IN THE CHAIR: ROBERTA METSOLA
President

听听President. 鈥� I declare resumed the session of the European 合法博彩网站 adjourned on 13听February听2025.

(The sitting opened at 17:01)

听听President. 鈥� Good afternoon, dear colleagues. We start with a few announcements on my side.

First of all, dear colleagues, two years ago, on 28 February 2023, in Tempi, Greece, a tragic railway accident cost 57 people their lives and injured even more. We mark a sad anniversary today as our hearts go out to the victims, to those who lost their loved ones and to the injured who still bear the scars of that day. This House remembers them and honours them.

Over the coming months, we will celebrate also the 35th听anniversary of the assertion of state continuity of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, enshrining their independence de jure under international law throughout different illegal occupations and annexations of the 20th听century.

These anniversaries remind us again of the sacrifice of so many for the liberty that we enjoy today, and underscore our determination never to allow another generation of Europeans to be lost behind an Iron Curtain.

Tomorrow at noon, we will once again welcome national leader of Belarus, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, to this plenary, along with other brave women from Ukraine and Belarus, who are standing up for liberty in order to mark International Women's Day. May I ask that you are present. I count on you and your colleagues to be here then, because this week will also serve to reaffirm this House's steadfast support for the people of Belarus and their struggle for freedom, including political prisoners.

And to express this solidarity and to mark the International Day of Solidarity with Belarus, the European 合法博彩网站 is once again offering you, as Members of this 合法博彩网站, the opportunity to sign postcards addressed to the 1听250 political prisoners who are unfairly imprisoned by Lukashenka's regime. I urge you to join in this action to show them that their sacrifice will not remain unanswered.

Last year, this initiative was extremely successful 鈥� in the previous mandate, in the previous 合法博彩网站. I ask that we make this year's even more so. We know their names, we see their struggle and we stand with them. So this message and this initiative will send the strongest of messages that they are not alone.

(Applause)

听听President. 鈥� The minutes and the texts adopted of the sitting of 13 February 2025 are available.

Are there any comments? If not, the minutes will be deemed approved.

听听President. 鈥� The ECR and Greens/EFA groups and non-attached Members have notified me of decisions relating to changes to appointments within committees and delegations.

These decisions will be set out in the minutes of today's sitting and take effect on the date of this announcement.

听听President. 鈥� The LIBE and ENVI committees have transmitted corrigenda to texts adopted by 合法博彩网站. Pursuant to Rule 251, these corrigenda will be deemed approved unless, no later than 24 hours after their announcement, a request is made by a political group or Members reaching at least the low threshold that they be put to the vote.

The corrigenda are available on the plenary webpage. Their titles will be published in the minutes of this sitting.

听听President. 鈥� I would also like to announce that, pursuant to Rule 47(2), I have declared admissible two proposals for a Union act.

The first is on employment protection for the activities of police officers, military personnel, prison officers, and customs and border officials, classifying them as high-risk occupations in the EU. The proposal is referred to the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs.

The second is on the need to extend the period for implementation of the Recovery and Resilience Facility. This proposal is referred to the Committee on Budgets and the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, as committees responsible, and to the Committee on Employment, the Committee on the Environment, the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy and the Committee on Transport and Tourism, for opinion.

听听President. 鈥� On Wednesday, 5听March听2025, the Conference of Presidents adopted the proposal for the calendar of part-sessions for the parliamentary year 2026.

The dates are available on the plenary webpage and the deadlines are as follows: amendments, today at 7听p.m.; roll-call votes, Tuesday, 11听March at 4听p.m. The vote will then take place on Wednesday, 12听March at noon.

鈦�

I would like to inform the House that I have received multiple requests for points of order. I will go through them one by one.

First, I give the floor to Ms听Iratxe Garc铆a P茅rez.

听听Iratxe Garc铆a P茅rez (S&D). 鈥� Madam President, dear colleagues, today marks five years since the start of COVID-19. We remember those who died and honour their memory. Faced with a difficult challenge, the European Union worked together in a way we hadn't seen before. We bought vaccines together. We made a digital certificate to help travel safely. We created NextGenerationEU to help our economies recover. This initiative showed that the EU acted together to protect its citizens.

Now we face new challenges, like the threat of war. Let us not forget how we handled COVID-19. We need to be bold and stay united. By learning from that time we can build a more resilient and cohesive Europe. This will help us face any future crisis with determination and unity.

听听沤eljana Zovko (PPE). 鈥� Madam听President, dear colleagues, I would like to draw your attention to the situation of minorities in Syria. In recent days, multiple sources indicated that both the Alawite population and Syria's shrinking Christian community have been deliberately targeted.

Extremist factions associated with militant groups have reportedly executed civilians, including women and children. Christian families have endured brutal killings and violent raids at the hands of armed militants who have stormed homes, seized belongings and claimed innocent lives.

The European Union must take decisive action in support of stability and humanitarian relief efforts to alleviate the suffering of the Syrian people, including Christians and other affected communities.

Christianity in Syria and in some other parts of the Middle East-North Africa region is at a critical crossroads. It will either endure or it will vanish, leaving behind a profound religious, ethnic and cultural void.

Europe must not remain indifferent to this existential threat. An External Action Service with its press release - it is shameful that they did not take this into account.

听听Alice Kuhnke (Verts/ALE). 鈥� Madam President, dear colleagues, I take the floor under Rule 39.

The right to be who you are, to love who you want and to live your life free from discrimination is a fundamental European right. That right is clearly under attack.

At this critical moment, the decision by the European Commission to announce the withdrawal of the horizontal anti-discrimination directive came as a shock. It also represents a betrayal of all the EU citizens who are currently lacking protection against discrimination.

It is time for the EU to show global leadership against discrimination, not to back down. As the European 合法博彩网站's rapporteur for this directive, I strongly condemn this decision and I urge the European Commission to immediately reconsider it.

听听Fabio De Masi (NI). 鈥� Frau Pr盲sidentin! Ich beziehe mich auf Artikel听167 der Gesch盲ftsordnung f眉r Angelegenheiten von besonderem Interesse听鈥� eine Kollegin hat es bereits angesprochen: Wir sind Zeuge von schlimmsten Gr盲ueltaten in Syrien gegen die alevitische Minderheit geworden in den letzten Tagen. Und der European External Action Service hat ein wirklich groteskes Pressestatement herausgegeben, in dem er die Verantwortung f眉r diese Gr盲ueltaten im Prinzip implizit Pro-Assad-Kr盲ften zugesprochen hat.

Man muss nun wirklich kein Freund des Assad-Regimes sein, um zu erkennen, dass das wirklich groteske Fake News waren, und ich finde, es muss ein deutliches Signal von diesem Parlament ausgehen, dass wir so etwas nicht dulden hier in diesen heiligen Hallen.

听听Lynn Boylan (The Left). 鈥� Madam President, I wish to raise a point of order relating to the agenda item on the deteriorating situation in Gaza.

On February 24, the official mission of this 合法博彩网站's delegation for relations with Palestine, of which I am the Chair, was supposed to take place. Instead, myself, Rima Hassan, MEP, and two officials of this 合法博彩网站 were detained by the Israeli authorities and subsequently deported.

While detained by the Israeli authorities, our electronic devices held by Members and staff of the delegation were confiscated for over 90 minutes. Our passports, including an Irish diplomatic passport, were confiscated and were not returned to us until we arrived back in Brussels.

This all took place on the same day that the EU-Israel Association Council was taking place, and EU leaders were committing themselves to continue business as usual with Israel, while the Israeli authorities were not allowing us, as elected officials, to do our jobs.

So I ask you, Madam President, that you address this matter urgently.

听听President. 鈥� Thank you, I will.

听听Costas Mavrides (S&D). 鈥� Madam听President, I will be quite short because the subject has already been mentioned by some of my colleagues. It is with regard to the situation in Syria.

Based on reports by agencies that were our sources of information during the Assad regime, hundreds of people have been murdered in their homes, thousands were tortured and kidnapped, including kids and women and men. Much more were expelled by the new jihadist regime simply because the victims are Alawites, Druze or Christians.

For this reason, I will kindly ask the following: let's show our conscience by observing a one-minute silence.

听听President. 鈥� Thank you very much. Let's see how we take it. We have also a debate on this matter, and I ask all the Members to speak also during that debate.

听听President. 鈥� We now come to the order of business. The final draft agenda, as adopted by the Conference of Presidents on 6听March听2025 pursuant to Rule 163, has been distributed.

In accordance with Rule 9(9), the following report is added to the final draft agenda for a vote on Tuesday: report by Dainius 沤alimas听on the request for waiver of the immunity of Adam Bielan.

With the agreement of the political groups, I also wish to put to the House the following proposal for changes to the final draft agenda for Tuesday. The order of debates in the afternoon will change as follows.

The debate on the presentation of the proposal for a Critical Medicines Act will be taken as the second point, and the debate on the presentation of the proposal on a new common approach on returns will be taken as the third point.

If there are no objections to this, then the change will be approved.

We now move to changes requested by the political groups, starting with Wednesday.

The ECR Group has requested that Council and Commission statements on 'Recent events in Romania: the ongoing investigation into the presidential candidate' be added as the fifth point in the afternoon, before the debate on frozen Russian assets. As a consequence, the sitting would be extended to 11听p.m.

I give the floor to Gheorghe Piperea to move the request on behalf of the ECR.

听听Gheorghe Piperea, 卯n numele grupului ECR. 鈥� Doamn膬 pre葯edint膬, 卯n decurs de trei luni, Rom芒nia a reu葯it recordul de a interzice doi candida葲i, de a anula o rund膬 de alegeri 葯i de a aresta un candidat, f膬r膬 probe. Sistemul judiciar este acum o arm膬 politic膬 utilizabil膬 卯mpotriva oricui.

Ambii competitori care au c芒葯tigat turul unu al alegerilor din 24 noiembrie 2024, ambii, inclusiv Lasconi, 葯i c膬rora li s-a refuzat turul doi, consider膬 c膬 anularea alegerilor 葯i interzicerea unor candida葲i sunt ilegitime.

Precedentul rom芒nesc s-ar putea extinde 卯n toat膬 Uniunea, fapt care ar determina destr膬marea 卯ncrederii poporului 卯n democra葲ie 葯i 卯n justi葲ie. Nu ne dorim asta, stima葲i colegi.

Fundamentul democratic al Uniunii Europene este reprezentat de pluralism politic 葯i alegeri libere. Dar sistemul birocratic european nu are 卯ncredere 卯n op葲iunile omului de r芒nd, pe care 卯l vede inapt de decizii de vot responsabile.

Pentru binele mai mare, Uniunea European膬 a instituit scutul democratic european ca un fel de vaccin anti disiden葲i. Dar cu ce ne face asta diferi葲i de Uniunea Sovietic膬?

听听President. 鈥� Do any colleagues want to speak against?

Mr听艦tef膬nu葲膬, go ahead.

听听Nicolae 艦tef膬nu葲膬 (Verts/ALE). 鈥� Madam President, based on the rule of law and based on democracy, having such a debate would undermine the very principle of legality in the middle of an ongoing election. Let me tell you something: the proponent that came with this proposal tonight, his party leader听yesterday incited 'skinning alive' those who he considers responsible for this 鈥� and this in the middle of riots that were violent.

Enough with the violence. He said it was a metaphor. Well, a metaphor is what Shakespeare said, that the world is a stage. A metaphor is not when you say 'skinning people alive', when you put women down, when you put minorities down, when you go against the constitutional base of the country, when you say that ethnicities are less than people.

So enough with the hate. Let's not export the hate. Romanians deserve a European, modern, democratic life.

听听President. 鈥� Thank you. We will put the request of the ECR Group to a vote by roll call.

(合法博彩网站 rejected the request)

So the agenda is unchanged.

We move now to a request by the ESN Group 鈥� for Wednesday as well 鈥� which has requested that a Commission statement on 'Presidential elections in Romania, particularly the Constitutional Court's ruling of 8听March' be added as the second point in the afternoon.

I give the floor to听Christine Anderson to move the request.

听听Christine Anderson, on behalf of the ESN Group. 鈥� Madam听President, Romania has now barred C膬lin Georgescu, as my colleague Mr听Piperea just pointed out.听This is unprecedented in the EU Member States.

Ladies and gentlemen, if democracy were to effect change, that is the sole reason for having a democracy. You can effect change. But what we are seeing now is actually that people can vote for whoever they want and if they don't like the candidate, they just bar him or put him in jail.

As democrats, we cannot stand for this. The European Commission states that in a healthy democracy, citizens can freely choose their leaders. If the Romanian people choose Georgescu, why do we interfere and why do we stop it?

This has nothing to do with democracy. We need to have a debate on this to get back to our senses. I urge you to vote for this proposal.

听听President. 鈥� Does any colleague want to speak against?

I see a hand up there. Go ahead, Mr听Panayiotou. Sorry, Mr听Sieper. I can't see that far.

听听Lukas Sieper (NI). 鈥� Madam President, dear colleagues, yes, the moustache is gone, if you do not recognise me.

I was just wondering about that colleague that said the people elected this candidate. They didn't elect this candidate in a fair election; it was an election that was scammed by Russian propaganda and Russian bots and Russian influence. I know that you are fond of stuff like this, because it tends to help you as well in our elections.

But democracy also includes the free will of the people without manipulation, without foreign interference. That is the problem here. It is not that a fair election was taken away; it is that a scammed election was taken away. If the institutions 鈥� the Constitutional Court, the board of elections 鈥� decide like this, you have to respect it. You cannot just cry aloud because the candidate that you wanted to run was taken away.

听听President. 鈥� Thank you very much. So let's put the group's request to a vote by roll call.

(合法博彩网站 rejected the request)

So the agenda remains unchanged.

The final request is from the Greens/EFA Group. For Wednesday, it has requested that a Commission statement on 'Secessionist threats in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the recent escalation' be added as the last point in the afternoon. As a consequence, the sitting would be extended to 11 p.m.

I give the floor to Ms听Strick to move this request on behalf of the Green Group.

听听Tineke Strik, on behalf of the Verts/ALE Group. 鈥� Madam President, colleagues, amidst all major recent geopolitical developments and our discussions about increasing European security, we must make sure to pay attention to the developments in Bosnia.

In recent weeks, the situation became extremely explosive after the President of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, took further illegal steps towards judicial succession from the State of Bosnia and Herzegovina in response to his conviction by the Bosnian Constitutional Court for undermining the Dayton Peace Accords.听And as Putin's puppet in the Balkans, Dodik may do anything the Kremlin tells him, including waging war.

So this escalation requires a rapid and strong EU response, as we are not secure without a secure Bosnia.

So the Greens/EFA Group therefore proposes the debate with a title "Commission statement on secessionist threats in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the recent escalation, without resolution", and we would like to extend the meeting on Wednesday then, to 11pm.

听听President. 鈥� Thank you. I will now give the floor to any colleagues who want to speak against. Ms听Zovko?

听听沤eljana Zovko (PPE). 鈥� Madam听President, I strongly commend the intention to speak on Bosnia and Herzegovina and the situation of Bosnia-Herzegovina regarding the recent US approach towards Bosnia, towards multilateral organisation and towards the unresolved situation regarding electoral law reform in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

30 years after the Dayton Agreement, we still have a High Representative who is receiving EUR听26听000 a month to keep Bosnia and Herzegovina in what? In disarray? We have to address the real issue that is electoral law reform. We have to close our OHR office. We have to bring Bosnia and Herzegovina to the European Union because America is leaving.

The OHR office is staying only with Christian Schmidt and the Peace Implementation Council is highly influenced by Turkey and Russia. This is something that we cannot neglect in this debate. I will join the debate, I'm not speaking against the debate, but this debate and the title should be extended to: 'Urgent need to change electoral law reform in Bosnia and Herzegovina and end with international presence.'

听听President. 鈥� Thank you. There is an issue with the timing here because, with the deadlines we have, the title cannot be changed.

So we vote on the Greens' request by a show of hands.

(合法博彩网站 approved the request)

The agenda is now adopted and the order of business is thus established.

(The sitting was briefly suspended)

听听Andrius Kubilius, Member of the Commission. 鈥� Mr President, honourable Members, in recent weeks, many communities have faced hardship caused by the devastating effects of climate change. The recent cyclones 鈥� Garance in R茅union and Chido in Mayotte 鈥� serve as stark reminders of the vulnerability faced by our outermost regions.

Let me express the European Commission's unwavering solidarity with our fellow Europeans in R茅union and Mayotte. These regions are on the frontline of climate change, facing extreme weather events and their devastating impacts. As a Union, we are committed to assisting in their recovery from the current disasters. At the same time, we stand ready to support them in building resilience, improving preparedness and adapting.

In immediate terms, the European Union can offer support upon request from the French authorities. For example, the Copernicus Emergency Management Service has been instrumental in providing satellite-based damage assessments, ensuring a rapid and effective response. In addition, the European Union Civil Protection Mechanism enables swift coordination of aid, including the deployment of disaster response experts and critical equipment. We have already demonstrated the effectiveness of this mechanism in Mayotte. Five European Union Member States 鈥� Belgium, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and Sweden 鈥� responded swiftly to Cyclone Chido, providing essential emergency supplies such as family tents and medical shelters. This is European solidarity in action. Concrete, practical support when it is needed most.

However, beyond immediate assistance, our focus must also be on long-term resilience. First, we are mobilising financial resources to aid recovery efforts. The European Regional Development Fund and the European Social Fund Plus are key instruments for reconstruction. The RESTORE regulation 鈥� which Vice-President Fitto had the pleasure of discussing with many of you 鈥� is allowing major flexibilities for Mayotte. The European Union Solidarity Fund, established as a post-disaster relief instrument, stands ready to provide financial support. Last Friday, France submitted an application to the European Union Solidarity Fund regarding the damage caused by Cyclone Chido in December 2024. The Commission will now proceed with an assessment of the application.

In the longer term, the Commission is currently working on the first European climate adaptation plan to enhance preparedness and protection for our communities. This is being developed alongside the preparedness Union strategy, which will enable a more proactive approach to crisis management across the European Union. Among the key risks identified are climate change, extreme weather events and environmental degradation, all of which demand our urgent attention.

Second, disaster risk management is a key priority under cohesion policy, allowing Member States to allocate resources according to their specific risks. A total of 21 Member States, including France, have planned direct investments in disaster risk management, with a total of EUR听14.4听billion allocated between 2021 and 2027. These investments focus on prevention and preparedness, including nature-based solutions that not only reduce risks but also offer wide environmental and societal benefits. The mid-term review of cohesion policy will also provide Member States with an opportunity to allocate additional resources to meet emerging needs. For every euro invested in disaster prevention, the return in avoided recovery costs can range from 2 to 10 euros. These investments are already making a difference: by strengthening resilience, we are reducing the flood risk for over 40 million people and lowering wildfire vulnerability for over 130 million people.

And third: beyond financial support, cohesion policy promotes climate adaptation through nature-based solutions and the development of resilient infrastructure. To ensure the effectiveness of investments, Member States intending to invest in risk management are required to submit risk management plans guiding their decisions. This is a precondition for receiving cohesion policy support. Additionally, under the current programming period, all EU-funded infrastructure projects must undergo a climate-proofing assessment. This ensures climate neutrality and resilience, aligning with the 'Do No Significant Harm' principle. To support these efforts technical assistance is available.

Honourable Members, cohesion policy will continue to strengthen the resilience of our Member States and regions, reducing their vulnerability to climate change and future disasters. Let me assure you that the Commission remains fully committed to supporting disaster risk management efforts and enhancing the European Union's resilience to large-scale disasters. Together, through solidarity and strategic investment, we can build a safer and more resilient future for all.

听听Isabelle Le Callennec, au nom du groupe PPE. 鈥� Monsieur le Pr茅sident, le 28听f茅vrier听2025, un cyclone d鈥檜ne intensit茅 in茅dite s鈥檈st abattu sur l鈥櫭甽e de La R茅union. Il aura fait cinq听victimes et de tr猫s lourds dommages. L鈥櫭塼at fran莽ais a annonc茅 200听millions听d鈥檈uros et des avances pour les agriculteurs. La r茅gion a vot茅 en commission permanente, ce 5听mars, 100听millions d鈥檈uros consacr茅s 脿 la reconstruction de l鈥櫭甽e. Sa pr茅sidente, Huguette听Bello, a 茅galement fait appel 脿 l鈥橴nion europ茅enne.

