Von der Leyen pays tribute to former European Parliament President David Sassoli.
President Metsola, dear Roberta, Excellencies, Cara Alessandra, Giulio and Livia, David Sassoli was a true custodian of the values our Union was built on. The Parliament buildings are named after the men and women who moved Europe forward. Simone Veil. Altiero Spinelli. Willy Brandt. And more. The Pantheon of our European Union. And this is exactly where David Sassoli belongs. It is a bittersweet moment to see David's name on this building.

Je dis ça parce que typiquement, quand les robots sont apparus dans l'industrie dans les années 80-90, en France, on a eu ce débat. Et on a plutôt moins que les autres pris les robots, beaucoup moins, par exemple, qu'en Italie ou en Allemagne. On a désindustrialisé beaucoup plus vite. Et donc, on a accru le problème.

Timely meeting with @AndrejPlenkovic ahead of the MED9 summit. We discussed our ongoing efforts to tackle current high energy prices. The economic boost that NextGenEU brought to Croatia is evidence of the power of our EU budget. And we agreed on the importance of equipping the upcoming one so that it can continue to support our EU priorities. We both welcomed the current momentum for EU enlargement.
