What Dan spoke about.

Commissioner Jørgensen, 500 euros would cost each Romanian family, if this regulation were to apply from 1 January 2027. And this is because in Romania there are 55,000 wells that should be measured, monitored, almost half of all existing wells in the European Union. In 1857 it was first put into operation. Do you realise what it's like? How does it sound to Romanians that 170 years after the firs

Madam President, Mr Séjourné, you are the Vice-President of the European Commission and today you are present at an extremely important debate about the automotive industry in the European Union. Today, when we speak, in Romania, Dacia announced the first collective redundancies in the last 22 years. It is a symptom that shows how serious is the situation of the automotive industry and parts for t

Madam President, two weeks ago, Romania unfortunately had bad news: the highest price for electricity in terms of purchasing power, two to three times higher than in other countries in Europe. And this for a simple reason: because the European electricity market is fragmented, it does not work. We are decoupled and cannot benefit from cheap energy that is, for example, produced in Germany, because

Mr President, the crisis in the Middle East has led to higher prices for fuel, petrol and diesel. Electricity is at an unprecedented price in my country, Romania, and people are waiting for immediate solutions. And that is the role of the European Commission, to come up with new sources of supply, with new ways of using this huge economic power to bring these much-needed raw materials into the Eur

Madam President, Mrs Virkkunen, you are Vice-President of the European Commission and today you are presenting a document expected by a very large number of people, namely: what we will do in the field of cyber security. For most of those who look at us, for ordinary people, that means we come up with a clear answer. How we protect and how we protect them, so that they are not the victim of online

Madam President, one of the priorities of the Cyprus Presidency should be electricity prices. In Eastern Europe ‐ Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Cyprus ‐ electricity prices have become absolutely prohibitive for many people. For Romanians, in Romania, they are now minus 20 degrees, and these prices have become up to 150 euros higher than in Western European countries ‐ 251 euros/MWh. This seriously af

Madam President, Mr Séjourné, you are the Vice-President of the European Commission, you are the Commissioner responsible for industry, and together we have taken several decisions, including the one we are referring to today: how to get Europe to have access, European industry to have access, to strategic materials, to critical materials. I have adopted the regulation, the calls for projects have

Madam President, Commissioner Šefčovič, the European Council should focus on the competitiveness of the European economy. But unfortunately, in Romania, in my country, what we all find is that we have the highest, or among the highest, electricity prices in the European Union. Yesterday, 150 euros per megawatt hour, five times higher than in Spain, three times higher than in France, 40% higher tha

Madam President, President von der Leyen, the recent violations of Polish airspace by Russian drones remind us that in Romania this has been happening regularly for two years and you need to reaffirm your support in order for Romania's borders to be inviolable and protected. Secondly, there is great concern in Romania, President von der Leyen, because the Cohesion Fund proposals are jeopardising t

Madam President, President Costa, Commissioner Šefčovič, what I would have liked to see in the Council conclusions and I have not found are the concrete measures to make electricity prices in the European Union cost-based, reasonable. It is complicated and very difficult to go to my country, to Romania, and to tell Romanians why they have to pay electricity prices at home, twice, four times higher

Madam President, High Representative, you are the person who will manage all the things pertaining to the future of the European Union from a military, security point of view and in preparation for the NATO summit, I would like to tell you some of the things that are important for Romania. The eastern flank must be treated as a strategic priority in Europe's security architecture. Romania, as a st

Madam President, Mr Séjourné, you are the Vice-President of the European Commission, responsible for industry, for the strategic industries of the European Union, for steel, for aluminium, and there are high hopes for the measures that you have to take. Energy is a main reason why these strategic industries – steel, aluminium – are uncompetitive in the European Union. Mr. Vice President, in Galati

Madam President, Mr Séjourné, you are the Executive Vice-President of the European Commission and today you are bringing the news that hundreds of thousands of workers in the steel and metals industries, including aluminium, are expecting for the European Union. And I want you to know that this signal was more than expected, for several reasons: First, unreasonably high electricity prices have mad

Madam President, Vice-President Šefčovič, President Costa, we all need to take urgent action today so that the European Union's strategic industries can withstand, survive and have a future that has certainty, that we are talking about the steel, aluminium, chemical fertilizers, automotive, energy, chips industries. They are all under tremendous stress, because, on the one hand, we have energy pri

Mr President, Commissioner Jørgensen, you are the Commissioner for Energy of the European Union and you have a very challenging mandate before you. The European Union's electricity market is in an extremely worrying situation. In my country, Romania, last month, the price of electricity reached EUR 160 per megawatt-hour, more than twice as high as in the same month last year and higher than in Fra

Madam President, Commissioner, this is very good news – an action plan for a revitalisation of the European automotive industry is what everyone expects, because the situation is very bad. Why is this situation so unfortunate that we are going through this period? The reasons are simple: an internal market that is invaded, flooded with products coming from outside the European Union, cars from Chi

Madam President, Mr Vice-President of the European Commission, there is great hope for your mandate, and I must confess that everyone expected the first concrete measures to support European industry to emerge in the first 100 days, so that we can have a process of transforming this industry into a clean industry. Today, when we speak, unfortunately, the situation is very bad. European industry is

Madam President, President Costa, Commissioner Šefčovič, today we are discussing a programme to actually ensure the security of the European Union. For me as a Romanian and for my country it is extremely important to know not only that we are on the edge of Europe and that we have to defend the European Union on the eastern flank, but we have to make sure that we have and with what. I must assure

This is exactly about the manipulation we were talking about, the manipulation that is present and that we all need to prevent, because every man must be responsible for what he says and be able to be appreciated or not for what he says. As far as you are concerned, those working on the campaign team had resigned and it was obvious that they had resigned because you intend to retire to the green t
