The EU is united and taking action to resolve the situation at the EU’s external borders with Belarus.

Attempts to destabilise the EU by instrumentalising people will not work.

Read more on our new measures below and here → europa.eu/!MjqfUh
1⃣ Intensive external action

Our measures include sanctions against the Lukashenko regime.

#TeamEurope will engage diplomatically with countries of origin and transit of people at the border.

We will counter disinformation and step-up humanitarian help to migrants in Belarus.
2⃣ EU support to Member States

We are providing immediate support to 🇱🇹 and 🇱🇻.

Several EU bodies and instruments will provide help including @frontex @EASO @Europol and #EUCivPro.
3⃣ Blacklisting transport operators

We present rules to blacklist transport operators involved in smuggling or trafficking of people into the EU, putting at risk lives and the security of the Union external borders.
We will never accept the exploitation of human beings for political purposes.

Some Europeans call for more coordinated efforts when it comes to border control and increased support to @Frontex.

They also call for greater solidarity among EU countries.

Today, we have adopted new proposals to:

🏞️ stop deforestation
♻️ innovate waste management
🌍 make soils healthy

These are tools to move to a circular economy, protect nature and climate, and lift environmental standards in the 🇪🇺 and the world.

#EUGreenDeal
From 1990 to 2020 the world has lost 420 m hectares of forest – an area larger than the EU.🌲

Our new rules would guarantee that the products that EU citizens buy and use on the EU market do not contribute to global deforestation and forest degradation.
Under the revised Regulation on waste shipments, we propose:

🚚stronger rules on waste exports
📊more efficient system for the circulation of waste
🖐️action against waste trafficking

Our new rules will boost the circular economy, while not harming the environment and health.

💪 A resilient banking sector for a stronger economy.

🙌 Today, we adopted a review of EU banking rules.
#Basel3 Implementation: Strengthening the resilience of the banking sector across the EU means a more secure economic and financial system.

📑Our new legislative proposals ensure an alignment of the EU rules on capital requirements with international standards.
#COVID19 is a reminder of the importance of having a resilient banking system. The adoption of the #Basel3 framework will help banks continue standing strong in future crises. #SafeSavings

We believe that a safe, sustainable, peaceful and prosperous Arctic is important not just for the Arctic itself, but also for the EU and actually for the whole world.

Today, together with the High Representative @JosepBorrellF, we unveil an updated Arctic policy.

#EUArctic
We will support efforts to reduce black carbon emissions in the Arctic by 33% by 2025 acting against major sources of pollution affecting the Arctic regions.

We are a global leader in the fight against climate change, and we are ready to play our full part.

#EUArctic
Is our commitment to contribute to a peaceful and constructive dialogue and cooperation in a changing geopolitical landscape.

The Arctic must be safe and stable. We will intensify regional cooperation and developing strategic foresight on emerging security challenges.

Today, we are presenting our first-ever EU Strategy on combating antisemitism and fostering Jewish life.

As part of the EU’s work tackling racism and with antisemitism worryingly on the rise, we are determined to put an end to it.

#No2Antisemitism
Every second European considers antisemitism a problem.

We must create an inclusive society based on equality and respect, free from antisemitism and any form of discrimination.

Antisemitism is incompatible with the EU’s core values.

#No2Antisemitism
This new Strategy is articulated around three pillars:

▪️ Preventing and combating all forms of antisemitism.

▪️ Protecting and fostering Jewish life in the EU.

▪️ Education, research and Holocaust remembrance.
