A pleasure to meet Commissioner @WBHoekstra.
We discussed climate action as a lever against poverty, sustainable agriculture, and how the @EU_EESC can work with the Commission to keep the green transition high on Europe's agenda.

- Social dialogue and civil dialogue: two sides of the same coin. That was my message today on the @FriendsofEurope panel on Greece's National Social Agreement, alongside PM @kmitsotakis, EVP @RoxanaMinzatu and Minister @nkerameus. The @EU_EESC stands for both.
- Good music and the warmth of a Cypriot welcome. A wonderful evening at the @EU_EESC, celebrating six months of friendship and leadership from the Cypriot Presidency. The EU is not only a political project. It is a community built on history, culture and traditions.
- Without water, there is no life, no economy, no security. From #EUBlueDeal to global water action, Europe must lead with an ambitious policy that protects the right to water & strengthens resilience. Thank you @JessikaRoswall, @hildebentele & @SRWatSan for joining #EESCPlenary.
