Rising energy prices and market manipulation on the gas market (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the rise in the price of energy has obviously put a strain on the resilience of our economic system, but the great countries of the European Union must make a serious mea culpa. We have 185 billion cubic meters of Russian gas in our energy package, obviously something, some calculation we did wrong. The European Commission's proposal touches on some of the most …

EU-Russia relations, European security and Russia’s military threat against Ukraine (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the good news is the partial withdrawal of the Russian armed forces from the Ukrainian border. But this news is accompanied, indeed preceded, by statements by Ukrainian President Zelensky and German Chancellor Scholz, in the previous days, which do not leave peace, because in those statements Zelensky declares that Ukrainian entry into NATO is only a dream an…

EU response to the transport poverty (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the transition we have been working on for a long time can be unfair, that is, it can generate social costs greater than the value it produces. We must prevent this contradiction from happening. How can this be avoided? We have found that there are attempts by the Commission, appreciable, for example, to set up a social climate fund to offset the i…

State of the Energy Union (debate)

(IT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the data that the Commissioner has provided are data that tell us, on the one hand, of an important victory, namely the significant increase in electricity produced from renewable sources, a 38% that, for the first time, produces a greater result than fossil fuels, at 37%. But there is another fact that we cannot forget, the fact of dependence on energy pro…

The outcome of the EU-US Trade and Technology Council (TTC) (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, we have an enthusiastic narrative, legitimately enthusiastic, in the comment we make in the light of the agreement underlying the establishment of this Trade and Technology Council between the United States and Europe. Enthusiasm is legitimate, the political subjectivity of the European Union consists in belonging to the Atlantic axis with the Unit…

European solutions to the rise of energy prices for businesses and consumers: the role of energy efficiency and renewable energy and the need to tackle energy poverty (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, we are witnessing a new impetus for the European economy after the COVID blockade. This momentum has produced a massive increase in energy demand. Alongside this massive increase in demand, we have, unfortunately, a rigid reaction on the part of the European Union. Demand is increasing and supply is tightening, because energy solutions are limited to certain …

The future of EU-US relations (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we have two points of observation to analyse what is happening in relations between Europe and the United States. The first is commercial. Eurostat tells us that, for the first time in 2020, relations with China are superior to relations with the United States, but with one difference: Europe exports much more to the United States than it exports to China. So it…

Situation in Afghanistan (debate)

Madam President, Mr High Representative, ladies and gentlemen, twenty years ago we rightly decided to intervene on the basis of Article 5 of the NATO Treaty in support of the United States attacked at home. After twenty years, this collegiate decision to start was interrupted on the basis of a de facto assessment of the United States that was little more than unilateral. What has happened in these…

Sustained price increase of raw and construction materials in Europe (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, we have, on the subject we are debating this morning, the possibility of dividing the debate into two major chapters, as I see it. On the one hand, critical raw materials, necessary for the digital transition and green, such as rare earths, cobalt, lithium, on which there is a focus formulated by the European Commission in its industrial strateg…

Connecting Europe Facility - Streamlining measures for the realisation of the TEN-T - Railway safety and signalling: Assessing the state of play of the ERTMS deployment (debate)

(IT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, we have finally concluded and happily concluded the negotiations on the Connecting Europe Facility, so we have EUR 33 billion available, of which almost EUR 26 billion for transport, and what is more important is that we will be able to co-finance up to 55 % of the Member States' investments. But physical infrastructure is not enough, we also …
