听听President. 鈥� The next item is the debate on Council and Commission statements on the need for targeted support to EU regions bordering Russia, Belarus and Ukraine ().

听听Adam Sz艂apka, President-in-Office of the Council. 鈥� Madam President, honourable Members, Commissioner, when it comes to EU regions bordering Russia, our first duty as a Union is to ensure that their borders are secure. In doing so, we are collectively recognising that these are our external borders.

Last October, in response to the increased instrumentalisation of migration, the Heads of State or Government expressed solidarity with Member States faced by these attempts to destabilise our societies. The European Council at the time acknowledged that exceptional situations require appropriate measures and stated its determination to ensure control of our external borders through all available means, including with the support of the European Union.

We also welcome the Commission communication on countering hybrid threats from the weaponisation of migration and strengthening security at the EU's external borders. It clarified that Member States may, for clearly defined causes, adopt exceptional, temporary and proportionate measures to fight the instrumentalisation of migration. This clarification, together with the additional funding to strengthen the protection of EU external borders, has been very important for frontline Member States, including Poland. The increasing pressure that we face at our external borders creates the need for stronger border management capacities, with the proper allocation of resources in the context of the current and the next multiannual financial framework.

Beyond border security issues, Member States' concerns have rapidly drawn attention to the particular challenges of the regions bordering Russia and Belarus, as well as Ukraine, in the context of discussions in the Council on the future of the cohesion policy. Here, I am thinking in particular of the population and economic stagnation as complex challenges that these regions have been facing since Russia launched its war of aggression against Ukraine. It is important that the Commission addresses in its proposal the challenges I just mentioned from a cohesion perspective, so that the regions most affected can better cope with them.

For its part, the Council is ready to engage in a discussion on how such support can be turned into practice.

听听Raffaele Fitto, Executive Vice-President of the Commission. 鈥� Madam President, Mr Sz艂apka, honourable Members, on behalf of the Commission, I would like to thank the European 合法博彩网站 for proposing this essential debate on the need for targeted support to EU regions bordering Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. It is an opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to those regions most affected by Russia's unjustified war against Ukraine.

But this discussion goes beyond solidarity; it is about defending Europe's stability, security and long-term economic resilience and competitiveness. These are fundamental pillars of this Commission's mandate.

The cohesion policy plays a crucial role in advancing the EU's competitiveness agenda. It does so through investments in research, innovation, small and medium enterprises, industrial policies and vital energy and digital infrastructure. The cohesion policy has also supported the regions on our eastern border, which find themselves on the front lines of new geopolitical realities. For example, the regions bordering Ukraine, which welcome large numbers of displaced people, face unique challenges. In response, the Commission, in close cooperation with the 合法博彩网站, launched the CARE Initiative within the cohesion policy, which played a critical role in providing urgent aid.

These regions have shown extraordinary resilience and solidarity, fostering strong cross-border cooperation with Ukraine that continues to thrive. We remain committed to supporting them, ensuring they can sustain and deepen this cooperation. Russia's brutal war of aggression has put the eastern border regions of Finland, the Baltic States and Poland in a particularly difficult situation. The EU acted swiftly to support them. However, significant challenges remain; even before the war, many of these regions were already experiencing depopulation. Now they face new additional difficulties. Borders that once facilitated trade and job creation are now closed. At the same time, these regions are dealing with the instrumentalisation of migration, economic downturns, and the wider impact of sanctions.

At the beginning of the mandate of this Commission, President von der Leyen tasked me with ensuring these regions receive the strategic support they need. It is now time to move forward with further concrete solutions. That is why, in my first weeks in office, one of my priorities was to visit one of these border regions. I travelled to a border crossing point in Finland, which shares a 1听340听km border with Russia. Near Lappeenranta I saw firsthand how a thriving region built on trade and tourism now faces serious economic consequences. Similar concerns were reiterated during my recent visit to Poland, and I intend to continue these visits to other eastern border regions, including Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, in the coming weeks.

