Great to welcome Bill Gates to European Parliament tonight. The Gates Foundation has a key role in saving lives. With the use of artificial intelligence and with a stronger partnership with such foundations, Europe can keep leading in global health.

On 28–29 June 1985, the European Council adopted the EU flag as the official emblem of the European Communities, the predecessor of the European Union. Today, its circle of twelve stars still stands for unity, equality and harmony — when they are needed most.

57 years ago in July 1968 the European Customs Union was established! This eliminated customs duties and import quotas among six members states. From six countries to the world's largest trading bloc with 27 countries, here's to many more years of unity and prosperity!

I send our deepest condolences following the loss of life and devastation caused by the floods that recently struck #Texas. The news of so many lives lost, including children, is deeply heartbreaking. We join Greg Abbott in prayer for all affected by this disaster.
