Some people complain that the #EuropeanUnion means a lot of rules and regulations. But when it comes to our food, I'm glad some ingredients are banned in the EU. Like petrolium-based food-dyes for instance! #MadeInEurope www.youtube.com/shorts/Uhvfe...

Western Europe had its hottest June on record.🔥 Intense heatwaves broke temperature records, with peaks up to 9°C above average in France and Germany, according to Copernicus data. Only Cyprus and Malta had normal temperatures. Climate change is here and we are feeling its effects

Map of Europe showing average surface air temperature anomalies for 18–30 June 2026 compared with the 1991–2020 average. Large areas of Western and Central Europe, particularly France, Germany, Benelux, northern Italy and surrounding regions, are shaded dark red, indicating temperatures up to 9°C above average. Lighter orange and yellow shades show smaller positive anomalies across much of the rest of Europe. A colour scale at the bottom ranges from -9°C (dark blue) to +9°C (dark red). The map includes Copernicus Climate Change Service and European Union logos.

European security is evolving. To protect our energy grids and public spaces, we propose a new Action Plan on drone security with €400 million in investments. We’re establishing a new EU Counter-Drone Centre of Excellence and leveraging AI and 5G infrastructure to detect risks in real time.
