What Henrik spoke about.

Mr. President! The law must be for the good of all men, and it must be understood by all men. It is in the preamble of the oldest law we have preserved in my own country from 1241, and it has always been an endeavor of simplification, it is good legal and political craft. Napoleon compiled the laws of France into one law book. His ambition was for the law to be clear and coherent and to understand

Madam President! If you do not dare to face the truth, you can always blame others for your own problems. It is not Donald Trump or Xi Jinping's fault that things are slow in Europe. The US and China are struggling to attract investment, but in Europe we have chosen a different path - we are drowning our businesses in bureaucracy, complex rules and uncertainty. For many companies, the EU has becom

Mr President! As a Danish politician, it is a special experience to stand here in the European Parliament and discuss migration. It feels like a journey to the nineteenth century. For many years, Denmark has been the subject of harsh criticism for having a realistic approach to migration, but today, fortunately, more and more countries are moving in the same direction as us. This is because migrat

Mr President! Thank you for the word. I think I speak on behalf of almost all Danes when I say that we are deeply grateful for the support that these days comes from the European Parliament and from the EU institutions in defending the sovereignty of Greenland and Denmark. So let me be clear: Thank you from the heart to everyone who supports Denmark and Greenland in a difficult time. It is a matte

Madam President! It is only good that we in the European Parliament are now putting action behind the words and starting the work of removing unnecessary bureaucracy and strengthening competitiveness. We all agree that this is the way to a stronger Europe. That is why it is crucial that the good intentions not only continue to talk, but that we also succeed in creating better conditions in real li

Madam President! Ladies and gentlemen! Dear Prime Minister! Welcome to the European Parliament and Strasbourg and thank you for a good and important speech. We don't need experiments. We need the unification of our common values, freedom, reason and popular rule. And I think the priorities of the Danish Presidency reflect exactly the seriousness and responsibility that is needed. The Danish Prime

Madam President! Dear High Representative, ladies and gentlemen. The rules-based international order cannot be opposed when elected to the European Parliament. For the EU is the epitome of what should be understood by the rules-based international order. But it is also necessary to approach the concept of critical reflection. Is it possible to be a member of the WTO without complying with the rule

I come from a country that is at full speed on the green transition, where we have good minimum wages, where we have good social systems, maternity, for example. This indicates that in the country I come from, we have done our own homework. That is not the task of the European Union. It is political homework that must be done in the national parliaments, and that is what I am trying to say, thank

Mr President! Ladies and gentlemen! Across Europe, the EU is facing criticism from a growing right wing. A right wing that has chosen to align itself with Putin's views in many cases and sees the EU as an institution that steals national competences. But the hard right is all too often created by the middle parties, either because they do too little as in the immigration field, or because they do

Mr President! Hybrid war is not a future phenomenon, a risk we can talk about, it is a reality. Every day we are subjected to hybrid attacks of various kinds: Russian aircraft in our airspace, GPS signals jammed, or sabotage of our critical infrastructure such as cables in the Baltic Sea. But the hybrid war has also shifted to our phones. Russia and China systematically spread misinformation onlin

Thank you, Madam President! The Swedish authorities suspect that Iran is behind two attacks on the Israeli embassy in Stockholm. This shows how seriously we must take the state-sponsored terrorism emanating from Tehran. But conjectures, which I would like to stress, are conjectures, are even wilder. On October 2, two explosions sounded near the Israeli embassy in Copenhagen, and it is the peaceful

Mr President! Thank you for the word. The proposal we are discussing today is super sympathetic. It is guided by good intentions, but as always, the devil hides in detail. The detail I find particularly diabolical, as a Dane, is that the Member States must implement the Minimum Wage Directive as soon as possible. Denmark has for the first time in history initiated a lawsuit against the EU with the

Mr. President. Chinese online platforms such as Temu and Sheen are pushing the European market with products that are, firstly, vertically illegal and, secondly, dangerous. Firstly, these products pose a risk to consumers, but they are also a direct threat to the internal market. Temu systematically undermines the rules we have built to protect European citizens. Those rules comply with European c
