Today, EU environment ministers agreed their position on a binding 2040 climate target:
🔹 -90% greenhouse gas emissions vs 1990
🔹 a binding path for post-2030 policies to support EU competitiveness and a fair transition

Another step towards climate neutrality by 2050.

The European Council just held an in-depth discussion on how to make sure that Europe’s climate ambitions and the competitiveness of our economy go hand in hand.

We reaffirmed our commitment to the Paris Agreement and stressed that we need to be pragmatic and flexible in our strategy.

Today we are closing an important first cycle in our efforts to build the Europe of Defence.

Since February, we have made major advances on this topic – with new tools and instruments for bolstering Europe’s defence capabilities, following a 360-degree strategy and in full coherence with NATO.

It is a pleasure to have President Zelenskyy join us at a #EUCO which will reaffirm our support to Ukraine—just as a new package of sanctions against Russia was agreed.

Our #EUCO meeting had one core theme: safeguarding the security of our continent.

Europe’s borders will only be secure if all of Europe’s borders are secure, in a 360-degree approach.

Moscow thinks it can keep its war going.
We are making sure it pays the price for it.

Today, we present our 19th sanctions package. Every sanction reduces the Kremlin’s ability to wage war.

We won’t stop putting pressure on Russia until it ends its war.

Transatlantic unity is paramount at this moment to achieve a sustainable peace in Ukraine.

As I underlined during today’s meeting of the Coalition of the Willing, if no ceasefire is agreed, the EU and the US must increase pressure on Russia.

A 30% tariff on EU exports would hurt businesses, consumers and patients on both sides of the Atlantic.

We will continue working towards an agreement by August 1.

At the same time, we are ready to safeguard EU interests on the basis of proportionate countermeasures.

Europe’s security is interlinked with Ukraine’s security.

This is why we continue to push for a just and lasting peace, keeping up the pressure on Russia, while paving the way for Ukraine’s EU membership.
