We must act quickly to defend our interests & protect our businesses.
The energy crisis, inflation & increased global competition are impacting our economies.
At our #EUCO meeting in February, we need to send a strong message that we will act to safeguard our industrial base.

Є агресор: Кремль.
І жертва: український народ.
Виведення російських військ - єдиний серйозний спосіб відновлення миру та безпеки.
Оголошення про одностороннє припинення вогню є таким же фальшивим і лицемірним, як і незаконні і гротескні анексії та супутні референдуми

There’s an aggressor: the Kremlin. And a victim:the Ukrainian people. Withdrawal of Russian troops is only serious option to restore peace & security. Announcement of unilateral ceasefire is as bogus & hypocritical as the illegal & grotesque annexations and accompanying referenda

One way to do that is through trade, a powerful engine for growth and for creating closer ties between our regions.
