🔗link.europa.eu/cHdxvM

What one country cannot do alone, Europe can do together. That is why Parliament is calling for a stronger EU budget for 2028-2034 and for new revenue sources to help finance it. Learn more: eubudget.europarl.europa.eu/

Timely to welcome @SecGenNATO Mark Rutte to @Europarl_EN on the day we agreed a critical legislation to strengthen cooperation and investment in European defence. Ahead of next month's @NATO Summit, with Parliament's group leaders, we discussed measures to boost defence capabilities and the next steps towards greater responsibility for our security. For a stronger Europe within a stronger transatlantic alliance.

Parliament and Council agreed today on the package of proposals to accelerate defence investment and improve the EU’s responsiveness to security challenges. It is a part of so-called “Omnibus V” EU simplification measures. @EP_SingleMarket @EP_Industry @EP_Environment
