R to @EU_Commission: Over the past few years, the EU has become a leader in supercomputing and shown how digital and green transitions can go hand in hand.
As President @vonderleyen highlighted during #SOTEU, it is time to open up our high-performance computers to AI start-ups to train their models.
R to @ph_lamberts: "The key to competitiveness is for our economies to embrace the green transformation, to support entrepreneurs who want to lead it and ditch the rent-seekers! This is the surest route to EU prosperity in the 21st century." #SOTEU
74% of SMEs say they struggle to find qualified staff.
Labour shortages hamper innovation, growth and prosperity.
Next year, together with the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU, we will hold a new Social Partner Summit at Val Duchesse 🇧🇪– almost 40 years after the historic European Social Dialogue meeting.
On #DemocracyDay, we are committed to forging a society that is fair, inclusive and full of opportunity.
The future of Europe will be built with and by our people.
From wind to steel, the future of clean tech industry has to be Made in #Europe.
We want to support the #EU industry in building its model for decarbonisation. Starting this month, we will discuss with the industry the best way to do this.
Our #wind industry is already a European success story, but it faces a unique mix of challenges.
That is why we will present a European Wind Power package to boost fast-track permitting and focus on access to finance, among others.
President von der Leyen welcomed Colombian writer Héctor Abad Fasiolinse as the guest of honour for this 2023 #SOTEU address.
He is a survivor of a Russian ballistic missile attack which took the life of his friend Victoria Amelina, one of the great young Ukrainian writers of her generation and an activist for justice.
Now he is telling the world about Victoria to save her memory and to end this war.
Kaj se vam zdijo pomembni poudarki? Meni je tisti "ne pomeni ne" precej markanten, na primer. Pa protisubvencijska preiskava kitajskih električnih avtov. In svetovni okvir za umetno inteligenco.
Given that this was a #SOTEU at the end of the mandate, I found it pretty ambitious. What to watch from the #highereducation and #research perspective:
what are the implications of de-risking on research cooperation with #China?
is there any place for soft power in a geopolitical Europe?
Mein Kommentar zur enttäuschenden Rede der EU-Kommissionspräsidentin:
„Von der Leyen hat über die Lage der Europäischen Union gesprochen aber verschließt die Augen vor der Realität. Die Lage ist ernst: mit der Chatkontrolle gefährdet die EU-Kommission die Sicherheit von Millionen Menschen in der EU. Jetzt müssen die EU-Mitgliedsstaaten die Reißleine ziehen und ihr Überwachungspaket stoppen.“
In her #SOTEU speech, President @vonderleyen announces the forthcoming launch of a "strategic dialogue on the future of agriculture in the EU". Expresses her conviction that #agriculture and #nature protection can go hand in hand.
But what does that mean for #EUFarm2Fork?
Gerade spricht die EU-Kommissionspräsidentin über die Lage der Europäischen Union #SOTEU. Wir sagen: Die Lage ist ernst: die von-der-Leyen-Kommission plant mit der #Chatkontrolle die anlasslose Massenüberwachung aller EU-Bürger.innen. Das gefährdet Grundfreiheiten, IT-Sicherheit und Verschlüsselung für mehrere hundert Millionen Menschen in der EU.
Mit über 80 anderen zivilgesellschaftlichen Organisationen fordern wir deshalb: die Regierungen der EU-Länder müssen gegen das Überwachungspaket mit der Chatkontrolle stimmen!