I say this because it is only through this direct experience that it is possible to truly understand the difficulties and challenges these regions face, and identify tailored solutions to address these issues. The upcoming mid-term review provides a valuable opportunity for Member States to prioritise the social and economic impact of the conflict and reinforce the security and prosperity of these regions.听But we will also need to launch a broader debate.

A stronger Europe requires stronger regions, and we can only boost the EU's overall competitiveness if all our regions prosper. Engaging directly with all over this region is essential to understanding their needs and developing tailor-made solutions. Let me be clear: the borders of these regions are not their borders. They are our borders, the borders of Europe. True prosperity is built together. I look forward to hearing your perspectives.

听听Andrzej Halicki, w imieniu grupy PPE. 鈥� Panie Przewodnicz膮cy! Panie Komisarzu! Panie Ministrze! Szanowni Pa艅stwo! W imieniu Europejskiej Partii Ludowej chc臋 powt贸rzy膰 has艂o polskiej prezydencji 鈥濨ezpiecze艅stwo, Europo!鈥� 鈥� b臋dziemy powtarza膰 to wielokrotnie. Mam nadziej臋, 偶e stanie si臋 tak偶e has艂em ca艂ej Izby, nie tylko przez te sze艣膰 miesi臋cy, ale przez najbli偶sze lata. Musimy temu wyzwaniu sprosta膰 i to jest nasza odpowiedzialno艣膰 鈥� 鈥濨ezpiecze艅stwo, Europo!鈥�. Bezpiecze艅stwo tak偶e regionom przygranicznym, bo one s膮 nara偶one na eskalacj臋 strachu, na fizyczne, ale tak偶e gospodarcze straty.

Mieszka艅cy region贸w przygranicznych maj膮 dzisiaj du偶e problemy z utrzymaniem swoich przedsi臋biorstw, turystyki. Maj膮 po prostu k艂opoty听z bud偶etami rodzinnymi. Jeste艣my zobowi膮zani im t臋 pomoc udzieli膰. Obecna tutaj na sali jest Marta Wcis艂o 鈥� ten projekt staje si臋 tak偶e flagowym projektem Europejskiej Partii Ludowej. B臋dziemy si臋 upominali nie tylko o pomoc dora藕n膮, ale tak偶e o sta艂y mechanizm funduszu pomocy regionom przygranicznym. Infrastruktura graniczna to jest tak偶e kwestia bezpiecze艅stwa fizycznego. Na szcz臋艣cie po misji, kt贸ra mia艂a miejsce w listopadzie zesz艂ego roku, pierwsze 艣rodki zosta艂y uruchomione, ale to wci膮偶 kropla w morzu potrzeb. Infrastruktura graniczna musi mie膰 wsparcie z europejskiego bud偶etu, bo to bezpiecze艅stwo ca艂ej Europy, a nie tylko jednego pa艅stwa czy pojedynczego regionu. Projekt 鈥濼arcza Wsch贸d鈥� prezentowany przez premiera Tuska to projekt, kt贸ry nie jest projektem polskim. Od Finlandii przez kraje ba艂tyckie i Polsk臋 po Rumuni臋 mamy kwesti臋 skutecznego zabezpieczenia granicy wschodniej, bo Rosja jest tym zagro偶eniem dla ca艂ej Europy.

Na koniec chcia艂bym powiedzie膰 jeszcze jedn膮 rzecz. Regiony to serce naszego 偶ycia spo艂ecznego i gospodarczego. Wa偶ne jest utrzymanie polityki sp贸jno艣ci, bo to przez regiony 鈥� i to polskie regiony, kt贸re s膮 tego 艣wietnym przyk艂adem 鈥� jest najbardziej transparentna i skuteczna absorpcja 艣rodk贸w europejskich. To prawie 80% tych funduszy.

