And this is why, dear colleague, as a rapporteur for CADA, I am doing everything to improve our infrastructure and AI development. And this is why, as a rapporteur for the AI Omnibus, we are looking for ways to make it better for our start-ups. And this is why I propose to talk about the reform of AI governance on the level of Europe, so that our companies have an agency that they can call and whe
Madam President, my solidarity to you. Free Oleshky and Slava Ukraini. And my first question is to Arba. What planet do you live on? Well, definitely not on the planet where agents break out. You're definitely not on the planet where frontier models can hack anything. And definitely not on the planet where Sam Altman himself is calling for more regulation. We are facing a planetary – planetary – c

Escalation of Russian strikes in the EU, particularly on Black Sea shipping, threatening human life, regional stability and food security (debate)
Madam colleague, you said: peace. This Parliament has called for peace on several occasions. And we've been doing that for months. Mr Zelenskyy has shown several times that he is ready to start peace talks. There are, of course, efforts on the part of the United States. There's a person and a country that keeps saying no and doesn't meet. How are you going to force the Kremlin to accept this peace

Escalation of Russian strikes in the EU, particularly on Black Sea shipping, threatening human life, regional stability and food security (debate)
Madam President, colleagues, we are living through insanity. The American president ridicules Ukrainian heroes. The American president humiliates Ukrainian leaders. It belittles Ukrainian lives. Ukrainians are on their own. We are on our own, but we have each other. Unlike Bulgaria's current prime minister, we know who is responsible: it's Russia, it's the Kremlin.

Urgent need for EU support to Ukraine against Russia’s escalation of its war of aggression (debate)
First of all, I'm not a member of the coalition of the German Government, so I cannot speak for the colleagues. The fact that the German Chancellor was quite active in order to enable us to use those assets and shifted his position, also shows that there is movement in Germany and in the German Government. I think the German Government is not the problem here. We have other governments with whom w

Urgent need for EU support to Ukraine against Russia’s escalation of its war of aggression (debate)
Madam President, when I listen to what is going on here, sometimes I keep asking myself whether you are blind or you are heartless. Maybe both. Because when I hear complaints about the minority rights of the Hungarian minority, or when I'm hearing complaints that there is money transfers from Germany to Ukraine, I ask myself, do you see what's happening? Do you see that people are being killed? Do

Hybrid attacks against the EU Member States (joint debate)
Mr President, hybrid attacks against the EU – the Kremlin must be laughing at us. A bomb almost exploded at an airport and we call it a 'hybrid attack'. No. Let us call an attack an attack. Russia is preparing for possible military aggression against the EU and NATO countries. And even the right wing agrees; even they know that. Let us call an attack an attack. We need to tell this to our people –

Hybrid attacks against the EU Member States (joint debate)
Colleague, my question is very simple. You're saying here that we are not discussing the situation in Ceuta and yet the question is, did you see the plenary agenda? We spent half the day today – also with the support of your own group – discussing the so-called hybrid attack in Ceuta. So I don't know, the question would be whether you maybe missed some part of today's agenda because this was discu

Future of EU support for Russian democratic forces, anti-war actors and repressed civil society (debate)
Madam President, dear colleagues, for too long, the EU's Russia policy has been reactive: sanctions after aggression, statements after repression, emergency support after arrests. This is not enough. This is not strategic. We need a real EU strategy on Russia with two pillars: deterrence against the current regime and the 'de-Putinisation' of the Russia of the future. This should be a European sec

2025 Commission report on Ukraine (A10-0172/2026 - Michael Gahler) (vote)
Mr President, I would like to draw your attention to some of the chants that were uttered here from that side of the Chamber, when somebody dared to stand in opposition to one of the oral amendments. People – colleagues – were called Nazis just because they dared to have a different position on something, which is very sensitive, but we do not share the style of calling each other Nazis. Some of t
Colleague, I don't need lessons from you on how to support Ukraine. I and my party have been supporting Ukraine and Maidan since 2014 and since the occupation in Crimea. We were against Nord Stream 2 as one of the few parties. I was for arms sales long before anyone in Poland was talking about arms sales to Ukraine. So I don't need lessons on that. What I do understand is the grievances of the Pol
So the extraordinary thing, as opposed to those people who are living here in peace, is that they are getting bombs on their heads while they are preparing for membership, while they are doing their homework, while they're doing reforms, while they're doing anti-corruption reforms. Yes, not everything is perfect. But before you make accusations like those against those who are fighting against bom

Thanks for accepting the blue card, as opposed to many others. How do you react to what the Kremlin is saying? The Kremlin is saying that your president and you yourself have finally seen the light and everything that the Kremlin has been saying all along – that these are Nazis in Kyiv, that now you have recognised it and you agree with the Kremlin.

I'm sure they will not say no because they realise better than us that their future, both in terms of cybersecurity but also of security and also access to the frontier models, will be in our own capabilities.

I've been talking to businesses for years, since I was one of the negotiators for the AI Act and the Data Act and many other things.

I would like to address one specific issue that you mentioned – the copyright directive. First of all, in the AI Act, we invested a lot in order to make it possible for training purposes to use our copyright. And we have a data mining exemption. We have an opportunity to use that and to use data for AI training. So I don't think that this is the biggest challenge for frontier models to be based he

OpenAI offers the American Government a 5 % stake, in Europe, we have no clear timeline for gigafactories.

If needed, the United States can switch off 90% of the world from its frontier models.

I'm sure you would be happy if I said yes, but I think we have other capabilities – the capabilities in renewable that are underused and underutilised now.

Then we would not be as vulnerable as we are no
