When it comes to #GlobalGateway investments in infrastructure, our top priority is energy.

#TeamEurope will support Africa by:
🔷 increasing renewable energy capacity,
🔷 better access to reliable energy,
🔷 promoting sustainable energy use.

#AfricaEU
🟢 Investing in infrastructure.

#TeamEurope will provide funding and support for ongoing projects, electricity interconnections & transmission lines across countries, setting up the Africa Single Electricity Market.

#AfricaEU #GlobalGateway
🟢 Partnerships with countries championing energy transition.

The objective is to decarbonise the energy mix, including by phasing out coal, optimising the share of transitional sources of energy and investing in renewable energies as well as energy efficiency.

#AfricaEU
🟢 Renewable hydrogen production for sustainable growth and development.

#TeamEurope will work with partner countries to help develop their renewable hydrogen production.

North Africa is a potential supplier to the EU due to its geographic proximity.

#GlobalGateway
The transition from the status quo today to a world where we have renewable energy is a huge challenge, – but together, we can make the difference.

The #AfricaEU Green Energy Initiative will help us get there.

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

europa.eu/!gKxCpROn blue and yellow background representing the Ukrainian flag, the text: "New package of EU sanctions on Russia - 12th package"
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.

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".
