Urgent measures to strengthen the competitiveness and safeguard quality jobs in the EU’s automotive sector (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I do not want to repeat what my fellow Members have already said here. The challenges we face are enormous and it will take years, decades, to make up for wasted time, increase people's purchasing power, strengthen the competitiveness of the European car and protect workers. We can, however, immediately take small measures, with great effects: a technically s…

Reviewing the ETS system to support European competitiveness (topical debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, it is a pleasure today to remind sovereignists that decarbonising is not just about climate, but about autonomy, resilience and security. Even a child understands this: less fossil fuels, more efficiency and less reliance on debt traps, budgetary bottlenecks and tight and dangerous passages. Just like Hormuz. Today, does Europe trapped by carbon dependency re…

EU strategy in response to the ongoing Middle East crisis, its implications on energy prices and the availability of fertilizers (joint debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the situation we are experiencing today is not new: we have already seen diesel in 2022 at over EUR 2 per litre and the price of electricity triple, fertilisers increase in price. We already knew the solutions back then: renewables, energy efficiency, storage, electric mobility, sustainable agriculture. But since then many, even here, have hindered this industri…

Energy security, independence and supply in the geopolitical context - ensuring market stability and affordable energy for industry and citizens (debate)

This had to be communicated to the citizens in 2019: that Europe, poor in hydrocarbons and uranium, had to quickly equip itself to maintain political and economic…

Europe’s automotive future – reversing the ban on the sale of combustion cars in the EU (topical debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we import 2 million tonnes of fossil fuels every day. Every time a tank is emptied, we must attach ourselves to the barrel of an oil pipeline or a tanker, like needy breastfeeders to the bottle. It is also known that among the first objectives of a conflict we find refineries and oil pipelines. Do you think that no one would be tempted to hit a pipe, an oil tank…
