This #WorldRefugeeDay, we renew our commitment to protect, support and stand in solidarity with those forced to flee. Being a refugee is not a choice. But it is a choice to stand in solidarity #WithRefugees.

It was a pleasure to observe Romania’s earthquake exercise SEISM2025 and the nuclear exercise ConvEx-3. Impressive to see the effective cross-sectoral approach to crisis management that Romania has built and the state-of-the-art capabilities they have developed, some of which

On 29 June 1985, European leaders chose a flag to represent a shared vision. Twelve stars, not for nations but for unity, harmony and hope. A symbol that has grown with us. From a sign of peace to a reflection of our values. Today, we celebrate 40 years of the EU flag. 🇪🇺

Europe is launching two bold strategies, on #Stockpiling and #Medical Countermeasures, to shield our citizens from tomorrow's crises. Preparedness makes us stronger. Stockpiles save lives. Innovation secures health. Europe is ready: to act early, together, and effectively.

Mulțumesc. Grazie. À Marseille et Narbonne, à leur tour, des pompiers roumains et italiens prêtent main-forte à nos forces dans le cadre du Mécanisme de protection civile de l’Union européenne. C’est l’esprit européen : l’entraide, la solidarité concrète, la force du collectif.

Israel agreed to allow humanitarian aid into #Gaza as per the agreement we negotiated with them. We expect swift implementation of the commitments made. Let food, water, medicine & fuel reach those in need. Civilians aren’t targets. Respect IHL. Every minute lost is a life lost.

As wildfire risk remains high across Europe, a dedicated team of Dutch firefighters is strategically prepositioned in Galicia, Spain, via the #EUCivilProtection Mechanism. They ensure a swift and efficient response alongside local Spanish teams in case a fire breaks out. 🇳🇱🤝🇪🇸

Civilians cannot be targets. Never. The images from Gaza are unbearable. The EU reiterates its call for the free, safe and swift flow of humanitarian aid. And for the full respect of international and humanitarian law. Civilians in Gaza have suffered too much, for too long.
