Our energy destiny is firmly in our hands.
We’ve reached 90% gas storage capacity for the winter – well ahead of the November 1 deadline for the second consecutive year.
This additional reserve is crucial for mitigating the risks of unexpected demand spikes or supply disruptions.
As we keep ensuring the security of supply, we continue working on lasting solutions, including accelerating renewable energy deployment and energy efficiency measures.

AI is becoming a game-changer for businesses of all sizes and sectors.
In fact, in 2023, 8% of EU companies have already adopted AI technologies, with top-performing countries being:
🇩🇰 15,2%
🇫🇮 15,1%
🇱🇺 14,4%.
What's most exciting is that we're going to give SMEs and startups access to AI factories in the #EU and dedicated AI supercomputers, so they can use AI and stay competitive on a global scale.
AI factories are expected to be deployed in 2025.

A little hint: it’s part of an archipelago with five main islands in the Mediterranean.
Roughly 8 million tonnes of plastics go yearly into the sea, a large amount of which is fishing gear. Much of it is made of modern plastics that can last up to 600 years in the ocean.
By 2030 ➡️ the EU is expected to reduce the plastic waste in our oceans by 50% and microplastics by 30% thanks to our Zero Pollution Action Plan.

Connecting EU cities, one railway at a time. 🚉
Our #CohesionPolicy has been the bonding agent to help reduce the social and economic disparities in our Union – making it stronger and fairer for every citizen.
Among others, it has supported building transport infrastructure in urban areas, home to over two-thirds of the EU's population.
For example, it helped the construction of 5.1 km of new or renovated rail track and 5 stations in the metro line 1 in Naples.

For example, it helped restore facades and most of the historical buildings in Cittadella at the heart of the Gozo’s island in Malta. Piazzas and streets were also recreated and repaved, making now the medieval citadel look as new!

🛰️ Satellite data can be used to detect marine litter from space.
Scientists discovered they can use satellites to locate patches of floating litter, also called “windrows”.
By analysing images taken by Copernicus satellites, they found thousands of litter windrows in the Mediterranean Sea, ranging from a few hundred metres to 20 kilometres long.
This can facilitate clean-up operations, making our oceans cleaner.

We just launched the European Solar Academy!
Thanks to our €9 million support, we're on a mission to train 100,000 solar PV supply chain workers over the next three years. Why? Because by 2030, we'll need 66,000 skilled hands in solar PV manufacturing.

🚀☀️ Ready to launch into summer?
Today people across Europe –and beyond!🌠– are celebrating the beginning of summer with #WorldMusicDay.
Thousands of free concerts are taking place and residents are encouraged to play music in public.
👨‍🚀 To mark the event, ESA Astronaut Thomas Pesquet shared his own space music band on Mission Alpha to the International Space Station in 2021.
So, on this fête de la musique, faites de la musique !

Which May was the hottest month on record? The last one.
And April? Again, the last one.
And March? Still the last one.
And the list continues until June 2023, cumulating in a 12-month streak.
This is why EU countries are committed to becoming climate neutral by 2050, aiming to emit no more greenhouse gases than they remove from the atmosphere.
We are leading the way in climate action.

Independence, self-determination, freedom: this is what Ukraine is fighting for.
The international community must stand together to support Ukraine in its pursuit of peace.
During the #UAPeaceSummit, we reaffirmed the primacy of the UN Charter and the need to bring an end to a brutal and unjust war.
We need to support a comprehensive, just, and sustainable peace for Ukraine to restore international peace and security.

🗳️ 10 elections
🗳️ 45 years
🗳️ 1 democracy
In June 1979, citizens from the EEC elected the members of the European Parliament by direct universal suffrage for the first time.
In just a few days, for the tenth time in history, Europeans will head to the polls across our Union for the #EUElections2024.
We should never take democracy for granted. #UseYourVote on 6-9 June.
Ahead of this milestone, let's take a trip down memory lane and revisit some snapshots from past elections! 👇

Stop, stare, and behold. A portrait of European democracy at work 🖼️
The European elections are the largest transnational elections in the world. From Lisbon to Tallinn, from Dublin to Nicosia, millions of Europeans are called to decide the future of our Union.
Democracy is a precious gift passed on to us from previous generations. Now it is up to us to maintain it, to make it stronger and pass it on to the generations to come.
On June 6-9 2024, #UseYourVote or others will decide for you.

Today, we have formally designated Temu as a Very Large Online Platform under the Digital Services Act.
The company will have to comply with the most stringent rules under the DSA by the end of September 2024.
This includes the obligation to duly assess and mitigate any systemic risks stemming from their services, such as the listing and sale of counterfeit goods, unsafe or illegal products, and items that infringe intellectual property rights.
