Today, we mark the 10-year anniversary of the #Euromaidan 🇺🇦🫂🇪🇺
 
A decade ago, the Ukrainian people, wrapped in European flags and driven by the desire for change, spoke on Maidan square: 𝘜𝘬𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘌𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘦. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘶𝘴. 
 
This courageous declaration became the catalyst for Putin's aggression – seizing Crimea, causing destabilisation in Donbass, and launching a full-scale attack in 2022. It's been ten years of Ukraine fighting against Russia for freedom. 
 
Now, your reforms and our proposal for accession negotiations declare it: the future of Ukraine is in the European Union. 
 
The future that the Maidan wanted is happening right before our eyes.

The hydrogen economy is blooming.
 
The first hydrogen busses are running in European cities and construction works have just begun in the port of Rotterdam to build a hydrogen network that will span for over one thousand kilometres.
 
This week, we are launching the first auction of the European Hydrogen Bank that is backed by €800 million in European funding and will attract private sector financing and result in commercial off-take agreements.
 
In spring 2024, we will launch the second round of auction, reaching a total value of €3 billion.
 
It is a promise we made one year ago, and it is now becoming reality.

Climate change is here. It is our greatest common enemy and an existential threat to all. 

2023 will likely be the warmest year ever recorded, with more frequent and dramatic droughts and wildfires, storms and floods. 

While the EU is on track to exceed the goal to cut its net greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030, similar ambition is needed by other major emitters to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C by the end of the century. 

We can still make a difference, but we need to act now and confront this challenge together. 

#COP28 starts in less than two weeks – it's an opportunity for us to push for real progress.

Digital trade is growing fast 🌐 ⏩  
  
With more than 60% of global GDP now linked to digital transactions, ensuring safe growth and a secure online environment for consumers is crucial.  
  
The EU, as the world’s largest exporter of services – half of which are digital – is committed to leading the way in setting high standards for privacy and data protection in the digital economy.  
  
That’s why we’re working closely with Indo-Pacific partners to achieve strong, sustainable growth in the industry through: 
 
🇸🇬 🇰🇷 digital trade agreements with Singapore and South Korea (currently under negotiation); 
🇯🇵 the landmark agreement on cross-border data flows with Japan. 
  
These are concrete steps to strengthen our partnerships and foster legal certainty for businesses and consumers in digital trade.
