Many humanitarian crises risk being forgotten. But the EU does not forget.

We propose steps to strengthen the EU’s global aid to help meet the rising humanitarian needs worsened by the #COVID19 crisis.

More: europa.eu/!mU68Cu #EUsolidarity
The EU’s global responsibility as a humanitarian actor has never been more important.

We propose to:
◾ Expand the EU's resource base
◾ Champion respect for International humanitarian law
◾ Address root causes of crises

#EUsolidarity
Europeans support EU humanitarian action.

A new @EurobarometerEU survey shows 9 in 10 Europeans have positive views on EU-funded humanitarian aid activities.

See the full results: europa.eu/!vU77Kc #EUsolidarity
The EU is the leading global humanitarian aid donor.

We boost our humanitarian aid budget for 2021 to €1.4 billion - 60% more than adopted last year.

More on the new action: europa.eu/!mU68Cu #EUsolidarity
When disasters strike, the EU is there to help. And Europeans get behind this!

Look at the main takeaways from the latest @EurobarometerEU survey on EU humanitarian aid ↓ #EUsolidarity @eu_echo

Next week we will present a proposal for digital green certificates.

This digital proof that a person:
has been vaccinated against COVID-19
or has recovered from COVID-19
or has a negative test result

will facilitate safe free movement of citizens in the EU.
To have digital green certificates in place by summer, we will work closely with EU countries to:

✅ Identify technical solutions that can be deployed rapidly
🔍 Ensure that the authenticity of certificates can be checked securely throughout the EU
🔁 Enable mutual recognition
Digital green certificates will meet data protection, security and privacy requirements.

They should be set up on the basis of the interoperability guidelines and the common data set for test results, on which EU countries have agreed already.

The #coronavirus pandemic represents a major shock for the global and EU economies.
Our collective recovery will depend on continued strong and coordinated responses at EU and national level.
We are #StrongerTogether.

More about the Spring #ECForecast → europa.eu/!DR48dq
Despite the swift and comprehensive policy response at both EU and national level, the EU economy will experience a recession of historic proportions this year.

The EU economy is forecast to contract by 7½% in 2020 and grow by around 6% in 2021. #ECForecast
The continued effectiveness of EU and national policy measures to respond to the crisis will be crucial to limit the economic damage and facilitate a swift, robust recovery to set the economies on the path of sustainable and inclusive growth. #ECForecast

We want the same opportunities for all who share the same aspirations – whether it is at home, at work or in decision-making.

Women in Europe must be free from violence and harmful stereotypes. ✋
We call for legal measures to criminalise violence against women, including sexual harassment, abuse, and female genital mutilation.
Platforms should address online violence against women.

Let women thrive at work and get an innovative and competitive EU economy. 💼
