Russia’s aggression against Ukraine is causing challenges that we can only overcome in unity.
With our 2023 work programme, we want to build a Union that stands firm and united.
This year, we will turn our priorities into action by focusing on these initiatives ↓
🔵 European Green Deal
The EU will further accelerate its energy transition, strengthen sustainable food and transport, and tackle food and textile waste while building healthier ecosystems.
Additional export restrictions have been introduced which aim to reduce Russia’s access to military, industrial and technological items, as well as its ability to develop its defence and security sector.
The State of the Union address sets out our agenda for Europe.
During #SOTEU 2021, President @vonderleyen outlined many initiatives relevant for Europeans.
What progress have we made on the initiatives since then? A thread 👇
🟢 European Chips Act
Without chips, there’s no digital transition, no green transition.
Our objectives are high: doubling our global market share by 2030 to 20%, and producing the most sophisticated and energy-efficient semiconductors in Europe. #EUChipsAct
It stands for sustainable and trusted connections that work for people and the planet.
We will support smart investments in quality infrastructure, respecting the highest social and environmental standards globally and build partnerships of equals.
Europeans continue to strongly support the EU's response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the EU's energy actions.
The new #Eurobarometer survey released today also shows how Europeans feel about the European Union, the economy, COVID-19 and what their concerns are.
