Protecting and restoring marine ecosystems for sustainable and resilient fisheries - Agreement of the IGC on Marine Biodiversity of Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (High Seas Treaty) (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I am trying in a minute to dismantle the lies of the right about the action plan for the conservation of marine resources. You're lying to the fishermen! It is a distraction from the responsibilities of national governments, such as the Italian one. This plan calls on the Member States to comply with the European directives of 2020 and 1992, the Habitats Directi…

Protecting and restoring marine ecosystems for sustainable and resilient fisheries - Agreement of the IGC on Marine Biodiversity of Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (High Seas Treaty) (debate)

I would like to ask my colleague, who has been in government for months now, what she really intends to do for the fishermen. Stop telling them lies! Do you know what the Marine Framework Directive, which has to be respected since 2020, is? Do you know what the Habitats Directive, which has been in place since 1994, is? Rather, what does your government want to do with the EUR 43 million from the …

European Citizens' Initiative "Stop Finning – Stop the trade" (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the practice of finning costs the lives of over 100 million sharks every year. Every year, more and more species are threatened with extinction. Every year this cruel practice deprives our oceans of an important predator for the health of marine ecosystems. Despite the Green Deal commitments to protect the marine environment, the European Union is still responsi…

Revision of the EU Emissions Trading System (A9-0162/2022 - Peter Liese)

Madam President, the revision of the CO2 emissions trading system should have been an opportunity not to be missed. With this agreement, the electricity sector, heavy industry will emit 62 % less CO2 by 2030 than in 2005 and the allocation of revenues from the auctioning of allowances will be spent exclusively on climate investments. But industry will continue to benefit from free allowances until…

The need for European solidarity in saving lives in the Mediterranean, in particular in Italy (debate)

Adequate minimum income ensuring active inclusion (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the surreal right-wing controversy against minimum income is clear proof that the social pact no longer exists.

Question Time (Commission) - Future legislative reform of the Economic Governance Framework in times of social and economic crisis

Commissioner, the proposal does not take into account the incalculable costs of climate inaction. How much does it cost Member States to postpone from year to year the investments needed to tackle the climate crisis? How much does it cost not to invest against, for example, hydrogeological instability, the renovation of water networks? It is obvious: The costs of repairing damage rather than preve…
