We want to stop clock-changing. Member States should themselves decide whether their citizens live in summer or winter time. 🕒
President @JunckerEU State of the Union #SOTEU #EfficientEU #ClockChange
We are proposing to end seasonal #clockchange in Europe in 2019, giving Member States the freedom to decide once and for all whether they want to permanently apply summer or winter time.
#SOTEU #EfficientEU
We held a public consultation, building on the @Europarl_EN request and as part of our assessment.
84% of 4.6 million respondents were in favour of ending seasonal #clockchange, the most responses ever received.
Final results → europa.eu/!jy43KH #SOTEU #EUHaveYourSay

“We cannot continue to squabble to find ad-hoc solutions each time a new ship arrives.”
During #SOTEU, President @JunckerEU proposed:
• A reinforced European Union Agency for Asylum
• A fully equipped #EUBorderGuard
• Stronger EU rules on return
• Legal migration
#MigrationEU
We are proposing to equip the #EUBorderGuard with the operational capacity and powers needed to effectively support Member States on the ground.
The new standing corps of 10,000 operational staff will ensure that the EU has the necessary capabilities in place.
#SOTEU #MigrationEU
We are proposing to reinforce the European Union Agency for Asylum to help Member States to process asylum applications swiftly, including through the deployment of migration management support teams. #MigrationEU

EU-U.S. Joint Statement of 25 July: EU imports of U.S. liquefied natural gas are on the rise.
Since arrival of the first U.S. LNG carrier in April 2016 and today, EU imports of LNG from the U.S. have increased from 0 to 2.8 billion cubic meters.
europa.eu/!QP48YV #EUtrade
President @JunckerEU and President @realDonaldTrump agreed to strengthen EU-U.S. strategic cooperation with respect to energy.
In this context, the EU would import more LNG from the U.S. to diversify and render its energy supply more secure.
The EU and the U.S. will therefore work to facilitate trade in liquefied natural gas.
The EU is ready to facilitate more imports of liquefied natural gas from the U.S. and this is already the case.