Tu apel do Pana Komisarza 鈥� ta polityka powinna by膰 skierowana do region贸w jeszcze bardziej konsekwentnie.

听听Marcos Ros Sempere, en nombre del Grupo S&D. 鈥� Se帽ora presidenta, se帽or vicepresidente ejecutivo, los tres听a帽os de invasi贸n de Ucrania tambi茅n son tres听a帽os de resistencia en las regiones fronterizas, territorios de la Uni贸n Europea cercanos a Ucrania, Rusia o Bielorrusia que sufren las consecuencias de la invasi贸n de Putin: menos inversiones, menos turismo, menos empleo,听m谩s dificultades econ贸micas. Un dato: desde el inicio del conflicto, casi seis听millones de refugiados han huido de la guerra, la mayor铆a hacia estas regiones fronterizas, una petici贸n de asilo sin precedentes.

Y ahora nosotros, con la revisi贸n del presupuesto, necesitamos m谩s medidas para apoyar a estas regiones, y la pol铆tica de cohesi贸n puede tambi茅n ser una herramienta:听apoyo econ贸mico para los pa铆ses que han acogido refugiados, fondos de la pol铆tica de cohesi贸n para ayudar a los refugiados y a las infraestructuras, incentivos econ贸micos para los pa铆ses fronterizos a la guerra.

Se帽or vicepresidente ejecutivo, la Comisi贸n Europea debe comprometerse con estas medidas para que salgamos todos m谩s fuertes de este conflicto.

听听Sebastian Tynkkynen, on behalf of the ECR Group. 鈥� Madam听President, 1听300听km. Imagine that your country would guard the longest EU border against a country that is attacking in Europe. A border that is as long as it is from Tallinn to Vienna. That's what Finland is doing for the security of whole Europe, and with an economy of a population of just 5.5 million people.

Let's face it: for Europe, Russia is the single biggest threat. The EU regions bordering Russia are on the front lines. This is not about cohesion. Keeping these regions inhabited and armed is crucial for our security. The border regions need to have infrastructure to ensure military mobility and border protection capabilities.

I urge the Commission to create a special instrument to support these regions that are guarding the whole Europe for us.

听听Riho Terras (PPE). 鈥� Madam President, there is no doubt that Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine has significantly affected all European Member States. At the same time, it is evident that the effects of the war have a much stronger influence on the countries bordering the aggression from Russia and Belarus. We are facing far more serious difficulties with regard to hybrid threats like using migration as a weapon, information and cyberattacks, and attacks on our infrastructure as you heard in the last weeks.

in the light of the threat from Russia, the EU Member States bordering with aggression have increased their defence expenditures remarkably, up to 5听% of their GDP. Since the beginning of the full-scale war of aggression, we have witnessed much weaker economic performance, GDP growth, trade, increased caution on foreign investors, decreased transportation and tourism. It is therefore absolutely necessary that we put our common resources where they are needed most. We need more investments to our border security. We need more funds and support to avoid our economies falling into a development trap.

Also resilience in resisting the horrible practice of weaponising refugees by Belarus and Russia and sabotage of undersea pipelines and cables. Also, particularly, last weekend, three small countries Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, cutting themselves off forevermore on reliance on Russia in terms of their energy.

But I hadn't thought of the suffering of businesses. No investment, no tourism. And for that reason, we must stand by them and the European Regional Facility for the Eastern Countries must be a priority for us.

听听Raffaele Fitto, Executive Vice-President of the Commission. 鈥� Madam President, honourable Members, I fully share your calls for action and your commitment to support the EU regions bordering Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. Thank you for sharing your insights on the situation in these regions, and for your reflections on how we can further support them.

For years, cohesion policy has been a cornerstone of the European project, driving economic development, reducing disparities and promoting convergence. This long-term policy must continue to deliver tangible value for all European regions, and seek specific solutions for eastern border regions, as well as regions bordering Ukraine that face different challenges.

