What Liudas spoke about.

President-in-Office, honourable High Representative, colleagues, at the beginning of October, civilian ships were attacked by drones in the exclusive economic zones of Bulgaria and Romania, and later incidents were also recorded in the territorial waters of Romania. Six attacks took place in ten days, each endangering human lives (and that is the fact that there were dead), disrupting shipping and

President, Commissioner, colleagues, Azerbaijan could rejoice at its improved international situation in the region and turn to European values, and instead continue its war against its own citizens. In September, Azerbaijan's prominent human rights defender and election observer Anar Mammadli was sentenced to thirteen years in prison after an apparently flawed process. Opposition figure Ali Karim

President, honourable High Representative, colleagues. Last week alone, Russia fired 2,100 drones, 1,700 guided aviation bombs and 78 missiles into Ukraine. Drones are modernizing, they are already jets. Targets are not accidental - power plants, heat networks and homes where children sleep. A day ago, NATO fighter jets shot down a drone over Lithuania, and a series of incidents on a train from Ky

Sorry, it was difficult for me to understand the question. I'll try to answer some of that. Are we talking about information and communication? That feedback must therefore be programmed and every investment in humanitarian aid, whatever it may be, must be properly evaluated and dictated by a certain number of follow-up actions. This is how I would understand your question.

Mr President, Commissioner, colleagues. Humanitarian aid is not charity, it is a strategic investment in Europe's security and credibility. Today, there are around 130 active conflicts in the world and they generate around 70% of global humanitarian needs. Demands are growing exponentially and financial resources and operational opportunities are shrinking. However, there is also a clear need to r

Mr President, Commissioner, colleagues. The massacre, which took place in the village of Kawel in Nigeria, shocked not only local communities, but the whole civilized world. For years, armed Islamist groups have been terrorizing villages and communities in Nigeria. Overall, Africa remains the epicentre of violence against Christians today, and in Nigeria we see not isolated crimes, but repeated, c

Mr President, Commissioner, colleagues. Today Moldova demonstrates an impressive European momentum: bilateral screening has been completed, all six clusters of membership negotiations have been potentially opened and twenty-four out of twenty-six reform steps have already been implemented. There has been clear progress in the areas of fundamental values, the internal market and external relations.

Mr President, Commissioner, colleagues. In the face of unprecedented war pressure, Ukraine is successfully strengthening democratic institutions, pursuing judicial reforms, fighting corruption and demonstrating its capacity to absorb every euro of aid responsibly. Meanwhile, the European Union must, already had to open the remaining clusters of negotiations, continue to provide financial support a

Dear President. The Belarusian regime has long crossed the line of fear of even children. Aliaksandra Pulinovich was arrested at school when she was 16. Today, she is a political prisoner sentenced to ten years and three months in the colony, charged with terrorism and extremism. This is a routine example of a mode mode: Use of Courts for Revenge for Free Thought. There is a conveyor in Belarus: b

Mr President, High Representative, colleagues. From this standpoint, we condemned Uzbekistan for helping Russia evade sanctions. It was also embarrassing to see the face of their president when he visited Moscow on May 9. However, we know the consistent position of Uzbekistan, which supports the territorial integrity of Ukraine. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Uzbekistan sought its place i

Mr President, Commissioner, colleagues. The Baltic Sea is exceptionally stormy not only in the weather but also in geopolitical terms. Drowned ships, chemicals, and mines at the bottom left over from World War II are not only symbols of the past, but also the physical reality of today. Meanwhile, the Russian Shadow Fleet is stealing the sea surface, with more than 1,100 aging ships operating outsi

Mr President, Commissioner Andrius, colleagues. Every day, the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and agricultural, biotechnology sectors are increasingly relying on nature-appropriate genetic information, the biologically richest genomes in the world's regions. This innovation chain generates tremendous economic value, but at the same time raises the fundamental question of fair distribution of benefits. F

Mr President, Commissioner, colleagues. Nitrogen suboxide, or N2And according to its chemical formula, it's almost as simple as H2Oh, but by the way, it's not innocent water. It is a so-called laughter gas, and it has a strong effect on the human body, and consumption has serious consequences. It is a potent anaesthetic that is inextricably bound to cause complete anaesthesia or an

Mr President, Commissioner, colleagues. The Commission’s assessments in 2025 show that Ukraine and Moldova have made very good progress, with both countries successfully completing the review process and both seeing positive progress in the areas of democratic institutions, public administration and the rule of law. Therefore, we should not move to the finish line. Previous waves of enlargement ha

Mr President, Commissioner, colleagues. The European Union is founded on the simple but fundamental principle that the law applies equally to everyone and everywhere. When doubts arise in one Member State about the situation of an independent media, the independence of the judiciary or the transparent use of European funds, this is a signal to all of us. The case of Slovakia today becomes such a s

President, Commissioner, colleagues. As far as broadcasts of sports competitions and other live events are concerned, we must admit that the greatest value of their content is revealed precisely at the time the event takes place. "Here and now" is not the same as "return and see at any time". Illegal live broadcasts therefore cause irreversible damage which can no longer be restored after the end
