Investing in care is an investment in gender equality and social fairness.

Today, we present the European Care Strategy to ensure quality and accessible care across 🇪🇺.

It will positively impact millions of children, older people and those who cares for them.

#EUCareStrategy

We propose that EU countries revise ‘the Barcelona targets’ on early childhood education and care.

Investing in high-quality care means improving gender equality and enhancing women’s participation in the labour market.

#EUCareStrategy

With an ageing population, people in need of long-term care are expected to increase by 23.5% in 2050.

To tackle future challenges, we recommend EU countries to draw up action plans to make care more available, accessible and of better quality for all.

Moscow must continue to pay a high price for its aggression.

Since February, the EU has imposed hard-hitting sanctions against the Kremlin, with the aim of halting reckless and inhumane invasion of Ukraine.

State of play on sanctions ↓

#StandWithUkraine

The sanctions target the political, military and economic elite responsible for the invasion or actions which undermine the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine.

#StandWithUkraine

The sanctions are inflicting severe consequences on Russia for its actions and are thwarting its ability to finance war and continue the aggression.

🦗🐛 Whether a snack or a food ingredient, did you know there are currently three insects authorised in the EU 'novel food'?

‘House cricket’, ‘yellow mealworm’ and ‘migratory locus’ are the three types of insects authorised as ‘novel food’ in the EU market. 👇

@FAO

The @FAO indicates that insects are a highly nutritious and healthy food source.

Insects contain high fat, protein, vitamin, fibre, and mineral content, and can facilitate the shift towards healthy and sustainable diets. 👇

Eating insects is safe.

Novel Food can only be authorised if it does not pose any risk to human health. It must undergo a scientific assessment prior to authorisation to ensure its safety. 👇

We are currently experiencing the greatest global food security crisis of our time, triggered by Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.

The European Union is mobilising support, at the European and global level, to address it.

#FoodSecurity

Europe is showing solidarity with vulnerable populations around the globe, providing support to countries that are heavily dependent on food imports.

#FoodSecurity

We are stepping up our own production to ease pressure on food markets – so EU farmers will contribute to global food security.

And we are working with partner countries to increase their own food production and become more resilient.

EU leaders agreed in Versailles to phase out our dependency on Russian fossil fuels as soon as possible.

But this requires a plan: This is #REPowerEU.

It has 4 pillars:
✅Saving energy
✅Diversifying away from 🇷🇺 fossil fuels
✅Massive investment in renewable energy
✅Financing

Small changes in our energy usage can also have a positive impact.

When paired with efficiency measures, they can impact prices and reduce our energy bills.

With the #REPowerEU Plan, we are also stepping up our emergency preparedness.

We are diversifying away from Russia for our energy needs.

With the EU Energy Platform, EU countries will be able to jointly purchase gas, LNG and hydrogen, to the benefit of all countries.

This will help secure our energy supply at affordable prices.
