What Delara spoke about.

If you have to register in several countries and pay different fees, the problem remains. We need a European registration instead of 27 different procedures. In mid-November, the Commission will present the Circular Economic. We expect them to finally come up with concrete solutions for a uniform European registration and less bureaucracy. Thank you very much! Merci beaucoup, colleague Deidara Bur

Mr President! Commissioner! Sometimes it is the case that cartons pile up faster than the garbage collection comes. And then the question is: Who actually pays for disposal? And this is where the principle of extended producer responsibility comes into play. The polluters of waste should participate more financially in the disposal of this waste, otherwise this will be left to the municipalities o

Madam President, While philosophizing on the right about whether this is now weather, whether it is now China that has more emissions, or the Green Deal is responsible, this single heat summer has pushed many people to their limits. Take Christine, for example. She works in my home in Kiel with seniors and told me: ‘The elderly have actually experienced quite a lot, but this extreme heat is new to

First of all, unlike you, I proposed a solution, namely that we have to redesign the energy markets and then also have cheaper prices, because it is already the case at the moment that wind and sun are about 4 cents per kilowatt hour. For example, in the case of nuclear power – which is often mentioned here – we are at 14 to 50 cents per kilowatt-hour. So we already have much more expensive prices

Madam President, Cheap electricity is there. The question must be rather: Why doesn't he arrive? Most of our energy comes from fossil fuels: This makes us dependent on autocrats, susceptible to price shocks and costs us billions every year. That's why we have to electrify, but that only works with domestically produced renewable energies, because wind and sun are already the cheapest energy source

Mr President! The civilian population in Lebanon is suffering, and – for the enemies of humanity on the right-hand side of the house – not just the Christian ones! We are talking about two and a half thousand dead since March. One and a half million people who had to leave their homes. From people living in shelters, with families or on the streets of Beirut without knowing if they can ever return

Madam President, Dear colleagues! A compass should provide orientation. And you may have noticed in the debate: The competition compass hasn't quite done that yet. Climate neutrality remains the goal, but without guarantees as to how this can be achieved in a socially just manner. Meanwhile, the Commission President's own group Green Deal. This reminds me a bit of the election campaign of the CDU

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Due to some contributions in this debate, I feel compelled to recall something again: The plastic crisis doesn't happen anywhere else. While we may not like to produce the raw materials, the EU is one of the largest plastic producers in the world, producing 60 million tonnes of plastic annually. Most of it then goes into disposable products that end up in the

Mr President! Dear colleagues! If the right side, but unfortunately also increasingly conservatives, speak of competitiveness, then the entire Green Deal is pretty quickly under fire – except for the holy cow of the CDU/CSU: the CO2price. But what happens to our competitiveness when prices rise and there are no affordable alternatives? It means that housing, mobility, heating become priceless for

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen! A fossil autocracy presides over the climate conference, climate denier Donald Trump re-enters the White House, and the 1.5-degree goal has failed for the time being. As disappointing as the image of multilateralism may seem, international cooperation is more important than ever. The European Union must take bold steps – you are absolutely right, Mr Hoekstra – t

Madam President, We have a very important task ahead of us tomorrow, and we will vote on the Commission's proposal to postpone the deforestation regulation as a matter of urgency, which has already been unanimously approved in the Council. This was necessary because the Commission did not implement the transposition aid in time. However, an urgency procedure does not allow for a proper debate on t

Madam President, We know that for countless products on our shelves people work hard under unworthy conditions, the environment and livelihoods are destroyed. With the EU Supply Chain Act, we would finally have an effective tool to ban modern slavery from our shopping carts. But the FDP is convinced that the market is already regulating this. Yes, the market already regulates this for the companie

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Imagine that from tomorrow you can only take a shower once a week; Watering or bathing flowers has not been allowed for a long time. In the supermarket, canned food is rationed because nothing grows on the dried-up fields. You're wondering: How could it get so far? I'm not describing a plot for a dramatic Hollywood movie here. I'm telling you how climate chan

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen. Heating costs, energy prices, food – everything is becoming more expensive, while wages are barely adjusting. Everyday life is no longer easy for many people, as is the case for Lina; She is 22, has a weekend job in the restaurant in addition to her training and can hardly pay her rent. But what does not help with the rising cost of living is the policy of the r

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen. If you go through the supermarket at the moment, you can get the feeling that we have already achieved our sustainability goals: There are few products that do not advertise any sustainability promises. They all want to be environmentally friendly. But are they really? From cruises to rainforest wood: According to some companies, coal power is now also eco-frien

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen. The Commission's proposal for our 2040 climate target is the absolute minimum of what is necessary and feasible. The Conservatives are now criticizing that we should first achieve our 2030 climate targets, but at the same time they are the ones who do not miss an opportunity to sabotage the Commission's climate policy with the far-right, instead of looking for r

Madam President, Yes, it has just been said: Again and again, one sow is chased through the village after the next, but for the future viability of our agriculture, we do not have an honest debate here. It is just decades of conservative agricultural policy in the state, the federal government and Europe that have given the future viability, which have not given the prospects for the farmers in my

Mr President! Hello to the AfD and other rights. My name is Delara. My father is German, my mother is from Iran. I am a Social Democrat and celebrate Christmas in addition to Nouruz. Am I German enough or would you deport me along with 12 million other people in Germany? You call it 'remigration'. The corrective research showed us: The right is extremely well-connected, not only rising in the poll

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Rapper Toomaj Salehi, who has been imprisoned for months, is released on bail. The news that reached us this weekend shows: Public pressure is working. Being loud makes a difference. Behind the often anonymous figures and reports of imprisoned political prisoners are people. People and their stories of courage and resistance. Courage and resistance that the I

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Last week I received a post or had a conversation with the 12-year-old students Anna and Sabine from Düsseldorf. They were annoyed that there was so much packaging waste in the fruit and vegetable section of the supermarket alone, and asked me as a politician what we were actually doing about it. The reality is that Sabine and Anna are right. We consume far t
