Strongly welcome the substantial deal on an EU-Philippines free trade agreement, taking relations to the next level and strengthening connections to another key, fast-growing economy in South-East Asia. New opportunities for EU businesses and helping our diversification efforts.

This week in Beijing and Shanghai for meetings with China’s top trade representatives. Main focus is to underscore that EU trade deficit with China is unsustainable and that we expect the Chinese to limit their exports and stop fuelling unfair competition with state subsidies.

Our citizens deserve secure borders.
In our EPP Manifesto we promised to turn Frontex into a true European border & coast guard, tripling its staff to 30.000 officers.
The Commission's new proposal effectively advances this goal, strengthening Frontex to protect our borders. 1/2
“Frontex must be able to keep pace with the challenges at Europe’s external borders.
Strengthening its operational capacities, improving cooperation and information-sharing, and enhancing its ability to support returns are important steps in the right direction.
The focus must now be on shaping the proposal pragmatically to ensure that the Agency can act swiftly in crisis situations, with the necessary capabilities and a clear legal framework,” says the EPP Group MEP @LenaDuepontMdEP.
"Congratulations to the Serbian citizens on the high voter turnout and to the Students’ List on its victory! Now is the time to promote peace, justice, democratic reforms, and good neighbourly relations, while aligning Serbia with European values and policies," says @DavorIvoStier MEP, the EPP Group’s spokesperson on Serbia.
More than 40 merchant vessels have been attacked in the Black Sea this year. Sailors have been killed and many are missing.
The EPP Group calls for an EU naval mission to protect ships near the coasts of Bulgaria and Romania. Not to escalate, but to keep goods and fuel flowing without further price increases.

This is why the International Criminal Court was created, says @MicWawrykiewicz.
Now it is under threat from US sanctions.
For @OndrejKolar6, this is Europe’s moment to lead and safeguard the Court’s work.
