What Jacek spoke about.

Madam President, thank you very much. The war is taking place in Ukraine, but its economic consequences are also being felt by regions on the eastern border of the European Union. I support the report on the European Union's budget for 2027. It is particularly important to strengthen funding for security and military mobility. But safety isn't just about tanks and soldiers. They are also jobs, inv

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. At the beginning, I would like to thank the authors of the report very much for their very good work. Faced with the enormous challenges facing the European Union today, its budget must be ambitious and geared towards security, growth and equal opportunities for development. It must be the financial backbone of deepening European inte

Madam President, I'm sorry. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. The rule of law conditionality mechanism, which has been in place for five years, is one of the pillars of protecting the transparency, purposefulness and soundness of the management of European Union funds. Today, when we start the planning process for the next Multiannual Financial Framework 2028-2034, we also need to review the functionin

Mr President, thank you very much. Let me start with a quote from the report: "Cohesion policy is a key pillar of the European Union budget. It aims to reduce economic, social and territorial disparities between the countries and regions of the European Union, foster innovation, the green and digital transitions, and strengthen economic cohesion." Let's not forget these key tasks. In 2024, we allo

Dear President, Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Cohesion policy is the cornerstone, backbone of the unity and cohesion of the European Union. Equalizing development opportunities, eliminating differences in the level and living conditions of the inhabitants of European regions is our primary task. If we forget this, we will lose the glue that builds the European community. I am talking about this in

Mr President, Commissioner, thank you very much. Speaking of the review of cohesion policy, I would like to draw attention today to one very important aspect, namely the need to move away from a rigid framework of thematic concentration. Development needs, barriers to economic growth, social deficits are very different in the countries and regions of the European Union. Our regions differ from eac

Mr President, thank you very much. The European Court of Auditors report shows a negative trend of increasing the error rate in budget expenditure to 5.6% and in cohesion policy to as much as 9.3%. Undoubtedly, these are alarming phenomena. This is likely to be influenced by objective factors, such as the cumulation of the implementation of cohesion policy and the Recovery and Resilience Facility.

Mr President, thank you very much. The authorities of the European Union should remain firmly on the side of the Georgian people, who strongly expect integration into the community. Georgia's membership in the European Union is a guarantee of sovereignty and independence from Putin's Russia. As a Pole, I understand very well and I wholeheartedly support these aspirations. If, as a European communi

Mr President, thank you very much. Natural disasters, floods, fires that have hit Europe in recent weeks have caused massive damage to public infrastructure. Roads, bridges, hospitals, schools, cultural and sports facilities have been damaged or completely destroyed. I would like to point out that many of these facilities were still under construction with the support of European funds. Therefore,
