What Jaak spoke about.

Madam President, dear colleagues, first of all, we have heard a lot of messages from the left to the right in the audience. They're calling for the peace, and we need that diplomacy. Definitely, we need diplomacy and peace. But it's always better when you have a gun when you're having negotiations. What is proposed here is just surrender to the Russian terms just to give away some territories. I h

Mr President, dear colleagues, Commissioner and the Council, first of all, I think that every idea that is proposed by the Greens or Socialists is ridiculous. And I think two years ago, the voters showed very clearly what they think about you, because the Greens were the biggest losers here in the European Parliament. But after all, if there are bigger and bigger problems in the economy because of

First of all, you said that in the last few years Ms von der Leyen has changed course about the Green Deal. I have to remind you that two years ago we had elections, and the voters said in Europe clearly that they would like to see a more realistic approach to the climate ideology, because that is why the conservatives just said a lot of things to the socialists. But, just realistically, if we go

Yes, if you are saying that someone has to take responsibility, why do you think that Europe has to take responsibility? If you are talking about climate change and global warming, then only in Europe has climate change increased significantly little. However, in the rest of the world, in Africa, in Asia, this has not happened. Why do Europeans have to pay more for the Green Deal, higher fuel pric

Yes. Because you speak German, I speak Estonian. Your speech was extremely enthusiastic and positive, so the speech was very good. But if you are talking about fossil fuels and that fossil fuels are to blame for the burning of Europe, we do not have a climate agreement, a green transition, all of this, it is just a small question that, as far as I know, the climate has always changed. Always throu

Mr President, I was running here, but I was listening to the speeches by Ms Kallas, and I totally understand that she can't say anything else except that we are so united. But of course, the fact is that stating, for example, that the Spanish far-left government is helping Ukraine a lot is a joke. We know it. Ireland is still helping the Russian economy. We are so united, absolutely! I know that y

Madam President, dear Commissioners, dear colleagues, first of all, I think when we are talking about the single market and differences, we have to understand that the only solution for the left side then is to have the same rules, same regulations. But, just for example, I could not just imagine that we are going to have a compromise for the labour market with the same rules, with a Spanish far-l

Madam President, first of all, thanks for two decades of over‑regulation, overtaxation. While the prices are going up, you are just whining and blaming Trump. Trump is guilty. Some of you from the Greens are saying that, 'Oh, the nurse has to drive one hour in the morning to work, and now the fuel prices are over EUR 2 per litre'. Yeah, but you know, in the EU over 50 % of the fuel price goes to t

Madam President, dear colleagues, first of all, I think we all agree that this debate doesn't change anything at all, particularly. Secondly, absolutely, the defence question is very important, but we know that defence policy is in the hands of the Member States. And the backbone of the economy in Europe is definitely Germany and also France, so it depends about them, what they are going to do. In

Well, if you would agree with me, everything will be wrong, because you're from Renew and I'm from the Conservatives, so it's fine. When you look at the climate policy, the question is that we need reliable resources. Is it the nuclear plants, or is it gas, is it LNG or whatever? Unfortunately, [sound cuts out] or even the Estonian economy can't run only by the sun and wind. That's a pure fact. We

Mr President, dear colleagues, first of all, as the President of the Commission, Ms von der Leyen, said, we need three things for the future of Europe – strong economy, united societies and strong defence. The problem, of course, with the economy is that we have been falling in the last two decades. Now the EU economy is about only 13 % of the global economy. Why? Of course, because of bureaucracy

Thank you, Mr. Paet, your speech was so beautifully pathetic that I had a few questions in Estonian. Firstly, I am in complete solidarity with Denmark, and I fully agree that every country has the right to decide its own future. But do you not think, Mr Paet, that the problem with Europe is that we have adopted resolutions? We've asked, we've wanted. But at the same time, the problem is that we do

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen. First of all, to begin with, I am very concerned to hear the sympathetic speeches of many socialists, liberals and leftists towards the United States, because they have come up with their new security strategy, which is supposed to be a betrayal of Europe. That, in my opinion, it is like an unrealistic expectation that, if in the last decades Americans have p

Mr President, dear colleagues, I really believe that the long-term and the fair peace currently being talked is not possible – not now. But it is possible to achieve peace for a certain period – especially for a resting time and the peace for Ukrainian people and the fighters to keep and maintain the dignity and the statehood, which is the most important thing ever. But, at the same time, we shoul

Actually, it is a very good question. The problem with the Green Deal and with Russian energy is that Estonia has been always independent with energy, with oil shale. We have produced more than we need. We have exported to Finland, Latvia, Sweden. But now, because of the Green Deal – because the ideology is saying that there is too much CO2 – the plan is to shut it down by 2030 and to import energ

Thank you very much! Dear colleagues, Dear President, So many topics have gone through here that I don't even know where to start, but what has perhaps been talked about the most is, of course, the green transition and the economy. When Mrs von der Leyen and several colleagues say that the green transition and competitiveness go hand in hand, they are not at odds with each other, and when I listen

Dear colleagues, Firstly, I do not really believe that in this Chamber our unity or incoherence will decide anything regarding European security. It is still decided by the governments and parliaments of the European countries. Secondly, last week, a very large number of our colleagues sent a letter to the European Commission, by the way, concerning precisely these border violations, drone attacks

Madam President, dear colleagues, the situation in the European Union is no better than it was a year ago during the same debate. Firstly, the EU continues to be the largest importer of gas in the world from Russia, paying billions of euros for it and, at the same time, Russia just this morning attacked Poland, which is a Member State of both NATO and the EU, with drones. Secondly, there are still

Madam President, dear colleagues, first of all, we are talking about the long‑term budget for the future. We are only talking about our own resources, but let's say it in a more simple way for the voters and the public: own resources means new taxes. So, what very many of you want here is to have new taxes. So, it means to open the Treaties to more federalise the financial policy for the EU to get

Dear colleagues, Dear Mrs Kallas, Although I'm not your biggest fan, congratulations on your birthday! When talking about NATO, many colleagues here have spoken about how social welfare should be ensured, how inflation should be combated, how people should cope. I totally agree. I also agree that the European Union itself is largely to blame for the economic problems, but that does not change the

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen! Dear Commissioner, First of all, of course, I think - I hope - everyone's heart is here to protect children. There is no more important thing in this world than taking care of the weakest and most powerful and ensuring that they can grow safely. But sometimes we hear such hypocrisy here that, on the one hand, we want to criminalise, punish - I agree. I also agree w

Dear President, Thank you very much, dear colleagues. And how should the European Union respond to the US tariffs they imposed? No, we should not punish Trump for this, but we should think about how to develop our own economy. The current economic space of the European Union is a labyrinth of directives and regulations. It stifles entrepreneurship, discourages investment and hampers economic growt
