Presentation of the programme of activities of the Polish Presidency (debate)
Europe needs concrete words, not empty words – it's time for bold decisions! Unfulfilled promises are a hallmark of Donald Tusk - should Europe follow this path? The government of Donald Tusk in Poland is a symbol of the lack of concreteness and unfulfilled declarations. Now we see the same mistakes in his approach to the announcement of the Polish Presidency of the Council of the EU. Europe deser

I am pleased that you are talking about the cost of living for European citizens. It's very good that you're paying attention to this. On the other hand, I have a question for you: in this case, what is your position on the abolition or profound reform of the ETS system, which, after all, exacerbates the cost of living for those who are the least affluent when it comes to heating, when it comes to

Empowering Europeans to address the cost-of-living crisis (debate)
Madam President, I'm sorry. It is clear that Russia is a huge threat to Europe, including Ukraine, as we see in the hostilities that this country is waging against Ukraine. On the other hand, we must also be aware, when we are discussing the report on Ukraine here today, that any move from Ukraine towards Europe must be preceded by the truth. And I am sadly shocked by the decision taken by Preside
Dear Member, I am surprised by your attitude, because I recall Germany's position at the beginning when the war broke out in 2022. And then, I remember perfectly well, because I was at a meeting with Olaf Scholz in Berlin, how he reacted and how Germany was absolutely passive at the time when it came to helping Ukraine. Therefore, when I hear your statement today and instructing Poland in this reg

Madam President, I'm sorry. The automotive sector is extremely important for the whole of Europe. We know very well what supply chains look like, how many Member States are involved in this industry when it comes to earning opportunities there.

Mr President, I would like to thank you very much. There is no doubt today that the Baltic Sea needs protection and real corrective action. This is an extremely sensitive sea, and that is why we need a policy based on facts, not a convenient excuse to blame the fishermen.
