Promised during #SOTEU 2020.
Delivered in 2021.

We are launching the European Health Emergency preparedness and Response Authority (HERA).

It is another building block of a stronger #HealthUnion and a major step forward for our crisis preparedness → europa.eu/!FUVnRV
🌍 Outbreaks of infectious diseases are on the rise.

With HERA, we will be better prepared to anticipate potential health crises & address possible gaps in medical countermeasures.

It will work closely with other EU & national agencies, researchers & industry. #HealthUnion
What happens when an emergency hits?

HERA will ensure critical equipment, medicines, vaccines and other medical countermeasures – such as gloves and masks – are available, when and as necessary.

It can activate emergency measures for research, manufacturing and funding.
To fight the #COVID19 pandemic and future health emergencies, cooperation is the only way forward.

HERA will help us anticipate and manage emergencies, faster and together.

Societies that build on democracy and common values stand on stable ground.

These values are part of our soul, part of what defines us today.

We are determined to defend them. And we will never waver in that determination.

#SOTEU
From 2022, our Rule of Law reports will come with recommendations to EU countries.

The European budget is the future of our Union cast in figures.

When it comes to protecting our budget, we will pursue every case, with everything in our power.

#SOTEU
Freedom also means freedom from fear.

And during the pandemic, too many women were deprived of that freedom.

By the end of year, we will propose a law to combat violence against women.

We stand by the Afghan people.

We must do everything to avert the real risk of a major famine and humanitarian disaster.

This is why we will increase again humanitarian aid for Afghanistan by 100 million euro - part of a new, wider Afghan Support Package.

#SOTEU
We are working with Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg on a new EU-NATO Joint Declaration to be presented before the end of the year.

We need to invest in our joint partnership and to draw on each side’s unique strength.

#SOTEU
From space to police trainers, from open source to development agencies, it is vital that we improve intelligence cooperation.

That’s why the EU could consider its own Joint Situational Awareness Centre.

In the early days of the pandemic, many leaders around the world chose a “my country first” approach.

#NextGenerationEU #SOTEU
From the start of the pandemic, Europe took economic measures laying the foundations of our recovery.

EU countries were able to use the flexibility of State aid rules to support the economy.

In 2020 alone, funds from SURE scheme helped keep 25-30 million people in jobs.

#SOTEU
To finance the recovery, we reached a historic agreement on the largest package ever financed through the EU budget.

It consists of:

🔹 The EU’s long-term budget for 2021 to 2027 (€1.211 trillion) 

🔸 NextGenerationEU (€806.9 billion)
