What Dario spoke about.

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, there are things to do and there are things not to do. A bad example of circular economy we Romans have: in the excavations of preparation of the new incinerator 800 000 tons are coming out bags of asbestos that no one knows how they got there. Commissioner, I am very happy with your action and I am sure you will do a good job with this act, but, perhaps, someth

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I do not want to repeat what my fellow Members have already said here. The challenges we face are enormous and it will take years, decades, to make up for wasted time, increase people's purchasing power, strengthen the competitiveness of the European car and protect workers. We can, however, immediately take small measures, with great effects: a technically s

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the Union already has written rules that have never really been implemented. If we had, we wouldn't be here today. As the flexibility in the electricity system, this unknown in Europe, as the smart appliances, I was a speaker in theEnergy labelling, for appliances and active citizens ready for a renewable and flexible energy system. The JRC has been working ther

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, it is a pleasure today to remind sovereignists that decarbonising is not just about climate, but about autonomy, resilience and security. Even a child understands this: less fossil fuels, more efficiency and less reliance on debt traps, budgetary bottlenecks and tight and dangerous passages. Just like Hormuz. Today, does Europe trapped by carbon dependency re

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the situation we are experiencing today is not new: we have already seen diesel in 2022 at over EUR 2 per litre and the price of electricity triple, fertilisers increase in price. We already knew the solutions back then: renewables, energy efficiency, storage, electric mobility, sustainable agriculture. But since then many, even here, have hindered this industri

(IT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I believed that the Green Deal was part of a belated but smart strategic autonomy plan based on renewable and indigenous energy to prepare for the shocks that had been looming for some time. This had to be communicated to the citizens in 2019: that Europe, poor in hydrocarbons and uranium, had to quickly equip itself to maintain political and economic

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much to my fellow Members for this excellent report. However, I would like to point out one overlooked area: Additive manufacturing, better known as 3D printing, and its role in the digital transition and sustainability. It can boost local businesses and jobs, save materials and energy, contribute to the circular economy with spare parts, flexibil

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we import 2 million tonnes of fossil fuels every day. Every time a tank is emptied, we must attach ourselves to the barrel of an oil pipeline or a tanker, like needy breastfeeders to the bottle. It is also known that among the first objectives of a conflict we find refineries and oil pipelines. Do you think that no one would be tempted to hit a pipe, an oil tank

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, trees. How are trees useful in mitigating urban heat islands? Reduce the costs of cooling buildings, sequester CO2, make the hot asphalt cooler, improve health. How wonderful, the trees! For reforestation, including in cities, the Union has allocated substantial funds from the NRRP, which is good for the Union. Less good, having provided too many derogations fro

(IT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I recall that the regulation to strengthen the European ecosystem of zero-emission technologies already included, in 2023, in the initial proposal of the European Commission, an annex with some precise strategic technologies to be supported: from photovoltaic to wind, from batteries to heat pumps, from electrolysers to network technologies. However, the tex

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Buckminster Fuller is best known as an architect for the geodesic dome, but he was also a visionary engineer. Here I want to report some of his thoughts of over forty years ago, today very current. His proposal to solve poverty and many of the international conflicts was in the development, I quote, of "a global energy grid, an electricity grid for which we are

(IT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, it is clear to our economy more than to Russia that the Union is trying to hit Russia through sanctions that have hitherto been rather ineffective, but above all detrimental. Instead of developing with increasing conviction renewables, storage, electricity grids and efficiency capable of guaranteeing real and permanent sovereignty, the Union is increasingly

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I wanted to tell you that lately I have too often failed to understand the meaning of many decisions that are made here. And this is one of them. Yesterday, the Commission proposed a plan to stop Russian gas imports; So we're going to rely even more on U.S. gas. But it seems that Trump, not even he, is now a sufficiently reliable partner. Tomorrow we will vote o

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, on Friday a Bloomberg report - which I know is not a collective of a social centre - estimated that with ETS2 gas prices for households will rise by 20% already from 2027 and by 43% in 2030. The ETS2 has been proposed and negotiated to artificially increase gas prices, to guide energy-plant choices and to reduce emissions. My group and I are strong

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the Green Industrial Deal begins: The European industrial base is essential for competitiveness. Europe is grappling with geopolitical tensions, a stagnant economy and technological competition. Therefore, it "needs an business plan Transformation, really? We didn't really notice! While the US and China subsidized the industry, we had the Green Industrial Pla

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the Commission, I believe it is now clear to everyone that Europe cannot depend entirely on third parties for its strategic assets. Today we are paying for the consequences of so many mistakes that have made us extremely fragile, both because of the sought-after deterioration of relations with some of the BRICS, and today because of the recent aggressive geop

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I will tell you a story. In the eighth parliamentary term, I have already dealt with innovation, in particular 3D printing. Later, back in civil society, in 2020 I participated and won a Horizon Europe call for third parties from the Fraunhofer Institute, proposing the use of additive manufacturing in the production of innovative toys. The output o

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, comrades and comrades, in 2022 we saw the price of electricity triple and the costs are still unsustainable today. All citizens and businesses are permanently in energy poverty and low competitiveness. The antihistorical principle of merit order It still links the price of kilowatt hours to the price of gas, leading to costs, volatility, political dependence

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I am here today to bring a different word – to use the words of Erri De Luca – to the contrary. Because after we had disastrous floods in Central Europe in September – with thousands displaced, thousands displaced also in Emilia Romagna, the tragedy in Valencia with 200 dead – we are here to talk about ammunition. dual use, when the real enemy for our contine

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the United States and China are competing for supremacy in new technologies, such as electric mobility and artificial intelligence, while we, with our failed economic and industrial policy, have lost decades and positions and are also retreating in the policies of education and digital education for the new generations. Our industry is not growing enough, not le

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the right to housing is a fundamental human right, enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, and closely linked to other rights, such as decent work and wage security. However, Europe is facing a growing housing emergency due to the lack of adequate and affordable housing, with an unacceptable impact on energy poverty, health, quality
