Good morning from Florence 🇮🇹!

Europeans from all 27 countries are meeting to discuss further:

👩🏿‍🤝‍👩🏻 strengthening rights, non-discrimination values
⚖️ protecting democracy, the rule of law
️ 🗣️ stronger citizens’ participation

How did it all start? 👇 #TheFutureIsYours
Four Panels, each consisting of 200 Europeans, are meeting three times to jointly discuss and design Europe's future.

They were selected randomly to reflect our diversity in geographic origin, gender, age, socioeconomic background and education.

What topics do they discuss? 👇
Each panel covers a diverse set of topics, and people together agree on the direction of their discussions.

They identify critical issues for Europe’s future and propose their ideas for solutions.

What will be the impact of their ideas? 👇
Representatives from each Panel will present the outcome of their discussions at the Plenary session, where the debate will continue.

Together they will formulate recommendations for the 🇪🇺 Union to follow up.

How can you have your say? 👇
The first step is registering on the platform available in all 24 EU languages.

Once you log in, it's time to join the discussion.

Submit your ideas, comment, endorse other people's views or suggest your visions for Europe's future: futureu.europa.eu

New year, new milestones!

2024 is bringing us many exciting anniversaries of EU history.

These milestones laid the foundations for the EU as we know it today ↓

⚖️ 60 years since Costa v ENEL case

In 1964, the European Court of Justice established the primacy of EU law over national laws.

The principle of the primacy of EU law has developed over time and is now a declaration annexed to the Treaty of Lisbon

🏞️50 years since the launch of the European Regional Development Fund

It was created in 1975, laying the foundations for today’s EU regional policy and aiming to strengthen economic and social cohesion in the EU by correcting imbalances between its regions.

Dive back in time with this read made for its 10th anniversary in 1985:

We welcome today's agreement by the @EUCouncil to adopt a new package of sanctions against Russia.

The new sanctions include these key elements:

🔹 additional listings
🔹 trade measures, including on Russian diamonds
🔹 stricter asset freeze obligations
🔹 energy measures
🔹 stronger anti-circumvention measures

#StandWithUkraine

Over 140 additional individuals and entities have been added to our list of persons subject to a freezing of their assets.

The list of newly designated legal persons covers, among others, actors in the Russian military and defence, including military industry companies.

#StandWithUkraineCard on individual listings of people and entities with the text: - Over 140 additional individuals and entities have been sanctioned. - The list targets those who have orchestrated the recent illegal so-called “elections” in the territories of Ukraine, or those responsible for the forced “re-education” of Ukrainian children.
The new sanctions on Russian diamonds are part of a coordinated G7 effort to introduce an internationally coordinated diamond ban.

It aims at depriving Russia of this important revenue stream estimated at €4 billion per year.

#StandWithUkraine Card on import ban on Russian diamonds with the text: - Import restrictions on non-industrial diamonds mined, processed, or produced in Russia, aiming to deprive Russia of this important revenue stream estimated at €4 billion per year.

Completing our Union is the natural horizon.

Europe is delivering on its promises made to citizens to lead the way on climate action.

Our legislation to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 is now in place.

What will guide our way until 2030 to build a greener EU? Here is a brief summary ↓
→ ETS reform

Carbon pricing and an annual emissions cap will ensure that polluters pay and that EU countries generate revenues they can invest in the green transition. A text-based visual making emphasis that the green transition will be fair. It includes the text: "A fair transition, based on European solidarity. Through Emissions trading, we can raise revenues to address: -Energy poverty and mobility changes -Sput economic growth and create employment"
→ ETS for buldings and road transport fuels

A separate Emissions Trading Scheme for fuels in road transport and buildings, to ensure emissions reductions in sectors hard to decarbonise. A text-based visual making emphasis on making the EU climate neutral by 2050. It includes the text: "The transport sector has the lowest share of renewable energy use: 55% reduction of emissions from cars by 2030 50% reduction of emissions from vans by 2030".

Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority.

And Europe should lead the way, building a new global AI framework built on three pillars: guardrails, governance and guiding innovation ↓ President von der Leyen addressing the European Parliament and standing in the hemicycle.
Guardrails
We put forward the AI Act – the world's first comprehensive pro-innovation AI law.

Our AI Act is already a blueprint for the whole world.

We must now focus on adopting the rules as soon as possible and turn to implementation ↓
Governance
We should join forces with our partners to ensure a global approach to understanding the impact of AI in our societies.

We need a body for AI – providing the latest science to policymakers.

This will allow us to develop a fast and globally coordinated response ↓
