Good first day at the annual #SpringMeetings in Washington DC 🇺🇸.

Here to discuss climate finance with international partners. We need more diverse and innovative investments to reach our climate goals.

I look forward to discussing some key issues for young voters at Studio Europa Maastricht debate on 29 April in Maastricht

A Europe that provides opportunities for all.

That promotes our core values of democracy and equality.

That can defend itself.

Our Europe.

I hope you can tune in.

The Netherlands 🇳🇱 has both contributed and benefited from European integration since the very beginning as one of its founding members.

Since 1989, €6,287 billion from #CohesionPolicy has supported the Dutch economy & businesses and helped shape regional innovation policy.

I welcome the political agreement on our ambitious reform of the EU's economic governance.

For a competitive and fair EU economy.

The new rules will enable EU countries to invest in their strengths while consolidating their public finances.

This is our common growth path.

This morning's deal on effective economic governance is about empowering the next generation.

It shows our determination to balance the books, give credibility to markets and invest in our future.

Thank you Esther de Lange, Margarida Marques MEP and European Parliament team.

We have a deal! A new economic governance framework was much needed. We have ensured that the new fiscal rules are sound and credible, while also allowing room for necessary investments.

Step by step. Word by word, positions are converging. A delicate equilibrium that both colegislators want to define and uphold. Vincent Van Peteghem Gaby Bischoff 🇪🇺 Esther de Lange Margarida Marques MEP Willem van de Voorde #economicgovernance ECON Committee Press EMPL Committee Press

Nobody is working for austerity here. It is about fairer budgetary rules than the old one-size-fits-all approach. We want to ensure room for investments AND make sure future generations are not burdened with untenable levels of debt. The future needs both

Dear Republican Senators of America. Ronald Reagan, who helped millions of us to win back our freedom and independence, must be turning in his grave today. Shame on you.

Another day, another trilogue. Revision of the economic governance rules. Step by step closer to a deal with Irene Tinagli Margarida Marques MEP Esther de Lange ? Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU 2024
