What Janusz spoke about.

Madam President, the MFF in one minute, quite a challenge. The Commissioner knows that this is never business as usual. There is always something special. What is special now, apart from the centralised model in heading one, is the fact that this is the first ever wartime budget. And we have to repay a huge debt with probably new own resources. Soon we are to hear from the Council. What is the sta

Mr President, Commissioner, the MFF is a bold venture into the future, as we are programming the Union until 2034. And this is a vision with figures in our unpredictable world. And this is never business as usual – always exceptional circumstances. Now we have war back on our continent; therefore, we should equip our first‑ever Commissioner for Defence with a real budget. Now this is all about 'of

Madam President, I'm sorry. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. I was at the birth of legal conditionality in 2020-2021. In fact, every money in our budget is conditional, because in order to obtain this money, you have to meet certain criteria or win these competitions. Our toolbox, our instruments to defend the rule of law, because it is fresh, is quite rich. These are the so-called enabling conditions

Madam President, Minister, Commissioner, in one week only, we are to see the vision of Europe post-2027. Equipped with budgetary figures that is not telling, but simple political declarations. But a week before we know practically nothing. And this is not good. We know what our priorities are across the European Union and what is the most exciting thing I am to ask is how to reconcile the mission

Mr President, Commissioner, the multiannual framework is never business as usual. There are always exceptional circumstances. When Commissioner Serafin was younger, there was a pressure close to blackmail by Prime Minister Cameron ahead of his unhappy British referendum. Then the pandemic and double funding of our budget and NextGenerationEU; therefore, we now have a problem of how to repay NextGe

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I would like to thank you. We agree on Parliament's priorities for 2026. Parliament's negotiating power should be solidly supported by a majority vote on Wednesday. This is important because Parliament has a real impact on the annual budgets of the codecision, and especially now we have huge problems to find a solid financial response to new cha

Madam President, Commissioner, annual budget procedure is seemingly routine, but in fact, this is never business as usual. What is unusual about 2025 is that this is the first budget based on revision of the MFF, implementing the so-called 'cascade mechanism', and the last budget of Johannes Hahn, drafted by Johannes Hahn – for me, an incarnation of the honest broker. With one minute, one issue on

Madam President, I'm sorry. This is Commissioner Hahn's last budget. I wanted to thank him personally, but he's not in this room anymore. He'll probably show up again, 'cause he's a regular. w the European Parliament. The 2025 budget draws attention to a completely financially secondary issue, but it has already gained political prominence in the 2025 budget, i.e. the issue of the financing of wal

Mr President, thank you very much. Commissioner, thank you very much. Today we are taking another test of European unity and solidarity in the face of the aggression against Ukraine. This is not the first and not the last test, a difficult test, because it is a race against time. The American shareholder of the program has had trouble with our six-month cycle of renewing sanctions against Russia.

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. The annual budgetary procedure consists of repetitive, routine steps. But it's not business as usual, especially now that we're designing budgets in an increasingly unpredictable time, in the shadow of war. National budgets will gradually be militarized. Unfortunately, for the time being, this is being transferred very gradually to th

Madam President, I'm sorry. European money is not unconditional. Traditional conditionality is related to the use of this money in agreement with the European Commission, with a high degree of discretion in the structural funds and much greater rigour in the National Recovery Plans. But two countries have provoked rule of law conditionality. This is Hungary and, unfortunately, my country, Poland.

Mr President, thank you very much. The 2024 budget is the budget with which the European Parliament goes to the elections, so it is good that it is on time. People expect an agreement from us and they pay us for it, not for protracted disputes between institutions they don't understand. Of course, we are aware that the annual conciliation concerns millions, because billions are already arranged, h

Madam President, I'm sorry. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. I am a living memory of previous attempts to introduce new own resources for the European Union. Commissioner Hahn is witnessing that these attempts were not successful. What has been done since then? Simplify VAT and introduce a tax on untreated plastic. This is not a very efficient source of budget power. In addition, it requires compensat

Madam President, I'm sorry. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. The multiannual financial framework, as the name suggests, has a multi-annual horizon. And this is their value, because it is predictable, investment money – which is generally lacking in national and local budgets – which makes it possible to finance investments that are long-term in nature. This is particularly important for countries such

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. The budget of the European Union stands out from the budgets of national states and Member States with its long-term predictability. This is a huge advantage, because it makes this budget an instrument for financing long-term investments, primarily in the broadly understood infrastructure, which for a country like Poland is of great v

Mr President, thank you very much. Right in time delivery of yourself. I'm sorry for disappearing, but we're discussing it at the same time. guidelines in my group, i.e. the EPP group. I choose from this debate those voices that make it clear that if we have new initiatives, especially legislative ones, they should be financed by fresh money, and not by the typical in recent years Muddling Trough.

Mr President, thank you very much. Commissioner, thank you very much. The 2024 budget is the budget with which Parliament will go for the European elections, so it must contain an answer to the problems and fears of the people of Europe. This is the second wartime budget, which also generates costly commitments, but is limited by the ceilings of the current financial perspective, which was agreed

Mr President, thank you very much. Budget agreements are always good news in these turbulent times, amid so much uncertainty. This is the wartime budget. Macro-Financial Assistance does not have direct budgetary implications, but there are elements of assistance to Ukraine in this budget, primarily in the neighbourhood policy. This is an inflation time budget, which exacerbates ongoing projects. T

Madam President, I'm sorry. The 2023 budget is the first budget of wartime in the pacifist by its very nature of the European Union, the last budget of the 2014-2020 perspective that I have been drafting, and the last year for contracting national recovery plans. It may come as a surprise that, in such extraordinary circumstances, the Council's budget line is , i.e. cuts, in part contradicting the

Commissioner, I'm sorry. Mr. President, I'm sorry. In the EIB's operations, there is an indelible tension between the quasi-public mission and the normal pursuit of maximising the financial result. And in both reports that we are discussing, these specific commitments of the EIB as our private bank, which at the moment is facing the new rules voted today as a bank for the digitisation of small and

Madam President, I'm sorry. Poland has been a front country for three months. Russian missiles are falling several kilometers from our eastern border. Poles have opened their homes and hearts to millions of refugees. The Commission sees this and has taken a decision widely discussed in Poland – it has approved the National Recovery Plan. Aware that the conditions set – the disciplinary chamber or

Madam President, I'm sorry. Commissioner, thank you very much. Today we are closing the first phase of work on the 2023 budget. It is never, there are always extraordinary circumstances, now there are more than ever before. 2023 will be the last year of the current financial perspective with full freedom for Member States to spend their money. But it should also be the year of the launch of the Pa

Madam President, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, Commissioner! The Recovery and Resilience Facility is an extraordinary testimony of European solidarity to meet extraordinary challenges. The European Commission is borrowing to get this money into the economy as quickly as possible. Therefore, it is pleased that this money is flowing to most European countries, including Spain, which were affected

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. The budget agreement is good news for a pandemic-ridden Europe. The conciliation procedure did not deviate from the routine of previous years – the dramatic split on Friday, the agreement on the last day of the conciliation, i.e. on Monday. This is business as usual. What's new is the content of this budget. Admittedly, advances from
