What Mario spoke about.

Mr President, Commissioner, Minister, ladies and gentlemen, Omnibus I has freed 9 out of 10 companies from unnecessary reporting obligations. An important start. Yet, according to the Council, the proposals to be negotiated today would cost businesses 1.5 billion a year in new bureaucratic costs, up to 26 billion for adjustment. They are more than all the savings promised by Omnibus and the weight

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, Prime Minister Montenegro, welcome. I would start with the next European budget. I am pleased that Portugal has also supported the initiative of Italian Prime Minister Meloni and Romanian President Dan, because, without European agricultural policy and without cohesion policy, the heart of the European project does not stand. But a budget alone

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, good morning Ireland. The Irish Presidency on competitiveness certainly affirms values that can be shared, but it is somewhat lacking, in my opinion: It never mentions micro-enterprises, yet there are 25 million European micro-enterprises, generating 20% of Europe's domestic product and having huge problems. Access to credit, first of all. Since 2011, bank lo

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I would say that the report on the application of EU law highlights an intolerable paradox: States are sanctioned for not transposing rules that the Commission itself makes inapplicable, delaying the technical acts necessary for their implementation. The cases are emblematic: Italy is in breach of the Transport Directive but the digital protocol

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, the accession of Albania and Montenegro to the Hague Convention on the Recognition of Foreign Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters is a step that we naturally welcome very much. This is a key element for judicial, civil and commercial cooperation, which will facilitate our citizens and businesses, while strengthening the European integration p

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, I would say that the 2030 Consumer Agenda is an appreciable instrument, but it has already been established on the subject of dangerous and counterfeit products. The General Product Safety Regulation did not work and the strategic failure is that it underestimated the scale, speed and evolution of trade in these products. The TikTok Shop channel

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, Prime Minister, in a few minutes this Parliament will be called upon to give its opinion on immunity to a Member accused of violent criminal acts against defenceless people who had different ideas. I hope that Parliament will take pride in defending the rights of the democratic order. Charlie Kirk was killed by people who considered their ideas

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, Mr President of the Lombardy Regional Council, friends of Monza and Brianza, strengthening democracy by defending it from foreign interference or threats is not only a necessity, but a duty towards future generations. However, they will not be the cybersecurity, the control of social networks or the cancellation of elections to make a difference

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I believe that when it comes to Africa, we need respect, responsibility and vision. We must put an end to the predatory policies of some governments and concretely address the debt issue of African nations, because strengthening Africa also means strengthening Europe and building together a common stability. These are not my words, but those of Gio

(IT) Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, enlargement of the European Union is a process of great strategic importance, which must be tackled realistically and rigorously, especially in the light of the growing economic and geopolitical challenges. The entry of new Member States undoubtedly entails opportunities to promote and consolidate the values of democracy and freedom inherent i

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, private investment in innovation reached USD 370 billion in 2024 and will reach USD 1.5 trillion by 2030. But most of these capitals have been invested in America and Asia, not Europe. Here too much bureaucracy, too many taxes, too many costs: There is no real European innovation policy. Instead, we need to make Europe a hub global investment in in

Mr President, Commissioner Tzitzikostas, ladies and gentlemen, friends of Varese, efficient and fast trans-European transport infrastructure, such as the corridors between Italy and Scandinavia, the Baltic corridor to the Adriatic, Genoa-Rotterdam and the Mediterranean corridor, are vital arteries for relaunching European growth at a time when we need to review our priorities. We need to accelerat

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the Commission's work programme for 2025 introduces significant elements of discontinuity with the past. It incorporates many political demands that Fratelli d'Italia has fought in recent years: competitiveness, innovation, simplification of the European Union – I would remind you that in the past five years you have launched 13 500 different me

It was necessary to provide, even with special laws, to be able to stop, in the face of some events that took place in the sea, in particular in Italy, special laws were made to give the necessary punishment to these organizations.

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, 'On this journey, no one cares whether you live or die': This is the title of the UN report on migratory routes. Finally, the UN also recognises that illegal immigration has its roots in organised crime: Two sides of the same phenomenon. We finally recognize that facilitating illegal landings, allowing some NGOs to act as smugglers' sea taxis, h

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I would say that the results of the Green Deal are there for all to see: deindustrialization, production collapse, dependence on supply, rising costs and more bureaucracy for businesses. We can say with certainty that it was a planned Soviet-style policy, which undermined European competitiveness. Energy to businesses in Europe costs three times as

(IT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, there is one emblematic case of children recruited by crime and it concerns unaccompanied foreign children in particular. These are over 50,000 young people, mainly from North Africa, who in the last two years are easy prey to organized crime. So far, the European Union has failed on this issue. It has been absent, putting the problem on the national states

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, 10 October is World Health Day, a great human challenge. There are two main trends in the spread of these diseases: endemic uncertainty and disorientation in international relations, due above all to the loneliness of man without more bridges to the community. We are not talking only about serious disorders, but about anxiety, phobias, depressions,

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, all of us here in this House are saying that this law is uncivilised, that it is the offspring of a barbaric culture that deprives women of dignity and humanity. And we are rightly condemning it. But telling us is no longer enough: We need an immediate change of European policies towards the Taliban regime. I submitted, together with the delegation of Fratelli d
