What Pietro spoke about.

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the PPWR is perfect. But I want to break the boxes to the Commissioner because, one, the PPWR, SUP, COP and Critical Raw Material They say four different things and that's already a problem. Second, harmonisation in Europe: Many recycled materials have different definitions in different countries. Last week I was at a lithium recycling plant: It is easier for th

(IT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, in my opinion, it is a decision that we must take, given climate change and all the problems we have, it is very important to continue the issue of NGTs because they will be the solution for the European people and for agricultural production, without using and reducing the use of pesticides and other issues and addressing the problem of lack of water and s

Madam President, last legislature, I was blessed with being part of BECA – so the cancer strategy, the European cancer strategy – and I studied a lot and I learnt a lot. There are a lot of things we can do to obtain results, and when I say we, I mean the European Parliament and the European institutions. There are some very technical ones: for example, do something about radon, the radioactive nat

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, point one: As Becker's shadow rapporteur, there are two key concepts: Risk reduction and scientific support. So, if we want to ban all these things here, however, they must give me scientific support because otherwise it does not exist. Let us remember very well that banning some of these behaviours - and let us remember that man is still linked to caffeine and

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, my colleagues have already said practically everything on the subject. But I wanted to remind everyone that this is just a little piece, a piece of the mosaic, because there are many other things in the Green Deal. Let's start immediately from what is the European electricity distribution system, which is already as fruity as it is now, and we will add a billion

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, first of all, my closeness and condolences to the family of firefighter Ciccorelli, who died heroically trying to save lives in Foggia, of all places, so we are really close to his family. Then, I have to admit – and here I am not talking from a political point of view, but with my green and environmental friends – that a very important climate change is actu

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow is an important day for European agriculture and an important step towards sustainable agriculture. I know that there are many opponents of precision production methods in the European Parliament and that they are deliberately confused with GMOs. But GMOs are fundamentally different from new genomic techniques, also because, guys, there were already GMO

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to say, first of all, that this debate on Ilaria Salis should not even have taken place. We think that this is an instrumental request of the left, whose real purpose is not a humanitarian concern for the prisoner, but an opportunity to attack Hungary and Italy in an atmosphere of electoral campaign, as demonstrated by the attacks by the Presiden

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, then the ECR Group obviously agrees with the objective of reducing the amount of material used and, above all, from my point of view, of reducing the volume going to landfills and incinerators. This is important for the whole of Europe, both for the environment but also from an economic point of view. On this regulation, as we discussed in the ENVI Committee,

Mr President, we are all in agreement with our good friend Bas Eickhout – but he's not listening – regarding the need to reduce CO2 emissions on the heavy vehicles. But our approach is a pragmatic one, meaning that before we have very ambitious goals and then we do not reach them, we prefer to have very pragmatic goals that we make sure that all the Member States will reach. There are three points

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, thank you to Mr Nils Torvalds, who is a great rapporteur on these matters. Most importantly, I was impressed by his personal experience of cancer. I, as shadow rapporteur of the BECA special committee, am convinced that air and water quality in Europe is key to reducing the number of cancer cases, so I am really on your side. From this point of view, there are t

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we all agree on the need to revise the CLP regulation, but there are a few points, and I turn to the Commissioner. One: Obligation to put all warning in the language of the country of destination. Why, instead of providing for Commission delegated acts to use the QR code, do we not do so immediately in the regulation using the QR code, so that we can pass all th

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, let us declassify the wolf. There are tens of thousands of attacks every year, not only on sheep, donkeys, goats and cows, but also on pets and dogs. By the way, Italy is particular, because if my dog bites a person it is suppressed by the authorities but if I shoot a wolf attacking a child I risk up to four years in prison because it is criminal. The aid to

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the Nature Restoration Regulation has been rejected in three committees, AGRI, PECH and ENVI, we should ask ourselves why. The file provides for a constraint on new areas outside the Natura 2000 network – come to Italy to see what happens in Natura 2000 areas, abandoned because any kind of human activity is prohibited, they have become centres for drug dealing a

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, Italy has given 110% tax cover to make the energy leap and in two years they have made fewer than 500 000 apartments. Now they are asking to make 9 million apartments in Italy in ten years. It will not happen, also because one of the things that happened is that the cost of insulated material and scaffolding has risen by 150% or 200%. And then,

Madam President, Vice—President Timmermans, as an entrepreneur, I really do believe that we should have left it to the market, to companies, to decide what was the best technological solution to solve the problem. We are all in favour of reducing emissions, of course, but we, as the ECR Group, have some problems. Number one: the workplace, how many jobs can be cancelled by this? What is Europe doi

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I have just returned from a series of visits to the Alps following hundreds of reports of predation by large carnivores of sheep, goats, donkeys and cows, as you know, but lately also of companion dogs, in the vicinity of human settlements. I have observed gruesome episodes, the worst of which on a predation of sheep, about ten, some of which were

Madam President, I have a very practical question for the Commission, and regarding this topic, I will present a separate vote on a paragraph 39, which bans the import of a hunting trophy. As a person that has worked a lot in Africa for many years, I know the situation very well, and I work on the side of people defending biodiversity. But, for example, in Namibia, trophy hunting, which is legal t

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow we will be voting on very important things for the future of Europe. I can only comment on a few issues that I have dealt with personally. The Social Fund is a wonderful idea but not enough. As far as emissions from cars and vans are concerned, there are problems, because we are all in favour of the environment and reducing emissions, but we must also c

Madam President, I fully agree with the position of the Commissioner. There are unluckily two major problems regarding the textile sector. They are very technical. Number one is the colouring of the textile, which is on one side strongly regulated by the Workers’ Safety Regulation, the Environmental Emissions Regulation and so on, but on the other side is still a problem. We need funds and we need

Madam President, this is a great and powerful document, I believe, and I’m proud to be part of it. I’m already using it, even if it’s not finalised, to put pressure on the Italian regional authorities to increase the screening programme and to increase the funding on new screening and therapeutic techniques. Also, we already started locally, based on these programmes, to increase the quality of li
