What Pascal spoke about.

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, we must always base our policies and analyses on facts. The facts are simple. According to the OECD, 60% of the market share gained by Chinese companies is due to government oversubsidies. According to the IMF and the ECB, 15% undervaluation of the currency leads to Chinese overcompetitiveness that manipulates its exchange rate. And there are ot

Mr President, colleagues, thank you for the very wide support, and I am asking for the referral back to the committee for the start of negotiations with the other institutions, according to Rule 60(4).

Sir, your political group and all the far-right political groups voted against the law on nature restoration, which precisely allows wetlands to limit the impacts of climate change on water stress or forest fires. You voted against the very principle that there is a European climate law that respects the Paris Agreement. You voted absolutely against all the texts on industry, on cars, on everythin

Madam President, I would like to say to the far-right Members of this Chamber that they bear a very heavy share of responsibility in the current situation. You voted against all texts - all texts! – which allow us to reduce the worst effects of climate change. You voted against the very principle that there is a European climate policy to reduce emissions, and therefore to reduce the climate shock

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, today we have the opportunity to give our farmers new tools and the Renew Group supports these new tools, as we have supported nature-based solutions. Because unlike others here, we do not oppose ecological solutions and technological solutions. Because, in fact, farmers need both. The reality is that we need to give them all the tools they can to fight climate

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, last year, for the first time, all European countries recorded a trade deficit with China, even Germany. For the first time last year, we imported more Chinese cars, more Chinese machine tools than we exported European cars and European and especially German machine tools. This means that no European economy, including Germany, is immune to the Chi

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, what poses a competitiveness problem for our businesses is not the price of carbon: It is the price of energy, the price of gas and the price of oil. And when I hear the representative of the Meloni government here in the European Parliament criticising the ETS system, when, if Italy is in a very important difficulty in terms of its industrial f

Madam President, Commissioner, today we are still faced with extreme right-wing rhetoric which tends to suggest that all the problems in the car industry are linked to the 2035 rule. However, the reality is that Chinese competition is completely shifting employment in our territories. OEMs are losing jobs in our territories: It has nothing to do with electrification, but everything to do with Chin

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, for the second time this month, and in a completely new way in the history of our Parliament, far-right groups are calling for a secret vote, this time on the climate law. I do not know, Mr Bardella, what you have to hide, but probably something. I do not know, Mr Procaccini, what you are afraid of – probably something. We will not allow ourselves to be done.

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, a compromise is a compromise. Obviously, it is always too left for some, always too right for others. But a compromise is better than the spirit of extremism and the spirit of polarization. And so we in the Renew Group will value and support this compromise, no matter how imperfect, like any compromise. For it is out of the question to leave hands to the extr

Madam President, Commissioner, on behalf of the French delegation from the Renew Group, I wanted to say how much we support the European Commission's action plan for the automotive industry today, in all its dimensions. The first dimension is demand side support. As you said, a lot of public money and private capital has been invested in supply; We must now absolutely support the demand. The secon

Mr Executive Vice-President of the Commission, ladies and gentlemen, the Renew Group strongly supports your Clean Industry Pact. Why? By supporting demand for decarbonised goods, it puts an additional 100 billion on the table, supports industry made in Europe and provides funding for innovation. I would also like to say that you have put your finger on something that is key, and that is very impor

Mr President, I would like to address the EPP representatives in front of me today to say that you have the choice today to go fast, with us, in this simplification process without falling into the excesses we have just heard from the right-wing and far-right groups. You have a choice, and we, Renew, are ready to move very quickly, on the basis of the Commission's proposals. We can discuss the det

Mr President, Mr Vice-President of the Commission, we welcome the European Commission's compass for competitiveness because it does not oppose, on the one hand, competitiveness and, on the other hand, the Green Deal and decarbonisation, but, on the contrary, it deals with both at the same time. Beyond all the ideological battles that sometimes animate us, if there is one figure that we should all

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, I would like to say to all the far-right colleagues who are hitting on our climate action day after day, on the one hand, that it will cost us a lot, a lot, a lot more tomorrow, if we do not act today. All studies show this. Look at them, please, rather than saying absolutely anything in this Chamber. On the other hand, we Europeans bought, spent,

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, thank you. Mr Procaccini, you have proposed to us a debate based on facts, and I welcome this debate based on facts. You know that last year, Europe, all of us, all businesses, all households, all European families, we bought €400 billion worth of oil and gas abroad. Meanwhile, the US exported $150 billion worth of oil and gas in a single year. That is almost 60

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased, as are others, that we seem to have a consensus to introduce more tax justice in the world. We managed to do it for companies; there is no reason why we should not be able to do this for individuals. This process takes place at G20 level and must be strongly supported by the European Union. I am delighted that this Parliament seems to

Madam member, I come from a region, the Hauts-de-France, where there are many members of the Rassemblement national. In Dunkirk alone, 40,000 jobs will be created. In this city alone, 40,000 jobs, thanks to the decarbonization of our automobile and industry, and the development of nuclear and renewable energies. That is the Green Deal. Go and tell the 40,000 employees in Dunkirk that you, in fact,

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, today's debate is entitled 'The automotive industry in crisis'. I recall that European manufacturers – and this is all the better – made historic profits in 2023, and I recall that almost all of them made significant profits in the first half of 2024. Again, so much the better. Nevertheless, let us not confuse financial realities, which are obje

Mr President, Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, if there is one word I want to take away from the outcome of this strategic dialogue, it is the word 'hope'. After months of agricultural crisis, after weeks and months of demonstrations and polarizations, tensions, conflicts, there was the result of this strategic dialogue with trade unions, non-governmental organizations, compani
