There is renewed potential for closer 🇪🇺🇹🇷 relations.
At the EU-Türkiye Business Summit this week, I spoke about the need for even stronger economic ties which must go hand in hand with open social dialogue built on trust.
Civil society has a key role to play in this regard.

Europe needs to be tougher in defending its economic interests. But economic security must not come at the cost of economic isolation.
My latest piece for @Rapporteur on making EU trade policy work for businesses and people.
#EUTrade #EconomicSecurity @EESC_REX #TradeCommittee
Europe must defend its interests without retreating into isolation. How can it balance economic security, openness and rules-based trade?

The EU has stood with Ukraine since the very first day of Russia’s invasion.
@ZelenskyyUA’s presence today is a message to all those watching that the EU’s support for Ukraine remains as strong as ever. xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1YxNrbgXB…

📣@MilenaAngel23 on Economic Security:
▶️We must strengthen the foundations of our internal market through excellence in innovation, skills & entrepreneurship
▶️Building fences will not save us as defenses are always temporary
▶️Fair trade & partnerships (new trade agreements) can deliver 4 business & workers in 🇪🇺 & in world through skills, infrastructure, investment & quality employment
⏩Security, competitiveness & openness when done right, reinforce each other 🤝

Enlargement can no longer be treated separately from climate ambitions.
Early alignment of candidate countries with EU climate policies could:
🇪🇺 reduce compliance costs;
🇪🇺 strengthen energy security;
🇪🇺 give businesses & investors greater certainty.

Honoured to welcome Governor Ruslan Osypenko and the Chernivtsi delegation to the @EU_EESC today.
Even far from the front line, Ukraine’s regions are supporting displaced families, war-affected communities, and the long work of building a European future.
We stand with you.

Pleased to meet representatives of Montenegro’s inspiring civil society in Podgorica today.
An active and independent civil society and meaningful social dialogue are essential for democracy. They must be at the centre of the 🇲🇪 🇪🇺 accession journey.

EESC External Relations retweeted
Pleased to be in Podgorica at a decisive moment for Montenegro’s accession path.
I started my mission with a useful exchange with @josattler @EUAmbME on 🇲🇪 🇪🇺 ahead of meetings with political leaders & civil society.
EU accession can only succeed with civil society at its 💙.
EESC External Relations retweeted
Montenegro's future is in the EU. 🇲🇪🇪🇺
I held an extended and highly productive meeting with PM @MickeySpajic and commended him on the remarkable reform progress.
I encouraged him to keep it up, with civil society part of every step.

Thank you, Minister Damir Gutić, for the fruitful exchange in Podgorica today. 🇲🇪
It was a pleasure to discuss shared priorities: fighting poverty, social inclusion and addressing demographic challenges.
Social progress and accession go hand in hand.