La R茅union peut et doit pouvoir b茅n茅ficier du Fonds de solidarit茅 de l鈥橴nion comme du dispositif Restore: le FSUE pour la remise en 茅tat rapide des b芒timents, le soutien au relogement des familles et les aides d鈥檜rgence vers茅es aux sinistr茅s, notamment par les CCAS; le dispositif Restore pour fl茅cher utilement les fonds du FEDER, du FSE Plus et du Feader vers la reconstruction la plus rapide possible des infrastructures et des 茅quipements publics, mais aussi pour soutenir les entreprises fortement touch茅es. L鈥檃cc猫s aux fonds europ茅ens est souvent r茅put茅 difficile et complexe. L鈥橴nion europ茅enne, en partenariat avec les pouvoirs publics fran莽ais, a l脿 l鈥檕ccasion de prouver le contraire. Le retour 脿 une vie normale sur l鈥櫭甽e de La R茅union en d茅pend.

脌 l鈥檋eure o霉 la situation g茅opolitique accapare les esprits, il ne faudrait pas oublier notre devoir de solidarit茅 envers les sinistr茅s des r茅gions europ茅ennes qui subissent des catastrophes naturelles, 脿 commencer par celles d鈥檕utre-mer. Les 茅v茅nements subis par l鈥櫭甽e de Mayotte sont encore dans toutes les m茅moires. Pour les territoires ultrap茅riph茅riques, Monsieur le Commissaire, simplification, c茅l茅rit茅 et efficience.

听听Nora Mebarek, au nom du groupe S&D. 鈥� Monsieur le Pr茅sident, Monsieur le Commissaire, le d茅r猫glement climatique frappe encore et toujours plus fort. La R茅union vient d鈥檈n faire l鈥檃m猫re exp茅rience apr猫s le passage d茅vastateur du cyclone Garance. Cinq morts, des centaines de sinistr茅s, des dizaines de milliers de foyers priv茅s d鈥櫭﹍ectricit茅, la distribution d鈥檈au potable affect茅e, des infrastructures ravag茅es et une agriculture mise 脿 genoux. L鈥櫭甽e est d茅figur茅e, la population durement 茅prouv茅e: voil脿 pourquoi il est important que notre Parlement puisse exprimer toute sa solidarit茅 avec les R茅unionnaises et les R茅unionnais. L鈥橢urope doit 锚tre au rendez-vous de la d茅tresse engendr茅e par ces catastrophes 脿 r茅p茅tition.

Comme pour Mayotte apr猫s Chido, l鈥櫭塼at fran莽ais doit demander la mobilisation du Fonds de solidarit茅 de l鈥橴nion europ茅enne pour aider La R茅union 脿 reconstruire. Nous devons aussi activer des mesures Restore pour r茅parer aujourd鈥檋ui, mais surtout pour pr茅parer demain: indemniser les pertes agricoles et soutenir les fili猫res dans leur reprise d鈥檃ctivit茅, reconstruire en mieux pour prot茅ger davantage les populations, et permettre 脿 l鈥櫭甽e d鈥檃cc茅l茅rer son adaptation aux nouvelles r茅alit茅s climatiques.

Au-del脿 de l鈥檜rgence imm茅diate, cette catastrophe nous rappelle une fois de plus qu鈥檌l est imp茅ratif de mettre en place une politique europ茅enne plus ambitieuse pour nos r茅gions ultrap茅riph茅riques, qui sont en premi猫re ligne face au d茅r猫glement climatique. Nous devons renforcer nos capacit茅s d鈥檃nticipation, d鈥檃daptation et de reconstruction en investissant durablement dans des infrastructures r茅silientes, des dispositifs d鈥檃lerte plus performants et des m茅canismes de soutien plus r茅actifs.

Face 脿 ce drame, la solidarit茅 europ茅enne ne doit pas 锚tre un v艙u pieux, mais une r茅ponse concr猫te. Aux R茅unionnaises et aux R茅unionnais nous ne devons pas offrir notre seule compassion, mais l鈥檃ssurance que l鈥橴nion ne laissera pas tomber ses r茅gions ultrap茅riph茅riques, 脿 commencer par l鈥櫭甽e de La R茅union.

听听Marie-Luce Brasier-Clain, au nom du groupe PfE. 鈥� Monsieur le Pr茅sident, chers coll猫gues, c鈥檈st la deuxi猫me听catastrophe naturelle en deux听mois qui frappe le territoire fran莽ais. Apr猫s Mayotte, le passage du cyclone Garance, le 28听f茅vrier听2025, a r茅v茅l茅 la vuln茅rabilit茅 de La R茅union face aux al茅as climatiques. Avec des rafales atteignant 230听km/h au Piton Sainte-Rose, il a caus茅 la mort de cinq听personnes et d鈥檌mportants d茅g芒ts mat茅riels, de l鈥檕rdre de centaines de millions d鈥檈uros: 160听000听foyers priv茅s d鈥櫭﹍ectricit茅, 310听000 sans eau potable, des routes d茅truites et des pertes agricoles estim茅es 脿 des dizaines de millions d鈥檈uros.

脌 l鈥檋eure o霉 nous parlons, des milliers de foyers subissent des coupures d鈥檈au, d鈥櫭﹍ectricit茅 et de communications. Il est urgent d鈥檌nvestir dans des infrastructures r茅silientes, notamment paracycloniques, et de garantir une autonomie 茅nerg茅tique pour mieux pr茅parer l鈥櫭甽e 脿 ces 茅pisodes extr锚mes. Cette pr茅paration passe bien s没r aussi par l鈥檃cc茅l茅ration du d茅ploiement des fonds europ茅ens. Je pense ici au dispositif Restore, que les r茅centes catastrophes sur le sol europ茅en ont rendu plus n茅cessaire que jamais. L鈥檕utre-mer est un atout pour l鈥橢urope, ne les oublions pas.

听听Gr茅gory Allione, au nom du groupe Renew. 鈥� Monsieur le Pr茅sident, chers coll猫gues, le 28听f茅vrier, 脿 peine plus de deux听mois apr猫s que le cyclone Chido a ravag茅 Mayotte, l鈥櫭甽e de La R茅union a 茅t茅 balay茅e par la temp锚te Garance. Elle a touch茅 de plein fouet 900听000听habitants et caus茅 la mort de cinq personnes. 脌 ce triste bilan s鈥檃joute un lourd bilan mat茅riel: routes coup茅es, maisons d茅truites, coupures d鈥櫭﹍ectricit茅 et d鈥檈au courante鈥� C鈥檈st aussi tout le secteur agricole r茅unionnais qui a 茅t茅 frapp茅. Des rafales de vent 脿 plus de 200听km/h n鈥檕nt laiss茅 aucune chance aux cultures et aux plantations de bananes, de fraises, de tomates et de canne 脿 sucre. Au nord de l鈥櫭甽e, typiquement, les planteurs de canne ont perdu pr猫s de 90听% de leur r茅colte.

Cette situation tragique, force est de le constater, ne rel猫ve plus de l鈥檈xceptionnel. Les catastrophes naturelles font dor茅navant partie de notre quotidien, boulevers茅 par les cons茅quences du changement climatique. En particulier, les r茅gions ultrap茅riph茅riques, de par leurs caract茅ristiques g茅ographiques, sont en premi猫re ligne face au changement climatique. Elles nous 茅clairent avec un temps d鈥檃vance sur les probl猫mes auxquels l鈥檈nsemble des r茅gions de l鈥橴nion seront confront茅es prochainement. En les soutenant aujourd鈥檋ui, nous investissons dans la r茅silience de l鈥橴nion pour notre avenir.

Ma pr茅sence r茅p茅t茅e ici, devant cette assembl茅e, alors que c鈥檈st mon premier mandat, atteste tristement ce ph茅nom猫ne. Depuis septembre dernier, c鈥檈st 脿 cinq reprises que je me suis adress茅 脿 vous 脿 la fois pour livrer un message de soutien aux r茅gions et aux communaut茅s touch茅es par de telles catastrophes, mais aussi pour exhorter l鈥橴nion europ茅enne 脿 锚tre 脿 la hauteur de ce d茅fi, notamment gr芒ce 脿 la strat茅gie 脿 venir sur la pr茅paration de l鈥橴nion et au prochain budget europ茅en.

Il faut continuer 脿 se pr茅parer activement et 脿 mettre l鈥檃ccent sur la pr茅paration et la r茅paration. Nous devons renforcer notre soutien aux communaut茅s et aux r茅gions touch茅es par de telles catastrophes, notamment via le m茅canisme de protection civile de l鈥橴nion, le Fonds de solidarit茅 et une plus grande flexibilit茅 dans l鈥檜tilisation des fonds de coh茅sion. D鈥檃utre part, nous devons instaurer une v茅ritable culture de la pr茅paration, afin que tous les citoyens, en particulier dans les r茅gions les plus expos茅es aux risques naturels, soient en mesure de se pr茅munir, de se pr茅parer et de r茅agir face aux 茅v茅nements climatiques. En tant que sapeur-pompier, je peux vous assurer que chaque geste compte et peut sauver des vies.

听听Marie Toussaint, au nom du groupe Verts/ALE. 鈥� Monsieur le Pr茅sident, voici 脿 nouveau La R茅union frapp茅e par un cyclone d鈥檜ne intensit茅 sans pr茅c茅dent. L鈥檃n dernier, Belal avait d茅j脿 provoqu茅 de graves d茅g芒ts, mais Garance est pire encore. Apr猫s Chido 脿 Mayotte, voil脿 un nouvel 茅pisode climatique qui d茅fie les habitudes dans l鈥檕c茅an Indien. Quand comprendrons-nous que nous devons acc茅l茅rer, plut么t que mettre en pause, la lutte contre le d茅r猫glement climatique?

Le peuple r茅unionnais a perdu cinq des siens. Des milliers de foyers ont perdu l鈥檃cc猫s 脿 l鈥櫭﹍ectricit茅 et 脿 l鈥檈au. Les paysans perdent 脿 nouveau leurs r茅coltes, des chouchous 脿 la canne, et 脿 Saint-Beno卯t, l鈥檜ne des villes les plus pauvres de l鈥櫭甽e, des centaines de familles vivent encore en centre d鈥檋茅bergement.

La France a d茅clar茅 l鈥櫭﹖at de calamit茅 naturelle. Elle doit aussi d茅clarer le blocage des prix, et l鈥橢urope doit pr锚ter main forte. Nous devons aussi imp茅rativement d茅velopper une culture du risque. D鈥檃bord, dans l鈥檃m茅nagement du territoire: il faut cesser de construire en zone inondable et dans les ravines, tenir compte des conclusions des scientifiques et investir l鈥檃rgent public dans la protection des populations et de la nature, plut么t que dans de nouveaux projets routiers, inutiles. Ensuite, dans la solidarit茅, parce que les plus vuln茅rables sont toujours en premi猫re ligne; alors pla莽ons-les au c艙ur de la future strat茅gie europ茅enne d鈥檃daptation au d茅r猫glement climatique.

Chers coll猫gues, ne faisons pas de La R茅union un nouveau symbole de notre inaction, mais au contraire pla莽ons-la au c艙ur de toutes nos actions.

听听Younous Omarjee, au nom du groupe The Left. 鈥� Monsieur le Pr茅sident, permettez-moi tout d鈥檃bord, en tant que R茅unionnais, de remercier l鈥檈nsemble des groupes politiques pour ce d茅bat, qui dit la solidarit茅 du Parlement europ茅en avec les R茅unionnais et les R茅unionnaises, 茅prouv茅s par les d茅g芒ts immenses caus茅s par le cyclone Garance. Mes pens茅es vont avant tout, ce soir, vers les victimes, vers les familles endeuill茅es ainsi que vers celles et ceux qui ont tout perdu. De cette tribune, je veux leur dire que nous sommes 脿 leurs c么t茅s et que tous les moyens de solidarit茅 de l鈥橴nion europ茅enne sont imm茅diatement disponibles, comme vous l鈥檃vez dit, Monsieur le Commissaire.

Je veux saluer la d茅cision de la pr茅sidente du conseil r茅gional de La R茅union, Huguette听Bello, d鈥檃ctiver le fonds Restore, que j鈥檃i eu l鈥檋onneur de d茅fendre ici, devant ce Parlement, en tant que rapporteur, et qui va permettre de mobiliser imm茅diatement 100听millions听d鈥檈uros: 100听millions听d鈥檈uros pour venir en aide aux familles qui ont perdu leur maison, r茅parer les routes d茅truites et pouvoir r茅parer les infrastructures endommag茅es. Je veux aussi saluer les modifications que nous avons apport茅es au Feader, qui va permettre de venir imm茅diatement en aide aux agriculteurs en leur attribuant 40听000听euros par exploitation agricole sinistr茅e.

Pour conclure, Monsieur le Pr茅sident, je veux dire que ces catastrophes naturelles nous rappellent le devoir que nous avons de continuer 脿 agir contre le r茅chauffement plan茅taire, et que nous devons placer les 卯les particuli猫rement fragiles au c艙ur de la politique d鈥檃daptation au r茅chauffement climatique. Je veux terminer en disant aux R茅unionnaises et aux R茅unionnais que je salue leur courage et leur r茅silience. Ils se tiennent debout, et c鈥檈st ainsi qu鈥檌ls pourront se relever.

听听Irmhild Bo脽dorf, im Namen der ESN-Fraktion. 鈥� Herr Pr盲sident! Traumhafte Str盲nde, tropisches Klima, Vulkanlandschaften, schwungvolle Musik, kreolische T盲nze, herrliches Essen听鈥� wer m枚chte nicht Urlaub auf den Vanille-Inseln machen? Eine davon ist die Insel La R茅union. Sie liegt im Indischen Ozean und ist eine franz枚sische Enklave. Atemberaubend sei ein Urlaub dort听鈥� so wirbt die Insel auf ihrer Webseite. Aber听鈥� auch das wird dort vermeldet听鈥� die Insel wird von Zyklonen gepr盲gt. Faszinierend und gef眉rchtet seien diese, aber eben auch nicht selten, und deshalb werden die Verhaltensregeln beim Auftreten von Zyklonen abgestuft in f眉nf Eskalationsstufen 鈥� von gelb bis blau 鈥� gleich mitgeliefert auf dieser Seite.

Just ein solcher Zyklon suchte die Insel in der vergangenen Woche heim. Windgeschwindigkeiten von 眉ber 200听Stundenkilometern sorgten f眉r 脺berschwemmungen, Strom- und Wasserausf盲lle, und tats盲chlich sind leider auch f眉nf Todesopfer zu beklagen.

Doch was macht die EU daraus? Statt unb眉rokratisch zu helfen, so wie es Frankreich sofort getan hat, beeilt sich die EU erst einmal, einen Zusammenhang zwischen diesem Wetterereignis und einem menschengemachten Klimawandel herzustellen. Statt einfach hinzunehmen, dass Zyklone die Insel schon immer gepr盲gt haben, h枚ren wir die ewig gleiche Leier vom menschengemachten Klimawandel.

Klima 盲ndert sich stets. Niemand von uns kann genau sagen oder gar ausrechnen, wie gro脽 unser Einfluss darauf ist. Niemand von uns kann die Frage beantworten, ob wir mit unseren Ma脽nahmen zum vermeintlichen Klimaschutz unserer Umwelt, unserem Wetter, unserer Heimat nicht sogar Schaden zuf眉gen.

Schaden werden wir aber auf jeden Fall nehmen, wenn wir es zulassen, dass demokratisch gew盲hlte Ministerpr盲sidenten wie C膬lin Georgescu in Rum盲nien ihr Amt nicht antreten d眉rfen und sogar von der Wiederholungswahl ausgeschlossen werden. Da zieht ein Sturm auf in Europa, und das ist der Sturm, den Europa f眉rchten muss, denn der kann sich sehr schnell zu einem Zyklon entwickeln, dessen Folgen dramatisch sein d眉rften.

听听Andrius Kubilius, Member of the Commission. 鈥� Mr President, honourable Members, thank you for sharing your insights during this very meaningful discussion. And thank you for advocating for those in some of our most vulnerable regions.

The recent cyclones affecting Mayotte and R茅union remind us of the urgent need to reinforce disaster-resilience and climate-adaptation measures across the Union.

The European Union's response to these events demonstrates our unwavering solidarity and commitment to supporting affected communities, not only in the immediate aftermath, but also in the long-term rebuilding process.

Through disaster risk-management investments and strategic climate adaptation planning, we are working to reduce vulnerability and strengthen preparedness. The importance of early warning systems, nature-based solutions and targeted financial instruments cannot be overstated. They are essential components of a comprehensive approach to disaster resilience, ensuring that regions can withstand future challenges.

The Commission remains a steadfast partner in these efforts. We will continue to mobilise resources, provide technical assistance and foster collaboration between Member States. Our goal is clear: to build a more resilient and better prepared Europe in the face of an increasingly unpredictable climate.

As always, we count on the cooperation and support of the 合法博彩网站 as we strive to achieve this goal. Let us work together to protect our people, our communities and our shared future.

PREDSED脕: MARTIN HOJS脥K
Podpredseda

(Rokovanie pokra膷ovalo od 17.58 h.)

听听President. 鈥� The next item is the debate on the Commission statement on cutting red tape and simplifying business in the EU: the first Omnibus proposals ().

Dear colleagues, we will start the debate on the Commission statement without the Commission present. I have to say this is really appalling. This is not really a time for us to sit and relax, and I think it is going to be made quite clear to the Commission that it is unacceptable not to have a Commissioner here for this actually really important debate.

膸al拧铆m bodom programu je vyhl谩senie Komisie o zni啪ovan铆 byrokracie a zjednodu拧ovan铆 podnikania v E脷: prv茅 s煤hrnn茅 n谩vrhy.

听听Manon Aubry (The Left). 鈥� Monsieur le Pr茅sident, je crois que nous 茅tions tous l脿 en train d鈥檃ttendre que la Commission europ茅enne daigne s鈥檌nt茅resser 脿 nos d茅bats, daigne venir dans l鈥檋茅micycle et daigne venir pr茅senter le plus grand paquet de d茅r茅gulations qu鈥檈lle听ait jamais eu.

Je ne sais pas si la commissaire est en train d鈥檃voir des r茅unions avec des lobbys ou avec des banques pour continuer 脿 d茅r茅guler le devoir de vigilance, mais je pense qu鈥檕n ne peut pas avoir de d茅bat aussi important que celui-ci sans la pr茅sence de la Commission europ茅enne.

Aussi, je vous demanderai s鈥檌l est possible d鈥檈nvisager de reprogrammer ce d茅bat, pour s鈥檃ssurer que la Commission europ茅enne sera pr茅sente et que, au bout d鈥檜n moment, elle arr锚te de nous manquer de respect, comme elle l鈥檃 fait 脿 de trop nombreuses reprises, malheureusement.

听听President. 鈥� I was informed that the reason is a traffic jam, not a meeting with lobbyists. I'm sorry to disappoint you there.

But I still believe that there are enough Commission officials listening to this broadcast anyway. And I think that this House should not be stuck because of this.

So I would like to give the floor to Tomas Tob茅 to open the debate.

听听Tomas Tob茅, on behalf of the PPE Group. 鈥� Mr听President, Europe is falling behind in growth and competitiveness, and in these uncertain times, we must act decisively and, of course, try to boost our economy. Europe needs a game changer and the Omnibus proposal is a step in the right direction, but more is needed.

Growth, not bureaucracy, will drive our economy forward and power the green transition. To deliver, we need two key things. First, clarity and breathing room for our European companies. The 'stop-the-clock' proposal must enter into force as soon as possible. That is why EPP is calling for a faster approach under an urgent procedure.

