What Jacek spoke about.

Mr President, saying that enlargement necessitates EU centralisation via treaty change is a blatant lie. Such claim is factually wrong and biased, both politically and ideologically. Enlargement is just a false pretext to build, as planned, a European superstate to replace the European Union of today. The ultimate proof of it is that planned reform proposes to preserve, not to eliminate, the veto

Mr President, both reports on the implementation of the Treaty provisions, respectively, on national parliaments and on EU citizenship being discussed today, are a perfect example of how the European centralist mainstream is trying to take over the Member States’ competences and transfer them to the European level. The report on national parliaments puts forward excessive and detrimental proposals

Mr President, I am a former co-rapporteur, the sixth one who left in protest against the breaking of the principle of consensus of co-rapporteurs. Europa was once abducted by Zeus, as in Greek mythology. Now, it is a second attempt to hijack Europe. Massive transfer of nine cardinal competencies to European level and few competencies left for Member States. Nearly complete liquidation of unanimity

Mr Freund, massive illegal migrants come to Europe on the board of eight German ships in the Mediterranean, paid from the German budget. Would you better not comment on that instead of lying about massive Polish visas? There are 268 wrong visits, and there are massive hundreds of thousands, if not millions, brought back brought to Europe on German ships and with German money. Please respond.

Mr President, the ECR Group welcomes the European Council’s draft decision establishing the composition of the European Parliament without proposals to establish transnational lists, which are eliminated. This is a reasonable approach that respects the Treaties, and thank you Presidency of the Council. Let me remind you that proposing introductions of transnational lists violates the provisions of

Madam President, for Ukraine, a decisive moment approaches, with a new Russian offensive coming. Ukraine needs boost, not cold shower and nice words. Ukraine is not getting enough and quickly enough. There is no reason for EU being so self—satisfied and self—congratulatory, Mr Commissioner, for what it does for Ukraine because it does things below the needs of Ukraine, below EU capacity. On weapon

Mr President you just abused your right as Chair of the meeting.

Mr President, dear colleagues, many want to abolish the veto to make things easier, not really better. Democracy should be fair and honest, not easy – and easy for whom? Democracy is difficult. Autocracy is easy. It should remain the basic right of Member States, as it is the last rampart of defence for the small, weak and vulnerable against the strong, big and bullish. It is rooted in the traditi

Mr President, Russia’s war against Ukraine has started in 2014 and some woke up to it only this year. While we in central-eastern Europe were screaming about the growing danger of Russia’s imperial appetite, others in the EU were supporting Russia with generous military and energy contracts. It was a fatal mistake, with heavy repercussions and losses. Today, many recognise Poland, the Baltics and

Madam President, this report contains a number of good proposals, but it also contains a number of far-reaching proposals which aim at drastically and illegitimately capturing the political and democratic sphere of Member States under the pretence of so-called Europeanisation, in a way which is against the subsidiarity and proportionality principles enshrined in the Treaties. Let me give you just
