Great to be in Torun, Poland, last week for the SMOOTY study visit.
Three days sharing good practices, exploring sustainable and inclusive mobility, and learning about regional transport initiatives.
A big thank you to our hosts!

✅ Political ads should be transparent. And the rules should work.
Today, Commissioner Michael McGrath is discussing how to make EU political advertising rules:
🔹 Clearer
🔹 Easier to follow
🔹 More effective
Part of our work under the European Democracy Shield. 🗳️

The text reads “Implementation Dialogues – Ready to listen” and includes his name and full portfolio: Democracy, Justice, the Rule of Law and Consumer Protection. The European Commission logo appears in the upper-right corner.
🔧 Why replace when you can repair?
The EU's Right to Repair aims to change that by making repairs simpler and more accessible.
A small change that can make a big difference for consumers and the environment. 🌍♻️
🇮🇪 🇪🇺 #EUInMyRegion
Repairing shouldn't cost more than replacing.
With the EU Right to repair, you can:
🔹request repairs at a reasonable price, within reasonable time
🔹get at least one year of legal guarantee after repair
🔹easily find information on repair services

A substantial medieval undercroft is among a series of important archaeological discoveries uncovered during enabling works at the THRIVE Fireplace Site regeneration project on Nicholas Street. 🇮🇪 🇪🇺
The findings are providing new insights into a site that has been part of Limerick's urban landscape for centuries.