Second, we have to deliver on content. We can do more to simplify this legislation and the EPP will push for further measures in the upcoming negotiations. We can, and we also call on all constructive forces of this House to join us in this.

Europeans expect us to protect their jobs and improve their lives. The EPP is ready to lead and try to unlock the potential of our economy. This is also what is best for climate and for sustainability. I would argue that a growing European economy is the best climate policy that we could have. On our continent, we have the highest standard and also the most ambitious climate policy in the world. Taking down European economy is counter-productive.

So the big debate here now, and especially I'm turning to my friends and colleagues on the Left, now the question is: will you stand for growth and jobs or red tape and bureaucracy? Europe cannot afford to wait. It is time to act.

听听Gabriele Bischoff, on behalf of the S&D Group. 鈥� Mr听President, colleagues, who does not like to have simple legislation with a high level of legal certainty? We call it 'the art of doing legislation'. Anyone? I don't think so, even though the Commission is not here.

We as S&D support this. We engage in simplification, and we want to better protect SMEs from multinationals putting their obligations on them. But 鈥� surprise! 鈥� if you really look at the package, you can see that quite a few of these proposals don't deliver on simplification. And Omnibus: I think the term is to maximise people's confusion because they don't know what an 'omnibus' is here. If you look at these four very different legal proposals, you will find out that these are legal proposals we worked on. We found compromises in this House. We found majorities in the last mandate.

If you look at two of these four omnibus packages 鈥� especially if you look at the due diligence proposals 鈥� it is pure deregulation. It is not simplification. And it's not rational proposals for simplification: it affects real people. You're talking about growth and jobs; we are talking about growth and good jobs, also for the fruit picker from Morocco, also for the child that has to dig minerals or the transport worker that works here and delivers our products.听These proposals were written by multinationals, by business lobbyists that lobbied for that for a long time.

And EPP, Mr听Tob茅, instead of talking with the other political groups, like S&D, like Renew and the Greens, you cowboy-like march through without any talking to come up with a fast procedure here. But I think the art of doing law in Europe was finding good compromises. It was not the cowboy style of marching through and just push, push, push without having good legislation. Because what good legislation can come out of this 鈥� without any consultation, without any legal assessments here 鈥� to march through?

I have to say, Mr听Tob茅, but also to Mr听Weber, it has consequences if you leave how we did legislation in the past and you want to do it with the far right in this House. You have the choice: to negotiate with us for simplification, for better protecting SMEs, or you march through with the right here, but this will have consequences for the whole legal term. In this sense, I hope you come to your senses.

听听Tobiasz Boche艅ski, on behalf of the ECR Group. 鈥� Mr听President, nearly all Members of the European 合法博彩网站 agree that we have to rapidly change the direction of the EU. The Commission and the bureaucracy it created generate time spent on idleness and overcoming obstacles, which were invented in the mind of the leftists.

Because of that reckless attitude, we, the Europeans are in huge danger. EU is losing the international race. China and US are growing faster, more stable and more innovative. Many nations are mocking the EU with such excessive bureaucracy. Our continent has become a sick man of the world.

We urgently need to deregulate our economy, we have to break the chains that hinder our growth. The Commission is proposing the Omnibus package. It is a step in the right direction, but it's a very small step. It's not enough. The Omnibus initiative is shallow. You are trying to avoid making 鈥� Madam is absent, of course 鈥� you are trying to avoid making hard decisions.

We need new deregulations with which we shout: cut, cut, cut and, once again, cut. We have to throw a lot of directives into trash where they belong. There is a lot of work ahead of us to get rid of the unnecessary burdens from our economy. The Omnibus proposal needs to be amended and extended.

听听Pascal Canfin, au nom du groupe Renew. 鈥� Monsieur le Pr茅sident, je voudrais m鈥檃dresser aujourd鈥檋ui aux repr茅sentants du PPE qui sont devant moi pour dire que vous avez le choix, aujourd鈥檋ui, d鈥檃ller vite, avec nous, dans ce processus de simplification sans tomber dans les outrances que nous venons d鈥檈ntendre de la part des groupes de la droite et de l鈥檈xtr锚me droite. Vous avez le choix, et nous, Renew, nous sommes pr锚ts 脿 aller tr猫s vite, sur la base des propositions de la Commission. On peut discuter des d茅tails, mais le point d鈥櫭﹒uilibre, par exemple sur la CSRD, qui est l鈥檜n des textes de ce paquet 芦omnibus禄, nous convient globalement, puisqu鈥檌l y a certes des reports, mais les 茅l茅ments qui nous semblaient absolument essentiels, comme le principe dit de la double mat茅rialit茅, sont maintenus.

Autrement, vous avez le choix de ne pas faire cette n茅gociation avec nous, mais avec l鈥檈xtr锚me droite. Si vous n茅gociez avec l鈥檈xtr锚me droite, alors cela veut dire que vous cassez la capacit茅 脿 avoir une confiance dans cette majorit茅 von听der听Leyen, qui a 茅lu la pr茅sidente de la Commission. Or vous avez besoin de cette majorit茅 von听der听Leyen; l鈥橢urope a besoin de cette majorit茅 von der Leyen pour r茅pondre 脿 la crise g茅opolitique que nous connaissons et construire cette Europe-puissance dont on a plus que jamais besoin. Ce n鈥檈st pas avec l鈥檈xtr锚me droite que vous allez le faire. Ce n鈥檈st pas avec ceux qui viennent de rappeler que la pire responsabilit茅 sur le secteur de l鈥檃cier, ce serait le texte sur la CSRD, alors que ce sont 茅videmment les amis de l鈥檈xtr锚me droite, comme Donald听Trump, qui veulent imposer des droits de douane qui vont faire tr猫s mal au secteur de l鈥檃cier.

Vous avez le choix: soit vous faites une simplification intelligente avec nous, soit vous faites la tron莽onneuse avec l鈥檈xtr锚me droite. C鈥檈st l鈥橦istoire qui vous regarde.

听听Marie Toussaint, au nom du groupe Verts/ALE. 鈥� Monsieur le Pr茅sident, chers coll猫gues, je vais moi aussi m鈥檃dresser 脿 la droite europ茅enne, faute de pouvoir m鈥檃dresser 脿 la Commission. Sous couvert de simplification, ce que vous proposez, c鈥檈st un affaissement in茅dit des protections de l鈥櫭ヽonomie europ茅enne. Alors que l鈥橢urope est menac茅e, vous choisissez la d茅r茅gulation plut么t que la souverainet茅. En effet, vous nous proposez d鈥檃bandonner les rares outils qui nous permettent, par exemple, de refuser l鈥檈ntr茅e de produits issus du travail forc茅 des Ou茂ghours sur le march茅 europ茅en et la concurrence d茅loyale du gaz de schiste am茅ricain ou des firmes voyous fa莽on Rana Plaza. Et vous osez appeler cela la d茅fense de l鈥檈mploi? Ressaisissez-vous!

Oui, nous avons besoin de simplifier et nous le dirons tous ici aujourd鈥檋ui. Cependant, vous ne simplifiez pas; vous avez d茅cid茅 d鈥檈mprunter 脿 tombeau ouvert l鈥檃utoroute de la d茅r茅gulation. Ce faisant, vous mettez 脿 mal notre souverainet茅, nos valeurs et la transition vers une 茅conomie responsable, parce que,听en d茅faisant ce que nous avions commenc茅 脿 construire, vous d茅couragez et vous sanctionnez les entreprises et les investisseurs responsables qui ont d茅j脿 engag茅 le changement. Pour r茅sumer, vous sanctionnez la vertu et vous encouragez le vice.

Vous osez 茅crire que les entreprises qui ne respecteront pas leurs obligations climatiques, Madame la Commissaire, pourront poursuivre leurs activit茅s en toute tranquillit茅. Faut-il vraiment encourager les activit茅s climaticides? Vous avez 茅galement pour objectif de r茅duire de 90听% le nombre d鈥檈ntreprises concern茅es par des obligations de transparence, dont des secteurs 脿 haut risque, comme l鈥檌ndustrie mini猫re.

Nous ne sommes pas dupes. Si vous choisissez effectivement l鈥檃lliance avec l鈥檈xtr锚me droite, vous ferez le choix non pas de r茅duire la bureaucratie, mais bien d鈥櫭﹖endre sans limite le domaine de l鈥檌mpunit茅. Cette politique, nous la combattrons.

听听Marcin Sypniewski, w imieniu grupy ESN. 鈥� Panie Przewodnicz膮cy! Bruksela obiecuje deregulacj臋, ale wygl膮da tak jak wilk, kt贸ry za艂o偶y艂 owcz膮 sk贸r臋 na chwil臋. Komisja Europejska, kt贸ra od dekad d艂awi nas wszystkich regulacjami, teraz m贸wi, 偶e chce je upro艣ci膰. To tak, jakby podpalacz nagle og艂osi艂, 偶e zostaje stra偶akiem. Omnibus to tak naprawd臋 nie jest 偶adna rewolucja. Jest to krok w dobrym kierunku, ale nie jest to 偶adna rewolucja. To raczej kosmetyczne poprawki. Unia Europejska nie chce ci膮膰 biurokracji, ona chce ni膮 lepiej zarz膮dza膰. I omnibus to takie delikatne przycinanie formularzy, a nie prawdziwe ci臋cie biurokracji i regulacji.

Je艣li naprawd臋 chcemy uwolni膰 biznes, potrzebujemy pi艂y 艂a艅cuchowej, takiej, jak ma prezydent Milei, a nie no偶yka do papieru. Je偶eli m贸wimy o harmonizacji regulacji, to oznacza, 偶e zamiast trzech dokument贸w b臋dziemy mieli jedn膮, ale za to napisan膮 bardzo ma艂膮 czcionk膮. To nie jest 偶adne rozwi膮zanie.

听听Maria Lu铆s Albuquerque, Member of the Commission. 鈥� Mr President, honourable Members, apologies for the delay. Still, thank you for the opportunity to join you today to outline the main elements of the Commission's communication on implementation and simplification.

The strong simplification dimension of the 2025 Commission work programme and our first Omnibus proposals, which we presented at the end of last month.

Allow me to begin with the bigger picture. The world is changing in front of our eyes. We see dramatic shifts in the geopolitical landscape. We need to treat these developments as a call to action. The freedoms that we enjoy and the values that we cherish can no longer be taken for granted in a complex and more conflictual world.

For the EU, they also depend on maintaining and further developing our economic base by adapting, innovating and competing in the world. This is why the Commission has prioritised enhancing Europe's competitiveness in this new mandate. Cutting red tape is an important element of building that competitive Europe. We have set out ambitious targets for administrative costs, reducing them by 25听% for all companies and 35听% for SMEs, all while ensuring cost effective delivery of the underlying policy priorities.

This translates into cutting roughly EUR 37.5 billion in annual administrative costs by the end of this Commission's mandate.听And in the end, more innovation and investment will bring prosperity and wealth for our citizens.

Put simply, we cannot hope to successfully compete in a perilous world with one hand behind our backs.

I want to be very clear that we remain deeply committed to building a greener and fairer society and economy. Simplification is about making sure that EU rules help deliver, rather than impede, the achievement of our economic, social, environmental and security goals, and bring wealth and prosperity to our citizens. It is about achieving those goals in a smarter and less burdensome way.

Less bureaucracy means more innovation and investment that will secure our long-term prosperity. It means creating new and quality jobs for European workers.

Our Communication on implementation and simplification outlines a comprehensive set of tools to sharpen the quality of our regulatory framework, and to deliver on our agreed objectives. It is constructed around four building blocks: ensuring EU policies deliver results, making Europe simpler and faster, improving the way we make new rules and strengthening our work with co-legislators and stakeholders.

Taken together, it signals a change in the regulatory culture of the European Commission, focussed on making sure that EU rules are as simple and cost effective as possible while they deliver on the ground.

We are already translating the principles of this second bloc into concrete actions, starting with those announced in the 2025 Commission work programme. 11 out of the 18 new initiatives in the work programme aim at simplification and they are complemented by 37 fitness checks and evaluations, which will in turn feed future simplification work.

The main simplification proposals for 2025 are the following:

鈥� A听first Omnibus proposal on sustainability reporting, which we already presented last month, and to which I will return in a moment.

鈥� Investment simplification. Facilitating the deployment and reporting of InvestEU and the European Fund for Strategic Investments, a package including a new definition of small mid-caps so that they can benefit from more targeted, proportionate requirements.

鈥懱鼳 digital package to ensure a simplified and more agile means to facilitate once-only reporting, to avoid duplications.

鈥� A proposal to reduce complexity and administrative burden for farmers and national administrations in the context of the Common Agricultural Policy, and.

鈥� The Omnibus听proposal to further simply rules in the defence sector.

As I have mentioned, the Commission already presented the first two Omnibus proposals to simplify EU rules at the end of last month. The Omnibus package covers a far reaching simplification in the fields of sustainability reporting, sustainability, due diligence and taxonomy. The Omnibus package on investment simplification facilitates, amongst others, the deployment and reporting of InvestEU and the European Fund for Strategic investments, and simplifies reporting.

Briefly, these proposals provide for a stop-the-clock proposal to delay the application of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive for companies that have not started reporting yet, freeing around 80听% of companies currently under the scope of CSRD from mandatory reporting requirements and protecting them from excessive information requests by large companies,

They make taxonomy reporting more proportionate by limiting mandatory reporting only to very large companies.

They provide for a major simplification to the carbon border adjustment mechanism that limits obligations for approximately 182听000, or 90听% of importers, most of which are SMEs.

These first two Omnibus packages mark a strong start to delivering our simplification agenda. A conservative estimate puts the annual savings stemming from these two packages at EUR 6.3 billion.

To conclude, honourable Members, as you can see, this Commission is firmly committed to improving implementation and delivering simpler and more cost-efficient rules. We hope to count on your support so that we can deliver fast and sustained changes on the ground in the coming months and years. I will stop here and look forward to our discussion.

听听L铆dia Pereira (PPE). 鈥� Senhor Presidente, ao longo dos 煤ltimos meses temos ouvido falar de d茅fices. D茅fice de investimento, d茅fice de inova莽茫o, d茅fice de compet锚ncias, e outros.

Estes d茅fices, de facto, existem. Mas hoje quero falar-vos de excessos: a Europa tem excesso de regula莽茫o, de percentagens e de debate inconsequente.

Nos 煤ltimos anos, o PPE, o PSD e eu pr贸pria temos alertado para o excesso regulat贸rio que estrangula a capacidade das empresas europeias de investir, criar empregos e gerar riqueza. Finalmente, temos relat贸rios que nos d茫o raz茫o e um ambiente pol铆tico que nos d谩 鈥� a todos 鈥� a oportunidade de fazer diferente.

Por outro lado, h谩 excesso de percentagens no discurso pol铆tico. Falamos de 99,8听% de PME na Europa, esquecendo que isto representa 26 milh玫es de empresas. Referimo-nos a 52听% de valor acrescentado das PME, mas esquecemo-nos de que, por detr谩s, est茫o 90 milh玫es de trabalhadores. N贸s n茫o temos de decidir para as percentagens, temos de agir para as pessoas.

Finalmente, temos excesso de debate inconsequente. Um debate alimentado por uma esquerda que acusa a Comiss茫o de querer matar o Green Deal quando foi a mesma presidente da Comiss茫o quem o lan莽ou e por uma extrema鈥慸ireita que听na Europa s贸 v锚 o 煤nico alvo para alimentar a sua propaganda.

N贸s aqui estamos, como sempre estivemos, no espa莽o da modera莽茫o. Naquele espa莽o que aprovou o Green Deal e que quer libertar recursos para as empresas o poderem cumprir. O espa莽o que quer que as empresas invistam e criem emprego e n茫o se percam em burocracias. O espa莽o que quer simplificar a vida a quem gera riqueza e facilitar a vida de quem trabalha.

To conclude, Ms Bischoff and dear Pascal, the EPP is ready to work with everyone 鈥� with everyone. We are just not ready to destroy whatever is left of our European competitiveness.

听听Jo茫o Oliveira (The Left), Pergunta segundo o procedimento 芦cart茫o azul禄. 鈥� Senhor Presidente, Senhora Deputada L铆dia Pereira, se o problema 茅 a burocracia, porque 茅 que n茫o se combate a burocracia em vez de se permitirem atropelos 脿s regras de exig锚ncia em mat茅rias ambientais e de controlo e preven莽茫o da polui莽茫o?

Se o problema 茅 a burocracia que atinge as pequenas e m茅dias empresas, porque 茅 que n茫o se facilita a vida 脿s pequenas e m茅dias empresas e se opta, por outro lado, por atribuir a empresas que n茫o s茫o pequenas e m茅dias empresas, nomeadamente as designadas small mid鈥�caps, o mesmo tratamento que 脿s PME?

Essas s茫o op莽玫es erradas, que escondem um problema de fundo que a senhora deputada devia explicar: a forma como este pacote Omnibus verdadeiramente favorece as grandes multinacionais e as grandes empresas, em vez de contribuir para os objetivos que lhe servem de pretexto.

听听L铆dia Pereira (PPE), Resposta segundo o procedimento 芦cart茫o azul禄. 鈥� Muito obrigada, Senhor Deputado, pela pergunta.

Eu posso responder-lhe o seguinte: esta proposta d谩 resposta 脿quilo que tem sido um equil铆brio necess谩rio e uma lideran莽a da Uni茫o Europeia. E esse equil铆brio est谩 em encontrarmos capacidade e respostas, em entregar resultados para o ambiente e para a economia. N贸s s贸 podemos ir ao encontro dos des铆gnios do ambiente se tivermos o nosso tecido econ贸mico capacitado para o fazer.

E, para terminar, n贸s temos um modelo social europeu para pagar e s贸 茅 poss铆vel pagarmos esse modelo social com mais competitividade, com mais crescimento econ贸mico e aliviando a carga burocr谩tica das nossas PME.

听听Lara Wolters (S&D). 鈥� Mr听President, the European Commission promised us a simplification of EU rules for companies without compromising on the landmark green ambitions of the last mandate.

What's not to like, you would think? After all, with the current economic backdrop, efforts to simplify, digitise, streamline, those are to be welcomed and we as a Group could certainly see room for doing that.听But I will tell you what's not to like and that this is not the simplification of EU rules. This is the simplification of a debate. It's an oversimplification of a debate and it's a harmful one.

What we're presented here with is removing liability from a law that says to check and address things like child labour and deforestation. Now, clearly that's not simplification, that's obstructing justice. That's purposefully making things harder for the victims of wrongdoing and NGOs. That's making a mockery of EU law, essentially.听Liability is not just there for the sake of it. It's there to guarantee fairness and a level playing field between cowboy companies and companies that give a damn.

Also, asking companies to only check their direct suppliers, that's pointless box-ticking for companies. You're asking them to look at places where there's no issues and no risks, and you're giving them a blank cheque to ignore risks that are further down their supply chain. Another example: banning companies from requesting information from companies of less than 1听000听employees. That will just mean that their reporting is going to be inaccurate, incomplete and very difficult to comply.

And now we talk about red tape. Make no mistake, this is regulatory schizophrenia that's going to end up increasing compliance costs. Companies have already invested in sustainability and now the Commission is pulling the rug from underneath their feet.听I think this is the kind of nonsense that can only be come up with when people go on what must be an ideological crusade, and that at breakneck speed, refusing to consider real evidence or with a public consultation.

Truly, the European Commission should be ashamed of this proposal. It claims that this is the middle ground, that it's a sensible proposal that is sorely needed, but it is an extreme proposal, let's be clear on that. It radically slashes human rights and environmental standards, and it actually makes things more complicated. And what's more, this is a dishonest reading of what the Draghi report has called for.

No company is leaving the EU because of sustainability reporting. Could things be improved? Yes, of course, let's have a sensible conversation about that. But there's no company that risks bankruptcy unless we tell them that it's okay to have children make their products. This House now has a responsibility to get things back on track, to deliver actual simplification.

