Over 75% of the world’s food crops need pollinators.

Yet, bee populations have dropped globally over recent decades due to:

🔸 habitat loss
🔸 climate change
🔸 excessive use of pesticides

Our fertiliser plan promotes healthier ecosystems, which are essential for bees’ survival.

On this #WorldBeeDay, we urge governments, organisations and citizens to help save these precious creatures.

We need to keep our bees busy and well!

€400 billion already invested 😎

NextGenerationEU was launched in the midst of COVID-19.

The EU’s largest-ever financial stimulus package, it's already funded thousands of projects across Europe, including:

🔥 New firefighting assets for the Portuguese Air Force
🌳 Revitalising forests and woods in Czechia
💛 Opening new childcare facilities in Belgium

NGEU was launched to build a greener, more digital, more resilient future.

This ambition is stronger than ever!

Over one million citizens signed the petition through the European Citizens’ Initiative to ban conversion practices.

We hear you.

And our reply is firm:
✋🏼These interventions must end.

Being LGBTIQ+ doesn’t need to be cured.

Yet, conversion practices, relying on the false idea that LGBTIQ+ people are sick, still exist and are causing long-lasting psychological and physical damage.

Your rights are an inseparable part of a true Union of Equality.

We won’t let you down. 🏳️‍🌈

2026-05-12T13:16:49Z

The message from Europeans is clear: children deserve a digital world where they can grow up free, safe and protected.

From harmful content and cyberbullying to addictive online designs, concerns about the risks children face online are growing across Europe.

Tech providers are responsible for the safety of their products and their safe use. Let us give childhood back to our children.

That is Europe's principle; that is the basis of the Digital Services Act.

Multilingualism is one of our founding principles in the EU.

68 years ago, the first-ever EU law, Regulation 1/58, established our official EU languages.

Starting with Dutch, French, German, and Italian, we now have 24 official EU languages!

Through languages, we can build connections, discover new cultures, develop life-long friendships.

Which languages do you speak, and which one would you like to learn next?

Europe, the AI Continent.

One year ago, we launched the AI Continent Action Plan. Since then, we have made huge strides:

✅ 19 AI factories are now live across EU countries.
✅ We established the AI Skills Academy to train experts.
✅ The AI Omnibus is cutting costs for business.
✅ We have earmarked €1 billion to support AI adoption in industry.

We are building a secure and innovative AI future for Europe.

Here’s our play:

👉 Cheaper energy sources: we are linking electricity prices to wind and solar instead of expensive gas.

The big target: we aim to cut household energy bills by 66% by 2035.

✔️ For a Europe where energy is clean, local and, above all, affordable for every citizen.

Under the Digital Markets Act, Meta will offer EU users a real choice on data use and personalised ads.

We will monitor compliance, because rights online are non-negotiable.
