Today, we are celebrating 20 years since the great EU enlargement!
On 1 May 2004, the citizens of 🇨🇾 🇨🇿 🇪🇪 🇭🇺 🇱🇻 🇱🇹 🇲🇹 🇵🇱 🇸🇰 🇸🇮 became citizens of the EU.
Over the past two decades, the pace of change across our Union has been remarkable.

The 2004 enlargement was a defining moment for our Union.
One that transformed the societies & economies of new member states.
And made our Union stronger together.
Today, we proudly hoist the flags of these countries.
We unfurl our Union's flag, celebrating #20YearsTogether.

The JRC has been a pillar of support for #nuclear safety & security in the EU for 60 years
As interest in #NuclearEnergy surges, it was great to welcome

Celebrating 60 years of @EU_Commission's Joint Research Centre, @EU_ScienceHub.
As we gather for #NES2024, it’s clear that with nuclear's role expanding, collaboration between @IAEAorg and JRC needs to grow even stronger—and I look forward to deepening our partnership.
