What Marian-Jean spoke about.

What is happening these days shows that the energy market cannot be liberalized like any other market. Energy companies wanted to make a profit now, not after the Fit for 55 package was implemented. The energy market must be regulated. Energy is not a luxury product, home heating is not a fad. It is a fundamental right. It is the duty of every European government and the EU to ensure that every ci

Mr President, this Commission proposal is extremely important because it will have a particular impact on industry, but also on society. A wrong approach in this proposal would have led to extremely negative consequences, first of all for the automotive industry, but also for the industry in general, because transport is important for everyone, and for society. I believe that the outcome of the ne

Mr President, I believe that the opinion in the Committee on Transport strikes a balance between the need to reduce emissions and the need to ensure the competitiveness of European industry, ensuring, of course, jobs and, at the same time, access to mobility for consumers. I think we need to keep this balance in mind, because both requirements, needs, are important to an absolutely equal extent. T

Mr President, Commissioner, thank you for your presentation. Yes, it is an extremely complicated and important subject. It is also a consequence of the Mobility Package voted under rather, let's say, controversial conditions in Parliament, not respecting some rules. That mobility package brought problems for the sector, because it introduced the famous provision for the return of the truck home, p

Mr President, Commissioner, both you and Minister Balaš have said that the external borders of Romania and Bulgaria are secure. Thank you also for the commitment you have made here that you will solve this problem, correct this wrong decision in the course of 2023. I've been hearing these things for a long time. I wish you every success in your discussions with the Netherlands and Austria. Until t

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the European Space Agency estimates the existence in space of approximately one million pieces of waste larger than one centimetre. This means that 2,700 functional satellites share orbits with 8,800 tons of space debris. The risk of operational satellites being destroyed by collision with drifting debris is very high. In April this year, a correct

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, technological progress in the aviation industry has been remarkable over the last 20 years. Engines reduced emissions by more than thirty percent. It is true that emissions have increased because traffic has increased, because EU citizens have travelled. And there's Schengen now, there's low-cost, that's why. Technological progress will continue in

Madam President, Commissioner, thank you for your intervention and, of course, that of the Council. The interconnection of national networks, transport, energy, digital and the integration of European networks is a strategic priority. Russia’s aggression in Ukraine has shown that better interconnection of energy and transport networks would have reduced energy and even food insecurity. In the curr

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, it is good to be ambitious in life, but you must always look at reality. The European Commission says that by 2030, 30% of the energy needed in the European Union will be produced by gas and nuclear, plus 4% of solid fuels. Energy will increase in the image of the Commission by 10%. I think it's going to increase the energy needs, it's going to inc

Madam President, Mr Vice-President, Fit for 55 has already been published and will have an extremely important impact on society, the economy, citizens, trade, international balance after adoption. The balance between two needs must be ensured, reducing emissions and ensuring economic competitiveness and thus jobs. Reducing emissions is not achieved with ambitions, it is ensured with innovation, w

Mr President, European transport is still struggling with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, is struggling to cope with the pressure of the changes demanded by it and, at the same time, has to cope with the consequences of the sanctions against Russia, which, in the fifth package, significantly target air and maritime transport. We need to act quickly to support transport, both to keep mobility

Mr President, Commissioner, mobility is a necessity, not a luxury. After all, mobility is a right. The freedom of movement of persons, goods and services in the Union cannot be implemented without mobility. Reducing emissions is also a necessity, so in the end we need to find a balance between these things that we need to apply at the same time and with efficiency. The package proposed by the Comm

Mr President, Commissioner, thank you for your presentation. It is very good that in 2020, for the first time, renewable energy exceeded energy produced from fossil fuels. But I think 2020 is not a reference year, it is a year of pandemic and anyway consumption has been somehow disrupted. At the same time, in 2021 we do not yet know where we stand with this comparison, but we do know that prices h

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I believe that the best social protection can be provided by a viable, economically strong company. I believe that companies in this industry must be supported, but not only those who fly, airlines, but also traffic services companies and airports. This is the only way out of this crisis and, at the same time, for the Commission to ensure that this

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I am glad that today we have come to vote on this regulation. I think it is very important, in my opinion, that the regulation ultimately sets out the Union's transport policy in addition, of course, to the digital and energy chapters. It is the second regulation in this regard. I want to remind you that in 2011, the Commission proposed €50 bill
