Today is the handover of the baton in the EU: 🇵🇱 ➡️ 🇩🇰
Thank you, #Poland, for your commitment in turbulent times!
All the best, #Denmark, for your Presidency - we look forward to working together. @eu2025dk.bsky.social #EU2025 #TeamEurope

🇩🇪 Minister of State for Europe Krichbaum @diplo.de at today’s #GAC in 🇱🇺: Just before the 🇪🇺 Council & today's NATO Summit security and European defence capabilities are high on our agenda. It is key that we support 🇺🇦 also in the long term.

🇩🇪 Minister of Justice Hubig at today’s 🇪🇺 #JHA: Rule of law & independent judiciary are coming under pressure. I am glad we are discussing the 🇪🇺 accession to the ECHR. The ECHR is a great achievement for Human Rights that should be agreed upon for all 🇪🇺 people.

Getting ready to kick off the yearly 🇪🇺 Ambassadors‘ Conference of Head of Missions in #EU Member States. Looking forward to two days of in-depth discussions on how to best use Europe‘s strengths in advancing security, freedom and prosperity for our continent! @diplo.de #EUBoKo

🇩🇪 Minister for Research, Technology and Space Dorothee Bär ahead of #COMPET: “The decision of the 🇺🇸 Government to stop accepting int’l students at Harvard is fatal. That is not a positive signal, neither for the young generation nor for the free world. I sincerely hope this decision is reversed.” 👇🏼

Russia has launched the worst attacks so far on Ukraine over the last days, says 🇩🇪 Minister of Agriculture Alois Rainer, @bmleh.de ahead of today’s 🇪🇺 Council #AGRIFISH. I express my deepest sympathy to the 🇺🇦 people and will meet the 🇺🇦 Minister of Agriculture later.

🇩🇪 State Minister for Europe Gunther Krichbaum @diplo.de ahead of the 🇪🇺 #GAC: Without freedom of expression there is no freedom of the press, and without freedom of the press there is no democracy. We are talking about the core European principles that hold us together.

🇩🇪 Minister Schnieder @bmv-bund.bsky.social ahead of 🇪🇺 #TTE Council: “Sceptical on shortening TÜV inspection intervals for older vehicles. We want less #bureaucracy and lower costs for citizens.”

Multilateralism as we know it is called into question everywhere, says 🇩🇪 Minister @reemalabali.bsky.social @bmz.de ahead of today’s 🇪🇺 #FAC (Development). We as the EU must work even closer together, not only on foreign and security policy, but also concerning our development policy.

🇩🇪 Minister Reiche in Brussels ahead of #COMPET : today, we are taking an important step forward on the eDeclaration. Thereby, workers can move across borders, companies can offer their services transboundary. This is an important step towards strengthening our 🇪🇺 single market. @bmwe-bund.bsky.social

Whilst we acknowledge indications of a limited restart of aid, Israel blocked humanitarian aid entering #Gaza for over two months. Food, medicines & essential supplies are exhausted. The population faces starvation. 👉 Full statement on the need for aid: diplo.de/2718780

As 🇪🇺 & 🇺🇸 we have more in common than separates us, says Minister Reiche @bmwe-bund.bsky.social. Trade conflicts are damaging and in the end they know no winner. That is why we support the European Commission in the talks to resolve this trade conflict and to find a reasonable solution. #FAC

We want to put 🇪🇺 on course for growth, says Minister @larsklingbeil in Brussels. We will carry out structural reforms, reduce energy prices, cut bureaucracy & secure jobs. We want to take cooperation with our 🇪🇺 partners to the next level. #Eurogroup #ECOFIN

Yesterday was the 🇪🇺 #OpenDay.
It was a pleasure hosting the 🇩🇪 booth with Saarland. Visitors enjoyed our dialect guessing game, testing their language skills with Saarland specific words.
Thank you to @eucouncil, all the helpers, and to everyone who stopped by. We look forward to the next #Europeday!

Gestern war der 🇪🇺 #OpenDay. Ein Highlight an unserem 🇩🇪 Stand mit dem Saarland war unser Dialekt-Ratespiel, bei dem Besucher saarländische Wörter erraten konnten.

Danke an @eucouncil, an alle Helferinnen und Helfer sowie an alle, die vorbeigekommen sind. Wir freuen uns auf den nächsten #Europeday!

The attack on #Sumy shows: The Russian president wants to destroy Ukraine. If you want peace, you have to protect & support Ukraine. Only joint strength ensures peace. The broader the support worldwide, the more likely a path to peace in Europe. @abaerbock.diplo.de #FAC

It is now important to act in a calm, prudent but also clear and decisive manner. Strength comes from unity. Europe also needs to engage with other countries in a united way and encourage further trade agreements.

After more than three months, we see light and shadow in #Syria. Today, with the IX Brussels #SyriaConference, we will once again make it clear: We stand together for a free and peaceful Syria.
This requires an inclusive political process. @abaerbock.diplo.de 1/3

The horrific crimes against hundreds of civilians must be investigated & those responsible must be held accountable. The transitional government must ensure it has control over the actors in its security apparatus. @abaerbock.diplo.de 2/3
