What Adriana spoke about.

On 1 July, the European Union Digital COVID Certificate Regulation entered into force with the aim of helping to restore freedom of movement within the EU, a severely restricted right following the declaration of the pandemic. From this date, Member States should be prepared to issue and verify the physical or electronic document proving which persons are vaccinated, have been tested or have passe

Madam President, there is nothing more valuable than our right to vote as Members, and this is being infringed by the European Parliament, the Bureau itself and President Metsola herself. Therefore, we ask from the S&D Group that we be allowed to exercise our right to vote during our maternity or paternity leave. For me, this will be my last plenary session, since I am thirty-six weeks old, and I

Madam President, Commissioner, this debate is probably not going to open any news, but certainly today, on Europe Day, I think it will change the lives of European citizens. The data corroborate this: 9 out of 10 EU citizens believe in the Green Deal and sustainability, but only 32% have the capacity today to repair their products on our European market. It is therefore important for the European

Mr President, Commissioner, you are going to allow me to use these two minutes primarily to thank the shadow rapporteurs for this good cooperation we have had in this Parliament's own initiative, an example of when politics wants, it can negotiate, agree and, above all, come up with important legislation. That is what we are ultimately asking the Commission to do. I am pleased to know that the Com

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I would first of all like to thank all the political groups that have been involved in the preparation of this own-initiative report by the European Parliament, which focuses on a very important issue today in the European Union: the video game industry at European level. The aim of this report has two very clear legs. Firstly, to highlight the nee

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, one of the political priorities of this European Commission, of this European Parliament, is undoubtedly the Digital Decade. A Digital Decade that not only serves as an engine of transformation, but that this Path to the Digital Decade by 2030 puts on the horizon real problems that we have today in the European Union. And I want to focus mainly

Madam President, Commissioner, rapporteur of the report, Mr Agius Saliba, today is an important day in the European Union. A text on which the various European institutions have been working since 2009 has finally been adopted. But you'll agree with me that he's late: since 2009... More than 13 years to adopt this directive on the common European shipper; I usually compare this process with roamin

Madam President, Commissioner, this is an important - and, I dare say, urgent - debate, because data speaks for itself in the European Union. SMEs represent more than two thirds of the productive and employment fabric in the European Union and represent 99% of the fabric of the European Union. Therefore, they provide employment in a large majority of the European Union and, on top of that, that em

Madam President, during the last four or five days, the Autonomous Community of Navarre has suffered historic fires, with more than 10 000 hectares affected. It has also happened and, on a larger scale, in the province of Zamora. This is not something that is only happening in Spain. Throughout Europe we see these effects as a result of climate change, increasingly repetitive and with much greater

Mr President, Commissioner, cybersecurity is a matter of democracy. Right now, the war we live in, which affects children, women and men, has faces, but also the face of computer science. That is why the European Union must rise to the occasion. Ukraine is facing never-before-seen cyberattacks on the Ministry of Defense and also on the banking sector. The European Union is challenged to update its

Madam President, Commissioner, today we are debating here a resolution that we hope will soon become a law and become a reality for all European citizens, because this is what the great European society demands, since more than 77% of the citizens of the European Union would prefer to repair their devices instead of buying a new one. In the society in which we live today, where climate ambition is

Madam President, Commissioner, I would first like to congratulate my colleague Simona Bonafè on the great report that the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety has been able to produce. I think it is important that we put into context the reason for the importance of this future regulation (former directive – already something very important –) that is going to come out possi

Mr President, Commissioner, I would first like to congratulate Brando Benifei on this report. This is a very important report because it talks about issues of vital importance to the European Union, such as security and the single market, and the children of the European Union. Looking at the data, in recent years the European Union's Dangerous Products Alert System has shown that out of 100 dange

Mr President, first of all, I would like to congratulate my colleague, Christel Schaldemose, on the enormous work she has done during these months of negotiations: I know that these have been complex months in which it has had to reach great agreements, and today we are here to adopt a text that I think we consider balanced. The Digital Services Act can be an opportunity to change the digital worl

Mr President, Madam Executive Vice-President Vestager, Commissioner Breton, we are the first continent in the world to legislate and regulate large platforms: there is no other country or continent that has done it before and, therefore, we have to be at the forefront and be a totally reference continent in these great areas. Large platforms dominate much of our day-to-day lives and have changed o

Mr President, Commissioner, we have to learn the lessons that this COVID-19 crisis has left us and, undoubtedly, one of them is that we have to prepare ourselves healthily to face, from the European Union, future health crises in a much more effective, more optimized and much more coordinated way. I want, first of all, to highlight the joint purchase of vaccines that has been made in a coordinated
