🆕 Today, a @Europarl_EN delegation met with members of the @EIB management board. The European Investment Bank as the "EU bank" is a major implementing partner for the EU's external action 🇪🇺, and will continue to play this role under the future 'Global Europe' instrument.

📺 WATCH: my speech today in #Strasbourg as the parliament adopted my report on global health by a large majority of MEPs.
Because of the massive aid cuts by the US 🇺🇸 (and others) less girls are going to school, there are more cases of child marriage, more cholera and more cases of HIV in children.
The situation is urgent.

Mon rapport sur le programme européen #GlobalGateway vient d'être adopté à une large majorité en commission au Parlement européen.
Pour la première fois, nous fixons une ligne politique claire sur le principal outil d’investissement extérieur de l’UE : 400 milliards pour défendre la démocratie, l’énergie bas carbone et le développement face aux puissances autoritaires.
Prochaine étape en plénière à Strasbourg.