Unfortunately, the EPP has already been mind-blowingly open about their willingness to work here with the extreme right, and that's not even plan B for the EPP, it seems that's plan A. The Commission has been absolutely fine to present its proposal under these circumstances. They knew that this couldn't gain a pro-European majority in this form, but it went ahead anyway.听It's time to call this out for what it is. It's an extreme proposal. It's blatantly misguided and it's backed by the fossil fuel industry and the far right.

(The speaker agreed to take a blue-card question)

听听Tomas Tob茅 (PPE), blue-card question. 鈥� Thank you, colleague Wolters, for your intervention. I understand that S&D is not welcoming this proposal, but I think it is extremely important for our competitiveness and that we understand that we need also to grow our European economy. That is actually also good for sustainability and for our climate goals 鈥� we have the most ambitious climate policy on our continent.

And my question is 鈥� to S&D 鈥� you ask to work with us, we are ready to work with everybody here. But the question is, what is S&D actually ready to change in the current proposals? What is it?

听听Lara Wolters (S&D), blue-card answer. 鈥� Mr听Tob茅, you say that you're ready to work with us and yet you didn't appoint people from the EPP for a long time to talk to us. Then, after we talked together, you made statements in Politico that made it clear that you would only work with us if it suited you. So, that's a difficult basis to start from.

But when it comes to what we could actually do to simplify, there's many things that we could be discussing reasonably, but there hasn't been time for that because of a PR stunt from the European Commission that insists on proposing things within the first 100 days.

I don't think there's any necessity to rush things like that and, therefore, we're now faced with proposals that are misguided. I think it's a little bit like saying that if you're driving on the motorway, cars will be able to drive faster without speed limits. That's certainly true, but you're also going to have collisions.

听听Antonella Sberna (ECR). 鈥� Signor Presidente, signor Commissario, onorevoli colleghi, sapete qual 猫 la prima richiesta di chi vuole aprire un'attivit脿 in Europa? Regole chiare, tempi certi, meno ostacoli, in altre parole meno burocrazia.

I numeri parlano da soli: 80 miliardi di euro l'anno spesi solo dalle piccole e medie imprese italiane per adempiere a procedure amministrative. Se consideriamo anche l'impatto sulle famiglie e sulle aziende, la cifra supera i 225 miliardi di euro: l'Europa non pu貌 permetterselo; l'Italia non pu貌 permetterselo.

Il primo pacchetto Omnibus rappresenta un riconoscimento tardivo ma necessario. Perch茅 accorgerci solo oggi che bastava alzare la soglia da 250 a 1000 dipendenti per escludere l'80% delle imprese dall'applicazione della direttiva CSRD sulla rendicontazione di sostenibilit脿 ambientale?

La burocrazia 猫 come un dazio invisibile: non si paga alla dogana ma ogni giorno pesa sulle imprese, rallenta gli investimenti e blocca la crescita. Il primo Omnibus ritengo che abbia aperto una strada. Ma non bastano le intenzioni: 猫 il momento di trasformare le parole in azioni concrete.

听听Svenja Hahn (Renew). 鈥� Herr Pr盲sident! Ich bin ja erleichtert, dass Frau von der Leyen bereit ist, die Geburtsfehler ihrer eigenen schlecht gemachten Gesetze zu korrigieren. Vor allen Dingen beim Lieferkettengesetz hatten wir als FDP ja schon damals gesagt, der Anwendungsbereich und der Haftungsbereich m眉ssten beschr盲nkt werden听鈥� von daher gut, dass es kommt. Ich w眉rde sogar noch weiter gehen und sagen, es w盲re besser, die Kommission w眉rde das Lieferkettengesetz zur眉ckziehen, denn es steckt immer noch viel unn枚tige B眉rokratie drin und nicht genug effektiver Schutz von Menschenrechten. Trotzdem: Das Omnibusgesetz muss kommen, denn es ist ein Minimum, um B眉rokratie abzubauen und Wettbewerbsf盲higkeit zu st盲rken.

Deshalb frage ich mich auch ganz ehrlich: Haben einige Kollegen von Sozialdemokraten und Gr眉nen noch nicht mitbekommen, wie schlecht es um die europ盲ische Wirtschaft steht? Ich finde es wirklich unverantwortlich, wie sich hier einige jedweder Vereinfachung und B眉rokratieabbau verweigern. Und leider, wenn ich nach Berlin kucke, macht mir das schwarz-rote Sondierungspapier auch nicht sehr viel Hoffnung, dass die Union es tats盲chlich ernst meint mit echten Reformen jenseits des Wahlkampfs.

Deswegen mein absoluter Appell an die Kommission: Wir brauchen noch viel mehr Vereinfachung, wir brauchen Abbau von 眉berfl眉ssigen Gesetzen und Regulierungen, und deswegen brauchen wir jede Menge neue Omnibusse. Und der n盲chste muss ein Digital-Omnibus sein, denn wir m眉ssen die 眉berbordenden Digitalgesetze vereinfachen. Wir m眉ssen endlich bei Innovationen an der Weltspitze sein und nicht bei der Regulierung.

听听Anna Cavazzini (Verts/ALE). 鈥� Herr Pr盲sident, liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen! Es darf null Toleranz geben bei der Kinderarbeit. Genau das hat Ursula von der Leyen hier in diesem Haus gesagt und hat riesenviel Applaus daf眉r bekommen. Das war vor ein paar Jahren, doch was ist heute 眉brig von diesem Bekenntnis? Das EU鈥慙ieferkettengesetz soll geopfert werden, bevor es 眉berhaupt in Kraft ist. Ausgerechnet das Gesetz, was furchtbare Arbeitsbedingungen und Ausbeutung verhindern soll.

Erst einmal zuvor, liebe Kommissarin: Das ist ein extrem schlechter Stil. Die Tinte von dem Gesetz ist noch nicht mal trocken. Es gibt keinerlei Erfahrung mit diesem Gesetz, ob es 眉berhaupt zur B眉rokratie beitr盲gt. Unternehmen, die wenden sich an mich und sind total verunsichert. Die haben investiert, die haben Systeme umgebaut. Die B眉rgerinnen und B眉rger schreiben mir: Wir wollen keine Kinderarbeit in unserem Kaffee, wir wollen keine Umweltverbrechen in unseren Textilien, und die EU hat uns das garantiert. Und jetzt so ein kurzfristiges, undurchdachtes Hin und Her. Das zerst枚rt Vertrauen in EU鈥慓esetzgebung.

Und jetzt zweitens zum Inhalt: Die Kommission hatte angek眉ndigt, Berichtspflichten zur眉ckzuschrauben. Ja, wir brauchen Entlastungen insbesondere f眉r kleine und mittelst盲ndische Unternehmen. Aber dieser Vorschlag ist keine Entlastung, es ist keine einfache Reduktion von Berichtspflichten. Dieser Vorschlag ist eine massive Deregulierung, die die Ziele des Gesetzes gef盲hrdet. Was hat es denn mit Berichtspflichten zu tun, wenn die zivilrechtliche Haftung gestrichen wird? Was hat es mit Berichtspflichten zu tun, wenn Bu脽gelder gesenkt werden? Was hat es mit Berichtspflichten zu tun, wenn Unternehmen nur noch den ersten Zulieferer pr眉fen m眉ssen, wo doch die meisten Menschenrechtsverletzungen am Anfang der Lieferkette passieren?

Das ist mit uns Gr眉nen nicht zu machen. Vereinfachung ja, aber keine Deregulierung. In dem Sinne werden wir nachverhandeln.

听听Maravillas Abad铆a Jover (PPE). 鈥� Se帽or presidente, Europa necesita urgentemente innovaci贸n, crecimiento y empleo. Para lograrlo es fundamental reducir la burocracia que asfixia a nuestras empresas. Por eso, desde el Partido Popular Europeo celebramos el paquete 贸mnibus y los avances que proponen la eliminaci贸n de trabas innecesarias, creando un entorno econ贸mico m谩s competitivo y favorable a la innovaci贸n.

Este paquete supone un paso en la direcci贸n correcta, pero a煤n hay margen de mejora. La reducci贸n de cargas administrativas debe ir m谩s lejos para que las empresas europeas puedan crecer sin obst谩culos regulatorios innecesarios. Un ejemplo claro son las obligaciones impuestas por la Directiva sobre informaci贸n corporativa en materia de sostenibilidad que impone a muchas empresas la redacci贸n de informes de sostenibilidad, incluso cuando ya forman parte de grupos empresariales que presentan estos datos de una manera consolidada.

Con el paquete 贸mnibus se han introducido cambios que eliminan redundancias, pero las empresas europeas siguen dedicando muchos recursos a cumplir con exigencias burocr谩ticas en vez de centrarse en su negocio. La autonom铆a estrat茅gica de la que tanto hablamos no ser谩 posible si no facilitamos las cosas a quienes producen, innovan y crean riqueza en Europa. Debemos competir en igualdad de condiciones con otras regiones del mundo. Seguimos trabajando para que este paquete sea a煤n m谩s ambicioso en la eliminaci贸n de cargas administrativas.

听听Mohammed Chahim (S&D). 鈥� Mr President, I remember on this day, exactly four years ago, the 合法博彩网站 adopted a resolution on WTO compatibility of CBAM. I remember my colleague Yannick Jadot from the Greens that did an extraordinary job. And that was quite some consensus here in the room.

The same holds, actually, for the ambition that we had as Commission and 合法博彩网站. The Green Deal and the European climate law, those were more than just policies. They formed our vision for a sustainable, innovative and strong Europe. We made a promise to industry, to businesses and to workers, who believed and worked on this vision, that if you innovate, if you invest in green technologies, if you are committed to decarbonise, we will have your back. With stable and predictable legislation, we will help you invest, grow and provide secure jobs that we all need.

And now we are here today. I challenge everyone in this room to explain to me how creating simplification helps us form a robust response to China and other global players. I fear that this so-called vision of competitiveness and simplification is not enough, and it distracts us from the real solutions we need, like a market creation for green and digital European technologies. And I cannot stress this enough. Market creation, not deregulation, market creation, not deregulation. That's what we need. That's what we need to create jobs, to grow our economy and really become competitive.

By simplification, we somehow believe that the investments that we need will pop up, that they will magically appear. As we say in Dutch, costs always come before the profits. It doesn't mean that there are no rules that we can simplify, but emphasising only on this, only on simplification, will not do the job.

And while we focus on this, while we create more uncertainty and step away from our regulatory stability, the world invests in clean tech. China's economy today, its growth is more than 40听% attributed to green investments, and we are failing ourselves to meet the targets that we set, whether it's for cars or whether it's, for example, when it comes to hydrogen for RepowerEU, our strategy to become less dependence on autocrats outside Europe.

I really believe that that is how we could improve our competitiveness, by reaching these targets, by investing in green technologies, by becoming less dependent on energy coming from outside Europe.

We have to create this through regulatory stability. We have to create this by growing these sectors within our market.

Mazzucato, the famous economist, states that in transitions we should not distinguish between winners and losers, but between those who are willing and those who are not. And I fear that we listen to much to companies that are not willing to change and do not see a future in Europe. And by listening to them, we are ignoring innovative companies that can become future tech leaders. Those companies can use a push. We can use a push by creating a green market so that they can have a foot on the ground. That's the question today. Are we supporting them or are we ignoring them? And with that, not creating competitiveness in Europe.

听听Julie Rechagneux (PfE). 鈥� Monsieur le Pr茅sident, la Commission s鈥檈ssaye 脿 un exercice d鈥檋umilit茅 et d茅cide de revenir sur certaines de ses r茅glementations. Elle red茅couvre un principe de sagesse: des petites choses le l茅gislateur ne se soucie pas. L鈥檃ll茅gement des obligations de d茅claration, c鈥檈st bien, mais est-ce suffisant? Certainement pas, car ces ajustements ne mettent pas fin 脿 l鈥櫭ヽonomie administr茅e qu鈥檈lle a cr茅茅e. Pour rappel, la directive CSRD, ce sont 50听000听entreprises concern茅es, jusqu鈥櫭� 600听indicateurs ESG 脿 renseigner et un co没t sup茅rieur 脿 100听000听euros par an pour certaines entreprises.

La Commission pr茅tend simplifier, mais elle ne fait qu鈥檈xempter temporairement certaines entreprises de r茅glementations excessives, sans remettre en cause la logique bureaucratique qui les sous-tend. Qui peut croire que l鈥檕n sauvera l鈥檌ndustrie europ茅enne avec des formulaires? L鈥櫬玱mnibus禄 ne change rien au fond du probl猫me.

听听Jeannette Baljeu (Renew). 鈥� Voorzitter,听Europa moet ondernemender worden, niet bureaucratischer. Ondernemers willen innoveren en groeien. Vergeet niet: het merendeel van de ondernemers in Europa is midden- en kleinbedrijf. Zij raken verstrikt in een woud aan rapportageverplichtingen. Wat mij betreft, moeten we het MKB als uitgangspunt nemen.

Dus daarom deze vraag: kan de Commissie zich standaard committeren aan het "think small (business) first"-principe in de Europese wetgeving? Daarnaast ben ik geen voorstander van dubbele afspraken, zoals de CSRD en de CSDDD. Daarnaast bestaan de OESO-richtlijnen al jaren, inclusief een handhavingsinstrument via nationale contactpunten.

Wat denkt de Commissie ervan om bestaande internationale afspraken, zoals de OESO-richtlijnen, te hanteren als uitgangspunt? Het Omnibus-voorstel is een goede eerste stap, maar er is nog veel werk aan de winkel. Minder rapportages zijn nodig, want het gaat uiteindelijk om vertrouwen in de ondernemers, om innovatie en concurrentiekracht.

Ich m枚chte noch einmal ganz besonders, weil der Umweltausschuss da federf眉hrend ist, die Vorschl盲ge f眉r CBAM unterst眉tzen. Wir brauchen einen Grenzausgleichsmechanismus, um unsere Unternehmen, die sich auf den Weg zur Klimaneutralit盲t gemacht haben, vor billigen, dreckigen Importen zu sch眉tzen. Das ist n枚tig.

Desmantelan, casi por completo, la diligencia debida. Esto significa que dejan abandonados a los eslabones m谩s vulnerables de la cadena, que recortan la responsabilidad civil obligatoria y que limitan much铆simo el acceso a la justicia de las v铆ctimas. Eso es lo que ustedes hacen.

En materia de sostenibilidad, lo abandonan todo a la voluntariedad: el que quiera que lo haga y el que no, no. Y eso es nefasto para el medio ambiente, pero es muy injusto para quienes s铆 cumplen las normas. Nefasto e injusto a la vez.

听听Sebastian Kruis (PfE). 鈥� Voorzitter, we hebben het vandaag over de eerste Omnibus-voorstellen: de vereenvoudiging van regels oftewel 鈥� in Brusselse termen 鈥� "cutting red tape". Dat klinkt hoopgevend, maar wie zich er een beetje in verdiept, komt tot een bedroevende conclusie. Terwijl een handjevol wetten onder de loep ligt, worden dit jaar alleen al vijftig nieuwe wetten en regels van kracht. Het hele Europese systeem dat hier is opgetuigd, is maar gericht op 茅茅n ding: meer wetten en meer regels. En dat gebeurt dan ook. Wat heeft het dan voor zin om de "rode tape" te verwijderen als tegelijkertijd ons hele huis wordt dichtgetimmerd door een Europees leger van 60 000 superbureaucraten?

Voor onze bedrijven schiet het helemaal niet op. Zij zinken steeds verder weg in een oceaan van regels, formulieren en verplichtingen. Wat we echt nodig hebben, is niet een "omnibus", maar een kettingzaag. Massale deregulering, het afschaffen van overbodige EU-agentschappen, het mes in de ambtenarij: niet pappen en nat houden en procedures, maar snijden, schrappen en slopen.

听听Billy Kelleher (Renew). 鈥� Madam听President, when I met business owners throughout the campaign, without fail, they would raise their concerns about the burdens of regulation and compliance, and when I continue to meet them, they still raise it. Regardless of whether it is a local high street business, a family farm or even a large multinational, they all felt the heavy weight of compliance and felt stifled because of it.

Finally, the EU has woken up to the fact that the complex and duplicated regulatory requirements are weighing on European businesses. I urge my colleagues in this House and all Member States to act swiftly on these proposals, to keep their eyes on the objective and not try to reopen and rehash political debates that were settled when these pieces of legislation were adopted.

I call on the Commission to keep up the momentum and continue to simplification agenda without diluting our ambition or its intent. We must assess the framework for each of our industries and ensure they're not being unnecessarily burdened.

However, acting swiftly does not mean acting recklessly. This 合法博彩网站 needs to carefully scrutinise the Omnibus proposals to ensure that they are truly bringing forward simplification measures and not deregulation for the sake of it.

I think there is a big debate that is required in this particular House with regard to deregulation and simplification, and I do not think that we should be using deregulation to throw out the ambition that this 合法博彩网站, the Commission and the Council set in the last mandate.

听听Sara Matthieu (Verts/ALE). 鈥� Voorzitter, het is een absolute illusie dat de hakbijl zetten in onze duurzaamheidswetten de structurele problemen van onze industrie zal oplossen. Toch wil de Commissie nu snijden in wat ik beschouw als essenti毛le bescherming van onze natuur en de rechten van onze arbeiders. Waarom? Omdat de Commissie denkt dat dit bedrijven competitiever zal maken. Dat is absolute onzin.

Deregulering zorgt niet voor broodnodige investeringen in innovatieve, groene, in Europa vervaardigde producten en cre毛ert al helemaal geen banen in Europa. Wie dat gesnoei in wetgeving zomaar toejuicht, kijkt niet vooruit maar achteruit, naar een tijd waar multinationals straffeloos het milieu, de werknemersrechten en de mensenrechten om zeep hielpen. Denk maar aan Rana Plaza, waar duizenden arbeiders het leven lieten door de nalatigheid van de "fast fashion"-industrie. Laat ons koers houden. Administratieve lasten verminderen waar mogelijk? Ja. Maar laten we vooral innovatie en duurzame investeringen stimuleren in plaats van onze duurzaamheidswetten verder uit te kleden.

Au cours du dernier mandat 鈥撎齝鈥檈st la raison pour laquelle, avec le groupe PPE, nous n鈥檃vons cess茅 d鈥檃lerter 脿 ce sujet听鈥�, l鈥橴nion europ茅enne a adopt茅 13听000听nouveaux actes 鈥撎齟ntre 2019 et听2024听鈥�, et Eurostat indique que ce poids administratif co没te aujourd鈥檋ui 150听milliards听d鈥檈uros par an aux entreprises europ茅ennes.

C鈥檈st tr猫s, tr猫s, tr猫s loin d鈥櫭猼re 脿 la hauteur des enjeux. C鈥檈st bien de faire sortir 80听% des entreprises europ茅ennes de l鈥檈ssentiel de ces r猫gles, mais 脿 quoi cela sert-il, vu que les 20听% d鈥檈ntreprises qui demeurent concern茅es repr茅sentent 80听% de l鈥櫭ヽonomie europ茅enne et que leur charge administrative se r茅percutera sur toutes les PME et entreprises interm茅diaires avec qui elles travaillent? O霉 est la solution pour les 茅conomies de nos pays?

Des ing茅nieurs d鈥檜ne entreprise industrielle m鈥檕nt racont茅, il y a quelques jours, que la r茅glementation europ茅enne allait leur demander de contr么ler que tous les produits qu鈥檌ls utilisent aient 茅t茅 fabriqu茅s en respectant les meilleures exigences, fond茅es sur 1听200听crit猫res.

Maintenant, 莽a suffit! Si nous voulons sortir de cette crise 茅conomique majeure qui est en train de se dessiner, il ne faut pas simplement simplifier, il faut supprimer des r猫gles. Partout dans nos pays, ceux qui font tourner notre 茅conomie disent simplement: 芦Laissez-nous bosser! Laissez-nous faire, cr茅er, d茅velopper, innover et inventer! Laissez-nous respirer!

Il pacchetto Omnibus, oggi, 猫 un attacco ai progressi della scorsa legislatura su sostenibilit脿 sociale e ambientale. La semplificazione 猫 solo apparente: le proposte sono affrettate e creano incertezza giuridica.

