What Anja spoke about.

Madam President, Steel plants in the EU are subject to horrendous CO2-emissions from the emissions trading system. That's why European steel became more expensive and preferred to be imported. The Commission's revenues from this ETS system alone amounted to more than EUR 43 billion last year. Instead of abolishing ETS because it endangers our own steel plants and the rest of the industry, the Comm

Mr President, honourable Members! Today it is not about progress or stagnation. Today it is about trust, freedom of choice and control over our seeds, our food and our agriculture. We are voting on the deregulation of so-called NGT1 plants. These plants are genetically modified using new genomic techniques and can end up in food, feed and our fields. We are told that this could theoretically also

Madam President, First, a sensational message: In April, the doomsday was personally cancelled by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). He said that the previous extreme scenario 8.5 with a temperature increase of up to six degrees is implausible. So it was nonsense. But that's exactly what you've been building your climate panic and CO for 15 years2-Taxation system ETS open. Last

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Biodiversity is not a side issue. It is the basis of our existence for food, clean water and economic value creation. This is also evident in the genetic resources that are at stake here in this Cali fund today. In the genetic information of plants, animals, microorganisms lie active substances, genes and biological processes, which are of great value for res

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen! This new policy has dangerous side effects. It threatens our supply of cheap medicines. The aim is to install a fourth purification stage in wastewater treatment plants in order to remove drug residues from the wastewater. Of course, we want clean wastewater, but now pharmaceutical and cosmetics manufacturers should pay at least 80 percent of the cost of

Mr President! The title of this debate is ‘Re-establishing control over migration’. This title alone is a declaration of bankruptcy of the EU migration policy. The loss of control is no coincidence. It is the result of an EU external border that is still as brittle as a Swiss cheese, unsuitable laws and a lack of enforcement. In 2024 alone, around 919 000 illegally staying persons were identified

Madam President, The climate hoax has long since been exposed by insider reports since 2007. Nevertheless, the EU has again drafted a resolution for the World Climate Conference in Brazil. It is a slap in the face of our citizens. Under the pretext of climate protection, a gigantic transfer of funds is to be decided: from European citizens to developing countries, from developing countries to glob

Mr President! A year ago, an incredible heavy rain occurred in Valencia in Spain. In 24 hours, an incredible 300 liters per square meter fell. 230 people died. This heavy rain is dismissed as a weather phenomenon, and climate change due to CO2Emissions are blamed. This is not only wrong, but it also hides important facts: Since 1980, neighboring Morocco has been producing artificial rain with silv

Madam President, Will the European Union roll out another red carpet to the pharmaceutical industry? Today we are talking about public health risks in a Europe affected by global warming. This summer there was an urgent announcement in the Tagesschau in Germany: There are more and more local outbreaks of tropical diseases transmitted by mosquitoes in southern Europe, such as dengue fever, Zika, ma

Madam President, The CO2-Border adjustment mechanism to be simplified. However, the new proposal would still provide 99 percent of our imports of iron, steel, cement, fertilizers and aluminum with unsustainably high CO2 emissions.2Charges are charged. And for what? For a completely harmless CO2-Noble gas and for emissions that have also been generated abroad. How crazy is that? It's not about pean

Madam President, Today we are discussing the EU Commission's new chemicals package. The aim is to simplify the rules and avoid unnecessary burdens for companies – why only now and not right from the start? BASF and Dow are cutting jobs in Germany. These simplifications come too late, as Mr Ehler has just pointed out. A whole industry is migrating, and you've caused this! Simplifications are not co

Madam President, The new deal for pollinators is the next centralist insanity from Brussels. The same commission, which overwhelms farmers with conditions, is destroying insects with its own energy transition. Each wind turbine kills 40 million insects every year, and we have 280 000 wind turbines in the European Union. Our wind turbines kill 9 trillion insects every year. Before Brussels adopts n

Mr President! I've been in the European Parliament for a year now and I'm witnessing Ursula von der Leyen ruining Europe with a Green DealIt's not green at all, it's deep red. This policy is not based on science, but on played – yes, played – oekoreligious fanaticism. It destroys our economy, our agriculture, our energy supply and even our environment, and ultimately our livelihood. Sooner or late

Madam President, In the EU, a picture or video of child sexual abuse is published online every second. For one of our children, every single admission means lifelong stress, injury and often trauma. It is right to now also legally record and criminalise AI-generated abuse images and videos and the initiation of contact with children via the Internet. We as ESN explicitly support this. But what the

Mr President! The Green Deal It has become a gigantic program of economic destruction. In 2022, European companies had to pay 39 billion euros for emission allowances alone. In Germany, more than 120,000 industrial jobs were lost last year. Imports from other EU countries are now much cheaper and make our producers create. And now CBAM – the CO2-Border-balancing – putting this back in order? From

Madam President, Attention, dear citizens! Now, besides the Green Deal also another Blue Deal arise. It should start with the European Water Resilience Strategy. The climate is to blame again. This strategy requires that you all use drastically less water. But not only you, but also agriculture and industry. And to help you handle water more efficiently, it encourages you to increase the price of

Madam President, Germany is losing its energy-intensive industry – and thus jobs, innovation and the future. According to the DIHK, gas prices are up to seven times more expensive and electricity prices up to five times more expensive than in other competing countries. More than half of the large companies are thinking about emigrating. And this is not a German problem – it is a European disaster

Madam President, On February 12, a horrific massacre took place in the Congo: 70 Christians – men, women and children – were abducted by the Islamist ADF militia and murdered in a barbaric manner with machetes and hammers. This Islamist brutality in the Congo is not an isolated case. I would like to thank the Commission for making this terror a topic here and for finally standing up for religious

Madam President, Donald Trump has withdrawn from the Paris climate agreement. That's why we should all celebrate him today. He cleans up with the most powerful climate fairy tale, with which all state raids and restrictions on freedom are justified. The climate fairy tale tells that people are acutely endangered by a rise in global temperature of more than 1.5 degrees. This happened last year and

Mr President! Yes, we had a heat record in 2024. The global average temperature was 1.6 degrees above pre-industrial levels. Well, what? A warmer climate has always been a blessing for humans. Only technical inventions make it possible for us to survive in colder regions. Cold is the killer for people, not the heat that is at stake today. Due to the current severe cold, the German authorities have
