International Day of Education, fighting inequalities in access to education (debate)
Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, frankly, I am glad that today we are discussing International Education Day here and - it has also been said here - it must not remain just an abstract debate. I know, Commissioner, that you are concerned about this and I think we need to find solutions in this pact for education, especially for poor areas, for rural areas, where children do not…

A new action plan to implement the European Pillar of Social Rights (debate)
Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the Social Pillar is obviously an objective of the Commission. Social cohesion within the internal market is also an objective of the Commission, but has failed. Commissioner, in my country, Romania, which you know, one in three children is in poverty. 1.2 million children are excluded - social exclusion. In order to be cohesive and, unfortunate…

European Council meeting (joint debate)
Madam President, President Costa, Commissioner, we are living in an extraordinary historical period and, as we have heard, what the Prime Minister of Canada has said, it seems that the world order is a world disorder. The European Union needs power. I have listened to you very carefully, Mr President, and, among other things, you have said that the European Union must show its citizens that it is …

Presentation of the Cybersecurity Act (debate)
Madam President, Commissioner, cyber threats are growing and we all know, I think we agree, that cyber attacks are digging into the foundation of democracy. We know well, both in my country, in Romania, and in other states, what happened to the cyber attacks. After all, I believe that those who deal with such a thing take advantage of the weakness of the European Union, of the Member States. We ha…

Tackling AI deepfakes and sexual exploitation on social media by making full use of the EU’s digital rules (debate)
Dear Madam, you contradicted yourself in your statement. On the one hand, you said yes, we need to protect ourselves from sexual exploitation and all fake news. On the other hand, you say that DSA It is a censorship. Well, we regulate here for protection. It is shameful to hear in our countries that MEPs want to free children, 5-year-old girls, 6-year-old girls, 7-year-old girls, 14-year-old girls…

The 28th Regime: a new legal framework for innovative companies (debate)
Madam President, Commissioner, Parliament is providing you with a report through which you indeed have the chance to contribute to the Single Market. We have crossed the threshold of 30 years of talking about the Single Market. The European Union has a problem with innovation, it has a problem with start-ups. So now you just have to take over this and implement, not directives, that we will have 2…

Implementation of the rule of law conditionality regime (debate)
Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, it is strange to me that there are colleagues in this House who criticise the existence of a mechanism for controlling European money. We were chosen by the citizens to defend their financial interests. How do I criticize a mechanism by which I want to control? However, we should think critically if this mechanism is applied correctly and, Commissi…

Preparation of the European Council meeting of 18-19 December 2025, in particular the need to support Ukraine, transatlantic relations and the EU’s strategic autonomy (debate)
Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, we are at the last plenary, a stocktaking plenary, and once again, President von der Leyen has left the room, she has no patience to listen to us. About what balance? He made a self-praising report, as he usually does, he started telling us how we would finance the fight and not how we would negotiate peace. We have lost a million jobs this year. W…

Thank you for your reply. The point is that you spoke about the cohesion and development policy of the regions. The concrete question now is: in future policy, do you think it is good to have the budget for the common agricultural policy combined with cohesion policy?…

Preparation of the European Council meeting of 18-19 December 2025, in particular the need to support Ukraine, transatlantic relations and the EU’s strategic autonomy (debate)
Dear colleague, you said in your speech that you want an equal development of Europe. Do you think the report by President von der Leyen, now on the year-to-year balance sheet, shows anything? Does it show any basis for what you said? I have been in Parliament since 2014. Farmers in my country, in Romania, still have different subsidies. There are still disparities, there is a fragmented market. D…

Fur farming and the placing of farmed fur products on the market (debate)
Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I would first like to congratulate those who initiated the letter, because the signatories of the letter, in fact, have responded to the citizens' request and, since I have been in the European Parliament, I have always argued, Commissioner, that we have to listen to all stakeholders, we have to listen to citizens and we have to respond to them,…

Outcome of the UN Climate Change Conference - Belém (COP30) (debate)
Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, the result you have presented here does not seem to have satisfied you either. Does it please the citizens? The objectives of climate change must be very clear and coupled with measures that can be applied. No one is challenging climate change, I think. People are dying in the heat, people are dying in the floods, but people are also …

Development of an industry for sustainable aviation and maritime fuel in Europe (debate)
Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, of course we need decarbonisation, we need a clean environment, but we also need industry, we need jobs. Commissioner, you said that 100 billion investments would be needed, and you said yourself, most of them from the private sector. I come from the private sector. Do you think that a company invests when it knows that it increases its costs 3, 4,…
