Last but not least: #democracy and #RuleofLaw. The Commission will establish a European Center for Democratic Resilience. This will have different components, including #independent media. Autocrats want people in the dark. The EU should offer more space to the free media. #SOTEU.

In addition to this deal, the European Union will double down on #diversification and #partnerships. Mexico, MERCOSUR, and India. The EU will also establish a coalition of the like-minded countries to reform the global trading system. The EU will lead when it comes to free trade.

According to VdL: #Trade relations with the US are very important. With the deal we secured market access for our industries. A full-fledged trade war with the US would have been worse. The relations need #stability. BUT on environment & digital, Europe decides for itself.

And comes a reference to social #justice: there will be a European anti-poverty strategy. Affordability & cost of living crises are at the heart of social policies.

#Competitiveness is at the heart of our future. The Commission will propose a Single Market Roadmap for 2028, following up on the suggestions of the Letta Report. This is also clearly connected to European tech / green tech. Faster, smarter, and more European.
