Preparation for the 2025 EU–China Summit - Tackling China's critical raw materials export restrictions

Madam President, China today represents one sixth of humanity, occupies a seat on the United Nations Security Council, has 30% of the world's industrial production and has gone from being the main trading partner of ten countries in the world in 2000 to 120 today. It is an undeniable, gigantic, complex reality and, without a doubt, learning to deal with it is one of the greatest geopolitical and economic challenges that Europe has, because our interests are at stake. What do I expect us to do at the Summit? Being able to rebalance our economic relations – and obviously also talk about rare earths –, revitalising multilateralism in crisis, avoiding the logic of blocs in the world, addressing the green agenda, ensuring open trade and rules-based international relations and talking about Ukraine, which is at the heart of our strategic interests, and China has to understand this. We must act as a mature, demanding and constructive power and, above all, we do not have to choose between confrontation and naivety, we can choose strategic firmness and dialogue with principles. That is what I want for China from the European Union.

Assassination attempt on Senator Miguel Uribe and the threat to the democratic process and peace in Colombia (debate)

Mr President, Madam High Representative, first of all, as my colleagues have done here today, I express our strongest condemnation of the assassination attempt on Miguel Uribe Turbay and our utmost solidarity, not only with him at this critical time, but also with his family, with the country and with the authorities of the country. Political violence destroys everything: democracy, institutions, coexistence, coexistence. And in Colombia this assassination attempt is different from other places we have just seen - for example, in the United States, which has been mentioned before - because it reopens wounds and scars in a country that, for decades, has lived through political violence. That is why the moment is so important and so serious. It is a time to help the government, at a serious time for the country. It is not a time to instrumentalize an assassination attempt to hit the government, but to help the government because it needs help. It is a time of broad consensus, of de-escalation and polarization. It is the moment of civil society, dialogue and pluralism. And, above all, it is also the moment of institutionality, respect for the rule of law and the electoral path and the election observation mission that the European Union can safely deploy that helps along this path.