Questa deregolamentazione tocca anche l'ambito digitale, come la scelta sbagliata di ritirare la proposta di direttiva sulla responsabilit脿 civile per danno da intelligenza artificiale.

Ci troviamo cos矛 con un sistema che non offre abbastanza tutele legali ai cittadini e che confonde le piccole e medie imprese. L'assenza di regole chiare non crea innovazione.

Dobbiamo lavorare per rendere l'Europa pi霉 competitiva con la qualit脿 del lavoro, delle competenze, dei prodotti, e non fare una rincorsa verso il basso a danno dei nostri lavoratori, imprenditori e territori.

听听Juan Carlos Girauta Vidal (PfE). 鈥� Se帽ora presidenta, durante la pasada legislatura esta C谩mara insisti贸 e insisti贸 en el tema del Pacto Verde, que iba a resolver todos nuestros problemas. Unos meses despu茅s de terminada aquella legislatura, tienen ustedes que desdecirse t谩citamente, impl铆citamente.

Aquella agenda ideol贸gica resultaba ser un lastre para nuestras empresas y la competitividad europea. Aun as铆, este paquete 贸mnibus no supondr谩 la eliminaci贸n de aquellas trabas. Lo que se est谩 haciendo es aplazar los problemas. Que nadie piense que el consenso de populares y socialistas va a retractarse de la oportunidad de llevar todos esos disparates hasta el final.

Lo que necesitan las empresas europeas es m谩s libertad, menos impuestos, menos burocracia, menos regulaci贸n y acabar con la hiperinflaci贸n legislativa. Solo as铆 se crece y se genera empleo.

Si Europa pretende ocupar el lugar en el mundo que merece, lo primero, lo m谩s aconsejable, es que los emprendedores europeos no se encuentren en la Uni贸n Europea con El castillo de Kafka, que es la gran pesadilla de la modernidad, que toma forma de burocracia absurda, infinita y desalentadora, como esta casa.

听听Nora Junco Garc铆a (NI). 鈥� Se帽ora presidente, la Comisi贸n nos vende su nuevo plan como un gran paso hacia la simplificaci贸n, pero lo que tenemos delante es m谩s de lo mismo: ret贸rica vac铆a y medidas insuficientes que llegan tarde y mal. Nos prometieron menos burocracia y m谩s competitividad, pero lo que vemos es un parche que mantiene intacto este lastre regulatorio que asfixia a nuestras empresas.

Europa sigue enredada en su propia telara帽a de normativas mientras que la industria china avanza con agilidad y sentido pr谩ctico. En lugar de crear un entorno flexible para la innovaci贸n y la inversi贸n, seguimos a帽adiendo m谩s reglas, m谩s condiciones, m谩s obst谩culos... Y, mientras tanto, nuestras empresas pagan el precio en forma de p茅rdida de competitividad, deslocalizaci贸n y destrucci贸n de empleo. Un ejemplo claro es la reciente normativa sobre la prohibici贸n definitiva de la venta de motores de combusti贸n para el 2035, que pone en jaque a la industria automotriz europea.

Esta imposici贸n est谩 empujando a nuestras empresas al cierre. Es hora de devolver la libertad a nuestras empresas y dejar de castigar al progreso con burocracia.

听听Rasmus Andresen (Verts/ALE). 鈥� Frau Pr盲sidentin! Das ist kein B眉rokratieabbau, sondern ein Kahlschlag. Es ist richtig: Die EU hat ein B眉rokratieproblem, und EU-Regularien sind f眉r Unternehmen viel zu kompliziert; Unterschiede zwischen nationaler und europ盲ischer Gesetzgebung kommen dann noch dazu. Aber einfach die Augen zu verschlie脽en und so zu tun, als ob die Klimakrise, Raubbau an der Natur oder Zwangsarbeit nicht stattfinden, kann keine Antwort sein.

Kommissionspr盲sidentin von der Leyen hat versprochen, an den Zielen der Gesetze festzuhalten, aber die Anwendung praktikabler zu machen. Klingt gut, stimmt aber nicht. Wenn man pauschal 90听% der Unternehmen weitestgehend vom Anwendungsbereich von zentralen Gesetzen ausnehmen will, dann legt man die Axt ans Gesetz. Statt die Gesetze unbrauchbar zu machen, m眉ssen wir dar眉ber reden, wie wir sie besser umsetzen k枚nnen. Dazu geh枚ren beispielsweise 脺bergangspl盲ne statt pauschale Ausnahmen. Dazu geh枚rt auch, ja, eine st盲rkere Unterscheidung zwischen gro脽en Konzernen und kleinen Handwerksbetrieben.

听听J枚rgen Warborn (PPE). 鈥� Madam President, Commissioner, my key message today is that this is a good first step. But it is not enough. We have to continue to work with this suggestion and this is really important for the competitiveness of Europe.

We have been falling behind. We have been falling behind a lot of other great economic powers around the world and we have to change this situation. And there is a lot of things that we need to change. But one of the most important parts is to cut red tape. This is important for all companies, but it is most important for the small and medium-sized enterprises.

It was a colleague that mentioned the 'Think Small First' principle 鈥� I think that is really important. That is a good solution. We have to do that. And this can be done in the negotiation about these files as well, to continue with the 'Think Small First' principle.

Multinationals were mentioned like they are bad guys 鈥� no, they are good guys. They are providing jobs and economy and growth to Europeans. That is also important. It is good that we do a reality check on this package, on the CSDDD, on the CSRD, on the taxonomy act, on the CBAM. We need that reality check.

So let's work with it, but we need to move this forward. This is a good first step but we need to continue to cut red tape. It's been speaking about 'deregulation', about 'simplification', about 'cutting red tape' 鈥� it doesn't matter which word you use, you have to cut the cost for businesses. That's how you get back to growth.

(The speaker agreed to take a blue-card question)

听听Kira Marie Peter-Hansen (Verts/ALE), blue-card question. 鈥� As a fellow Scandinavian, dear colleague, I would like to ask you if you recognise that a green economy is a strong economy, and that the green transition and competitiveness go hand in hand? And why EPP could support the taxonomy, the CSRD, the CSDDD as a way to fulfil our transition goals, but now want to roll it back?

听听J枚rgen Warborn (PPE), blue-card answer. 鈥� Thank you very much for that question. I think we can work with issues regarding sustainability and climate change. They are important.

But I also see 鈥� and this is important for the Greens as well to see 鈥� that we have a problem with the competitiveness. That is why it's so important to open up these files. That's so good that the Commission comes up with the first Omnibus package to change this.

This is not enough, though. We have to continue. We have to cut red tape even more than in these proposals. And for all the political groups that would like to do that, I am sure that EPP will work together with you to cut the red tape, to increase the growth, to come back to competitiveness. That is what we can do. And then we get the resources also to focus on the green issues.

Das Omnibuspaket der Kommission ist ein Synonym f眉r Verantwortungsflucht. Es ist ein Kniefall der Kommissionspr盲sidentin vor einigen wenigen gro脽en Konzernen, auf deren Druck hin beschlossene Gesetze wieder aufgemacht werden. Was bedeutet das: Unternehmen haften nicht mehr. Es wird nahezu unm枚glich, die Mutterfirma zur Verantwortung zu ziehen, wenn bei einer Tochterfirma Probleme identifiziert wurden. Strafzahlungen werden gestrichen.

Unser Wettbewerbsvorteil in der Europ盲ischen Union ist, dass die Europ盲ische Union f眉r Qualit盲t steht, dass Investorinnen und Investoren, dass Konsumentinnen und Konsumenten, dass Unternehmen und Staaten weltweit darauf z盲hlen k枚nnen, dass bei uns hohe Standards eingehalten werden听鈥� und das d眉rfen wir nicht aufgeben.

听听Roman Haider (PfE). 鈥� Frau Pr盲sidentin! Die europ盲ische Industrie steckt in einer existenziellen Krise, und hauptverantwortlich daf眉r ist die EU mit ihrer v枚llig irrsinnigen Green Deal-Politik. V枚llig 眉berzogene Energiepreise und immer neue Sinnlosvorschriften der EU zerst枚ren die Existenzgrundlagen der Industrie.

In dieser Situation sollte man meinen, dass die EU bereit ist, endlich wirklich gegenzusteuern, dass die EU bereit ist zu einem echten Politikwechsel, dass die EU bereit ist, die Industrie zu retten听鈥� sollte man meinen, passiert aber nicht; es geht einfach so weiter wie bisher. Es wird stur weitergemacht, und das ist die ganze Wahrheit hinter Ihrem Omnibus: weiter wie bisher. Und das Schlimmste ist, dass Sie das auch wissen. Sie wissen ganz genau, dass es der Green Deal ist, der unsere Wirtschaft zerst枚rt.

Sie wissen, dass Sie seit f眉nf Jahren einem Irrweg folgen, aber das zuzugeben, hie脽e f眉r Sie Gesichtsverlust, und darum machen Sie weiter wie bisher. Darum opfern Sie aus Eitelkeit lieber unsere wirtschaftlichen Grundlagen und die Zukunft unserer Jugend. Dieser Omnibus, diese 脛nderungen, ist viel zu wenig und kommt viel zu sp盲t.

听听Sebastian Tynkkynen (ECR). 鈥� Madam听President, companies are the backbone of the European economy. However, Brussels has been shutting off the engine of Europe by being the champion of overregulating. These new Omnibus proposals cut regulation and limit sustainability reporting to major corporations. A small step forward, but nowhere near enough.

The real obstacle remains massive climate regulation compared to our competitors. Let's face it, too strict policies are killing our competitiveness and putting jobs at risk. What Europe needs is not endless directives from Brussels, but policies that will give Europe the chance to win. It is time to break the chains of too strict climate regulation, let businesses thrive and restore Europe to the top of the global economy.

听听Markus Ferber (PPE). 鈥� Frau Pr盲sidentin, liebe Kolleginnen, liebe Kollegen! Wir m眉ssen uns ehrlich machen, alleine mit dem Erf眉llen von Berichtspflichten, mit dem Ausf眉llen von Formularen ist im Kampf gegen den Klimawandel oder f眉r den Arbeitsschutz in Entwicklungsl盲ndern noch 眉berhaupt nichts erreicht. Richtlinien wie die 眉ber die Nachhaltigkeitsberichterstattung oder das europ盲ische Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichten鈥慓esetz sind allenfalls Hilfsmittel, aber keine L枚sung.

Wir m眉ssen uns wirklich fragen, ob diese Hilfsmittel das erreichen, wof眉r sie mal von einer Mehrheit hier im Hause gegen meine Stimme geschaffen wurden. Bei der Richtlinie 眉ber Nachhaltigkeitsberichterstattung und beim Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichten鈥慓esetz f盲llt die Antwort eigentlich klar aus: In der heutigen Form sind sie kein hilfreiches Instrument, um die Ziele zu erreichen. Sie sind unn枚tig kompliziert, sie sorgen f眉r hohe B眉rokratielasten, sie schaffen h枚chstens Arbeitspl盲tze f眉r Consultants und Rechtsanw盲lte, aber Wettbewerbsf盲higkeit schaffen sie nicht.

Deswegen ist es richtig, dass die Europ盲ische Kommission nun zielgerichtet Anpassungen vorgeschlagen hat. Die Vorschl盲ge gehen in die richtige Richtung, aber ich h盲tte mir schon etwas mehr Ambitionen gew眉nscht, liebe Frau Kommissarin. Insbesondere im Bereich der Taxonomie wollen Sie alles nur auf Level zwei mit delegierten Rechtsakten l枚sen. Ich glaube, die Mutter aller Probleme ist die Taxonomie, und hier erwarte ich noch weitere Vorschl盲ge von der Kommission. Auch an der Stelle m眉ssen wir noch deutlich entr眉mpeln.

听听Jos茅 Cepeda (S&D). 鈥� Se帽ora presidenta, 驴desregular? S铆, yo creo que estamos todos de acuerdo en hacer cada vez a nuestra Europa m谩s competitiva. El Informe Draghi lo dice de una forma especial. Pero yo creo que, m谩s que desregular y quitar burocracia, el objetivo fundamental es ser l铆deres en el mundo en algo.

Me ha resultado chocante que alguno de los intervinientes anteriores ha puesto como ejemplo, como si fuera el faro de Occidente, a la econom铆a china. En fin, es un tanto sorprendente dar pasos hacia atr谩s.

Me resulta muy problem谩tico que las reglas de diligencia debida, que sin lugar a dudas son un riesgo, se coloquen en el frontispicio de esa gran arma que debemos de utilizar para desregular. Yo s铆 que comparto que no se puede recortar la burocracia sin pensar en lo que el propio Informe Draghi nos pone encima de la mesa, que es liderar. Ese es nuestro objetivo realmente, se帽ora comisaria, liderar, y para eso tenemos que ser much铆simo m谩s competitivos, pero no desregulando, no. Lo que tenemos que hacer es quitar burocracia para ser competitivos en el mundo. Claro que s铆.

听听Julien Leonardelli (PfE). 鈥� Madame la Pr茅sidente, la Commission europ茅enne nous pr茅sente aujourd鈥檋ui ses premi猫res propositions 芦omnibus禄 pour r茅duire les formalit茅s administratives et simplifier la vie des entreprises. Cependant, les chefs d鈥檈ntreprise fran莽ais attendent bien plus qu鈥檜n simple toilettage r茅glementaire.

En France, nos artisans, nos agriculteurs et nos industriels sont submerg茅s par une avalanche de normes et de contraintes bureaucratiques. En cinq ans, 850听nouvelles obligations europ茅ennes ont 茅t茅 impos茅es, repr茅sentant pr猫s de 5听000听pages de r茅glementation suppl茅mentaires. R茅sultat: des d茅lais interminables pour obtenir un simple permis de construire, des d茅marches absurdes pour acc茅der aux aides publiques et des TPE/PME p茅nalis茅es face aux grandes entreprises, qui, elles, disposent d鈥檜ne arm茅e de juristes pour naviguer dans ce labyrinthe administratif.

Un exemple frappant: nos agriculteurs croulent sous les exigences de la PAC, pendant que leurs concurrents extra-europ茅ens b茅n茅ficient de r猫gles plus souples. Nos PME industrielles, notamment dans l鈥檃utomobile, voient leur comp茅titivit茅 affaiblie par des surtranspositions absurdes.

Nous proposons une r茅volution administrative, passant par une pause r茅glementaire, la suppression des surtranspositions nationales et un droit de d茅rogation pour les 脡tats membres. Il est temps de lib茅rer nos entreprises de cette asphyxie bureaucratique et de redonner 脿 nos 茅conomies les moyens de cro卯tre et d鈥檌nnover.

听听Bert-Jan Ruissen (ECR). 鈥� Voorzitter. In de discussie over CSRD en CSDDD heeft de ECR altijd gezegd: houd het uitvoerbaar en ontzie het MKB. Precies daar gaat het om in deze Omnibus. Wij zien dit dan ook als een noodzakelijke correctie op doorgeslagen beleid, waarbij regeldruk exorbitante proporties aannam.

Maar er zijn ook best wel vragen te stellen bij deze voorstellen. Hoe denkt de Commissie bijvoorbeeld misstanden als kinderarbeid en slavernij te bestrijden als bedrijven niet langer verder hoeven te kijken dan hun directe zakenrelaties? We willen graag een verduidelijking van dit specifieke punt.

Ondertussen roep ik de Commissie op om ook andere wetgeving onder handen te nemen. Denk aan de eveneens doorgeslagen natuurherstelwet en de sterk verouderde nitraatrichtlijn: wetgeving die met name het agrarisch bedrijfsleven heel wat hoofdbrekens kost. Deze vereenvoudigingsoperatie mag niet beperkt blijven tot de voorstellen die nu voorliggen.

听听Andreas Schwab (PPE). 鈥� Frau Pr盲sidentin, liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen! Zun盲chst einmal m枚chte ich der Europ盲ischen Kommission gratulieren, weil ich glaube, dass sie mit dem Vorschlag dieser Zusammenfassung einer ganzen Reihe von 脛nderungsvorschl盲gen den Weg in die richtige Richtung geht. Denn eins ist klar: Europ盲ische Unternehmen stehen in einem weltweiten Wettbewerb, und in diesem weltweiten Wettbewerb geht es darum, Talent in die Firmen zu bringen und sich auf Innovation und Produktion zu konzentrieren. Das muss nat眉rlich nachhaltig sein, aber das sind am Ende vor allem Entscheidungen vor Ort in den Firmen, die hierf眉r eine Rolle spielen, und deswegen m眉ssen wir uns darauf konzentrieren, den Unternehmen dabei zu helfen, diesen Weg entsprechend gehen zu k枚nnen.

Dass jetzt hier in diesem Parlament so viel Kritik kommt, Frau Kommissarin, zeigt eigentlich, dass Sie relativ gut einen Mittelweg gefunden haben, der am Ende auch mehrheitsf盲hig sein kann. Ich glaube, dass wir an einigen Stellen einfach auch noch Beispiele brauchen, die zeigen, dass das, was hier teilweise von Sozialdemokraten und Gr眉nen vorgebracht wurde, einigerma脽en fehl am Platz ist. Denn es geht nicht darum, zu deregulieren in breitem Stil.

Es geht darum, die Verantwortung bei den Unternehmen vor Ort zu belassen, die sich ja alle mit der Gesetzeslage auch selber konform erkl盲ren m眉ssen, aber dar眉ber eben k眉nftig nicht mehr jedes Jahr im Einzelnen berichten m眉ssen. Das ist ein wichtiger Fortschritt, der viel zur Vereinfachung beitr盲gt, der auch viel zu Vertrauen von Unternehmen wieder im Markt beitr盲gt.

Und B眉rokratie bedeutet ja nichts anderes als Verwaltungsaufwand. Das Gesetz bedeutet nicht, dass nichtkonformes Handeln k眉nftig akzeptiert w眉rde, sondern es bedeutet, dass 眉ber die Einhaltung der Gesetze nicht zus盲tzlich berichtet werden muss听鈥� andere Staaten der Welt schaffen das auch. Deswegen sollten wir den Weg, den Mario Draghi in seinem Bericht durchaus klar vorgelegt hat, jetzt weiter konsequent verfolgen und z眉gig auf seine Umsetzung setzen. So kann Europa wieder wettbewerbsf盲hig werden.

脦n propunerea Omnibus vedem m膬suri utile, cum ar fi reducerea birocra葲iei pentru IMM-uri sau facilitarea achizi葲iilor publice pentru companiile europene, dar vedem 葯i riscuri majore.

Avem nevoie de o tranzi葲ie echilibrat膬 care sprijin膬 IMM-urile. Europa trebuie s膬 fie un model de predictibilitate, nu de reguli care vin 葯i pleac膬 peste noapte.

听听Andr茅 Roug茅 (PfE). 鈥� Madame la Pr茅sidente, chers coll猫gues, nous d茅battons ce soir de la simplification administrative. Les r茅gions ultrap茅riph茅riques qui composent nos outre-mer en France sont directement concern茅es par ce besoin de simplification. Elles subissent en effet une bureaucratie qui freine leur d茅veloppement 茅conomique et emp锚che les acteurs locaux de prosp茅rer. Ces lourdeurs administratives, souvent impos茅es depuis la Commission europ茅enne, sont un carcan pour les entrepreneurs, les agriculteurs et les p锚cheurs ultramarins. Comment cr茅er des emplois et dynamiser ces r茅gions quand tant de ces projets sont entrav茅s par des proc茅dures interminables et des normes inadapt茅es?

Il conviendrait 茅galement de mettre en place une avance sur recettes garantie par l鈥橴nion europ茅enne. Cet outil permettrait aux entreprises locales de mieux acc茅der aux financements et 茅viterait que des projets importants pour le d茅veloppement de nos outre-mer ne se retrouvent mort-n茅s pour des questions de d茅lais de financement.

