Artificial Intelligence Act (debate)

Thank you very much, Mr. Colleague. For an explanation: I have given more speaking time to the speakers of the political groups, indeed, after Commissioner Breton has clearly exaggerated, and I have announced that I will do so. But I have also announced that we are lagging behind in time. We have five minutes for the spontaneous interventions and it is up to the President to decide who to give the floor to. We have had a number of colleagues who have asked for the floor and I can understand your dissatisfaction. I know you've been there all along, so have the other colleagues. We have heard five speakers speaking spontaneously in the five minutes set aside for this item on the agenda. Now Commissioner Breton has the floor for two minutes.

Please note: We are now closing the Catch the Eye. We have far too many interventions under Catch the Eye, so we will have to make a choice, and I will now also become stricter, because we are lagging behind in time.

Council and Commission statements - Preparation of the European Council meeting of 21 and 22 March 2024 (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, We are at a turning point in history. We are at a turning point in history, because at the moment the question is whether the Member States of this European Union have understood the seriousness of the situation. We are at a turning point in history because the question now arises as to whether we can make the Member States of the European Union leap over their shadows. I believe that we in Parliament are very, very quickly in agreement that we need to take the next steps urgently now, because we have been discussing this for so long, ladies and gentlemen! Common development in the field of defence policy, common procurement – of course these are the steps we need to take. But I call on the Member States to: Stop talking about what can't be done! Start talking about what you want to do! Because that is what is driving the European Union forward now. We have arrived at a new time, a new time where we have a threat from the outside; At a time when we, as Europeans, need to be even closer together, especially in the field of defence. Let's finally live the turn of the century!

Driving licences (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen. Rarely has a proposal for a report from the European Parliament caused so much excitement, dear colleague Delli from the Greens. Night driving bans for novice drivers, abolition of accompanied driving – all this is no longer in the position of the Committee on Transport and Tourism. That's a good thing! The most controversial point is the mandatory health tests for everyone. Personally, I believe that for us Free Democrats this is a false security that is to be introduced here. If you have a driver's license at 18, then you have a test at 33, with 48, with 63 and with 78 and then again with 93. Ladies and gentlemen, do we really believe that this will improve security? No, we do not, but we ensure that millions of additional doctor's appointments take place and that additional bureaucracy is set in motion. We believe that the current systems in place in the Member States are just the right thing to do. This is decided on the ground, it works in the Member States, and I believe that there is no reason to introduce an obligation for everyone, especially because certain diseases already exist today.
