The Western Balkans can contribute so much to our Union's future. And our Union can contribute so much to this region's future, too. President von der Leyen completes her four-day trip in the Western Balkans today. The EU's €6 billion Reform & Growth Facility for Western Balkans provides the roadmap to bring their economies closer to ours. It gives their companies the access and the means to compete on our Single Market. Everyone benefits and it's a big step towards 🇪🇺. #EuropeanUnion

🌍 From space, our planet is breathtaking. What if space can help us keep it that way? The Copernicus Programme provides real-time data and forecast information vital for biodiversity protection. With its satellites and ground instruments, Copernicus' contribution helps manage vulnerable and endangered ecosystems and combat threats like climate change. Yet, our focus is still firmly on Earth. During COP16 in Colombia, we are highlighting the EU’s commitment to tackling biodiversity loss through integrated solutions and swift nature-based approaches. Our action on the ground and from space plays a pivotal role in safeguarding our planet’s future.