Il est temps de simplifier les d茅marches et d鈥檃dapter les r茅glementations aux r茅alit茅s ultramarines. L鈥橴nion europ茅enne a choisi d鈥檌nt茅grer les r茅gions ultramarines depuis听1992, en cr茅ant les r茅gions ultrap茅riph茅riques. Elle ne doit pas 锚tre un frein, mais un v茅ritable soutien 脿 leur d茅veloppement.

听听Adri谩n V谩zquez L谩zara (PPE). 鈥� Se帽ora presidenta, en los 煤ltimos cinco a帽os la Uni贸n Europea ha producido m谩s de 13听000 normas; en el mismo tiempo, los Estados Unidos han producido 3听500. Seg煤n el informe Draghi, esta avalancha normativa ha supuesto un gasto y una p茅rdida de 150听000听millones听EUR听a los europeos, o lo que es lo mismo, un 1,3听% del PIB.

Es insostenible seguir lastrando de esta manera nuestra competitividad en un momento en el que necesitamos, m谩s que nunca, competir en un mundo cada vez m谩s complejo e inseguro. Y la Comisi贸n hace bien rectificando el camino; sin embargo, nuestras empresas ya han invertido millones para adaptarse a la normativa sobre divulgaci贸n de informaci贸n no financiera听y ahora se preguntan cu谩nto m谩s tienen que reinvertir para readaptarse de nuevo.

Por ello es vital no retrasar, sino congelar, la aplicaci贸n de estas reglas y trabajar en una nueva norma que sea seria, que d茅 certidumbre y seguridad a nuestros sectores productivos, que favorezca la creaci贸n de un ecosistema europeo de peque帽as y medianas empresas y empresas emergentes,听que permita la atracci贸n y la retenci贸n del talento y que permita innovar.

Competir no es una opci贸n, por mucho que los socialistas y los verdes digan lo contrario: es una necesidad para mantener nuestro Estado de bienestar y hoy, m谩s que nunca, nuestra seguridad.

Pero toda revisi贸n ha de hacerse con cabeza y evaluando su impacto. Si no, por muchas Br煤julas que aprobemos, seguiremos perdidos buscando el norte.

听听Aodh谩n 脫 R铆ord谩in (S&D). 鈥� Madam President, the 'simplification agenda' 鈥� like most right-wing phrases, it sounds so benign, but it is also very dangerous. Right-wing politicians are experts at presenting themselves as responsible and sensible, but it is the politics of the right that have plunged Europe into disaster after disaster.

Right-wing politics gave us the banking and economic crash, the climate crisis, the rise of homophobia and racism and the vaccine hesitancy that cost lives. It is right-wing policies that fuel homelessness and lead to poorer pay, more discrimination and unsafe work environments. And it is the politics of the right that pours petrol on the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza.

So we must greet the promotion of 'simplification' and 'cutting red tape' with deep suspicion. Our environmental and social standards were hard fought for. We cannot allow the rest of this 合法博彩网站 to be driven by a deregulation agenda.

The market has no conscience 鈥� neither, it seems, do those who worship it.

听听Lukas Mandl (PPE). 鈥� Frau Pr盲sidentin, Frau Kommissarin, liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen!

Mir blutet deshalb das Herz, weil die Europ盲ische Union, die brauchen wir f眉r unsere Sicherheit, die brauchen wir f眉r unsere Wirtschaft, wenn wir an den Binnenmarkt denken und alles, was dieser Binnenmarkt m枚glich gemacht hat, 眉ber Jahrzehnte.

听听沤eljana Zovko (PPE). 鈥� Madam President, Commissioner, Europe stands at the crossroad, a crossroad of security, trade and growing global threats. But above all, our economy is at a crossroad to survive or to thrive.

SMEs represent 99.8听% of all active businesses in Europe, employing nearly 90 million people. In today's volatile times, we cannot afford for our businesses and industries to be the ones to fall behind, suffocated by excessive regulation. From the automotive and energy industries to steel and aluminium, we cannot allow them to be held back by unbalanced green policies and red tape.

The Omnibus package is a final call, a final call for Europe to introduce simpler rules, stronger investments and unlock potential to boost our competitiveness.

Alongside with increased defence spending, the only way forward is to create a more favourable business environment.

The EUR 6 billion that we can cut in annual administrative costs must be reinvested in our innovation, research and development. History will not forgive us if we don't do this step now.

听听Nina Carberry (PPE). 鈥� Madam听President, Commissioner, over 60听% of EU companies today identify excessive regulation as a significant barrier to investment and 55听% of SMEs cite regulatory and administrative burdens as their main challenge.

In the current EU political climate, marked by concerns over tariffs, trade tensions and the spectre of Donald Trump, simplification in EU rules have never been more crucial.听The Commissioner's latest simplification package could save our companies EUR听6.3 billion in administrative costs.

However, as we streamline, we must maintain regulatory certainty and clarity. I welcome proposals to revise the scope of the CSRD, reducing heavy burdens on SMEs and enabling them to prioritise innovation.听Yet, simplification cannot compromise our climate commitments. With clear climate targets for 2030 and beyond, the fundamental course of direction is not changing and so regulatory adjustments must reinforce, not weaken our green objectives.

In this context, I have two questions for the Commission. Firstly, will the upcoming agricultural simplification be as ambitious as those in the first Omnibus proposal and can you provide more detail here, please? Secondly, in the context of the EU-UK reset, could you clarify how simplifications within the CBAM may affect alignment with the UK's ETS?

听听Dirk Gotink (PPE). 鈥� Voorzitter, we staan op een keerpunt in Europa. Oude vrienden keren ons de rug toe en oude vijanden worden steeds sterker. Vooral als Europa de leiding neemt op het vlak van bijvoorbeeld klimaat, volgen andere werelddelen ons niet meer.

We zijn geen "market makers" meer. Met name tegen de collega's van de S&D wil ik graag zeggen dat de wereld echt is veranderd. We zijn niet meer de baas. De kracht van onze economie en de concurrentiekracht van onze bedrijven zijn nu essentieel om ons te beschermen en relevant te blijven in de wereld. En dat gaat niet goed.

Het afgelopen mandaat was dit Huis massaproducent van meer wetten en regelgeving, met meer complexiteit: taxonomie, CSRD en CSDDD zijn daar heel goede voorbeelden van. Het is veelzeggend dat er nu wetgeving wordt aangepast die nog niet eens is ingegaan.

Als we onze bedrijven en vooral het MKB niet ontzien, kunnen ze hun positie op de wereldmarkt wel vergeten. Dat is al gebeurd met de staal-, chemie- en cementsector. We moeten vereenvoudigen om concurrerend te blijven. Maar laten we ook eens beginnen met onze bedrijven gewoon te vertrouwen en te verwachten dat ze hun werk goed willen doen.

Uit onderzoek blijkt dat de complexiteit van de regelgeving een van de belangrijkste redenen is voor ondernemers om hun activiteiten stop te zetten. Daarom is deze eerste Omnibus een stap in de goede richting. Ik hoop op een hele serie van Omnibussen. Ons verzet tegen de complexiteit van de regelgeving moet langdurig en vasthoudend zijn, op alle niveaus. Dit is nodig voor onze bestaanzekerheid en om het vertrouwen van ondernemers in het Europese project te herstellen.

Maar laten we niet vergeten dat dit voorstel slechts een eerste stap kan zijn. Zojuist werd ook door andere collega's benadrukt dat we verder moeten gaan. We zullen moeten herzien. Er is een herziening nodig van de natuurherstelverordening en niet alleen van de CSRD, maar ook van andere wetgeving die onze boeren, tuinders, vissers, maar vooral ook ons MKB belemmeren.

Ik roep de Commissie dan ook op om de komende tijd meer ambitie te tonen. Dit is een heel goed voorstel, maar het gaat nog niet ver genoeg. U bevindt zich op een betere weg. Zoals we in Nederland zeggen: "Beter ten halve gekeerd dan ten hele gedwaald". Ik wens u daarbij heel veel succes.

(Fine della procedura "catch the eye")

听听Maria Lu铆s Albuquerque, Member of the Commission. 鈥� Madam听President,听honourable Members, thank you for your contributions to this important discussion.

To deliver on our ambitious goals, we must continue this positive engagement and work together. We want to move forward swiftly, without delay and with the co-legislators' support.

Going forward, I would like to highlight that each Commissioner will present an annual progress report on implementation and enforcement to the respective 合法博彩网站 committee. The reports will present progress towards key policy objectives, enforcement and simplification actions and take stock of stakeholder dialogues, stress tests and reality checks.

We also wish to work closely with you to deliver fast progress on simplification measures. To this end, I would like to emphasise that this legislation is urgent and requires prioritisation, in particular our 'stop the clock' proposal contained in the first Omnibus proposal on sustainability reporting. This is why we identify them as such in our work programme and are consulting actively with 合法博彩网站 on them and would encourage you to handle them with priority.

We also hope to count on your support to minimise additional administrative burdens introduced during the legislative process. For this purpose, we will put forward a simple methodology that could help you assess the impacts of significant amendments. We also believe that it is important that each institution sets the resources to deliver on this commitment in our existing interinstitutional agreement.

To conclude, honourable Members, as you can see, this Commission is firmly committed to improving implementation and delivering simpler and more cost-efficient rules. We hope to count on your support so that we can deliver fast and sustained changes on the ground in the coming months and years.

听听Presidente. 鈥� La discussione 猫 chiusa.

La votazione si svolger脿 domani.

听听Presidente. 鈥� L'ordine del giorno reca la relazione di Siegfried Mure艧an e Sven Mikser, a nome della commissione per gli affari esteri e della commissione per i bilanci, sull'istituzione dello strumento per le riforme e la crescita per la Repubblica di Moldova ! 鈥� C10-0127/2024 鈥� ) (A10-0006/2025).

听听Siegfried Mure艧an, rapporteur. 鈥� Madam President, dear colleagues, Commissioner, today we are sending a very strong signal. We are sending a very strong signal to citizens of the European Union, but also to citizens in our immediate neighbourhood in candidate countries: Europe is delivering!

Tomorrow, we are going to have the final vote here in the plenary of the European 合法博彩网站 on the EUR听1.9听billion growth facility for the Republic of Moldova. We believe in this project. The way in which it was agreed by the European 合法博彩网站 and the Council, with the support of the European Commission, will allow the Republic of Moldova to become economically, socially, institutionally even stronger. It will be closer to European standards after the implementation of this growth and reform facility: EUR听1.9听billion to support the economy, to support private sector, to support citizens over the next three years. Money for investments in parallel with reforms that will strengthen the public administration, that will improve the competitiveness of the country.

We are doing this because the Republic of Moldova is a country deeply rooted in European values. We still vividly remember the first weeks of the illegal and illegitimate invasion of Russian armed forces into Ukraine. The people of Moldova opened their houses for refugees in Ukraine. For people coming from Ukraine and looking for security, they found it in the Republic of Moldova, with some Moldovan authorities and some Moldovan citizens acting in line with European values.

We saw people of Moldova expressing themselves in elections, in a referendum, in this direction. They share our values. They want to become members of the Union. So it is our obligation to support. And we know this is good for Moldova, but it will also be good for Europe, because the Republic of Moldova is a direct neighbour. It is not only an EU candidate country, but it is neighbouring the European Union, and we know that Moldova's security is Europe's security.

We can only be secure and safe inside the borders of the Union if our neighbours are safe. This is why strengthening Moldova, supporting Moldova is also in the fundamental interest of the European Union, even more so now when we are seeing our long-standing partner across the Atlantic unfortunately disengaging from Europe 鈥� in terms of trade, in terms of economy, in terms of security and defence, in terms of defending, unfortunately, democracy, human rights and the rule of law. We are seeing the threat in the East. We are seeing the uncertainties across the Atlantic. So the reaction for us and the answer for us is clear: we stick together as EU Member States, we support each other and we also support the candidate countries.

These were the principles on the basis of which here, in the European 合法博彩网站, we worked throughout the process of adopting this growth and reform facility for the Republic of Moldova. Sven Mikser, my co-rapporteur on behalf of the Foreign Affairs Committee, and myself were lucky enough to work closely with the shadow rapporteurs from the other groups. And last week we had a vote with a large majority in a joint meeting of the two committees that were decisive here.

We had a vote with a large majority because the key objectives of 合法博彩网站 for this process were fulfilled. We said we want to adopt this facility fast, and we want to adopt it in a way in which it is good for Europe and good for Moldova. We set two primary objectives. Firstly, as soon as the Moldovan authorities put forward a reform and growth plan and the European Commission adopts it, we want the pre-financing paid to the Republic of Moldova to be more comprehensive.

The European Commission proposed 7听%. The Council agreed to 7听%. We demanded a fundamental increase and, due to the unity of the European 合法博彩网站, we managed to agree, together with the Council and Commission, on an increase to 18听%. That is EUR听200听million more for the people of Moldova due to the work that we have done together here in the European institutions, at European Union level.

The second objective was to increase the grant component, to make more grants available for the people of Moldova. We have achieved all this. The mandate is achieved. This is why tomorrow, with a large majority, we are going to give a positive vote to this facility 鈥� a clear signal to the people of Moldova that Moldova is Europe, and Europe is Moldova.

听听Sven Mikser, rapporteur. 鈥� Madam President, Commissioner Kos, dear colleagues, we worked in a very good spirit of cooperation 鈥� the two co-rapporteurs as well as the two committees responsible for this file. Establishing a Reform and Growth Facility for the Republic of Moldova is significant in several ways. Moldova is a candidate country which, despite a multitude of different challenges, has a pro-European government that is truly committed to carrying out an ambitious reform agenda. As demonstrated by the constitutional referendum as well as the presidential election last year, a majority of Moldovan people also see their country's future in our Union.

The growth facility 鈥� which at EUR听1.9听billion for the years 2025 to 2027 is the largest ever financial support package for Moldova 鈥� demonstrates that the European Union is also living up to our end of the bargain, and is helping Moldovan people and the country's institutions to prepare to assume the responsibilities of an EU Member State as soon as possible.

There is a real urgency to our action. The Commission submitted its proposal for the growth facility, which was modelled on the Western Balkans facility, last year. Since then, the already previously complicated political and economic situation in Moldova has become even more challenging, exacerbated by the energy crisis that was caused by the discontinuation of gas supply by Russia's Gazprom. Meanwhile, the true extent and nature of Russia's brazen interference in Moldova's democratic processes has become increasingly apparent.

We do understand the existential nature of these challenges. Therefore, I would like to commend the Commission for the decision to provide emergency energy assistance to Moldova, launching the comprehensive energy strategy. I would also like to underline how swiftly we managed to complete our parliamentary debates on the growth facility, and the interinstitutional negotiations with the Council and Commission.

Meanwhile, even despite the unprecedented swiftness of these talks, we managed to strengthen the facility by raising the pre-financing rate that my co-rapporteur already mentioned and increasing the non-repayable component of the facility by another EUR听100听million, to a total of EUR听520听million.

I am optimistic that after the adoption of the growth plan, the implementation of the facility will start delivering towards the long-term strategic goals of boosting Moldova's economic competitiveness, and making its institutions and its energy infrastructure more resilient. It will also help the country to further strengthen its ability to withstand and resist attempts by malicious external actors in Russia to interfere in Moldova's democratic processes.

But alongside the strategic transformation of Moldova's economy, it is also important for the implementation of the facility to make an immediate positive impact on the Moldovan people's lives. Let us recall that, even before the recent acute energy crisis, Moldova's economy had suffered a lot because of the effects of Russia's aggression against Ukraine.

So there is a real urgency, and we need to show that we are truly committed. In that light. I would also like to commend the Polish Presidency, which is working hard to see the opening of the first clusters in the accession negotiations.

During the AFET visit to Moldova less than two weeks ago, we saw the magnitude of the challenges, we saw who we are up against, but we also saw the dedication of Moldovan pro-European leaders. I hope that at tomorrow's vote 合法博彩网站 will once again show our overwhelming support to the legitimate aspirations of the Moldovan people to live in a democratic, prosperous and European country.

听听Marta Kos, Member of the Commission. 鈥� Madam President, honourable Members, in the past months, Moldova withstood the biggest hybrid attack in its history. This included vote buying, disinformation campaigns and cyber attacks. At the end of last year, Russia cut off gas supplies to Moldova and subjected the country to aggressive energy blackmail. This was clearly meant to destabilise the government, spike inflation and discredit the country's European path only months before an election.

In such turbulent times, reliable friends matter. This is what the EU has demonstrated in the past month. How?

First, we provided Moldova with immediate budget support to push the energy prices back down to the pre-crisis level.

Second, we seize the moment with a strategy for energy independence and resilience. It will integrate Moldova into the European electricity market and help it gain full control over their energy supplies. They will be completely decoupled from Russian energy by the end of next year. This is very ambitious.听For comparison, it took the Baltic states 15 years to do this integration. With Moldova, we want to do it just in two years.

And third, we approach Moldova respecting its full territorial integrity. Our offer included the Transnistria region, where a humanitarian crisis was looming. Of course, we attached important conditions. One of the results was that for the first time ever, Moldova's public television can be watched in the Transnistria region. Romanian language schools became accessible, illegal checkpoints were removed, and political prisoners were freed in a bit less than one month.

Ultimately, Russia felt compelled to restart gas transfers to keep the Transnistria region afloat, but to do so, they now need to pay market prices, which will cost them hundreds of millions of euros just until the end of this heating season.

Our intervention matched the cynical games of Moscow. It ensured that nobody in Moldova had to go without light or heating because of skyrocketing prices. It defused the topic as a vote winner for those who want to weaken Europe. It demonstrated that in turbulent times, the EU is a partner to rely on.

We are now adding another piece to our support for Moldova, the Reform and Growth Facility. It amounts, as we have heard, to EUR 1.9 billion and it's the largest EU financial support package for Moldova since its independence. The plan aims to double Moldova's economy in the next decade and start integrating the country in key parts of the European internal market.

I would like to personally thank the AFET and Budget Committee, rapporteurs Sven Mikser and Siegfried Mure葯an, and all Members of the European 合法博彩网站 who worked on the facility. The speed of the negotiations reflects the urgency on the ground and we did it really excellent.

Together, as we have already heard, we have adapted the pre-financing rate to the new circumstances. The higher rate of 18听% will further help Moldova mitigate the impact of energy crises and free itself of future Russian blackmail. We have also agreed to add an additional EUR 100 million in non-repayable support. On this, the Commission has a formal declaration on the source of funding for the increased assistance provided under the facility, which has been sent to the 合法博彩网站's services for inclusion in the verbatim record of this debate.

Decisions with the Moldovan authorities on the reform agenda are advancing well, and we expect it this week. This will allow us to disburse the pre-financing at the end of March or at the beginning of April, and provided that all necessary requirements are met, the first regular payment under the growth plan will follow in July. We have, and I'm very happy about this, also just pass the decision on the integration on Moldova into the Single Euro Payment Area. This will allow faster and cheaper euro transfers across Europe, as we expect from autumn on, and we are working with Moldova to integrate them into the EU Roaming Area by the end of the year. This will make it cheaper for Moldovans to call, text and use the internet when travelling or doing business in the EU.

The Republic of Moldova has set itself the ambitious goal of EU membership by 2030. This is technically听possible. To achieve it, Moldova needs to keep up its impressive reform path and align with EU legislation, and in particular reform its public administration, judiciary and anti-corruption frameworks. Because of efforts to integrate Moldova deeper and faster into our single market can only pay dividends if European investors and businesses know they will find a business climate that is predictable and safe,

In times of crisis, true partnerships are tested. Moldova has seen a Europe of action and not mere words. Moldova belongs to our European family. As it moves forward on its EU path, it will never walk alone.

听听Jonas Sj枚stedt, rapporteur for the opinion of the CONT Committee. 鈥� Madam President, I would like to thank the two rapporteurs, Sven Mikser and Siegfried Mure艧an. You've been working in a very inclusive way, you've been working with the highest possible speed and you nevertheless achieved substantial improvements of this facility, especially when it comes to the part that is grants and when it comes to the pre-financing. That is really needed now, at a time when Russia used energy as a weapon against Moldova, at a time when USAID withdraws essential support for the country.

