As 🇧🇪 takes its turn at the 🇪🇺 helm, a contrarian 🧵 about expectation management for #BE2024EU is in order. Let's dive right in 👇 (1/9)

Positive about the cooperation on #JustTransition started with #BE2024EU & the common effort on climate action shared with 🇧🇪 Minister Zakia Khattabi.

Glad to have met at #COP28 to exchange on #SDGs , Agenda 2030, #EUBlueDeal & the way forward for climate resilience & adaptation.

🟢Groen licht voor #NGTs . Belangrijk dossier voor #BE2024EU en voor Vlaamse topexpertise in de materie. Toont ook aan dat politieke debat zichzelf kan overstijgen en we biotech kunnen omarmen als volwaardig instrument in de landbouw, zowel aan de boerenkant als aan de milieukant.

Many thanks Alexander De Croo 🇧🇪🇪🇺 for the common engagement around the #SingleMarket relaunch. It is time to act. Strong wake up call from 🇧🇪 🇪🇺 Presidency. @BE2024EU Jacques Delors Institute

The EFN is very happy with the EHDS directive. The EFN input was key! But now the work must continue on a proper implementation that does not increase the burden for nurses. #EFN #nurses #nursingworkforce #EHDS #frontlinenurses #BE2024EU
