What Raffaele spoke about.

The guidelines contained in the Action Plan to protect the marine ecosystem presented by the Commission are of considerable concern, with particular reference to bottom trawling, which would be banned in 30% of our seas. Our fishermen have made enormous efforts to protect the marine environment and recover fish stocks and are facing extremely difficult challenges in all respects, with significant

We have said this many times before and we have shown it with the votes in this House. We must eliminate bureaucracy, so that there is no imposition on farmers, on transporters, on those who work. We need to cut red tape. Europe has become a jungle that kills our businesses.

We are for nuclear to be reactivated, especially in countries where it has been eliminated, because next-generation nuclear is definitely a clean nuclear and can really solve energy problems.

(IT) Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, over the last ten years, according to data from the European Commission itself, house prices have increased by 60%, transport by 30% and bills have exploded. They are not opinions, they are Brussels data. They tell us that we have to take responsibility, but it is not the citizens who have to solve the energy crisis. It is not small busines

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, let us look carefully at the simplification proposals contained in the so-called 'omnibus packages'. The Commission seems to have understood that its political agenda has no future in a deindustrialised Europe: without industry there is no transition; There is only economic desertification. It is essential to speed up authorisations. Authorizing a

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, tomorrow we will be voting on two very important dossiers: simplification and strengthening the position of farmers in the agri-food chain. We talk about the daily lives of those who work the land, the survival of our farms and the food security of European citizens. Strengthening the position of farmers means defending the value of our production.

Madam President, thank you for your presence, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, on Monday we voted in committee on the INI on the future of agriculture. As Patriots we voted in favour of over 50 compromises, appreciating the no to the single fund, an adequate budget in the multiannual financial framework and administrative simplification. We abstained, however, on the final vote, for the vague w

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, today I bring to the House the cry of alarm of so many Italian and European companies. The ideological obsession with the Green Deal is getting worse and more damaging to industrial production in our countries. The discontinuation of free ETS allowances and the introduction of the CBAM will greatly harm our companies, enrich Chinese and US compa

Mr President, Commissioner, your document contains interesting points such as the reference to productivity and food security. But we would have expected much more: It is time for the Commission to clarify what direction it intends to take for European agriculture, after the many negatives of the past legislature. There is no reference to the size and continuity of CAP funds; On the contrary, it s

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, it is economically proven that the free market brings economic development and prosperity, and that is why, in principle, we are in favour of it. However, it is crucial that the agreements are mutually beneficial. This is not the case for Mercosur. Farmers and ranchers are desperately trying to make us understand the severity of the impact this

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the situation in Venezuela has become unsustainable in terms of democratic legitimacy and there is no prospect of improvement. Indeed, it has worsened further with the expulsion of several diplomats from Italy, France and the Netherlands. It is time for the international community to take a strong stand against the regime and against Maduro's dictatorship, to en

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I welcome the Commissioner. It is well known that the challenges of our farmers are varied and complex, and this has been clearly demonstrated by the many protests of the past months. There is a need to underline another aspect that is not adequately considered: their working conditions. In fact, they often operate under high pressure, with grueling hours and un

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, cities and regions have historically played a major role in the birth and formation of our Europe. The real strength of local communities lies in the enhancement of autonomy and responsibility. The European Union, in order to be realistically efficient, must respect regional peculiarities, putting at the centre policies oriented towards economic efficiency, secu

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, competitiveness and innovation have long been at the heart of the political debate. I wonder then how we think we can compete with other nations that run fast, such as the United States and China, when we limit ourselves with an excessive burden of bureaucracy, unbalancing the competition to our disadvantage? In addition to stopping innovation, excessive bureauc

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Mr High Representative, we are at a time of particular tension and instability, which at any moment can lead to a much greater war, not just a regional one. The situation in the Middle East and Lebanon is marked by an alarming increase in violence and death. It is clear that this escalation is the direct result of the criminal terrorist attack by Hamas on 7 O

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, first of all, my solidarity with the people of Emilia Romagna. Today we are faced with an issue of crucial importance. Drought and extreme weather events pose a significant threat to local communities and the agricultural sector and in my Sicily at this time we have suffered very serious damage, the situation is very difficult. The entrepreneurial

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the interaction between patents and standards is crucial for innovation and growth, as patents stimulate research and development and enable innovative companies to obtain adequate returns on their invested capital. Approximately 84% of users of essential patents are small and medium-sized enterprises. For these reasons, the mere threat of a measur

Mr President, Madam Representative, ladies and gentlemen, in order to achieve a fully functioning area of freedom, security and justice, it is important that all Member States seek to reduce the fragmentation of national justice systems and take advantage of all the opportunities offered by the European Union and, in particular, those relating to digitalisation. In order to ensure greater judicial

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, thanks to the rapporteur for the work she has done, but, despite her good will, there are some elements that we cannot share. The desire to install CCTV on vessels has always been against us, as the introduction of invasive technologies such as cameras is clearly at odds with company confidentiality, privacy and workers' rights, and would also entail addition

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, first of all I would like to thank the rapporteur, Marion Walsmann, for the work she has done and, above all, for guiding the European Parliament towards a result that I consider to be of great importance. I am convinced that the new regulation on the protection of geographical indications for craft and industrial products will bring significant benefits to both

(IT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Madam Commissioner, Madam representative of the Council, the ethical issue is at the heart of a great many debates at this time and deserves in-depth reflection. A political decision, if taken with respect for the interests and will of its representatives, is in all respects an ethical decision. Unfortunately, we have recently seen how and with what ease an

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, thanks to the rapporteur, we can say that we have worked constructively on this report on small-scale artisanal fishing, which is one of the greatest traditional excellences of our country. The socio-economic and employment aspects for the coastal communities and territories involved are many and should not be neglected, if anything supported th