The Committee on Budgetary Control adopted with great unanimity a number of amendments that would have improved the transparency and the auditing of the facility. Most of them were not taken on board because the rapporteurs wanted to have a swift negotiation with the Council. I can understand that, but the challenge is still there to strengthen the auditing in Moldova and to make sure that taxpayers' money is used in the best possible way. I am sure that we will have many opportunities to come back to that debate on strengthening the national auditing system in Moldova.

听听David McAllister, on behalf of the PPE Group. 鈥� Madam听President, Madam听Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, two weeks ago, I had the privilege of leading the three-day AFET mission to Chi葯in膬u. It was indeed a timely visit, just a few days after the provisional trilogue agreement on the Moldova Reform and Growth Facility, which previous speakers have already explained.

In Chi葯in膬u my impression was 鈥� and I felt 鈥� a profound sense of optimism surrounding the transformative potential of a EUR听1.9听billion facility, because it offers much more than just financial assistance: it brings hope for a brighter future.

The facility will significantly improve the country's infrastructure. Thanks to our support as a European Union, Moldova can finally reduce its dependence on Russia.

But this brings me to a critical point. With more and more malign interference and an intentionally orchestrated energy crisis, the Kremlin is trying to destabilise Moldova's democracy and foster discontent ahead of the upcoming parliamentary elections in autumn.

Moldova embodies Europe's core values, showing unwavering solidarity with Ukrainian refugees, demonstrating remarkable resilience in the face of Russia's blackmail, and displaying immense courage in aligning the country's future with a united Europe. President Maia Sandu has done tremendously in addressing the impact of the war on Moldova's doorstep, while bringing the country closer to the European Union.

Our message to the people of Moldova is and remains: we hear you, we see you, and we will stand by you.

听听Auke Zijlstra, namens de PfE-Fractie. 鈥� Voorzitter, Moldavi毛 wil snelle toetreding tot de Unie. En dat is geen sinecure, want er zijn forse problemen. De economie, de rechtsstaat, mensenrechtenschendingen 鈥� ook bij vrouwen en minderheden 鈥�, de staat van de gevangenissen, de kwaliteit van het bestuur en het feit dat een fors deel van de arbeidsbevolking al is vertrokken naar de EU.

De discussie ging echter niet over deze kwesties, maar voortdurend over Oekra茂ne, waarbij Moldavi毛 zelfs als frontlinie werd aangeduid. Daar kunnen ze zelf toch ook niet blij mee zijn.

Er is al forse financi毛le steun gekoppeld aan het toetredingsproces, maar er is nog meer hulp nodig: twee miljard aan leningen en giften. De Europese Commissie heeft tegen de regels in geen risico鈥慽nschatting gemaakt. De wensen van de Commissie begrotingscontrole, waaronder een onafhankelijke rekenkamer en transparantie inzake de bestedingen, werden afgewezen. Het gaat om heel veel geld, meer dan 10听% van het bnp, dus kan een land dat 眉berhaupt verwerken?

Ik heb tegengestemd. Niet alleen vanwege het ontbreken van een analyse vooraf, het ontbreken van controle tijdens het proces en achteraf en het ontbreken van een overzicht van wie uiteindelijk het geld krijgt, maar omdat ik vind dat je voortgang in het toetredingsproces niet kunt kopen. Je onderschat de menselijke factor als je denkt met subsidies corruptie te bestrijden of het gevangeniswezen humaner te maken of de 45听% tegenstemmers in Moldavi毛 ook enthousiast te maken voor de Unie. Straks zijn op papier alle maatregelen doorgevoerd, maar is er praktisch niets veranderd, behalve dan dat het land lid is.

Samenlevingen kunnen groeien naar een hoger niveau, maar dat gaat niet sneller als je dat aan de Europese Unie uitbesteedt. Ook niet voor twee miljard.

Solu葲ia la problemele de securitate, economice, sociale 葯i politice din Republica Moldova ar fi unirea celor dou膬 state. Pl膬cile tectonice ale istoriei se mi葯c膬 卯n acest moment 鈥� cu sprijinul Uniunii Europene, visul rom芒nilor de o parte 葯i de alta a Prutului s-ar putea 卯ndeplini.

葮tim foarte bine 卯ns膬 c膬 stilul Bruxelles-ului 葯i al Strasbourg-ului este trasul de timp, 卯n speran葲a c膬 problemele se vor rezolva de la sine. F膬r膬 sus葲inere adecvat膬, f膬r膬 o diversificare a op葲iunilor politice pro-europene 葯i pro-rom芒ne葯ti de la Chi葯in膬u, pot exista surprize nepl膬cute la alegerile parlamentare. Inclusiv unioni葯tii trebuie sprijini葲i.

Revenind la mecanismul pe care vre葲i s膬-l institui葲i, AUR consider膬 c膬 orice sprijin pentru fra葲ii basarabeni este de bun augur. Dar vreau s膬 fac trei observa葲ii:

- 卯n primul r芒nd, moldovenii vor vedea c膬 din acea sum膬 total膬 de 1,9 miliarde de euro, doar 520 de milioane de euro sunt granturi, restul fiind 卯mprumuturi condi葲ionate. Raportul dintre banii nerambursabili 葯i credite trebuia s膬 fie invers;

- 卯n al doilea r芒nd, reformele cerute 卯n Republica Moldova vor fi 卯ntoarse de pro-ru葯i 卯mpotriva actualei administra葲ii 葯i folosite 卯n alegerile parlamentare. A se vedea 葯i blocajul PNRR din Rom芒nia, condi葲ionat tot de reforme care nu s-au realizat. Cere葲i mai mult dec芒t poate duce un guvern de la Chi葯in膬u aflat sub asediu necontenit;

- 葯i nu 卯n ultimul r芒nd, dac膬 vre葲i s膬 rezolva葲i problema energetic膬 a Republicii Moldova, trebuie revizuit膬 situa葲ia pie葲ei unice europene. Rom芒nia, care este autosuficient膬 pe gaze 葯i electricitate, a ajuns s膬 pl膬teasc膬 cele mai mari facturi din Uniunea European膬. Acest lucru este relevant pentru c膬 Republica Moldova a sc膬pat de dependen葲a de Rusia, import芒nd toate gazele 葯i tot curentul din Rom芒nia. Noi producem 葯i import膬m 卯n acest moment pentru dou膬 state.

听听Dan Barna, 卯n numele grupului Renew. 鈥� Doamn膬 pre葯edint膬, salut elaborarea planului de cre葯tere pentru Republica Moldova 葯i felicit Comisia 葯i pe doamna comisar Kos pentru atitudinea foarte constructiv膬 ar膬tat膬 卯n negociere.

La referendumul privind aderarea Republicii Moldova la Uniunea European膬, Rusia a risipit peste 100 de milioane de euro 卯n bani murdari, 卯ncerc芒nd s膬 influen葲eze rezultatul. 脦ns膬 Chi葯in膬ul a rezistat 卯ntr-un mod absolut exemplar, iar Moldova este ast膬zi un adev膬rat model pentru statele deja membre ale Uniunii 卯n ceea ce prive葯te combaterea amenin葲膬rilor hibride. Un stat care din 1992 rezist膬 cu Armata a 14-a a Rusiei pe teritoriul s膬u, care a s膬rit 卯n ajutorul Ucrainei odat膬 cu invazia rus膬 葯i care nu se abate nicio secund膬 de la viitorul european, merit膬 tot sprijinul nostru.

Iar pentru Vladimir Putin mesajul este unul foarte clar: Europa 葯tie s膬 se mobilizeze 葯i s膬 sprijine concret un stat prieten 葯i candidat la aderare. Putin a 卯ncercat s膬 p膬c膬leasc膬 o 葲ar膬 cu 100 de milioane pentru propagand膬. Noi r膬spundem cu 2 miliarde, cu aproape 2 miliarde pentru dezvoltare. Da, domnule Putin, Uniunea exist膬 葯i nu pleac膬 nic膬ieri.

Oric芒t s-ar schimba direc葲ia din care bate v芒ntul geopolitic, un lucru este confirmat ast膬zi din nou: Europa nu-葯i va abandona alia葲ii 葯i prietenii. Avem capacitatea 葯i avem determinarea de a p膬stra Europa un continent al p膬cii 葯i bun膬st膬rii pentru oameni. M芒ine, la votul pentru facilitatea de cre葯tere, vom face un pas ferm 卯n aceast膬 direc葲ie. 脦n cazul Moldovei vom mai face pa葯i la negocierea viitorului buget multianual, 卯n care ea 葯i celelalte state candidate trebuie s膬 primeasc膬 fonduri de preaderare.

Nimic nu ne va abate de la acest drum, la fel cum Moldova nu a ezitat niciodat膬 s膬 probeze cu fapte aspira葲ia european膬.

听听Kai Tegethoff, on behalf of the Verts/ALE Group. 鈥� Madam President, the Moldovan people decided to turn to the EU to amend their own constitution and to ask for our support on their way to EU accession.

Now we have to deliver. And we do. With this EUR听1.9听billion Reform and Growth Facility for Moldova, we support Moldova's path to EU accession. We help to mitigate the challenges that arise from the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine. We help to strengthen Moldova's administration, civil society and judicial system. And we help Moldova to gain independency in their energy supply.听And on this, the Moldovan Government was quite clear: Moldova wants to build up renewables; Moldova wants to increase energy efficiency; Moldova wants to work on building renovation.

In this way, we support the Moldovan Government and we are proud to help prepare Moldova to become a member of the European Union.

听听Jussi Saramo, on behalf of The Left Group. 鈥� Madam President, the most important thing is to stand with the Moldovan people consistently. Moldovans have been trying to balance and survive between the EU and Russia, to sell their products wherever they can. But the truth is that Russia wants to preserve the frozen conflicts it has created.

Putin is not afraid that NATO would want to attack by coming close to Russia's borders. He has moved his troops from the NATO borders into Ukraine. And Putin is not concerned about the safety of the Russian-speaking minority in Moldova. He's bombing Russian speakers in Ukraine.

But Putin is afraid of democracy and successful states near the Russian borders. He wants their neighbours to be poor and miserable. Now, when the US is leaving Moldova, Russia still wants to suppress Moldova. Moldova needs us now more than ever. We must stand up and take responsibility for this facility and more broadly.

Bei Medianverm枚gen liegen deutsche Haushalte auf Platz听15, weit hinter Franzosen, Italienern oder Spaniern. Trotzdem zahlen wir Deutschen den h枚chsten Beitrag zur EU听鈥� knapp 30听Milliarden听Euro j盲hrlich. Das entspricht der Einkommenssteuer von 眉ber 3听Millionen Deutschen; 眉ber 3听Millionen Deutsche gehen arbeiten, um den Laden hier zu finanzieren. Diese Menschen erwarten zu Recht, dass wir sparsam mit ihren Steuern umgehen, weil das Geld nicht vom Himmel f盲llt, sondern mit harter Arbeit verdient werden muss.

2听Milliarden听Euro wollen Sie jetzt nach Moldawien schicken, als Vorschuss f眉r die EU鈥慚itgliedschaft. Wir lehnen diese Verschwendung ab, weil der gr枚脽te Teil dieses Geldes in den Taschen von korrupten Politikern und Oligarchen verschwinden wird. Im Korruptionsindex von Transparency International steht Moldau auf den hinteren Pl盲tzen. Weil wir die Interessen der Steuerzahler in Deutschland und Frankreich und anderen Mitgliedstaaten verteidigen m眉ssen, lehnen wir die 2听Milliarden听Euro f眉r Moldawien ab, denn f眉r die Spendierfreudigkeit in diesem Haus m眉ssen wir Deutschen horrende Steuern zahlen.

Selbst die Rente wird in Deutschland versteuert. 脺ber 7听Millionen Rentner in Deutschland haben weniger als 1听000听Euro im Monat nach vielen Jahrzehnten harter Arbeit. Insgesamt zahlen die Deutschen fast 1听000听Milliarden Euro Steuern im Jahr, und trotzdem fehlt es an allen Ecken und Enden. Br眉cken und Stra脽en verfallen, Schulen und Universit盲ten sind marode, Krankenh盲user m眉ssen schlie脽en. Der desolate Zustand Deutschlands l盲sst sich nur noch mit gigantischen Schulden verschleiern. Deshalb m眉ssen wir die Verschwendung beenden, und wir werden dieser EU den Geldhahn abdrehen.

Margaret Thatcher hat mal gesagt: Das Problem der Sozialisten ist, dass ihnen irgendwann das Geld fremder Leute ausgeht. So ist es auch hier. Wenn Deutschland nicht mehr zahlt, dann ist die Party vorbei. Europa kann nur eine Zukunft haben, wenn europ盲ische Politiker die Interessen ihrer W盲hler an erste Stelle setzen, und genau das werden wir tun. Sp盲testens nach der n盲chsten Bundestagswahl gilt: Schluss mit der Gro脽z眉gigkeit auf Deutschlands Nacken, Schluss mit den unsinnigen Geldgeschenken an alle Welt.

De asemenea, este foarte bine c膬 acorda葲i o aten葲ie sporit膬 regiunii ocupate 卯n mod ilegal de c膬tre armata Federa葲iei Ruse de mai bine de 30 de ani. Este important ca Republica Moldova s膬 tr膬iasc膬 卯n pace 葯i s膬 beneficieze de suportul Uniunii Europene.

听听Reinier Van Lanschot (Verts/ALE). 鈥� Madam President, dear colleagues, Moldova chose Europe. Recently, Moldova was at a crossroads and in its history, and despite all the Russian interference, they chose to walk the path that leads to Europe.

In the quickly changing world order, we need to start backing words with deeds. And this growth plan shows that we will invest to lift people out of poverty, build solar panels, schools and hospitals. This growth plan shows strong reforms will make Moldova ready to join the EU. And this growth plan shows Europe chose Moldova.

And it tells it tells those that want to join our Union, if you walk the path to Europe, Europe will walk with you. We did this in four months, which for the EU is as fast as travelling at the speed of light. And the Moldovans are not wasting time either. Last week they joined the Single Euro Payments Area.

So let's vote in favour of this growth plan and show the people in Moldova, you'll never walk alone.

听听Thomas Geisel (NI). 鈥� Frau Pr盲sidentin, liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen! Die EU m枚chte der Republik Moldau Mittel in H枚he von 2听Milliarden听Euro zur Verf眉gung stellen; damit soll das Land fit f眉r einen bevorstehenden EU鈥態eitritt gemacht werden. Aber wer will diesen Beitritt eigentlich? Die Bev枚lkerung Moldaus ist in dieser Frage tief gespalten. Beim Referendum im November letzten Jahres konnten sich die Bef眉rworter eines EU鈥態eitritts nur 盲u脽erst knapp durchsetzen, n盲mlich aufgrund der Stimmen der gar nicht in Moldau lebenden Auslandsmoldauer. Die Bev枚lkerung in Europa wird zu dieser Sache gar nicht befragt.

Immerhin wurde uns im Haushaltsausschuss des Parlaments eine Studie pr盲sentiert, der zufolge die Aufnahme der drei ehemaligen Sowjetrepubliken Moldau, Georgien und Ukraine die Union an die Grenzen ihrer Belastbarkeit f眉hren w眉rde. Ohne einen dramatischen Anstieg der Zahlungsverpflichtungen der Mitgliedstaaten oder drastische K眉rzungen bei der Gemeinsamen Agrarpolitik oder den Koh盲sionsfonds wird sich das nicht machen lassen.

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, angesichts ohnehin schon wachsender Spaltungstendenzen innerhalb der Union gef盲hrden wir mit diesen Erweiterungspl盲nen die Zukunft unserer Union. Das sollten wir nicht tun.

However, Moldova still faces substantial external challenges. The ongoing threats from Russia, including the instability in the region of Transnistria, continue to jeopardise Moldova's sovereignty and European aspirations.

Despite these pressures, Moldova has remained determined, pushing forward with its reforms and advancing EU standards with unwavering resolve. And the growth facility is not just a financial tool, it is a clear message of our united support for Moldova.

听听Rihards Kols (ECR). 鈥� Madam President, dear colleagues, it is clear that the Reform and Growth Facility for Moldova is essential, especially now: with USAID withdrawing, a major gap has opened in strengthening Moldova's institutions, leaving it vulnerable to external threats. Russia will exploit this. As Moldova nears its parliamentary elections, the risk of foreign interference is high. Russian meddling is well-documented.

We must bolster Moldova's resilience now. This is about more than financial aid. It is about resilience, reforms and Moldova's EU path. Strengthening institutions, independent media and electoral integrity must be immediate, not gradual.

The first payout is set at 20听%, but in this critical moment, that's not enough. We should amend the plan and increase it by an additional 5听%. Moving faster and further sends a clear message: Moldova belongs in Europe, free from malign influence.

听听Sebastian Tynkkynen (ECR). 鈥� Madam听President, this proposed investment package is a crucial step for Moldova's EU integration. However, Moldova still faces major challenges like poverty and inequality, requiring real development beyond financial figures. These are challenges we must not forget.

Yet their greatest threat is Russia. The terrorist state does not only focus on Ukraine. No. They are trying their best to destabilise Moldova, an EU candidate country. This is why our job is to ensure that not a single cent of this facility benefits those who seek to undermine Moldova's sovereignty.

While the facility is a positive step, the ultimate goal is to ensure long-term stability and prosperity in the region. Moldova's future lies in Europe, where democracy and security prevail.

听听Helmut Brandst盲tter (Renew). 鈥� Madam President, first of all, I want to say Austria has a good tradition, more than 20 years of development cooperation with Moldova, so we know very good development. And so thank you, Commissioner, that you talked about the enlargement of the EU also with Moldova within the next years.

Of course, we see the geopolitical situation. We see what Russia is doing. Russia is destroying; Europe helps 鈥� Europe helps with development solidarity. Russia uses energy to blackmail you; the EU installs solar panels and connects the energy centres. Russia divides; the EU unites.

And 鈥� that I saw as an election observer 鈥� the Moldovans are strong. They defend their democracy, and we have to help them there as well.

One more thing: there is beautiful soil there, they are great agriculture, wine we know, and also wonderful culture. It's always great to listen to Moldovan singers, like Valentina Naforni葲a. If she is in Vienna State Opera, in any other opera, please go listen to her, she's wonderful, like many others as well.

听听Lukas Sieper (NI). 鈥� Madam President, to the people of Moldova.

In Moldova's steadfast home tonight, a family gathers, brave in fight; outside lurks shadow, dark and cold, yet freedom's fire burns so bold.

From Europe's hearts comes aid anew, financial locks to see them through; this firewood feeds hopeful flames, that warms their dreams and breaks their chains.

With every lock their courage grows, as Europe's strength through aid bestows; defying shadows, fierce and grim, Russian threats shall not break in.

And so Moldova, proud and free, takes up the chance for all to see; Europe's support a beacon bright, turns darkness into hopeful light.

听听Marta Kos, Member of the Commission. 鈥� Madam听President, dear听Mr听Mikser, dear听Mr听Mure艧an, we did it. We achieved a lot, and I hope that we will get all the necessary support tomorrow. Thank you, all the honourable Members of the European 合法博彩网站, for this debate and for your support for Moldova's European path. Your commitment demonstrates that the European 合法博彩网站 stands firmly behind those who choose democracy, reform and a future within our Union.

Today's discussion reinforced the crucial message: in times of crisis, reliable friends matter. Moldova faced an unprecedented attempt at destabilisation through energy blackmail, disinformation and economic pressure. The EU responded with action. With the Reform and Growth Facility, we are accelerating this path. And to be on the side of facts, meaning to be on the side of the truth, we agreed to allocate EUR听520听million in grants, alongside with EUR听1.5听billion in low-interest loans.

Hearing about lack of transparency, my message: we haven't started yet. And I will make sure with my services that every euro will be spent as it should be spent.

So Moldova's future is in Europe, and we are helping the country advance on its reforms and strengthen its institutions. As Moldova advances, it will not walk alone. The EU will remain a reliable partner, helping the Moldovan people move closer to their home in Europe, which is a free, secure and prosperous society.

