Thank you very much, Ms Bentele. So I put the request of the EPP Group to a vote by roll call. (Parliament approved the request) The agenda is changed accordingly. For tomorrow, the Greens Group has requested that the report of Ms Sippel on 'Proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EU) 2021/1232 as regards the extension of its period of application' be removed from the votes. I give the floor to Markéta Gregorová to move the request on behalf of the Greens Group.

Order of business

Thank you very much, Ms Bentele. I have received an alternative proposal from the S&D Group, which would be a statement on 'The worsening Middle East escalation in light of Israel's planned security zone in Lebanon, the recent strikes on energy infrastructure in the Gulf and the risk of imminent executions in Iran.' Mr Maniatis, do I understand correctly that you want to speak against the EPP proposal or in favour of yours? Both.

Formal sitting – Address by Nikol Pashinyan, Prime Minister of Armenia

Dear colleagues, it is an honour to welcome the Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, to the European Parliament today. Prime Minister, dear Nikol, welcome back to this House. When you last addressed us, you set your country in motion to deepen relations with the European Union. Since then, we have come a long way – from our increased cooperation through our strategic agenda to our support for Armenia's armed forces, to the European Peace Facility. And we are also going further: agreeing on plans to pave the way for visa-free travel and planning ahead to the European Political Community summit and the EU-Armenia summit in May. Our close cooperation comes at a critical time for everyone. We had the opportunity to discuss this also bilaterally. In Ukraine, the brutal Russian invasion has just entered its fifth year, and in Iran we see people calling courageously for freedom. In this moment, Europe and Armenia stand together in our efforts for peace and stability. Thank you for assisting in facilitating the evacuation of European nationals from Iran. Thank you for your commitment to peace and your leadership in finding solutions. We are also working with your country ahead of your elections later this year. We all know the unprecedented level of threat posed by disinformation and interference to democratic processes everywhere. So now, as Armenia prepares for elections, Europe is stepping up its support for Armenia's democracy and security, with a EUR 15 million package. We fully support the swift provision of EU expert assistance to counter hybrid threats, and this House is already acting together with the National Assembly to shore up democracy – with Armenia as a priority country for democracy support. Today's discussion is another step in the right direction, and we look forward to hearing how you see the path ahead for your country and for Europe. So without further ado, dear Prime Minister Pashinyan, dear Nikol, the floor is yours.

EUCO and situation in the Middle East (joint debate)

The next item is the joint debate on: – the Council and Commission statements on the preparation of the European Council meeting of 19‑20 March 2026 (2026/2590(RSP)); and. – the Council and Commission statements on the US‑Israel military operation against the Iranian regime, its consequences and the need to support the people of Iran (2026/2634(RSP)). I'd like to remind you that we continue with the format for this debate, and that there will be no fixed list of speakers. So after the first round of speakers on behalf of the groups, Members who received speaking time from their political group or the non-attached secretariat will be called to speak and will be reminded of their allotted speaking time. Please keep an eye on the screens in the Chamber, where the current speaker and the next three speakers will be displayed. The normal rules regarding blue cards and catch-the-eye procedure will apply.
