We are opening an investigation into Grok because we believe that X may have breached the DSA.

We have seen over the last weeks and months antisemitic content, non-consensual deepfakes of women, and child sexual abuse material.

In Europe, no company will make money by violating our fundamental rights.

80 years ago, the UN General Assembly started with a dream: to maintain peace and security in the world.

The good?
Eight decades without World War III.

Where do we stand today?
It’s complicated.

But in a world of 8 billion people, it’s the only room where everyone gets a seat.

80 years ago, we chose dialogue over force.
Today, we must choose it again.

The text in black on grey texture background reads: ‘80 years ago, the world chose dialogue over violence. Today, it’s still the right choice.’ The EU logo in bla in the top right corner.

A step forward for youth, education, and cooperation, together again. 🤝🤝

Mission accomplished - the Sentinel-5A satellite is now safely in orbit!

It will now undergo calibration before starting its work for us: scanning and analysing the composition of the air we breathe.

Thanks to Sentinel-5A and other European Copernicus satellites, we will have more accurate pollution alerts to protect the most vulnerable, and improved aerosol forecasts for solar energy providers.

Check out the pictures from Sentinel-5A's launch from Europe's Spaceport in Kourou 👇👇

⚠⚠️ Time to cool smarter, not harder. 

💡💡 When buying a fan or air conditioner, choose products with an ‘A’ rating on the EU energy label to: 

✅✅ Cut energy use 
✅✅ Reduce emissions 
✅✅ Save money 
 
Thanks to Ecodesign and Energy Labelling, EU users saved €1.7B on aircon in 2020 — and could save €5.6B by 2030. 
 
Smart energy choices = lower bills + fewer emissions.
