Fascinating discussion on a very important topic: #public #procurement reform in the European Parliament in Strasburg. Report by Piotr Muller. EU Industry Commissioner Stéphane Séjourne in attendance.

Check out the full room on the picture below 👇. Extremely disappointing.

Trump administration focusing on the most pressing issue this decade.

🤡🤦‍♂️

Trump's two Treasury Secretaries don't seem like the guys who understand what every day life feels like for most of the people.

Its difficult to understand what type of evidence in a case like this can "disappear". The charges seem fact-related and these facts can be proven. The drop in trade is clear from trade stats, but question is of why trade dropped and how EC sought to prove it was retaliation.

The Greens' Terry Reintke:

"We have to step up our military support for Ukraine. Ukraine urgently needs credible security guarantees. And also, the EU has to be able to defend itself and must become independent from dictators in terms of energy supply."

S&D's Iratxe Garcia Perex @iratxegarper.bsky.social

"The Ukrainian people don't need applause nor do they need kind words about their courage and resistance. [...] Ukraine needs arms because wars are not won by the power of words. Wars are won with munitions, tanks, fighter jets and air defense."

EPP's Weber in EU Parliament in today's discussion on Ukraine: "Russia will not change. Russia will continue to be an imperialistic power, a security threat to all Europeans. That's why we need a long-lasting security architecture and For us as EPP, it is clear: Ukraine must become member of NATO"

So this is how abandoning Russian gas is working out for Austria... 😏
