🔴 We have closed our first case under the Digital Services Act.
TikTok has committed to permanently withdraw the TikTok Lite Rewards programme from the EU.
The platform has also committed not to launch any other programme which would circumvent the withdrawal.
We will carefully monitor TikTok's legally binding commitments. Any breach would immediately amount to a breach of the DSA and could lead to fines.

Today, we remember the more than 500,000 Roma murdered under the Nazi regime.
Their lives were extinguished, their culture suppressed, and their stories silenced.
80 years later, we remember the past and commit to do better in the future. We honour Roma’s legacy and continue to fight for a world where diversity is celebrated and where hatred has no place.
On #RomaHolocaustDay, we reemphasise our commitment to safeguard the rights of all minority groups.

A useful #WTFistheCouncil reminder I usually have to skip due to character limits or not wanting to scare off normies too much. It's not just our national governments who'd prefer to keep us ignorant about how the #EU works (though they're the biggest culprit), journalists, lobbyists, and a lot of MEPs benefit from it as well.

🟢 Powering on AI factories.
Today, we are launching a rolling call for AI factories, which will help secure our position at the forefront of artificial intelligence.
These factories, created around the European High-Performance Computing supercomputers, will bring together computing power, data, and European talent.
The EU AI Act has pioneered safe and trustworthy #AI. Next is making Europe a global leader in this transformative technology.
ℹ️ Here’s how: https://europa.eu/!qy7HRp
🇪🇺 🇺🇦 Relentless Russian attacks mean Ukraine needs continued EU support.
Today, President von der Leyen met with President Zelenskyy in 🇺🇦 Kyiv.
She announced the proposal of an exceptional Macro-Financial Assistance loan of up to €35 billion for Ukraine.
This package, backed by the extraordinary profits from immobilised Russian assets, supports the EU-G7 contribution of up to €45 billion for Ukraine's recovery and resilience.
We've signed the Council of Europe Framework Convention on Artificial Intelligence – the first legally binding international agreement on #AI.
It aligns with our AI Act to ensure AI is compatible with human rights, democracy, and rule of law while fostering innovation and trust.

Social engineering – heard of it? 🎯
Attackers are becoming more creative, engineering scams that exploit your trust and trick individuals, businesses, and organisations into sharing sensitive information.
On the occasion of the European #CyberSecMonth, remember to stay vigilant online and boost your skills to spot these manipulative tactics.
From hype to reality.
Trustworthy, ethical, and responsible Artificial Intelligence can help Europe grow, improve public services, and solve societal problems.
This summer, we asked for your input on several issues, from transparency to copyright-related rules.
We will use the nearly 430 submissions received from industry, academia and civil society to finalise our Code of Practice for general-purpose AI and support the work of the AI Office.
🇦🇹 🇨🇿 🇵🇱 🇷🇴 🇸🇰 Europe is by your side in this difficult moment.

She also discussed the response with the leaders of Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, and Austria.
Through the EU Civil Protection Mechanism, the EU is working to provide emergency equipment.
When the time comes, we will be ready to help rebuild.
This is #EUSolidarity.
🇪🇺⚖️ Today is a good day for European citizens, tax justice, and fair competition.
In its final judgment, @Curia has confirmed our 2016 decision that Ireland granted illegal aid to Apple, requiring the release of up to 13 billion euros in unpaid taxes.
The court has also upheld our decision against Google for abusing its dominant position by favouring its own comparison shopping service and the resulting €2.4 billion fine.

✔ For a Tobacco-Free Generation by 2040.
We are recommending that EU countries extend smoke-free environment policies to electronic cigarettes and other new products like heated tobacco.
Also, smoke-free environments should cover outdoor recreational areas such as public playgrounds, amusement parks and swimming pools.
These measures will protect people, especially children, from the effects of second-hand smoke.
