Great vibes at Tokyo Metropolitan Toyama High School last Friday!🏫

The enthusiasm during 'EU Comes to Your School' talks is always a joy to see. Was also a pleasure to chat with a group studying energy in Europe -- our future is in good hands! #euschooljp #EU出張授業 #TeamEuropeJapan

Steel is crucial for the EU economy.

To protect the sector from unfair global overcapacity and to ensure its long-term viability, we propose:

🔹Limiting tariff-free import volumes
🔹Doubling the level of out-of-quota duty to 50%
🔹Strengthening steel market traceability

Europe is only safe if its Eastern border is safe.

Over the past days, President von der Leyen visited frontline states to reaffirm Europe’s unity and solidarity.

Together, we are strengthening border protection, our defence industry, NATO cooperation and support for Ukraine.
Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, and Donald Tusk, Prime Minister of Poland. Von der Leyen, who is wearing a pink checkered shirt and black pants, is looking down and to her right. Tusk, in a white button-down shirt with a small heart pin, is talking to a soldier on his right. The soldier is wearing a helmet and a camouflage uniform and is looking at Tusk. A second soldier, wearing a green beret, is standing on the far left of the group, looking toward von der Leyen. In the foreground, the back of another soldier's head and shoulder are visible, with their back to the camera. A close-up photo shows Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, smiling broadly while holding a small black remote control device. She is wearing an orange/red blazer over a light-colored top. She is standing outside, surrounded by other smiling people, including a man in a black baseball cap to her right. A logo for "Milrem Robotics" is visible on the jacket of a man to her left.

📍 At the border between Poland and Belarus.

Poland is facing hybrid attacks from across the border.

We stand in solidarity with our Member State.

In our new EU budget, we have proposed to triple border management funding.

We are all responsible for Europe’s external borders.