But adapting to the new normal is not enough. Economic development and security must go hand in hand. We must use this opportunity to accelerate efforts to address existing structural issues, and we must ensure that the people living in our eastern border regions have a real choice to stay and build their future.

To achieve this, we need targeted, localised and tailor-made solutions that serve both the prosperity and the security interests of the EU. I stand ready to continue working closely with the European 合法博彩网站 on this crucial issue. Together, we can ensure that our eastern border regions receive the support they need and emerge stronger, more resilient and more competitive.

听听Adam Sz艂apka, President-in-Office of the Council. 鈥� Madam President, honourable Members, Mr Vice-President, thank you very much for this debate precisely on security. And 'Security, Europe!' is the leitmotiv of the Polish Presidency. But there are two words strongly connected with the word 'security': 'unity' and 'responsibility'. And we should remember about that.

What I heard here today was a strong call to maintain EU solidarity with Member States bordering with Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. That is very reassuring. The EU has only one border, its external border, and its protection is an absolute priority in stemming illegal migration. The key in this context is the allocation of more EU resources to the physical and electronic infrastructure at the external borders. This applies not only to the construction itself, but also to the ongoing maintenance of the capacity to protect land, sea and air borders.

The situation in the border region is exceptional and therefore specific EU support is required. This assistance should be considered in the negotiation on the future multiannual financial framework. However, the next MFF will not take effect before 2028, and we cannot wait that long. In the short term, we must make maximum use of the tools and means at our disposal to support these regions. This also includes continued financial support for the frontline Member States and intensified cooperation between Member States.

听听President. 鈥� Thank you very much, Minister. The debate is closed.

These regions鈥攑articularly in the Baltics, Poland, and Finland鈥攁re on the frontline of economic, security, and demographic pressures, requiring immediate and sustained EU support.

Russia鈥檚 weaponization of migration, economic disruption from border closures, and increased hybrid threats demand a strategic response. The 鈧�170 million allocated for border management is a step forward, but it must be complemented by long-term structural investments. We need enhanced funding for critical infrastructure, business resilience, and security reinforcement, ensuring these regions remain stable and competitive.

Furthermore, we must expand cohesion policy flexibility, allowing rapid financial assistance to address shifting threats. Border regions are not just local concerns; they are the EU鈥檚 first line of defense. We must ensure they have the resources to counter destabilization efforts and uphold our collective security.

Ateities paramoje pasienio teritorijoms turi b奴ti atsi啪velgta 寞 finansini懦 i拧tekli懦 didinim膮 pasienio savivaldyb臈ms, mokes膷i懦 lengvatas verslininkams, projekt懦 skai膷iaus didinim膮 ir paprastesnius parai拧k懦 teikimo reikalavimus bei paprastesnes l臈拧懦 skyrimo taisykles.

Tai b奴tina, nes i拧 pasienio region懦 b臈ga verslininkai, anks膷iau tur臈j臋 ten savo verslus. D臈l neai拧kios situacijos tr奴ksta u啪sienio investicij懦 ir pastebimai ma啪臈ja turizmas. Progresuoja pasienio teritorij懦 gyventoj懦 skurdimas kaip neigiamas darbo viet懦 ma啪inimo ir darbo u啪mokes膷io nedid臈jimo poveikis. T膮 lydi reik拧mingas nekilnojamojo turto kain懦 kritimas, ypa膷 拧alia karini懦 objekt懦 ir poligon懦, o tai lemia gyventoj懦 skurdim膮 ir j懦 turto vert臈s ma啪臈jim膮. Tod臈l rengiant b奴sim膮 param膮 regionams, besiribojantiems su Baltarusija, Rusija ir Ukraina, reikia atsi啪velgti 寞 pirmiau min臈tas problemas. Tai b奴tina norint i拧saugoti 拧i懦 teritorij懦 ekonomik膮. Veikti reikia skubiai.
