Need for an adaptation of the EU legal framework on sustainable biofuels (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, on the subject of biofuels, we have a very substantial history, with enormous discussions, often geared to deepening, sometimes geared, let us say, to limitation, to hyperregulation - it is an old habit of the European institutions - but what is certain is that today we have a clear picture of biofuels. They are a solid tool to support some of the …

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

(IT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the Hormuz crisis is generating an unexpectedly large energy storm and this energy crisis will inevitably worsen, because – rightly – the European Union has decided to confirm the reduction in supplies from Russia. Today we are still around 14% of imports from Russia but in 2027 we have foreshadowed a scenario of total leakage from those supplies. So the cr…

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

And we are also at a particularly critical time b…

The EU’s role in supporting the recent peace efforts for Gaza and a two-state solution (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the evil sown by Hamas and terrorism since 1987, well before 7 October and culminating in the 7 October attack, deserved and deserves a reaction. But that reaction cannot be a new project of annexation or occupation of the Gaza Strip, because an annexation project represents fertile ground for the rebirth of new seeds of evil.
