Cutting red tape and simplifying business in the EU: the first Omnibus proposals (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. It is great that once again, over the course of six months, we are debating here, as every month, the plans for deregulation and simplification of the European Union. It is, of course, good that the Commission finally realises how far it has gone in its ideas. If it's going to do something, it's better to do it, not with paper straws or fixing bottle caps.

EU financing through the LIFE programme of entities lobbying EU institutions and the need for transparency (debate)

Of course I can reply, Honourable Member. There has never been any scientific data. And when it comes to, for example, Fit for 55It was an auction here in this room. And why 55? 60, 70, 45?