听听Siegfried Mure艧an, rapporteur. 鈥� Madam President, dear colleagues, thank you for this debate in which we showed clearly all here in the House almost, that we understand the importance that the Republic of Moldova has for the European Union, for our safety, for our stability, for our prosperity.

We have worked together. I would like to first and foremost thank my co-rapporteur Sven Mikser on behalf of the AFET Committee, but also the shadow rapporteurs that have worked closely with us. We have managed to reach a common agreement with the Council, which includes the top priorities of the European 合法博彩网站. As a result of our work, the support for Moldova will come fast and will come in a more comprehensive form.

I would like to thank Commissioner Kos and all colleagues from the Commission for acting really and truly as an honest broker. And I would also like to thank the Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union, who understood the strategic importance of this file.

In these difficult times, when we are seeing that our common European values, that human rights, the democracy, that the rule of law are challenged by autocrats all around the world, we are giving a strong signal of unity. 27 Member States of the European Union stand by the side of a candidate country, understanding that supporting a candidate country, making it stronger, makes us stronger as well.

Thank you everyone following this positive debate, we are encouraged that tomorrow the planning of the European 合法博彩网站 will give its final and positive vote by a large majority to this Reform and Growth Facility for the Republic of Moldova.

听听Sven Mikser, rapporteur. 鈥� Madam President, I would like to add my words of gratitude to, first of all, my co-rapporteur, Siegfried Mure艧an, but also to all the shadow rapporteurs from the two committees. We had some very substantive discussions and debates, but I think there was very much a shared sense of urgency and also a shared sense of purpose.

And the same can be said about the trilogues, so I would like to also thank the Commission, particularly Commissioner Marta Kos, as well as the Polish Presidency and Ambassador Agnieszka Bartol, for those very, very constructive negotiations that helped us to come to a swift and very good outcome.

I'm also reassured by the debate here in this plenary hall today. I think that there is a very strong degree of unity and also a shared sense of purpose, with a very few exceptions. I do believe that Moldova, at this critical moment, needs our help, and I do believe that we also need Moldova. It's not perhaps the largest of the European countries, but it is far too important to be neglected. They deserve their place in our Union.

听听笔谤锄别飞辞诲苍颈肠锄膮肠补. 鈥� Kolejnym punktem porz膮dku obrad jest kr贸tka prezentacja sprawozdania sporz膮dzonego przez Marit Maij w imieniu Komisji Zatrudnienia i Spraw Socjalnych w sprawie Europejskiego Funduszu Spo艂ecznego Plus po roku 2027 () (A10-0014/2025).

听听Marit Maij, rapporteur. 鈥� Voorzitter, elke nacht hebben meer dan 900 mensen in de Europese Unie geen dak boven het hoofd: zij slapen op straat of in opvangcentra. 15听% van de jongeren is werkloos. Te veel vrouwen komen in armoede terecht, vaak na een scheiding. Maar liefst 茅茅n op de vier kinderen in de Europese Unie groeit op in armoede. Armoede bij kinderen neemt niet af, maar neemt toe. Te veel mensen komen niet mee en hebben geen perspectief. Sociale uitsluiting heeft verschrikkelijke gevolgen en kan leiden tot sociaal isolement of erger. Deze problematiek moeten we samen, op Europees niveau, aanpakken.

Morgen stemmen we over de toekomst van het Europees Sociaal Fonds, dat sinds het Verdrag van Rome bestaat. Het is een van de oudste programma's van de Europese Unie en een fonds waar we trots op mogen zijn, omdat het juist opkomt voor de mensen in kwetsbare omstandigheden. Het is bedoeld voor iedereen in Europa: voor mensen met een basisbaan in Groningen, voor gevluchte Oekra茂ners in Polen, voor vrouwen die slachtoffer zijn van geweld en voor arbeidsmigranten die soms moeilijk meekomen in onze samenleving. Laten we ook niet vergeten dat sociaal beleid bijdraagt aan sociale samenhang en daarmee aan veiligheid. Dit is het moment om als Parlement onze prioriteiten duidelijk te maken. In een tijd waarin vooral gesproken wordt over hoe bedrijven nog concurrerender kunnen worden, zeggen wij: vergeet mensen in kwetsbare situaties niet. Daarom stellen we voor dat minstens 25听% van het fonds naar sociale inclusie gaat, zodat iedereen kan meedoen in de samenleving.

Het fonds moet een rol gaan spelen in het tegengaan van dakloosheid en jeugdwerkloosheid en er moet speciale aandacht uitgaan naar vluchtelingen, ongeacht hun status. Het fonds moet zich richten op de bestrijding van armoede bij kinderen. Nu de Commissie onder het mom van vereenvoudiging het mes zet in veel sociale en progressieve wetten, is het ook ontzettend belangrijk dat het Europees Sociaal Fonds een zelfstandig fonds blijft, dat niet wordt samengevoegd met andere fondsen die andere doelen nastreven. Zo niet, zullen de focus en de prioriteiten vervagen indien er een groot paraplufonds komt voor het volgende financi毛le kader.

Onze boodschap is duidelijk: houd het Europees Sociaal Fonds buiten deze plannen en zorg ervoor dat het geld aan de juiste doelen wordt besteed. Dat is nu bij uitstek zorgen dat kinderen niet in armoede opgroeien. Daarom maken wij heel duidelijk dat er minstens 20听miljard euro moet worden vrijgemaakt voor het tegengaan van kinderarmoede via de kindgarantie. De EVP-Fractie probeert dit nu via amendementen uit het verslag te verwijderen. Dit is onbegr某pel某k, vooral omdat zoveel kinderen in armoede opgroeien en armoede en ongelijkheid alleen maar toenemen. Dit is bovendien gevaarlijk. Veiligheid in Europa kunnen we alleen bereiken als we sociale inclusie bewerkstelligen en kinderen perspectief bieden. We zijn het aan de huidige en toekomstige kinderen verplicht om een bedrag te koppelen aan deze ambities. Niet alleen woorden, maar ook daden. Boter bij de vis, zodat we kunnen garanderen dat het geld hiervoor ook beschikbaar komt en om duidelijk te maken dat we onze prioriteiten op dit vlak serieus nemen. Morgen moeten we dus stemmen voor het ESF, inclusief de kindgarantie en de benodigde financi毛le middelen. Ik reken op de steun van iedereen.

听听Marta Kos, Member of the Commission. 鈥� Madam President, madam Rapporteur Marit Maij, honourable Members, thank you for delivering this timely report on the European Social Fund Plus post鈥�2027. The European social model is an intrinsic feature of Europe's growth model now and also in the future.

As you just rightly recalled it, Madam Rapporteur, economic, social and environmental dimensions are interlinked for an EU growth strategy in a context of shifting geopolitical dynamics. Let me say from the outset that ensuring no one is left behind must be a key aspect of our economic policy, because we should not only look at the short term, but we want to leave a world behind in which our children and grandchildren can prosper and be educated. It must be a key dimension of the future, and it must be core to our social policies.

It is not just about the fairness, it is a precondition for transformative policies. It is a precondition for growth and de-risking.

First and foremost, it is a precondition for addressing emerging challenges, amongst others, demographic change is putting the sustainability and adequacy of the European welfare system under pressure. At the same time, increasing labour and skills shortages in the labour market are putting substantial pressure on economic growth and competitiveness. Between now and 2040, the European working age population will decline by 1 million persons each year.

Disparities and social difficulties persist today. Still, some 95 million Europeans are at risk of poverty or social exclusion. This does not only imply social hardship, but especially also a lost potential for our economy. Social and affordable housing are increasingly important concerns for EU citizens, especially for the most vulnerable groups. This situation has important consequences for the EU's territorial, economic and social cohesion, including, I believe, a strong impact on the functioning of our democracies.

To effectively address the challenges that Europe faces, we need to continue to invest in Europe's most important resource, its human capital. We must be ambitious and find ways to be more efficient to deliver on our common goals, given the complicated budgetary context we are facing. This is but one of the reasons that this Commission has issued last week the Union of Skills, a collective effort including all stakeholders across government, education and businesses. There is an urgent need for a transformative shift in Europe's approach to skills. It is vital for our future growth.

But we need more. To ensure fair transition and strengthen resilience and preparedness to economic and social shifts, we must do more on providing equal opportunities and quality jobs. Cohesion policy and the ESF+ specifically have made important contributions to this.

It will be essential that our proposals for the future support the continued implementation of our European way of growth, the European Pillar of Social Rights. The Commission is now preparing the proposals for the next MFF and remains in listening mode. This is a complex process. Status quo is not an option anymore. In current conversations, there are some recurrent topics that come up which you recall: the unanimous call for simplification, but also the acknowledgement of the important budgetary pressures that need to be dealt with.

On 11 February, the Commission set out the road to the next Multiannual Financial Framework, a communication that builds on the political guidelines of President von der Leyen. This marks the beginning of a crucial debate on how we shape Europe's future budget, one that must reflect our shared priorities, address emerging challenges and, importantly, be designed with those who will implement it. Your contribution is crucial in shaping the future. The Commission stands ready to work, hand in hand with the European 合法博彩网站 to build a strong and resilient MFF in the complex economic, social and geostrategic situation we are facing.

I look forward to a fruitful common work to come.

听听Eva Maydell (PPE). 鈥� Madam President, colleagues, Europeans, I've heard these days that Europe is in denial, that we are a political dwarf and that we are weak. So I very much wanted to take the floor today in order to disagree with this statement.

We have faced various crises 鈥� one after the other 鈥� and every time we have proven that we are stronger when tested. We have delivered vaccines to our citizens in record time; we secured gas supplies when Russia cut them off; we tackled economic turmoil. And every time there was talk about disunity, we proved we can succeed.

Today we face yet another situation, where our closest ally often sounds like an adversary, and that makes us feel threatened and uncertain. And at the beginning of this plenary, I want us to remember the words of Robert Schuman, who said: 'Europe will not be made at once [...]. It will be built through concrete achievements which first create a de facto solidarity'. It is the moment of solidarity where words turn into actions, because words do not build Europe.

听听Victor Negrescu (S&D). 鈥� Doamn膬 pre葯edint膬, dragi colegi, Rom芒nia a atins un prag istoric la 18 ani de la aderare: 100 de miliarde de euro primite ca fonduri europene nerambursabile. Suma reprezint膬 investi葲ii concrete 卯n spitale, 葯coli, infrastructur膬 葯i locuri de munc膬 mai bine pl膬tite. Dar acest rezultat nu a fost garantat. A fost nevoie de munc膬 pentru a ne asigura c膬 Rom芒nia prime葯te 葯i folose葯te aceste resurse financiare.

脦n ultimii ani, prin activitatea mea din Parlamentul European, am salvat miliarde de euro din fondurile neutilizate, modific芒nd regulamentele europene pentru a faza proiectele europene. Am contribuit la simplificarea regulilor privind accesarea programelor europene 葯i am amendat bugetul Uniunii Europene pentru ca aceste resurse s膬 ajung膬 卯n regiunea noastr膬.

Dar aceste fonduri nu sunt doar cifre pe h芒rtie. Trebuie s膬 privim 卯nainte: avem nevoie de o absorb葲ie mai bun膬, mai eficient膬, mai mult膬 flexibilitate 葯i o strategie pentru viitor.

Na Uni茫o Europeia, enfrentamos desafios semelhantes. Temos o direito de saber para onde vai o dinheiro dos nossos contribuintes, que projetos s茫o financiados, quem beneficia dos fundos europeus destinados 脿 Ajuda P煤blica ao Desenvolvimento.

听听Jana Toom (Renew). 鈥� Madam听President, colleagues, the Treaty on European Union starts with the objective of creating an ever closer union, and continues in Article 2 with the shared values that this Union shall be based on, including freedom, equality, and respect for the rights of minorities.

Many of the citizens that voted for their countries to enter the Union after the 1990s did so with the hope that their countries and societies will converge to these European values.

What we are seeing in the Commission work programme is that the anti-discrimination directive 鈥� and many other measures for which we did not reach an agreement in five years 鈥� gets withdrawn.

This means that the Council gets handed the perfect weapon: if they ever think that we're asking for too much in the 合法博彩网站 or in the Commission, they just need to drag their feet for long enough and then make the problem disappear.

In the meantime, the message we are sending to Europeans is clear: these values you hoped for will remain unreachable.

It is unacceptable that we allow a couple of holdout countries to prevent the adoption of European rules that deal with values central to the European project. We need to be looking immediately at another proposal for horizontal rules to combat discrimination.

听听Ana Miranda Paz (Verts/ALE). 鈥� Se帽ora presidenta, el mundo est谩 cambiando a un ritmo tan acelerado que tiembla el multilateralismo y la paz. El presidente de Estados Unidos, el se帽or Trump, amenaza a sectores industriales europeos, como el sector del metal en mi pa铆s, Galiza. Como eurodiputada galega, quiero transmitir la preocupaci贸n de miles de trabajadores del sector del metal y de las empresas de construcci贸n naval por las recientes amenazas de aplicar el 25听% de aranceles a la industria metal煤rgica.

Es una amenaza comercial muy grave, porque esta guerra arancelaria tampoco tiene en Europa qui茅n la defienda, se帽ora comisaria. 驴Qu茅 est谩 haciendo la Uni贸n Europea para potenciar sus propios astilleros y la industria auxiliar local? Nada.

Desde el BNG hemos defendido durante muchos a帽os que se potenciara y apoyara la industria europea con ayudas p煤blicas. En el caso de la industria galega, hemos defendido que da trabajo a muchos miles de trabajadores y esta industria ha sufrido recortes, reconversiones, limitaciones de producci贸n y competencia desleal. Y, el 煤ltimo clavo que faltaba, la imposici贸n de aranceles a una industria que es exportadora. 驴Qu茅 va a hacer la Uni贸n Europea para defender al sector del metal?

听听Lynn Boylan (The Left). 鈥� Madam听President, as the EU commits itself to a dangerous policy of rearmament, which is only going to make the world more dangerous, the Irish Government is also getting ready to jettison our triple lock on the deployment of Irish troops.

Let us be very clear: Ireland's neutrality and our long-standing commitment to UN peacekeeping missions has made the world safer. It is attacks on the UN and on neutrality that is making the world less safe.

From our role in leading negotiations on the Treaty of the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons to being the only country to have an unbroken record of UN peacekeeping service since 1958, Ireland's neutrality has been a beacon in this world.

The cynical moves to scrap the triple lock will move us away from the UN and threatens Ireland's neutrality. The most recent poll shows that 75听% of Irish people support our continued neutrality. Yet the Irish Government seems determined to throw its lot in with the EU, to undermine our neutrality at every turn, while the EU is engaging in an arms race. It's time to save the triple lock.

听听Thomas Geisel (NI). 鈥� Frau Pr盲sidentin, liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen! Eines hat Pr盲sident Trump geschafft: Europa redet nur noch von Verteidigung, Aufr眉stung und Waffen. 800听Milliarden will die Kommissionspr盲sidentin von der Leyen ausgeben, to rearm Europe, um Europa wieder zu bewaffnen. Noch besorgniserregender als die schieren Summen scheint mir aber zu sein, wof眉r das Geld ausgegeben werden soll.

Eine Studie von R眉stungslobbyisten aus Deutschland mit dem bezeichnenden Namen听Sparta gibt dar眉ber nun Auskunft. Es geht um die Schaffung einer 鈥瀉symmetrischen 脺berlegenheit鈥�. Es geht um 鈥瀌igitale F眉hrungs眉berlegenheit, Aufkl盲rungs鈥� und Wirk眉berlegenheit, die sofort verf眉gbar und kurzfristig einsetzbar sein sollen鈥�.

Mit Landesverteidigung hat dies ganz offensichtlich nichts mehr zu tun. Auch nicht mit einem Gleichgewicht der milit盲rischen Kr盲fte und noch weniger mit der strukturellen Nichtangriffsf盲higkeit, wie sie die NATO fr眉her f眉r sich postuliert hat. Hier soll der Krieg als Mittel der Politik wieder hoff盲hig gemacht werden. Daf眉r hat die Europ盲ische Union sicherlich nicht den Friedensnobelpreis erhalten.

听听M茅lanie Disdier (PfE). 鈥� Madame la Pr茅sidente, chers coll猫gues, je souhaite attirer votre attention sur les cons茅quences dramatiques li茅es au largage massif dans la Manche, la mer du Nord et la mer Baltique d鈥檃rmes et de munitions chimiques lors des deux conflits mondiaux qu鈥檃 connus le XXe si猫cle. Ce sont des millions de tonnes de munitions en tout genre qui ont 茅t茅 d茅vers茅es au large des c么tes et qui repr茅sentent aujourd鈥檋ui un v茅ritable danger. Les sp茅cialistes indiquent qu鈥檃pr猫s plus d'un si猫cle d鈥檌mmersion, l鈥櫭﹖anch茅it茅 des enveloppes m茅talliques n鈥檈st plus assur茅e. Selon des experts et des scientifiques, une telle catastrophe environnementale et 茅cologique pourrait aboutir 脿 l鈥櫭﹍imination de toute vie 鈥撎齠aune et flore听鈥� pendant plusieurs d茅cennies, voire plus d'un si猫cle.

Par ailleurs, un projet d鈥檌mplantation de parc industriel 茅olien au large de Dunkerque est 脿 l鈥櫭﹖ude. Cette implantation, pr茅vue sur une surface de plus de 50听kilom猫tres carr茅s, ne peut que se heurter 脿 cette question, qui devient d猫s lors tr猫s urgente et particuli猫rement d茅licate. Il faut 茅galement noter qu鈥檜ne partie de la mer du Nord est class茅e en zone Natura听2000. Il est donc primordial que ce probl猫me ne soit pas ignor茅, ni par les 脡tats membres ni par notre institution. Il en va de la p茅rennit茅 de notre 茅cosyst猫me et de la bonne sant茅 茅conomique de la moiti茅 nord de l鈥橢urope.

听听Fernand Kartheiser (ECR). 鈥� Madam President, we are all deeply concerned about Europe's competitiveness. Business aviation plays a key role in strengthening the attractiveness of our continent. It allows business leaders and decision-makers to save time and reach destinations not served by commercial airlines. Medical flights fall also under the sector, further highlighting its importance.

A well-functioning business aviation industry helps attract investment to Europe, yet it was excluded from the Taxonomy Regulation. This omission is baffling. I urge the Commission to address this in the upcoming Omnibus initiatives.

Regarding sustainable fuels 鈥� the so-called SAFs 鈥� we need a globally standardised definition. The Commission must push for this. SAFs should also be available in sufficient quantities at all European airports, big and small.

Finally, I call on the Commission to actively support the development of electric vertical take-off and landing technology in Europe.

听听Vicent Marz脿 Ib谩帽ez (Verts/ALE). 鈥� Se帽ora presidenta, millones de europeos viven con miedo a que puedan afectar a sus vidas las pol铆ticas de Trump. Viven con miedo a que puedan perder su trabajo: por ejemplo, en la industria cer谩mica (que, en mi pa铆s, en mi comarca, representa uno de cada tres trabajos), y tambi茅n en la agricultura. Las familias tambi茅n viven con miedo a c贸mo les puede afectar la subida de los precios con la subida de los aranceles.

Mientras tanto, en este Parlamento tenemos varios grupos parlamentarios que aplauden las medidas de Trump y algunos de ellos hasta se arrodillan ante sus intereses y luego se hacen llamar 芦Patriotas禄. 驴Patriotas de qu茅? De la 煤nica patria que entienden: la del dinero y la del poder.

Por eso, yo animo al conjunto de los grupos parlamentarios democr谩ticos a que protejamos Europa, a que protejamos a la mayor铆a trabajadora, a que protejamos nuestros puestos de trabajo; a que lo hagamos con m谩s reindustrializaci贸n, con m谩s pol铆ticas de cohesi贸n, con m谩s pol铆ticas de integraci贸n; y a que lo hagamos para protegernos de las pol铆ticas de Trump, pero tambi茅n de las pol铆ticas de aquellos que desde aqu铆 trabajan para los intereses de las grandes multinacionales.
