What Gerald spoke about.

Madam President, Commissioner! More and more Europeans cannot afford life. And you can't think of anything about it in the short term. You know who the biggest price driver is. Let's take the price of gasoline. Example of Austria: It will be the same everywhere in the European Union. Percentages of the gasoline price are 9 percent CO2-Pricing – this is the Green Deal; by you, as specified by the E

Madam President, Commissioner! For days, panic has been fueled by a Hantavirus that is not new and has been known for decades. There are now 9 confirmed cases, tragically 3 deaths. Terrible, of course, but what you're hiding is that this virus isn't new at all. In the past, thousands of cases have not touched anyone. From statistics: In 2008, 4 310 cases were registered in the European Union; 4 67

Mr President! Agriculture is bad. Farmers across Europe are protesting, taking to the streets. And if I look at these speeches today: I don't think the farmers have any hope. You, Commissioner, have exceeded your speaking time by four minutes, but you have said nothing tangible. The situation is so bad because producer prices are constantly falling – milk price 45 cents, 50 cents. On the other han

Madam President, Madam Vice-President of the Commission, you really disappointed us today. I would have expected, if the EU-India free trade agreement were to be signed at the end of January, that you would at least present the cornerstones of this free trade agreement today and here. So you delivered platitudes. They didn't provide any details. And you know that farmers are demonstrating in front

Madam President, The causes of breast cancer need to be addressed. To the figures worldwide: 2.26 million new cases in 2019, forecast for this year: 2.6 million new cases and 3.2 million new cases by 2050, an exorbitant increase. A really big problem. We launched MEHA, a new European health initiative, in Brussels last week. Dr. Robert Malone was also present. Commissioner Jørgensen, you certainly

Yes, that's the usual left-wing manslaughter argument that comes with playing against each other. If you had listened to me, you would have noticed that in the one-and-a-half minutes I had, I worked hard for the farmers, for the farmers. The rural area needs the farmers because they are the preservers of our cultural landscape, our tradition, and if the farmers are lost to us more and more, then t

Madam President, esteemed Executive Vice-President! Everyone wants to strengthen rural areas. Only, a partial aspect: What do we do in rural areas without farmers? Cohesion policy has failed completely in this matter. I am from Austria, from Tyrol. Just one example: In 2000, farmers received about 0.34 euros for one liter of milk. Now they get between 0.40 and 0.55 euros, a little more, but much l

Mr President, Commissioner! I do not need to repeat everything that has been said so far. Certainly necessary, but Commissioner, we have 450 million inhabitants in the EU and our health systems are collapsing. That's the big problem. We recently heard from the Health Committee that 1.2 million doctors, nurses and midwives were missing in 2022 alone. So if we need doctors for the rare diseases now,

If you were a member of the People's Party: The Bauernbund – your group – is against Mercosur, while the Wirtschaftsbund and the Österreichische Arbeiterbund – including your party – are fully committed to Mercosur and thus to the betrayal of agriculture. Do your job!

Mr President! Commissioner, do you really believe that with this vision the farmers' protests are going down and that with your vision you are taking away the fears of the future from the farmers? I'm sure: Not because the main problem many farmers have is the accession or takeover of Mercosur. We should and we must prevent Mercosur because Mercosur is the death knell for many farms. To prove this

Madam President, Commissioner! Of course, everyone will support you in the goal of having enough critical medicines and medicines for the European population at all. But the first step – this has already been mentioned – is to make an effort to relocate the active substances, 80% of which are produced by China and India, back to production in Europe – this would really have to be discussed separat

Madam President, As a reminder: The left side is constantly complaining about Trump. To your recollection: Trump was democratically elected for a program. Did the voters in America vote wrong from your point of view? First of all. Secondly, Milei – Argentina – is also leaving this disastrous World Health Organisation. If an honest reappraisal of the disastrous COVID policy were to be carried out h

Mr President! We discussed a recent OECD report from 2022. 2022, where it was found that 1.2 million doctors, nurses etc. are missing. I wonder: Why have we not reacted in the meantime, now we are writing the year 2025? The demographic change mentioned in the report was known to be obsolete for doctors and nurses. What is never mentioned here is that during the COVID-19 pandemic, doctors and nurse

Mr President, colleagues! Health policy cannot be just a vaccination policy, and that was the case with COVID-19. If the European Union now wants to help, my question to you, Commissioner: How much vaccine against monkeypox will you order in total at what conditions? Finally, transparency must be introduced into this entire vaccine policy. The second crucial question is: These approximately 20,000
