What Maria spoke about.

Madam President, Today you presented us with the state of the EU and the Commission's proposals for the future. Unfortunately, you have only presented dreams, not figures, not the impact on the lives of citizens. Trust in the EU and the EU project is falling precisely because of lack of transparency, poor communication, lack of fairness, fragmented internal market, social crisis, homeless young pe

Mr President, Commissioner, Minister, ladies and gentlemen, the proposal to have a circular economy law is welcome, but I liked what you said, Minister, and you, Commissioner: we must take into account the existing situation, we must have a correct regulatory framework, we must find solutions, for example, for waste traceability, we must think about how we invest in technology in order to be able

Mr President, Commissioner, it rarely happens that there is such support for a project. I think it's the most popular European project, Erasmus. And rightly so, because it is an investment in young people and it is a long-term investment, because the cultural exchange, the educational exchange that happens through this project is beneficial. But I think that we must also extend to those who go thr

Mr President, Mr President of the Court, I would like to congratulate you, with the whole team. I'm in my third term, I keep watching what the Court of Auditors does. Unfortunately, the Commission does not take into account, even if they adopt their observations, because, here we are again after seven years, at an error rate. And even if the Commissioner said, and maybe he listens to me, I'll inte

Mr President, Commissioner, President Costa, I have listened to the conclusions and frankly, I think there are two parallel things: one thing you said here and another is the reality. And I'll explain myself. The mere fact that the Madam President admitted the mistakes and is trying to correct now with the regulation on methane, with electric cars... what does that mean? It means we've incurred so

We are talking about the intensification of attacks in the Black Sea. I live in Romania. In Romania it rained with drones, not only in the Black Sea and over the cities. I ask you - you criticized the United States - do you think that the European Union - because here we are talking about what the European Union should do - has done the right thing since the start of this war? Is the European Unio

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, we are discussing the health crisis, but we are not discussing it for the first time. I heard all sorts of slogans from the President yesterday: equal conditions for all, access to health for all European citizens, health must be a priority. But let's think about what causes us, why we got into this situation. Because the crisis of doctors, the departure of d

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I live in Romania, a country that has already suffered because of the war. On the one hand, economically, at first, when we know well that grain was transiting and our farmers suffered, some time ago, for a year, it rains drones, so, on a block, in a family, they hurt the child and so on. Commissioner, all diplomatic negotiations have failed. Th

Mr President, with regard to the regulation on packaging, I wrote a letter to the Commission, following petitions from producers, because there are a lot of uncertainties, starting with the definition of producer, what happens when a product is made by one producer, it is marketed by another entrepreneur, the packaging is from another entrepreneur, and this is how a bird of responsibility actually

I appreciate what you said and the fact that you came up with some concrete proposals: strengthening the European Civil Protection Mechanism, better management. The question is what the Commission must do, what we must do – because a lot of things are about subsidiarity – so that, indeed, we can be prepared and prevent, because many of the fires – we know well – were set, were not created naturall

Sure, you said that we very much need this single European framework, but do you think it can only work if we now put this European framework in place, as long as we have, for example, 27 public procurement systems? Because we asked, the Parliament, and the Council blocked it. I asked for a regulation. We have 27 laws for late payments. Again, he's stuck at the Council. How do you think we should

I agree with what you have said about fisheries policy and the revision of the regulation. But you did not say anything and I am interested if your political group, if you look at all fisheries regulations from a social perspective, because in many areas, as it is in my country, it is a source of income for many, for small fishermen. And you talked about the need for funding. Don't you think or do

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, of course the European Union needs a bioeconomy strategy. It is only that, Commissioner, you yourself have said, there is capital, but what do we lack? Confidence. Because very often, during this period, regulations have been made in the European Union that obstruct each other. And to give you a concrete example: there was talk here of pharmaceutic

Madam President, Commissioner, thank you for the information you have given us, but I would like to refer to a few points. First of all: The MFF. Commissioner, you said there were two levels. It is not clear what we are doing with own resources, because we, Parliament, have proposed very often where these new resources can come from in order not to have a smaller MFF, not to have a smaller budget

Commissioner, Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the ambitious programme of the Republic of Moldova to conclude accession at the end of 2028 must be supported. It is to be welcomed, but it will not be implemented if we do not all support it. And I want from the very beginning to thank both the Commissioner and the colleagues who supported this project. I am Romanian, I am Moldovan, I know the Rep

Madam President, Commissioner, you started your intervention by saying that last year you said that the car industry is in mortal danger. And so it is. The problem is to ask why? I believe that the European Commission has embarked on a programme, disregarding the concrete situation. A private manager takes into account the global situation and this is why we are now in a situation where, globally,

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, we needed the coordination of social security systems. We could have had it much earlier, but, as the rapporteur said, it took years. But it is good that we have it, because we know clearly and we all have, perhaps, examples of people who did not have health insurance, who had accidents at work, especially in the construction field. There have been

Madam President, Mr President, Commissioner, the European Investment Bank - we know very well - is extremely important. I congratulate her for reaching this historic record of 100 billion in new investments. But the problem I see is that the European Investment Bank must overlap with the investment programme on the strategic plan of the European Union. Why am I saying this? We have this cohesion o

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I have been on the Committee on Transport for 10 years and I hoped to come to an end with this amendment to the Regulation on Passenger Rights and Air Transport, and here we are. A large majority in Parliament supports and fought very hard because - we have to admit - at Council level it was a deadlock and it was very much a deadlock. lobbying f

Madam President, Commissioner, again I see, and I cannot help but notice that you have a very busy agenda, but the citizen is not here. We're talking about competitiveness, but we don't have facts. We have a fragmented single market. Commissioner, I have also said, how to put in trade agreements higher tariffs on raw materials than on the finished product? How to develop industry, how do you want
