I congratulate the @ec.europa.eu for the agreement reached with the @mercosur.bsky.social countries. It is a very important achievement. The Member States will now evaluate it and decide.

Social dialogue is the bedrock of our European model and an imperative for tackling today’s challenges. As problems vary, we need tailored reforms and investments. It's the logic of NGEU and good for the future. Follow my speech at the European Economic and Social Committee plenary europa.eu/!VdjJWn
