What András spoke about.

The Connecting Europe Facility plays an important role in the development of energy infrastructure in Europe. At the beginning of the new budgetary cycle, it is timely to initiate three aspects: discuss the results achieved, new tasks and the impact on the Central European region. In view of the results, it can be concluded that the instrument has fulfilled its expectations. The projects contribut

My additional question would relate to the duration of the deferral. Several Member States, several energy partner countries and industry indicate that the security of supply risks posed by the Regulation cannot be largely remedied in one year. Therefore, I would like to ask the Commissioner which stakeholders have been consulted on the one-year postponement? Is there a publicly available impact a

Dear Madam President, Dear Commissioner, Europe's energy supply is already uncertain. This is well illustrated by energy prices. Since the entry into force of the Methane Regulation in 2024, oil prices have increased by 35% and natural gas prices by 14%. According to industry assessments, the vast majority of oil and gas imported into the EU would not meet the requirements of the Regulation. There

Dear Madam President, Currently, 90 million European citizens work in SMEs. Our job is to help them thrive. However, Brussels and the Member States have failed so far. Despite repeated promises, the bureaucratic burden on SMEs continues to increase. This is indicated by the fact that an increasing number of small enterprises are forced to carry out administrative tasks for more than 10% of their w

Dear Madam President, European citizens continue to suffer from high energy prices and we must work to break them down. Electrification of the economy can be a good tool here, but we expect a balanced strategy from the Commission rather than binding targets that evoke bad historical times. Firstly, electrification must be adapted to economic realities. Industry should therefore be encouraged to in

Mr. President, please. The use of electricity is growing exponentially, so competitiveness will depend to a large extent on who has cheap electricity and is able to reliably transport it. Because of Brussels' misguided energy policy, we are at a great disadvantage here. European networks are obsolete and electricity prices for our companies are two to three times higher than those of global compet

Dear Mr President, The European automotive industry is in trouble. Since Ursula von der Leyen took office, the global market share of European car manufacturing has been steadily declining. The stakes are huge. Europe's major industry accounts for 7% of GDP and a third of EU R&D investment. The livelihoods of 14 million families in Europe and 160,000 in Hungary depend on the performance of the Eur

Dear Mr President, Wide internet access is an essential prerequisite for economic competitiveness and for raising living standards. However, as the role of the internet increases, the scope of regulatory issues is also constantly expanding, and a global dialogue is needed to discuss them. This is what the UN Internet Governance Forum seeks to do, providing space for discussion and identification o

Dear Mr President, A major challenge in the coming years will be to adapt to the increase in the use of electricity and the massive emergence of weather-dependent renewable capacities. Therefore, the competitive operation of the European economy requires a thoughtful and efficient development of electricity networks. However, the report in front of this House would instead transform our energy sys

Mr. President, please. The European economy is in crisis, one of the main causes of which is the dramatic increase in energy prices. Today, our companies pay about four times more for gas and three times more for electricity than their global competitors. However, the Commission's draft would further deepen the problem rather than solve it. The proposed forced energy import restrictions would lead

Mr. President, please. Natural gas stored in storage facilities is one of the guarantees of European security of supply, and it is therefore opportune to renegotiate and extend the Gas Storage Regulation, which expires at the end of this year. Overall, the proposal before this House is a step in the right direction, but it still contains risky elements. The draft regulation finally recognises the

Madam President, I'm sorry. The Iberian electricity grid shook for less than a minute, leaving tens of millions of European citizens without electricity for half a day. It is up to the national authorities to carry out the investigations, but preliminary lessons can already be drawn. First, the unilateral transformation of the energy system has proven to be a dead end. The development of renewable

Dear Madam President, Energy-intensive industries, such as chemicals, metals and cement, have been a European success story in recent decades. However, these sectors are currently in a serious crisis due to the catastrophic sanctions policy of Brussels and the unfounded green policy. It is therefore opportune for the European Parliament to address this issue. Unfortunately, however, the draft deci

Mr. President, please. High energy prices have become a painful part of the daily lives of EU citizens. On average, one in four families in Europe experienced difficulties in paying their overhead bills on time last year. This is the result of a misguided energy policy in Brussels. Faced with reality, the Commission now recognises that the current energy price level is unsustainable. However, this

Dear Mr President, The European economy is in a serious situation. The Budapest Declaration thus set out a clear plan of action for Brussels. Unfortunately, the Competitiveness Compass does not point in this direction. First, instead of a simplification revolution, we see forced centralisation, which could lead to dozens of new laws. This is wrong. We do not need a planned economy in Brussels, we

Dear Madam President, Despite Brussels' promises, energy prices are once again on the rise. Since February, the price of natural gas has doubled. Our businesses are facing another difficult winter. With the onset of cold weather, one in ten European families have trouble heating their homes. The situation is serious and immediate action is needed. Firstly, we cannot free up market energy prices fo

Dear Mr President, Since its foundation, the European Union has been a community built on the promise of security and prosperity. Affordable housing, including affordable energy, is the basis for prosperity. However, we are now at a point where the Commission's energy policy has resulted in record levels of energy poverty, which is constantly increasing housing problems. One in ten European famili

Dear Madam President, The European automotive industry is in crisis. There are reports of declining sales and downsizing on a daily basis. This is the devastating result of the five-year work of the von der Leyen Commission. The time for empty debates is over. Action is now needed. First of all: we need to create a regulatory framework that helps the automotive industry. The automotive industry, t

Oh, Mr. President. For the ninth time, we are discussing the state of play of European energy policy, and the Commission is, as usual, optimistic. We have heard the Commissioner's victory report, the Energy Union is stronger than ever. Reality, on the other hand, can be summed up in three items: energy prices are skyrocketing, energy solidarity has ceased and energy poverty has become part of the

Dear Madam President, Dear House, Due to Brussels' misguided sanctions and energy policy, the competitiveness of the European economy is at a low point. Economic growth requires a new strategy and as many locally and cheaply available sources of energy as possible. Geothermal energy is like that. Geothermal energy is a predictable, affordable and green energy source. It is a mature technology that

Dear Madam President, The European economy is in a serious crisis. Industrial production fell 5 percent in a year. Competitiveness is in decline, forecasts predict stagnation or recession. Responsibility for this situation lies primarily with the European Commission. What we are seeing is the result of Brussels' industrial policy, which is based on sanctions, unrealistic green targets and increase

(the beginning of the speech is outside the microphone) ... for seventy years he has not been in such a weakened and vulnerable state as he is now. Hundreds of thousands of people are at risk of unemployment. This is also due to the ill-considered policy in Brussels and the misguided sanctions. Unfortunately, the Commission's new package is not fit to address this situation. Increasing bureaucracy
