What César spoke about.

Since the European Commission presented the proposal for the financial framework for the period 2028-2034 in July, our group has expressed a critical position and expressed our concern about the architecture of the future MFF and we have informed its President accordingly. This weekend, the European Commission presented an informal paper with a proposal on National Plans. We found that this docume

Welcome, Vice President Rivera, welcome always. What a pity that no post-fascist deputy is in the Chamber today, they ask him to come, but then they don't come. They are not coming because this energy crisis is due to the war that has been caused by another fascist, Mr. Trump. Look: some Member States have clearly said 'no to war', as is the case with Spain, but they have done more. Specifically,

Mr President, I am afraid that the gentlemen on the right still do not understand the Nature Restoration Regulations. They tried to block it. They didn't make it. We approve it here. It is in force. And now they want to turn their app into a second negotiation. But it's already worth obstacles. It is time to comply. States have to submit their national restoration plans. Only nine have. And the Co

Mr President, the regulation on packaging and packaging waste for SMEs has really just begun to be implemented, but there are already those who want to use any problem or difficulty in its application to reopen it and lower its targets. Commissioner, let's not make that mistake. It is true that there is a specific problem: for a micro-enterprise that sells small quantities in several Member States

Madam President, Commissioner, I believe that the common fisheries policy needs to be adapted while maintaining its fundamental principles, because the Commission concludes in its assessment that many of the current problems are not due to a lack of legislation, but to insufficient and uneven implementation. One example is marine protected areas. The legislation makes it possible to adopt conserva

Mr President, of course the bioeconomy can be a great opportunity. But we cannot substitute, Commissioner, an economy based on extracting oil for one based on extracting more and more resources from nature. It would be a mistake because biomass is not infinite. Our forests, soils, seas and ecosystems have limits. And respecting them is not a brake on development, it is the condition for that devel

Madam President, Commissioner, I think this is just what we need: honest, proportional relationships, with democratic and tolerant principles and values. Congratulations to the rapporteurs; more to the rapporteur López than to the rapporteur Larraz, because I have seen that he has "eased" a little bit and I do not know if it was necessary. I find the agreed standards of labour, health and environm

Madam President, Commissioner, of course this Electrification Action Plan can strengthen our competitiveness and our sovereignty, but I say one word to you: coherence ... because we continue to allocate billions of euros to subsidise fossil fuels. We therefore need a date to eliminate this aid. Secondly, we cannot talk about energy independence and, at the same time, we continue to delay the closu

Madam President, today we see all the populist anti-European right wings attacking a system like the emissions trading system, which works. This is a system that has helped reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, which is what we want. That's why I think it doesn't have to be weakened. We need a system aligned with the Climate Regulation, with its decarbonisation objectives, and to ensure regulator

Mr President, Commissioner, in this neo-imperial scenario accelerating the energy transition and strengthening competitiveness is the way forward. Mrs. von der Leyen wants to dispense with all the rules, we heard it yesterday... What an occurrence! Because simplifying can never mean weakening environmental protection. Environmental assessments are a guarantee for communities, for nature and also,

Mr President, at the end of last year, a global operation – coordinated by Interpol and the World Customs Organisation – made it possible to seize almost 20 000 protected live animals and detain 365 people in 138 countries. At the same time, Traffic, the international reference organisation fighting crime against nature, warned that the EU remains one of the world’s leading centres of illegal wild

Madam President, in the privacy of these evening debates, Commissioner, I am going to say a Spanish saying to you: To God praying and with the deck giving. And is that we are losing credibility and leadership to jets. In yesterday's work programme I read that they want to reopen the ban on combustion engines by 2035. This is not compatible with having a strong image at COP30, especially because of

Mr President, dear Commissioner, since we are here almost in privacy, you are correcting and reducing – as if it were a sausage, sliced into slices – the whole European Green Deal. They say one thing, but then they do the opposite. They are sent by a gentleman who sat here until recently, Mr. Weber; He tells you, he gives you orders, and you change. Look, my intervention, really, is a request: No,

Mr President, the Commissioner has said that this summer's fires are a direct consequence of the warming of the Mediterranean. Thank you for saying it. And I make a reflection: It is not time to reduce the European Green Deal, it is time to strengthen it. We're listening to him. Therefore, more Pact and less negationism. On funds, Commissioner, we need more environmental policy funds, but the fina

Madam President, Commissioner, Mr Vice-President, some critical remarks: They say they simplify, but they actually deregulate. I give two examples: in the classification and labelling of chemicals or when providing for derogations for carcinogenic substances in cosmetic products. That's the first observation. The second: the chemical sector is very profitable, very profitable. Therefore, there is

Madam President, Commissioner, I would like to express two ideas: firstly, the funds should continue and this Facility should continue. It is one of the best things we did when we were here last term and it must continue. And now, in these 50 seconds that I have left, I'm going to make an approximation to a very specific topic: the issue of the environment and the implementation of the funds in th

Madam President, Commissioner, the European Pact for the Ocean is a positive step, but, look, I would like to remind you that the Agreement on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction has not been signed, and neither have other Member States. I ask that the Ocean Law have binding targets and a clear timetable, because we have to stop

Madam President, congratulations to Mr Bajada, because I think he has done a good job and we already have a consensus, Commissioner, that he will come to you well for his work in the coming weeks. I say this, first, because this report prioritises nature-based solutions – well; secondly, because it advocates objectives to – read in the report – limit water abstraction in both agriculture and indus

Mr. President, then COP16 ended well. We have a funding strategy, a monitoring framework. Is that enough, Commissioner? No, we know it's not. Now we have to finish the task: first, by supporting developing countries, because they are experiencing the biodiversity crisis more severely; second, respecting and protecting the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities; thirdly, Commissioner, r

Mr President, Commissioner, this is a very bad proposal from the European Commission: bad because it will result in cuts and legal uncertainty. They almost completely dismantle due diligence. This means that they leave the most vulnerable links in the chain abandoned, that they cut mandatory civil liability and that they severely limit access to justice for victims. That's what you guys do. In ter

I was looking, Mr. President, in case I was someone from the far right, because I would never have accepted anything, neither blue nor green card. Look, everything related to European funds, despite your Group and your policy in Spain, we are doing well. And I do not want to recall here what you have tried to do with First Vice-President Teresa Ribera. That is, despite the fact that you here are a
