I’m glad that Fatih Birol joined our College discussion this morning to share his insights.
The expertise of the IEA is precious and its data and analysis play a crucial role in guiding our decisions
That is why we must continue improving the functioning of our energy market, attracting more investment in clean tech and moving forward with the transition towards clean, homegrown energy.
This is crucial for our energy security, affordability & independence and, equally, for our competitiveness.
Great news! Huge thanks to the @europarl.europa.eu and the @eucouncilnewsroom.bsky.social for finalising this so fast.
NEW: Six out of ten new EU city buses were zero-emission in 2025, led by four countries where 100% of new buses were battery-electric: Bulgaria, Denmark, Estonia & Latvia.
That’s a huge leap from just 12% in 2019 when the EU adopted the Clean Vehicles Directive.

Four years into its war in Ukraine, Russia is not winning. By any measure, Moscow’s invasion is a total strategic failure.
Within the Coalition of the Willing, we are clear that the fastest way to end the war is to increase support for Ukraine and intensify pressure on Russia. (1/2)
In solidarity with the Ukrainian people, we raise the Ukrainian flag alongside the EU flag at our @eudiplomacy.bsky.social HQ.
This is more than a symbol.
Ukraine’s future lies within the EU.
With our support, Ukrainians are resisting and holding firm. (1/2)
Written English has barely changed in 300 years. If you can read Harry Potter, you can read Robinson Crusoe (1719).
