Cancer should never be the price of a job. We welcome the agreement between @Europarl_EN and @EUCouncil to protect workers from cancer-causing chemicals. The new protective exposure limits can avert around 19,000 work-related illnesses over the next 40 years. link.europa.eu/NwtcTy

I welcome the agreement between Israel and Lebanon. This is a critical step away from escalation. Because there can be no peace in the Middle East with Lebanon in flames. My thanks to the US for the mediation. Key next steps are the disarmament of non-state groups and preserving Lebanese sovereignty and territorial integrity. The EU stands ready to support this path to lasting regional stability, also with the continued delivery of much needed humanitarian aid with € 100 million mobilised for the displaced.

Cuando el desastre golpea un rincón de Europa, todos nos unimos. Hemos aprobado nuevos fondos para ayudar a reconstruir lo que las inundaciones de la DANA en Valencia destruyeron. En total, nuestra ayuda se eleva a cerca de 1000 millones de euros. Es una expresión concreta de la solidaridad de la UE con todos los españoles que aún cargan con el peso del dolor y la pérdida. España, hoy y siempre: Europa está con vosotros.
