These days are good days for good news for the EU-Ukrainian relations,

and I'm very happy about this.

The oil is flowing in the Druzhba pipeline.

This means that probably or for sure we will be able to release the 90 billion loan,

which is very, very important.

The Parliament of Ukraine is delivering the reforms.

That's why in the next days we will be able to pay 2.7 million to the budget of Ukraine,

taking care partially of their liquidity.

And of course what we see today is the engagement of the businesses who are ready or interested to come to Ukraine. This is what we want to see. We speak about the reconstruction of Ukraine.

Indeed, it is already happening, but at the same time,

what we already doing is building a new Ukraine,

not just reconstruct, but construct a new Ukraine.

My message at the opening of the forum has just been that now is a good time to invest in Ukraine.

For us, it is one of the most strategic investment destinations in Europe and its innovative, full of potential and increasingly integrated into the EU's internal market,

and those who invest early will shape the Dutch future,

and of course we are enabling derisking. It is a risk.

And invest there,

but we have many instruments where we can think about the risking and the new Ukraine being built is happening while bombs are falling on the country.

The EU remains Ukraine's staunchest supporter politically and financially, and in this respect,

another good news is that we hope that with the change of the government in Hungary,

we will soon be able to open all the clusters formally.

The European Commission, we, my team, are ready,

and we hope that the Member States and the Council will act swiftly. That's so good.

Together with the reforms we are doing in Ukraine, we are actually following the recipe from the enlargement process,

meaning the country, a candidate country, has to do the reforms you were speaking about tariffs. With those reforms, we build up.

The legal certainties or the environment that the investors can come.

They will come if they see the possibility to earn some money, and they will come when their investments will be saved.

So the whole enlargement process and of course when investors and investments are there.

Then the country is prosperous, and this is the model we use.

I was speaking about what happened in Poland,

Czechia and in Slovenia through becoming a member of the EU.

I was speaking about the de-risking, so let me quickly run through the agreements we have made here today.

In cooperation with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development,

we are supporting SMEs, potentially unlocking up to €2.8 billion.

Support to the energy sector is also crucial,

and in cooperation with our partners in Slovakia, we agreed close to €100 million.

The European Investment Bank has also agreed to finance priority infrastructure projects in Ukraine with over half a billion euros.

France, Italy, Finland, Poland and Czechia also signed onto a joint plan for investments in dual use technologies through their national development banks,

and I'm happy to see these concrete agreements, which will help.

Businesses to go there and the Ukrainian economy to prosper.

So thank you for being here and for showing interest in what we are doing. I am very positive once again. I finish with this.

That we have been able to deliver on our promises €90 billion loan going on with the accession process,

providing the money based on conditionality for the budget of Ukraine.
