As always, what should be a good idea becomes, once switched to the ‘reel’ of the Trilogues, an ill-balanced compromise, fraught with conflicting interests that forgets a central, but nevertheless important, element: the interest of the citizen! While we understand the value of intra-European collaboration on the assessment of certain health technologies, we do not accept that Member States are be

Revision of the EU Emissions Trading System - Social Climate Fund - Carbon border adjustment mechanism - Revision of the EU Emissions Trading System for aviation - Notification under the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) (joint debate – Fit for 55 (part 1))
Madam President, Commissioner, 200 years of uncontrolled industrialization, of course it must stop. But, as always with Europe, you have to be more royalist than the king. The road map of the Paris agreements gives rise, here and now, to an equally uncontrolled overbidding. By raising decarbonisation thresholds over very short deadlines, Europe is taking citizens and businesses hostage, which is a
Madam President, Commissioner, rapporteur, ladies and gentlemen, this new regulation on European data governance is of obvious importance because it determines the legal framework for the re-use of personal and non-personal data, either by non-profit organisations, known as data altruism – data provided voluntarily for purposes of general interest, such as medical research – or by commercial compa

Strengthening Europe in the fight against cancer(debate)
Madam President, Commissioner, rapporteur, I, as coordinator of the Identity and Democracy Group, have been able to demonstrate, during this year and a half of the operation of our special committee, that coordinated European action brings little or no added value to the national plans of certain countries, in particular that of France – whose current ten-year strategy, the fifth part of a very su

We can partially support it and we have clearly done so by imposing new elements or by voting on certain common-sense proposals on the need to shorten supply chains, to promote diversification of seeds and crops, to create st

European solutions to the rise of energy prices for businesses and consumers: the role of energy efficiency and renewable energy and the need to tackle energy poverty (debate)
Madam President, Commissioner, Minister, as soon as the European Union gets involved in creating a community of interests or a sectoral single market, failure is the answer. Like the ECSC at the time, the single market in electricity, revised just three years ago, designed to reduce the risk of power cuts by interconnecting networks, is causing precisely one, even in countries such as France, whic

EU Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority: ensuring a coordinated EU approach for future health crises and the role of the European Parliament in this (debate)
Madam President, Commissioner, Commissioner Breton is calling for an end to naivety about industry and the development of European industrial policy. I would ask you, on behalf of my group, to do the same in health matters. Because the HERA agency, whose place it will have in terms of its undemocratic development vis-à-vis Members is not yet known, combines all the parameters of an announced failu

European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control - Serious cross-border threats to health (debate)
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the two texts presented today are part of the great health package that the COVID crisis has accelerated and, above all, pushed to extremes. Because, on the grounds of finding solutions to an unprecedented crisis that no one has seen coming to Europe and, above all, whose management has been chaotic, the European Union is proposing regulations with potentially w
