What Jagna spoke about.

Thank you to the author for this comprehensive document. You have clearly identified the problems of the European economy. I am glad that some things have been named directly - if we do not act now and if we do not take radical steps, we risk an economic collapse, from which it will be difficult to recover. Europe is rapidly losing its position of economic power to the US and China. The level of c

Mr President, thank you very much. Dear Commissioner, Europe needs a UN Convention on the Rights of Older Persons, but not as another declaration, but as a document that will really protect our rights, because old age awaits each of us. But it is worth emphasizing that not every elderly person is by definition a dependent person. He is a man who wants to continue to grow, work, travel, meet others

Mr President, thank you very much. Dear Commissioner, I would like to start with a very simple question: Have you read the recommendations of the European Parliament regarding the housing crisis? In them, Parliament identified very concrete solutions, including for people who are now practically excluded from the housing market. There are 90 million people with disabilities in the European Union,

Mr President, thank you very much. Dear Commissioner, On Tuesday, the Commission presented a package of fair mobility, which aims to facilitate labour mobility, simplify procedures and speed up the recognition of qualifications in the Union. When there is a shortage of doctors, nurses, physiotherapists or caregivers, the consequences are primarily borne by patients. Greater mobility of workers can

Mr President, thank you very much. Today we are talking about legislation that has entered the final phase of a long-standing legislative process in the European Union for almost 10 years. It's been a very long time. In the meantime, circumstances, conditions and needs have changed. There are other challenges today than a decade ago. That is why there are reasonable doubts. And that's not just the

Madam President, I'm sorry. I would like to draw attention to one particularly important aspect of the new rules. Imagine a person with a disability who finds out after landing that their wheelchair has been damaged or has not arrived at all. It's not just an inconvenience, it's a loss of mobility, self-reliance and a sense of security. That is why these new rules are so important, because airline

Dear Mr President, Dear Commissioner, Let's be clear: The care gap is not a private problem for women. This is an economic and social problem. Millions of women in Europe are doing huge care work – unpaid, unsecured and unrecognised. And the bill comes after years: lower wages, lower pensions, higher risk of poverty and economic dependency. Therefore, the pay gap, the care gap and the pension gap

Mr President, thank you very much. Dear Commissioner, Ladies and Gentlemen, For the first time, the European Union has put forward such an ambitious anti-poverty strategy, a strategy that is no longer just about reducing the impact, but aims to eradicate poverty completely by 2050. This is an important signal, especially today, as Europe faces a security crisis, high cost of living and growing soc

Madam President, I'm sorry. Rural women's activities are crucial for the development of our local economies, agriculture and culture. Yet their potential in Europe is still not fully exploited. Why is that? Because they still face real barriers in accessing education, the internet, transport or childcare. It is these factors that often determine whether a woman can work, develop her own business a

Madam President, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, today we are talking about the housing crisis in Europe, but for many people with disabilities, the problem does not start with the price of housing. The problem starts with the fact that there is simply no housing available, as as many as 70-80% of them are not suitable for independent living for people with disabilities. And yet the lack of an av

Madam President, I'm sorry. The gender pay gap is still a reality in many European Union countries. In some of them, the pay gap reaches up to 30%. At the same time, it is fair to say that the situation in Europe is not the same everywhere. In Poland, the wage gap is one of the smaller in the Union. This shows that appropriate solutions and changes in the labour market can bring real res

Mr President, thank you very much. As a former athlete and three-time Olympic athlete, I am very happy that in the European Parliament we take up the subject of sport, but also as a mother of three children I believe that sport will defend itself, but above all we should pay attention to sport, or rather the activity and physical culture of our children from an early age. Our biggest challenge is

Dear Commissioner, Dear Mr President, Deinstitutionalization is not a theory, it's concrete. Instead of putting people in an institution, organise a supportive apartment. Instead of a children’s home, a foster family. Socialization instead of isolation. These are courageous decisions to create assisted housing, where people with disabilities can enjoy the independence of choice, at which time they

Dear President, Dear Commissioner, The implementation in the Member States of the Convention for Persons with Disabilities, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and in particular the provision of independent living through personal assistance, will result in the return of their parents and carers to the labour market. Such people want to work, but after many years of caring f

Mr President, thank you very much. Dear Commissioner, thank you very much for your report on the state of play of the implementation of demographic tools in the Member States of the European Union in 2023. It is already January 2025 and the motto of the Polish Presidency is "Security, Europe". I'm going to talk about demographics as well. The de facto support of European demography is a systemic a

Mr President, thank you very much. Ladies and Gentlemen, Friends and colleagues! The International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women is a day when we should remember, but above all, also ask for women, for girls who also experience violence in sport. Yes, in a sport that we associate every day with glory, victory, positive emotions. Sport is health, but sport is also the dark side

Mr President, thank you very much. Commissioner, thank you very much. The skills gap in the European Union is a very complex issue. Workers' skills and education systems, on the other hand, labour market expectations do not coincide at one point. This is a multifaceted problem. First, rapid technological change generates new, demanding skills that many people cannot keep up with. Secondly, in many

Dear Mr President, Dear Colleagues, Housing is also a very important topic for the inhabitants of my region. Those living in large cities, such as Krakow or Kielce, but also for residents of tourist destinations such as Zakopane or Krynica. Real estate prices are so high today that buying or even renting an apartment charges an average of 40% of the household budget per month. This is a huge expen
