Actually, the enlightenment started on our continent.
And we are very clear with digital sovereignty also that what is forbidden offline
is forbidden online.
And we will not flinch what that is concerned.
We will be very steadfast to pursue this very clear demand for us.
But if I may also look at the quote of the Secretary General of NATO.
This is what Ukraine is fighting for today.
We must honor their sacrifice with our quest for an independent Europe.
And it will always remain Europe's response and purpose.
Nou ja, allemaal goede vragen. En laten we even Ursula van der Leijer erbij halen... om te vertellen wat nou dat idee is van dat 28e regime. We zullen snel ons 28e regime toevoegen. Het ultieme doel is om een nieuwe, echt Europese bedrijfsstructuur te creëren. We noemen het EU Inc. Met een enkel en simpel set van regels... die we over onze Unie zichtbaar zetten.
So that businesses can operate across member states much more easily. Our entrepreneurs, the innovative companies, will be able to register a company in any member state within 48 hours. Fully online. They will enjoy the same capital regime all across the European Union. And ultimately we need a system where the companies can do business and raise financing seamlessly across Europe. Just as easily as in uniform markets like the United States or China.
Dit samenwerking vormt de basis van de cruciaal partnerschap tussen Europa en India. En we sturen een sterk signaal naar de wereld. In een tijd waar de wereld steeds meer vervormd wordt en vervormd wordt. In deze tijd, indië en Europa kiezen dialoog.
De werelds tweede en vierde grootste economieën. Twee gianten die een partnerschap kiezen in een echte win-win-fashoofd. Het brengt samen de Indische kennis, servicen en schaal samen met Europa's technologie, kapitaal en innovatie. Het zal niveaus van groei creëren die geen andere kant alleen kan bereiken. En door deze strengheden te combineren
Two giants who choose partnership in a true win-win fashion. A strong message that cooperation is the best answer to global challenges. And speaking through a translator, the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was equally bullish. Friends, today India has concluded the largest ever free trade agreement in its history.
This historic agreement will make access to the European markets easier for our farmers and small businesses. It will create new opportunities in manufacturing and will further strengthen cooperation between our service sectors.
I took this video on the 21st of day, 10th of January. It's mid morning in Beishe Sahra, the largest cemetery in south of Tehran, the capital. And you could hear people chanting death to Khomeini, the supreme leader.
It was shocking to see most bodies brought for burial were people under 30 and 40 years old. That day they must have delivered 30 bodies that morning and not all were from Tehran. Many people came from different cities to identify bodies and take their loved ones for burial to their place of birth.
And they also brought bodies of a newlywed couple. It was really upsetting. The body of the person I went for his funeral got lost. After a few hours a friend managed to identify the body. In fact he found it in the section where women were kept. He said in the morgue where men were kept.
They were like body bags on top of each other. Many of the bodies were not even washed and still in their clothes covered with blood. I just cannot put into words images I witnessed that day. Well in the past few hours we got a voice note from a young businessman in his 30s. For his safety we won't share his personal details.
