"At the start of his second mandate, #JacquesDelors said: 'Our community is not merely the fruit of history and necessity, but also of will", Ursula von der Leyen reminds us in her address to the #EuropeanParliament this morning (at 45:42). "This is a fundamental choice that we face."

During her speech, Ursula von der Leyen mentionned number of proposals from the report by our President Enrico Letta We will continue to work on his report, for which completing the integration of the #single_market is a key issue in the face of current & future challenges of the EU 🇪🇺

Glad to see the "European Savings and Investments Union" proposed by Enrico Letta endorsed and taken up in UvdL's Guidelines. The new Commission and an ambitious agenda will be key for this as Sebastian Mack and I have argued👇 delorscentre.eu/en/publication…

There was a collective sigh of relief across the EU when Ursula von der Leyen was re-elected by 401 MEPs, a result well above her 2019 vote. But how did she walk the thin tightrope of aligning the conflicting policy wish lists of political groups to secure the votes she needed?🧵

Thread/ Von der Leyen's reelection promises certain continuity for the unfinished projects of last COM. One case, the anti-subsidy investigation into Chinese EVs. The 'secret' advisory vote on the preliminary tariffs happened on Monday: some insider info and my take below

The next European Commission's plans to usher in a new era for European Defense & Security will heavily depend on the funding allocated in the upcoming Multiannual Financial Framework 2028-2034. In the meantime, keep an eye on these additional proposals: 1/6
