What happens in Ukraine will shape the future of our Union forever. People of Ukraine are carrying this heavy burden on their shoulders for all of us and paying the ultimate price every day for that. They have made their European choice and we have made our Ukrainian choice. Just like we made our choice 20 years ago when we welcomed so many countries back home to our Union. It led to one of the great European success stories. And the decisions we will take in the next days, weeks and months will decide who wins the future of Europe. So together, let us stay united. Let us stay strong with Ukraine. And let us stay ambitious on enlargement and reform. 🖌️ Drawing by Costel Patrascan #StandWithUkraine #EuropeanUnion

Twenty years ago, our European family grew 🇪🇺🎉 On 1 May 2004, citizens of 🇨🇾 Cyprus, 🇨🇿 Czech Republic, 🇪🇪 Estonia, 🇭🇺 Hungary, 🇱🇻 Latvia, 🇱🇹 Lithuania, 🇲🇹 Malta, 🇵🇱 Poland, 🇸🇰 Slovakia, 🇸🇮 Slovenia became EU citizens. Since then, two more enlargements have taken place, solidifying our European unity. The EU is now the world's largest integrated market, boosting trade and economic growth for its countries, while also offering citizens rights and opportunities aligned with shared European values. Enlargement is a success story. The EU is stronger today because of the inclusion of new countries, and each country is better off thanks to EU membership.

"The flames of bonfires lit up the night in the Baltic states. A thousand fireworks coloured the sea around Malta and Cyprus, and the lakes of Slovenia. And the Ode to Joy resonated in the cities of Central and Eastern Europe. It wasn’t just the birth of a larger Union, it was the birth of a new era." — Speech by President Von Der Leyen at the EP Plenary marking #20YearsTogether More info → https://europa.eu/!HC9Y7Q

Health professionals have their very own way of writing. Luckily, we have an entire department for translation! This week, we launched the Critical Medicine Alliance, which gathers national authorities, companies or organisations as industry representatives, and non-governmental organisations. Its goal is to address and avoid shortages of critical medicines by enhancing the security of supply and reducing EU supply chain dependencies. The EuropeanParliament has also adopted two important files connected to health. These measures aim to: 🔸establishing a European Health Data Space to give citizens immediate and simple access to their digital health data from anywhere in the EU; 🔹 increasing the safety and quality of substances of human origin, such as blood transfusions and bone marrow transplants. These are all stepping stones towards a stronger European #HealthUnion Learn more about the Alliance ➡ #EUdelivers #EuropeanUnion

No matter who you are, no matter where you’re from. → Equal work deserves equal pay. And equal pay needs transparency One year ago, the EU Pay Transparency Directive was approved, bringing us a step closer to equality. This is particularly important for women, who still earn less than men for the same work. The new rules will help end pay discrimination by ensuring: 🔸 Pay transparency for jobseekers 🔸 Right to information for employees 🔸 Reporting on gender pay gap 🔸 Joint pay assessment We want to empower job seekers and workers with tools to demand a fair salary and to know and claim their rights.

Ukraine is carrying a heavy burden on its shoulders for all of us. Today, we are disbursing an additional €1.5 billion under the €50 billion Ukraine Facility. This is vital to keep Ukraine's state and services running, while it fights back the aggressor. Total EU support to Ukraine and its people since February 2022 now amounts to €98.5 billion. Europe remains united and resolute. #StandWithUkraine
