The work of the Strategic Dialogue on Agriculture shows that we can overcome polarisation, create trust and find common solutions. Its final report, presented today to President von der Leyen, outlines key challenges and opportunities in the agri-food sector and shows that consensus can be built among key interests from across the whole agri-food chain. The recommendations will shape the Commission's Vision for Sustainable Agriculture, to be delivered in the first 100 days of the second mandate.

Today President von der Leyen visited Črna, the 🇸🇮 Slovenian city devastated by floods one year ago. Dear Slovenia, Europe is by your side. We are tabling €430 million from our EU Solidarity Fund to help you recover, repair and rebuild. We will keep working with local authorities to make the best use of these funds. 12 months later, the devastation of the floods and the mud that was covering everything leaves new space for hope.

🔔 The first bell has already rung – or might soon do. And, ahem, the EU might have something to do with it. Like the many bridges we have helped build, schools are here to connect: students and teachers, our past and future, cultures, and communities. That’s why we are committed to helping build new ones, making them more sustainable, and providing a boost to education systems across the EU. Here are four examples: 🇭🇷 Ivan Merz Elementary School in Zagreb received €7.7 million for renovations, including 20 classrooms for 380 pupils. 🇵🇱 Żory’s new kindergarten received €565,709 to build a state-of-the-art facility, accommodating up to five preschool classes for about 125 children. 🇸🇰 Emila Belluša Secondary School in Trenčín received €1.8 million for renovations, significantly reducing energy consumption. 🇬🇷 Lappa’s new primary school received €1.2 million to build two modern buildings to meet the district’s primary education. Schools are the foundations of our future. Let's keep creating conditions for students and teachers to grow and thrive. #EUFunded #EuropeanUnion #BackToSchool
