Around 27.6 million people are in forced labour.

In many sectors and in every continent across the world.

We can never accept that people are threatened to make products that end up for sale in Europe – business can never be done at the expense of people's dignity and freedom.

This week, we welcome the political agreement to ban products made with forced labour from the Union market.

The new legislation will:

✅ cover products made in the EU for domestic consumption and exports;
✅ cover imported goods, without targeting specific companies or industries;
✅ open the possibility to investigate cases and take decisions where the risk of forced labour is inside and outside the territory of the Union.

A stronger Union embraces the aspirations of our young people.

With this spirit, in 2022 we celebrated the European Year of Youth giving young people a stronger voice in EU policymaking and helping us respond to their concerns.

Keeping that momentum, we are now strengthening our commitment:

➡ Introducing a ‘youth check’ to ensure the effects on youth are systematically considered when designing EU policies.

➡ Addressing youth concerns across five key policy areas:
⚕️ health and wellbeing
💚 environment and climate
👩‍🎓 education and training
🤝 international cooperation and European values
👷 employment and inclusion

Let's work together to shape the future of the EU.

And to complete your list of 2024 resolutions: Plant a tree 🌳

January is the perfect time to set goals. What better than to choose those that are going to have a positive impact on our planet.

Planting a tree can be a decisive action to fight climate change. That is why, by 2030, we want to plant three billion additional trees, and protect and restore forests while ensuring their sustainability.

You can be part of this effort by using the 'MapMyTree' app. 🔗 https://mapmytree.eea.europa.eu/

Your contribution will add to the 13 million additional trees already registered in the EU!

Do you have any other sustainable resolutions this year?

We go first: 📱🔨 Repair all electronic devices that break instead of buying a new one.

A year ago, Croatia embarked on an epic euro adventure! 🇭🇷 💶

On 1 January 2023, Croatia became the 20th country to adopt the euro, a symbol of our European unity and sovereignty. On the same day, it also became the 27th European country to join the Schengen area.

It was a great day for the people of Croatia and Europeans throughout the eurozone.

The euro has made travelling and doing business in Croatia easier. It has strengthened the economy and brought stability, prosperity, and unity to our European community.

In 2024, we will mark the 25th anniversary of the euro! Since its inception on 1 January 1999, the European Monetary Union has played a vital role in our shared success.

Here's to many more years of prosperity and growth as part of the eurozone!
