We made great progress in our fight against #COVID19.

This week over 300 million doses will have been delivered in the 🇪🇺.

We are on track to have enough doses delivered to vaccinate 70% of the adult population by end of July. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

We must now focus on consolidating this progress by vaccinating minors and tracking variants

By mid-June @ECDC_EU will have a global monitoring in place with variant maps.

This will help us stay one-step ahead of the virus and adapt our strategies quickly.

Last week's agreement on the EU Digital COVID Certificate was a major milestone.

The IT infrastructure will be ready at EU level as of 1st June

Now Member States have to ensure that national systems are fed with citizens’ health status data so certificates can be issued.

Today, we continued discussing how to achieve our 🇪🇺 climate goals.

The @EU_Commission will soon present the #Fitfor55 package.

12 proposals combining carbon pricing, targets and standards to:
• Reduce emissions
• Drive green innovation
• Foster the investments needed

I’m confident we can build an economy that is both clean and prosperous.

I listened to Member States’ views on how to do this fairly and effectively.

Our goals are clear and fixed in the Climate Law. We will help 🇪🇺 countries to reach them.
