Energy, influence and experience is what we need in the European Parliament🧠 The European Parliament does not operate like national Parliaments, no one group has an overall majority, it functions on finding compromises. Experience and influence matter and it’s important to elect MEPs who are on the pitch, not shouting from the sidelines. I have a long record of building majorities and am considered one of the Parliament’s most active Members. My Report Card this term: •⁠ ⁠Participated in 99.81% of plenary votes •⁠ ⁠7th highest amount of contributions to plenary debates (out of 705 MEPs) with over 200 speeches as Gaeilge.  •⁠ ⁠Only Irish MEP to regularly speak as Gaeilge in the European Parliament. •⁠ ⁠Lead author on 4 reports, one of which is a Regulation laying down rules for the exercise of the EU’s rights if the UK breaches the Withdrawal Agreement  •⁠ ⁠Acted as lead negotiator for the Parliament’s biggest party, the EPP, on 4 reports. •⁠ ⁠Lead Author on 3 Committee opinions as well as EPP negotiator for a further 10 committee reports.  •⁠ ⁠Head of the Fine Gael delegation in the European Parliament  •⁠ ⁠Chair of the UK Trade Monitoring Group  •⁠ ⁠First Vice Chair of the Delegation to the EU-UK Parliamentary Partnership Assembly  •⁠ ⁠Three-time MEP of the Year

Commissioner-designate for Budget, Piotr Serafin, demonstrated a strong vision for the next EU budget. A solid transport system is essential to enhancing European competitiveness: In a strong performance at his confirmation hearing before the European Parliament, Commissioner-designate Piotr Serafin described his vision for a new streamlined and policy-oriented EU budget. CER welcomes his confident approach and looks forward to working with him on shaping the European Commission proposal for the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) for a resilient and competitive Europe. 🔹 The next #MFF will be very different from the current one, more flexible, maximising the use of private and public capital, with grants, but also guarantees and loans. 🔹 A new Competitiveness Fund will support scaling up of companies, R&D, and the transfer of innovation into the real economy. 🔹 If Member States do not accept to increase the MFF, the European Commission will need to find resources. As proposed by the Commission, revenues from the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism and Emissions Trading System should be used to increase EU Own Resources. 🔹 Serafin was also asked how to ensure the proper management of long-term investment plans – such as for the #TEN_T network – when today investment planning can only go as far as the duration of the EU multiannual budget. He showed full understanding for the value of predictability of resources and readiness to engage in finding suitable solutions. CER Executive Director Alberto Mazzola said: 👉 "European competitiveness cannot be enhanced without a solid transport system, of which railways must be the backbone. The value of rail connectivity for regional cohesion and for the EU Single Market is fundamental and evident. The European added value of cross-border projects, of the European Rail Traffic Management System, of DAC technologies must find in the next MFF the right support. As a rule, we need to make sure that national projects are also funded and interconnected." 👉 "We look forward to working with Commissioner Serafin to ensure that the potential of rail connectivity and railways’ competitive advantages in terms of safety, sustainability, energy efficiency and security are recognised in the EU budget.” Read the news in the comments section. #OnTrackForEurope #ConfirmationHearings

Our Policy & Public Affairs Manager, Nick Elliott, participated in a roundtable discussion today, hosted by the Embassy of Brazil in London, focusing on investment opportunities in Brazil's land transportation sector. Chaired by Rafael Vitale, Director General for the Brazilian National Land Transportation Agency (ANTT), the session explored Brazil's strategy to attract international private capital for investments in toll roads and railways. As part of this strategy, the Brazilian government's New Growth Acceleration Program (Novo PAC) has a total investment target of US$ 347 billion. This includes significant subsidies to help stimulate private investment, with a large portion earmarked for the land transportation sector. The total investment target for this sector alone is US$ 68 billion and private capital will play a crucial role in achieving this. We remain actively engaged with the Brazilian government to support the success of the Novo PAC and facilitate further investment opportunities for our members.

Evaluating Public Sector Performance in Latvia and Lithuania Enhancing public sector performance helps governments improve their policies and services. With support from the European Commission’s Technical Support Instrument (#TSI) and the OECD, the Governments of Latvia  and Lithuania have developed and piloted Performance Toolkits with Key Performance Indicators (#KPIs) in four key areas: 1️⃣  Capable public services 2️⃣  Public Financial Management 3️⃣  Evidence-informed decision making 4️⃣  User-driven service delivery As citizens' expectations continue to rise and big data offers new opportunities for evidence-based decision making in government, these initiatives become increasingly vital. Ensuring evidence is mainstreamed into decision-making through strategy, policy design, budgeting, hiring, training and more is greatly supported by a coherent and standard approach that these Toolkits offer. 📽 Watch the video below for more insights! #PublicSector #PerformanceManagement #Latvia #Lithuania #OECD #OECDPublicGovernance #EuropeanComission #TSI Dace Jansone Ieva Lībķena Anna Deksne Ērika Taudiere (Todjēre) Martynas Račkauskas Darius Žeruolis Jūra Ivonaitytė Rasa Tumene Mina Shoylekova Jon Blondal Natalia Nolan Nina Handlos Thomassen Rasa Bortkevičiūtė

February is Budget month in South Africa – crucial for all businesses, but especially for manufacturers. Why? Because over half of traditional manufacturing sector leaders fine-tune their financial strategies to harmonise with post-budget economic shifts. New tax laws and incentives impact tax strategies; new raw material costs, import duties or energy prices need new cost structures and management; new investment policies affect manufacturers’ capital investment plans. The list goes on. But where company managers find Budget-led changes hard to swallow, our Navigate experts eat them up for breakfast. Our mission? Strengthen your financial strategy, making it robust against economic tides while nurturing sustainable growth. As a leader in manufacturing, your financial steadiness is pivotal.  Work with us ahead of the Budget speech to prepare your business for possible changes. #IndustrialFinancialStrength #StrategicPlanning #NavigateSuccess
