What Daniela spoke about.

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the social market economy is a founding pillar of the European Union and is based on the principle that there can be no real economic development without social progress. I am a bit surprised, however, by the debate we are having today, because in reality we have talked about quality jobs in these five years, first because of the pandemic and then for the whole

Mr President, Commissioner Schmit, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to raise the issue of social conditionality in public procurement, which is an unavoidable condition for ensuring not only European and national labour law rules, but also fair competition within the internal market between European companies and between European companies and companies from third countries operating on our cont

Mr President, Mr High Representative, ladies and gentlemen, we are living in a historic period in which conflicts and numerous crises on both sides of the Atlantic risk destabilising Western democracies and reshaping the new geopolitical balance at international level for the coming decades. Our values of freedom, democracy and the rule of law are constantly under threat and make it more necessary

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, in 2010, when I first started working on European agricultural policies, I addressed the issue of generational renewal, especially that of women, as a priority emergency. Since then little has changed, because, despite millions of euros invested, the real issues that prevent our young people from entering this wonderful production sector have not y

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the war in Ukraine has demonstrated Europe's serious dependence on plant proteins, which are essential for human and animal nutrition. For this reason, the European Parliament asks the Commission for a European protein strategy to ensure food self-sufficiency, reconciling it with economic, social and environmental sustainability. I consider it e

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, we are experiencing unprecedented developments in the world of work that require new protections and new digital rights. At the origin of the spread of mental disorders there are also job insecurity, social inequalities and devastating health phenomena, such as mobbing and burnout. Eradicating all this by offering certainty about the future, decent working co

(IT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, your proposal to extend the authorisation of the use of glyphosate raises concerns for public health and our farms because it is mainly based on an incomplete EFSA study that does not investigate the relationship between glyphosate and additives and because it does not take into account the precautionary measures taken by many Member States, s

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner Schmit, this weekend I discussed with young people in my region how much in-work poverty affects their entry into the labour market. With regard to this issue, the right-wing forces of the European Parliament are pretending nothing, while the right-wing forces that govern my country are turning the other way as if the problem did not exist. Six mill

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, one year after the publication of the World Health Organisation report classifying occupational exposure of firefighters as carcinogenic, the European Commission is finally committing itself today to dealing with the 3 million firefighters, after repeated requests from us in the Committee on Labour. Their role, in fact, for the protection of our

Mr President, droughts, extreme weather events and energy dependence on non-European countries are showing us that the energy transition can no longer be postponed. It is very clear how high the social and environmental cost of the delays accumulated over the years, which are punctually passed on to the weakest subjects of our society, fuelling poverty and inequality. Today, 55 million European ci

Mr President, Commissioner Schmit, ladies and gentlemen, Parliament's report on the revision of the directive on European Works Councils sets out, in my view, one of the cornerstones of a new industrial relations system, which should characterise the European labour market. Parliament called for the further development of employee participation, information and consultation as prerequisites for a

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, our farmers are on the verge of collapse. I give you some data regarding the inflation of my country which is Italy: +170% for fertilizers, +90% for feed, +130% for diesel, up to +500% for the costs of electricity to irrigate the fields. So I believe that the issue is not only that one in three farms is at risk of closure, but I believe that the ve

Mr President, Commissioner, Minister Balaš, ladies and gentlemen, the European Union's insufficient action is condemning 18 million children to poverty and permanent social exclusion, and all this is happening in the almost total indifference of governments and institutions, which underestimate a dramatic situation, without having in mind the real repercussions on families and children. It is unac

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, you have presented a very optimistic picture, you have tried to defend the indefensible, because in the twelve years of preparation for these World Cups in Qatar the European institutions and international institutions have remained silent in front of 6 500 dead workers, these are the data of the Guardian, and the rights of women, homosexuals, e

(IT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, the conflict in Ukraine is generating a world food war that threatens our food security and the possibility of guaranteeing food in the poorest countries. Fertilizers, whose price has increased by 200%, have become a rare commodity for farmers, while producers struggle to stay on the market or close due to high bills and shortages of raw mater

Mr President, Commissioner Schmit, ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow's vote on the minimum wage directive is historic, because it closes the legislative process of the first truly incisive European law of social Europe, the labour law, in my opinion, more important than the last seventy years of our European history. I am deeply attached to this directive both because of my political history and beca

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Mr Vice-President, the Social Climate Fund will provide important support to vulnerable households and micro-enterprises, which have already been hit by the pandemic and are now even more affected by rising inflation and high bills. As a 5 Star Movement, we are satisfied, because this regulation recognises the 110 % superbonus for energy efficiency as a good

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner Wojciechowski, the organic action plan can be an important tool for reconciling environmental objectives and European agricultural sovereignty, which are now more important than ever. But setting the target of 25% organic land by 2030, when several states do not even reach 5%, means two things: Either it's an excuse to create a watered-down organ

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, since the beginning of the war, there have been 4 million Ukrainian refugees in the European Union, including more than 1 million minors, of whom we are talking today, with regard to their path of entry into Europe and all the actions we are taking to welcome them and obviously protect their rights, which, as has been said, are fundamental. However

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, Putin's unjustified and unjustifiable war against Ukraine is showing us that food pressure and famine are also political weapons and negotiating issues. That is why a strong and cohesive response from the European Union is urgently needed. We must help Ukraine, a country with a strong agricultural vocation, not to interrupt its production and to

Madam President, Presidents, ladies and gentlemen, the peace that we have all taken for granted in Europe today is no longer the same. Peace requires four essential conditions: truth, justice, love and freedom. This phrase of Pope John Paul II today is more relevant than ever. If Putin is trampling on all four of these conditions, on the contrary, we must bear witness to them, with all our politic

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, with the report we are about to vote on, the European Parliament establishes, among other things, the principle of 'zero tolerance' for deaths at work. A massacre that only in my country, Italy, sees the death of four workers on average a day. As a 5 Star Movement we welcome this relationship; thanks to our amendments, all of which have been adopte

Madam President, Commissioners, Minister, ladies and gentlemen, the European Semester should focus on social priorities: on education, skills, combating youth unemployment, combating in-work poverty, for which the minimum wage directive needs to be adopted as soon as possible. In the Committee on Employment I voted against the report because, in my opinion, it does not take due account of the aspe

(IT) Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, in Italy there are 1 200 deaths at work per year, on average three people a day, a real daily slaughter. These losses add up to 8,000 deaths per year from exposure to carcinogens in the workplace, which occur in silence and absolute indifference from institutions, the media and society. At least 5% of these malignancies are due to workplace ex

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, the agreement reached in trilogue is crucial because it guarantees a new CAP that is complemented, for the first time, by a green architecture and social conditionality, but I think that the real challenge begins tomorrow. Member States will have to be able to incorporate the new principles into their national strategic plans, accompanying thous
