The EU learned the hard way what dependency costs.

We cannot replace our reliance on Russian gas with reliance on Chinese ports.

Trade must remain open, but control of our strategic infrastructure must stay in European hands.

Europe's ports are the gateways to our transport network, handling over 70% of the goods entering and leaving the continent.

European strategic ports require European control.

🏡 Less bureaucracy, more homes!

Endless regulations won’t solve Europe’s housing crisis.

The EPP Group is pushing to cut red tape and speed up construction.

That means:
✅ Faster building permits and simpler rules
✅ Less EU bureaucracy for local authorities
✅ Assessing housing-related regulations to remove unnecessary obstacles

We need practical solutions, not delays.

Today in the European Parliament, @EPPGroup@respublicae.eu MEPs will host the “8+100 Democratic Belarus Forum”. It is a key platform uniting Belarusian democratic forces and European partners in support of freedom, human rights, and political prisoners.

The 8+100 Forum brings together eight Belarusian democratic political parties dismantled by the regime of Alexander Lukashenko, yet still active thanks to the commitment of their members and supporters, many of whom remain...

Pinned: The Mullah regime in Iran has oppressed and continues to oppress its people, destabilise the region and embrace its nuclear ambitions. It is one of the most serious threats to international security. The EPP Group condemns this barbaric regime. 

In these perilous times we stand with and support the Iranian people who deserve better. The Iranian people are exhausted by a 47-year-long regime that treated them as domestic enemies. We demand a stop to an...

The EPP Group strongly condemns the unprovoked Iranian missile and drone attacks against Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates and calls on Iran to immediately cease these assaults.

This is a senseless escalation against countries who had declared their neutrality in the conflict.

We express our solidarity with all these countries targeted in the attacks and commend the efforts of their governments to safeguard t...

"The Bilaterals III Agreement marks an important step in further strengthening the close and trusted partnership between the European Union and #Switzerland.

As the EU’s fourth most important trading partner, Switzerland is a key partner with whom we cooperate closely not only in the internal market, but also on security, in research and innovation, in energy, and in foreign and security policy, including close coordination on sanctions and multilateral eng...

RT by @EPPGroup@respublicae.eu: In this highly volatile and dangerous situation, restraint to prevent further escalation is of great importance. Preventing a broader regional conflict and protecting civilians must be the immediate priority.

The future of Iran must lie in the hands of the Iranian people.

RT by @EPPGroup@respublicae.eu: The Iranian regime has inflicted immense suffering. Europe has called for dismantling its instruments of oppression and has imposed sanctions. We stand with the Iranian people in their fight for freedom. Iran must no longer pose a threat to its neighbours or to global security.

"Recent developments in Iran are deeply concerning and further destabilise an already fragile region. We are closely monitoring the situation and remain in constant coordination with our partners.

As the European Parliament’s rapporteur on Iran, I reiterate that safeguarding regional stability and preserving the global non-proliferation regime are of paramount importance. Any action that risks further escalation must be avoided.

The European Union has alrea...

Putin is waging an ideological war. He wants to destabilise Ukraine; he wants to destabilise Europe.

Europe's duty and strategic interest are to strengthen Ukraine's self-defence.

We welcome the @EU_Commission@respublicae.eu’s decision to provisionally apply the EU–Mercosur agreement!

“This is very good news. Today, the EU sends a clear signal to our international partners, our businesses, and our citizens. We are creating one of the world’s largest economic zones, with more than 720 million people, with all safeguards in place to protect our farmers. This will allow us to reap the benefits of free trade and international partnership until the Europ...

Europe is and remains a safe continent, but this does not happen automatically. It requires strong action and the right tools. The European Commission presented this week a new EU Agenda to prevent and counter terrorism, alongside new rules to combat firearms trafficking. This is a clear step forward in protecting our citizens.

"Central focus of the new agenda lies on preventing radicalisation. Extremists deliberately use online platforms, encrypted communic...

R to @EPPGroup@respublicae.eu: Rural areas cover more than 80% of the EU territory and are home to nearly 30% of its population. Yet women in these regions face disproportionate structural barriers, including insufficient transport connections, lack of childcare, gaps in digital infrastructure, restricted access to finance and, too often, economic dependency that increases the risk of poverty and domestic violence.

“In order to ensure a competitive Europe, we must make sur...

“Russia’s attacks on energy and civilian infrastructure in Ukraine are deliberate attacks on ordinary citizens. We can already see the same pattern, on a smaller scale, within the EU. It is up to us to decide how we tackle this. But to prevail, our answer must be strong, unwavering, and united. That is the language Putin and the Kremlin understand," insists @AndrzejHalicki@respublicae.eu MEP.
