What Roberts spoke about.

What is happening at the European Union's border with Belarus today is the launch of hybrid warfare. This situation is undoubtedly provoking a crisis and exploiting migrants for political purposes. The external border of the European Union must be protected, including against hybrid attacks perpetrated by Belarus. I also call on my fellow Members to take firm action to realise the goals we have sp

The next item is the debate on the Council and Commission statements on a circular economy act that strengthens Europe's strategic autonomy, boosts competitiveness and reduces the cost of living for European citizens (2026/2932(RSP)).

The debate is closed. The vote will take place tomorrow.

Just a small remark on what you said about my chairmanship. I am not doing any censorship. You didn't get it before the vote, when I was chairing, because I announced the principles. We had time constraints and it was nothing against you personally.

Ms Maij, you have a blue card from João Oliveira. But João Oliveira, you are also on catch-the-eye. So you already asked one blue card. We are not very far behind schedule, but you have to choose which one you want: one more blue card or catch-the eye. We also did this exercise before the votes.

The debate is closed.

Mr Terheş, you have to do it according to the Rules – orally, not using any kind of items. So just a reminder to you.

Please, next time you use some comparisons with those persons who gave a crime in Nuremberg – so that's why. You cannot make this comparison.

Mr Van Overtveldt, you have two blue cards. But I would like to say that those who ask a blue card already have a catch-the-eye registration. But we cannot do both because of time constraints. The same to Ms Ceulemans. Would you like to stay on catch-the-eye or blue card?

Thank you, colleague, but words like 'mass deportations' are not approved here. We will do it according to the Rules. The European Union is not doing mass deportations.

The next item is the debate on the Commission communication on drug trafficking in European waters: protecting our borders and supporting law enforcement officers (2026/2797(RSP)). I would like to remind the speakers that, in view of the test regime measures currently in force and the fixed end time for the debate, speaking time will have to be strictly respected, including for all speakers, not j

The debate is closed.

In our new procedure, we have to ask also Commissioners to stick to time. Please conclude.

That concludes the item.

That is very interesting but we cannot have an academic debate. Please.

The next item is the screening session. Communication from the Commission - Presentation of the Action Plan on Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence (2026/2795(RSP)). I would like to remind the speakers that, in view of the test regime measures currently in force and the timing of the end of the debate, speaking time will have to be strictly adhered to.

The minutes and the texts adopted of yesterday's sitting are available. Are there any comments? No comments. The minutes are approved.

The next item is the debate on seven motions for resolutions on political prisoners in Nicaragua: the cases of Carlos Brenes, Salvador del Socorro Martínez Aburto and Brooklyn Rivera (2026/2765(RSP)).

Thank you very much, Minister. And as I've been informed that this is the last time that the Cyprus Presidency is speaking on behalf of the Council, I would like to thank you very much for your work. Colleagues, we are in a good shape. According the new rules, we have to start the next point in agenda at 17:45. So we have a short suspension. The debate on this point in agenda is closed. We have a

The next vote concerns the need to reduce work-related deaths (see point 8.10 of the minutes).

The next vote concerns the path to a care society: how to close the gender care gap (see point 8.9 of the Minutes).

The next vote concerns the multi-annual plan for the Baltic Sea and the way forward (see point 8.8 of the minutes).
