Brilliant European women powered progress, but the credit did not always go to them.
Melitta Bentz invented the coffee filter. History called her a ‘housewife’.
Marthe Gautier found Down Syndrome’s extra chromosome. Her boss took the spotlight.
Maria Anna Mozart composed masterpieces. Wolfgang Amadeus’ name survived, hers vanished.
Janet Sobel pioneered drip painting. Jackson Pollock was the genius.
This International Women’s Day, let’s restore their stories and give the credit they deserve!

A single road death is one too many.
In 2024, 19,940 people lost their lives in road crashes in the EU, a 12% drop compared to 2019.
Progress is real but not enough.
To meet our goal of halving road deaths and serious injuries by 2030 and Vision Zero by 2050, we must accelerate our efforts.
We will focus on safer infrastructure, stronger enforcement, vehicle technologies, new mobility, and road safety research.
Safer roads are not optional. They are essential.

They are European borders.
Today, we proposed a strategy to support the EU regions bordering Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine.

We've preliminary found that TikTok is in breach of the DSA for its addictive design.
There are important indicators of compulsive use of the app that TikTok has disregarded in its risk assessment.
Key features of the addictive design:
🔹Infinite scroll
🔹Autoplay
🔹Push notifications
🔹Highly personalised recommender system
We consider that TikTok needs to change the basic design of its service.
TikTok can now exercise its right to examine and reply to the finding.

We stand in solidarity with EU countries.
Together, we are holding online platforms accountable.
Online platforms bring many benefits, but they also pose risks such as addictive features, harmful content, and threats to children, consumers, democracies, and elections.
The DSA sets clear rules to protect everyone in the EU, from scams and dangerous products to freedom of expression and fair elections.
Together, we are making the online environment in Europe safe, transparent, and trustworthy.
