The Greens/EFA Group has formally decided to support Ursula @vonderleyen as @EU_Commission President.
As part of the 4-party majority, we have secured commitments on the #EUGreenDeal, making the EU more socially fair & protecting democracy.
We keep the far-right out of power.

European Parliament's top jobs were up for grabs last night, as each political group alternately picked the committee they want to chair starting from the biggest delegation and strictly applying the d’Hondt mathematical formula.
Here's what happened and who got what:

⚠️Huge power loss for the Commission's DG SANTE in the latest draft of the policy field's reshuffle within the next EU Executive as the service might lose its coordinating role on NGTs, animal welfare, animal/plant health to DG AGRI and even food safety (that's big) to DG JUST

🚨The coalition @vonderleyen is relying on to get re-elected is getting extremely tight, as it's just dipped sub-400 for the first time.
EPP 188
S&D 136
Renew 74
= 398
Meaning @vonderleyen can only afford to lose 37 votes or she's doomed.

Do the ongoing negotiations for an international pandemic treaty indicate a loss of momentum for global equity and cooperation on pandemics?
@MedmuseLieve, @bradydanielle23 and I wrote about this earlier this year for @epc_eu: epc.eu/en/Publications/Globa…–

This could save your life.
If there’s anything unusual going on with you, talk to your doctor. Pain, a cough, discomfort, anything… please have it checked.
I thought I had a slipped disc, it turned out to be cancer.
Finding it early saved my life.

Noticed something unusual for you? Speak to your doctor if you notice anything that isn’t normal for you, or changes in your body which haven't gone away.
Let's make an impact — retweet to spread awareness 🔁

Two months after the approval of the first @Europarl_EN Mental Health report, we renew our commitment to this cause. Together with @wellcometrust, we organized a debate where we reflected on the achievements, the current situation and expectations for EU mental health approach.
