“Europe cannot fund new priorities by simply adding them to old ones. We must make choices.
Almost every EU member country is making painful efforts to consolidate its public finances. There will be no European sovereignty without sound public finances”

Het Hoge Noorden verandert snel en wordt steeds belangrijker voor Europa. Daarom zochten we als Benelux onze partners in Noorwegen en IJsland op. Zij kennen het gebied als geen ander. Door hun kennis en onze krachten te verbinden, staat Europa sterker.

Thank you Minister @Tsahkna for your warm hospitality in Tallinn. Estonia and the Netherlands are close partners in the EU and NATO. A valuable exchange on strengthening European security, continued support for Ukraine & next year’s Ukraine Recovery Conference hosted by Estonia.

Steun voor Oekraïne is een directe investering in onze eigen veiligheid.
Nederland gaat aanvullende F-16-munitie leveren én €250 miljoen bijdragen aan dronesteun.
Belangrijk dat alle Europese bondgenoten een eerlijke bijdrage leveren!

As EU and NATO partners, the Baltic states and the Netherlands work together on European security, support for Ukraine and more pressure on Russia to end the war. I look forward to discussing and strengthening our cooperation during my visits to Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia.

Ratko Mladić was convicted of war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity. The honour bestowed upon him in Belgrade by the state is incompatible with European values and deeply hurtful to victims and their families. 1/2

🇳🇱 🇧🇪 🇱🇺 Drie landen, één Benelux. Ter gelegenheid van #Beneluxdag werd in alle drie de landen de vlag gehesen. Een zichtbaar symbool voor iets wat we iedere dag doen: grenzen overbruggen en samenwerken aan een sterker Europa.
Landmark EU Customs reform 👏
A big step towards a stronger, more modern and effective 🇪🇺Customs Union, ensuring fairer trade and better protection against unsafe goods.
The Council gave its final green light to a landmark reform of the EU customs framework.
A new EU customs authority, a single EU customs data hub, simpler procedures for the most trusted traders, and new measures to address the rise of e-commerce.

A full day of discussions in Ireland with EU colleagues and partners. We focused on keeping up our support for Ukraine, making Europe more effective on the world stage, and the situation in the Middle East. A constructive Gymnich, with plenty to take forward together.

Met onder meer Brainport Eindhoven en een bedrijf als ASML is Nederland een vruchtbare bodem voor innovatie. Voeg daar de indrukwekkende Franse technologische capaciteit aan toe – met een AI-koploper als Mistral – en het is duidelijk wat onze landen technologisch gezien in huis hebben.
President Macron was vandaag in ons land op bezoek. Hij en ik zijn ervan overtuigd dat we als Europa ons enorme potentieel nog beter kunnen benutten, dat we als Europa een AI- en techreus kunnen en moeten worden.
Dit betekent dat we die bedrijven, onderzoek, talent en industrie beter met elkaar gaan verbinden. Dat we investeringen aanjagen, zorgen voor betere regelgeving en een goede energie-infrastructuur. Zodat onze techbedrijven kunnen opschalen en excelleren.
Frankrijk en Nederland doen dit niet alleen. We bundelen de komende tijd samen met andere Europese landen, zoals Duitsland, en de Europese Commissie de krachten met onze grote Europese techbedrijven.

Germany has concluded Russia was involved in the attempted drone attack in Leipzig, which confirms a pattern our intelligence services have seen as well. Crystal clear these actions are unacceptable. 1/2
12 years ago today, 298 innocent people lost their lives when flight MH17 was shot down.
17 July 2014 will forever remain a dark chapter in Dutch history.
The Netherlands will not waver in seeking truth, justice and accountability.

The Benelux has long been a trusted platform for cooperation in Europe.
Great to meet colleagues from the three Benelux Permanent Representations and the Benelux Secretariat to strengthen our network, deepen our cooperation and exchange perspectives on our shared priorities.

The Netherlands and Flanders working hand in glove to deepen cross-border cooperation on trade, infrastructure, high-tech and energy transition.

Vlaanderen is voor Nederland een goede buur een belangrijke partner op tal van terreinen. Het is onze op twee na grootste handelspartner, we trekken samen op als het gaat om grensoverschrijdende infrastructuur en grensarbeid en de havens van Rotterdam, Zeeland en Antwerpen zijn nauw met elkaar verbonden.
Op het Catshuis ontving ik mijn Vlaamse collega @MDiependaele. We spraken over waar we onze samenwerking nog verder kunnen versterken, bijvoorbeeld op het gebied van economie, HighTech en de energietransitie. Hoe beter onze relatie is, hoe meer we ook in Europees verband voor elkaar kunnen krijgen.

Europe must show ambition. It must be economically strong, militarily resilient and politically decisive. Today and tomorrow I am in Brussels for the European summit. On this evening’s agenda: how can we keep the European economy competitive in a world of geopolitical tensions, high energy prices and fierce economic competition?
We must be more resilient and forge new strategic partnerships with friendly nations, broaden trade flows and conclude trade agreements that make Europe stronger and less vulnerable. But at the same time we must be prepared to modernise our trade instruments and deploy them when necessary.
We will also be speaking with Ukrainian President @ZelenskyyUa. Ukraine is putting up an admirable defence. Despite Russian aggression, Ukraine remains willing to talk and to bring this war to an end. But this is not in Ukraine’s hands; rather, it is up to Russia to finally take a step in the right direction. Until then, we must continue to do everything we can at European level to support Ukraine as best as possible. And to put maximum pressure on Russia.

I am grateful to the Netherlands for the defense package of €500 million. Namely €250 million for the PURL initiative that helps us protect Ukrainian sky and save lives, as well as another €250 million dedicated to drones that make a difference on the battlefield.
After the brutal Russian strikes against Ukraine, our cities, and our people, this support is especially timely and will help us.
Thank you, Netherlands!
