LT Question

Establishing the Ukraine Loan Cooperation Mechanism and providing exceptional macro-financial assistance to Ukraine (debate)

Watch

Mr President, I will ask you in Lithuanian. You said you were in Moscow and saw a blossoming Russia. So the question is, were you in Putin's villa and there you saw that blooming Russia? Do you really know where you were?…

World Mental Health Day - need for a comprehensive EU strategy on mental health (debate)

Watch

Mr President, dear Vice-President of the Commission Margaritis, back in 2023 the Commission presented a comprehensive approach on mental health, aiming to address mental health holistically. It falls short of providing solutions to adequately address structural issues on the ground, and mental health strategy should also carry a very important point: mental health problems of health professionals.…

LT Speech

The rise of religious intolerance in Europe (continuation of debate)

Watch

Mr President, Mr Vice-President of the Commission, my colleague Margariti. Excellent, excellent presentation, well-discussed topics and great suggestions. A fortiori, this Chamber must respect the Treaty of Lisbon, which makes it very clear that the European Union is founded on all values: Humanism, democracy and the values of all religious cultures, from Christianity to Judaism, from Islam to pag…

EN Speech

Urgent need to revise the Medical Devices Regulation (debate)

Watch

Mr President, dear Vera, colleagues, as a former Commissioner, in the time of my mandate, I was fully involved in the creation of new laws: the Medical Device Regulation and the In-Vitro Medical Device Regulation. These regulations aim to create a robust, transparent and sustainable regulatory framework that is recognised internationally and that improves clinical safety for patients and creates f…

LT Speech

Prevention of drug-related crimes, their effect on European citizens and the need for an effective European response (debate)

Watch

Dear Chair of the meeting. Thank you, dear colleague, Commissioner Margarita. Thank you very much for presenting a truly comprehensive and comprehensive programme. And those who believe that there is only one cure in this difficult struggle are grossly mistaken. Similarly, those who often use the word fight. The drug strategy from 1946 to 2014 was a fiasco, recognised by the United Nations' comple…

LT Speech

Outcome of the Summit of the Future: transforming global governance for building peace, promoting human rights and achieving the sustainable development goals (debate)

Watch

Dear President! I really want to welcome this United Nations agreement and congratulate both the Commission, the President of the European Parliament and the European Parliament delegation. I am fully aware of the unspeakably difficult, tense work that has been done between many delegations to get the document signed. There are times when goals are not achieved. And now we have a document that pro…

LT Speech

The democratic backsliding and threats to political pluralism in Georgia (debate)

Watch

Mr President, Mrs Vera Jourova, Vice-President of the Commission. Congratulations to you. I do support the resolution, but I am a little different, because the European Union must show its enormous strength and influence. All the more so because in the Eastern Neighbourhood Policy we could have had a much greater influence on the democratic development of Georgian society for a long time. Everyone…

LT Speech

The historic CJEU ruling on the Apple state aid case and its consequences (debate)

Watch

Mr President, first of all, dear colleague Stella Kyriakides, convey your warmest congratulations to Margrethe Vestager. All of you and we, in the past, have achieved a great victory in the Commission! It is important to note that this is only the beginning. Continue the fight against tax avoidance, tax laundering, aggressive tax planning and the exploitation of enormous lobbying influences to per…

EN Speech

The severe situation of political prisoners in Belarus

Watch

Madam President, honourable Commissioner, colleagues, friends, I will continue in my mother tongue because I think we need to use, for our neighbouring country, our own language – Lithuanian – because Lithuania is a neighbouring country with Belarus. Mr President, dear colleagues, this is not the first time that the European Parliament has debated political prisoners in Belarus. And it must be sta…

EN Speech

EU response to the Mpox outbreak and the need for continuous action (debate)

Watch

Mr President, dear Commissioner Stella Kyriakides, thank you for being here. Dear colleagues, the upsurge of Mpox cases in a growing number of countries in Africa constitutes a public health emergency of continental concern. The current upsurge of Mpox in parts of Africa is an emergency not only for Africa but for the entire globe. The multi-country outbreak of Mpox is spreading rapidly via sexual…

LT Speech

Continued financial and military support to Ukraine by EU Member States (debate)

Watch

Mr President, dear colleagues. Indeed, an attempt to freeze the conflict is disastrous for the European Union. And that formula – to support as much as needed – is not ambitious enough. Support should be provided as effectively, as much as possible, as quickly as possible and as coordinated as possible. That is why an increase in the percentage of financial support from all the countries of the Eu…

LT Speech

Persistent problems of anti-Semitism in Europe and of other forms of hate speech and hate crimes (debate)

Watch

Mr President, honourable Commissioner, colleagues, we are indeed talking about an extremely difficult subject. Anti-Semitism has a tradition in Europe for thousands of years and, worst of all, it manifests itself in the most terrible Nazi bestialism. The Holocaust is an incomparable crime with no one, because it touches the foundations of human existence. Anti-Semitism is what is happening in Pale…

LT Speech

Need to prevent security threats like the Solingen attack through addressing illegal migration and effective return (debate)

Watch

Mr President, honourable Commissioner, colleagues, when you listen here to very ultra-patriotic speeches, you sometimes feel that this ultra-patriotism seems to be the last refuge for scoundrels. There is such a phrase, and it must be said that these speeches increase the fire of hatred, not anything else, but even more. In solidarity with the victims, the victims of Solingen, I want to tell those…
