What Kosma spoke about.

Road freight transport is a key component of the European economy. Any disruption to this sector has an immediate impact on the price and availability of many goods. One of the biggest problems that discourages people from working in the sector is the disastrous state of parking and rest facilities for drivers. When the Commission and Parliament look to the distant future, truck drivers who drive

Mr President, thank you very much. When we said 'Let's not burden entrepreneurs, let's give them freedom!', the European Commission, supported by a majority in this Parliament, did exactly the opposite. It created further regulations and imposed new obligations. When we warned that the Green Deal meant higher costs, higher prices and even the risk of bankruptcies, the Commission and the parliament

Of course, but I don't have that much time. But I can certainly invite you for coffee. We can talk about Bydgoszcz, Kujawy and Pomerania.

Madam President, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, I am very happy to be a Member of the European Parliament from Bydgoszcz, a key city and region for the arms industry, not only in Poland and Europe, but also in the world. In Bydgoszcz and its vicinity there are Zakłady Chemiczne ‘Nitro-Chem’ – Europe’s largest and one of the world’s largest producers of TNT and explosives, a key supplier to the a

Madam President, I'm sorry. It is true that the update of the rules on air passenger rights is a success for this Parliament. And perhaps this reform is not perfect and does not solve all problems, but it makes travelling in Europe simpler, more predictable and safer. It also limits some unfair practices and I am therefore particularly pleased to accept my amendment prohibiting additional fees for

Dear lady, this port is indeed to be in the open field, but for it to be built, it must first be designed. And in order to design it, you have to invent it first. And you pay for it too, my dear lady. And you think, oh, here's the field, here you have to drive a shovel. If you want to build the Central Communication Port with a shovel, you were indeed right when you once shouted "Down with PCK and

Mr President, thank you very much. The Central Transport Port project assumes the construction of the largest transport hub in Poland and in Central and Eastern Europe. It is important for both civilian and military transport. Despite this, the ruling government in Poland was now referred to as PiS megalomania, an overscaled and economically unjustified investment. Instead of a substantive debate

Mr President, thank you very much. Social media and the internet create the impression that we live in a world of crises bigger and more difficult than ever, that the end of the world awaits us outside the window, or a climate catastrophe, and the earth is burning. Overwhelmed by this illusion, some want to reform the European Union at all costs in the hope that it will respond effectively to conf

Madam President, I'm sorry. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. European law has ceased to serve citizens and businesses and has become a tool of political blackmail and a cause of the crisis that is eating up our economy. The Green Deal, the conditionality mechanism, the immigration pact, the ban on registration of diesel cars or the regulation of the digital market have become a burden that our compani

Madam President, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, A plenary session without a debate on better regulation would be a lost session. As I see it, the strategy for the tenth term of the European Parliament is to debate on a monthly basis how to make law better, more effective or even more transparent, rather than simply finally passing such a law. As Cato the Elder repeated in each of his speeches ‘C

Madam President, I'm sorry. Oh, Mrs. Spokesperson! The European institutions are experiencing a huge crisis of trust, as the key decisions taken in Brussels in recent years have led to deplorable results. Our economy is swamped by Green Deal policies and uncontrolled illegal immigration has weakened the sense of security in many Member States. The European Ombudsman should recognise these p

Madam President, I'm sorry. Today, the digital space also includes a number of electronic devices that are constantly connected to the network. We have them in our homes, garages or in our pockets. Many of them have cameras, sensors or microphones that can constantly record and forward information, often without the knowledge of their users. We are all aware that more and more consumer electronics

Madam President, I'm sorry. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Passenger rights are not a cost, it's a standard. For years, the European Union has been proud of this standard, of the protection it has provided to air passengers from hours of delays, flight cancellations and denied boarding. Today we hear that this protection must be weakened, because it is expensive. But that's a false argument. The pro

Mr President, thank you very much. Ladies and Gentlemen, We are in the process of negotiating Regulation 261 on passenger rights in aviation. The Council blocks any Parliament proposal that would extend the scope of protection, and the argument is always the same – this will reduce the profits of European carriers. And - ladies and gentlemen - the Council is right! Airlines are business, and busin

Madam President, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, Children are our joy, pride and future. We agree that they must be protected from pathologies, also online. The internet is like a forest. There we can explore the world, rest, spend time with others. But in the forest, as on the Internet, we are in danger. It's easy to get lost in both places. No one imagines that children without parental care wi

Madam President, I'm sorry. Using frozen Russian money to defend Ukraine is, of course, a good but late idea. Today we are talking about the 19th package of sanctions. Nineteen o'clock! Could it be 45th or 56th? We should have given these funds to Ukraine a long time ago. We would not have to give so many loans then, and Kiev would fight Putin for Russian money. But perhaps the problem is that som

Mr President, thank you very much. Ladies and Gentlemen, We have a dozen committees in the European Parliament. They all deal with texts sent to Parliament by the European Commission. But there is one other committee, the Committee on Petitions. We deal with the texts that citizens send to the European Parliament and pass them on to the European Commission, so that some petitions are opened and if

Madam President, I'm sorry. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Poland has been alarming for months about GPS signal interference over the Baltic Sea, the growing threat to shipping and civil aviation – also in the vicinity of my city, Bydgoszcz – and the need to develop monitoring and defence systems. Today's events are another form of Russian aggression. Moscow violated the airspace of my country. Doze

Mr President, thank you very much. The old Chinese curse reads: "May you live in interesting times". And that's what's happening. We live in interesting times: war in Ukraine and the Middle East, pandemics, blackouts, food disasters, rising prices of raw materials, customs war – this is a long way to go. That is why the idea of improving the capacity to respond to potential crises and securing sup

Madam President, I'm sorry. The Polish Presidency, through Minister Dariusz Klimczak, announced a great success: We have a compromise on passenger rights! And what's it all about? Airlines will be able to charge extra for hand luggage, contrary to the ruling of the Court of Justice, and passengers will only be compensated after four hours, and not so far after three hours of delay. Indeed, it is a

Mr President, thank you very much. Well-organized and modern public transport is a prerequisite for safe and cheap commuting to work, school or doctor. It is the only effective tool to combat communication exclusion, which is a real problem in many regions of Europe. We must therefore invest in infrastructure, especially rail and road infrastructure, and modern rolling stock. We have European rail
