What Ondřej spoke about.

Mr President, Commissioner, we need Europe to be self-sufficient in the development and production of medicines and active substances. We lag behind America and Asia, and we depend on these locations. It is therefore essential that the production and development of medicines for Europe take place primarily in Europe. Please prepare appropriate programmes to channel funding towards strengthening pharmaceutical capacities in Europe. I would like to ask you to do this with one specific task: to develop new antibiotics for Europe. Recognize that the lack of medicines or the low effectiveness of antibiotics can have fatal consequences for the population. That is why investing in the development and production of medicines is the most important priority in Europe. In addition to better access to medicines, they will of course also provide us with sufficient skilled jobs.

Madam President, Madam Commissioner, Minister Bek many thanks for your inspiring speeches. However, there are four elements that I have been missing. So first, introduce a cap on the price of the allowances, ideally below EUR 40. Secondly, for the gas imported to Europe, try to distinguish between the LNG and the pipeline gas in order to reduce the risk that the ships will sail somewhere outside Europe and it could cause the reverse effect. Third, put forward a kind of a package for energy-intensive industries and also for industries using natural gas as an input commodity for production, for example, a chemical industry or a fertilizer industry. And of course, I am not talking only about SMEs. And the fourth point, I will manage it in five seconds. You mentioned a lot on renewables and energy efficiency. Great idea, but in the long term, also, please open your heart to the nuclear and the fusion, which is having enormous progress in the past times.

Madam President, I would like to also drop a few words on the Social Climate Fund, as the Renew Europe shadow rapporteur. This week we are going to vote the Parliament position on this fund, and I am proud to say that this fund has been one of the political priorities of the Renew Europe Group. The EU has quite steep green ambitions and this bears a risk of a negative social impact and therefore it is very logical and we welcome the existence of such tools, such as the Social Climate Fund, simply to balance this risk and provide help to the most vulnerable groups of citizens and micro-entrepreneurs and businesses. To the design of the fund, we also welcome and we are pleased that through this fund we can support not only sustainable investments but also to a certain extent the direct income. Member States then have a possibility to address their local situations through their climate plans to simply address specifically what they need. Thank you very much once again and I believe that we will have a positive vote and we will enter into the next phase, which is the negotiation with the Council.

Madam President, Commissioner, Minister, I certainly welcome the European Commission's measures to reduce the impact of high energy prices and the measures that result precisely from the war in Ukraine. And yes, we are building even more renewables, and yes, let's focus on energy efficiency, but please, not across the board with that energy efficiency. It is precisely because of the war in Ukraine that some Member States will have to adjust their decarbonisation pathways and will simply not be able to afford to increase energy efficiency as much. So instead of blanket, binding targets for energy efficiency, let's focus on supporting those states that can actually increase that efficiency, and give them some incentives. Furthermore, please pay attention to the fact that reducing imports of energy commodities from Russia will delay the departure from coal. This will necessitate an amendment to the legislation in force and under discussion. Please focus on this and make proposals so that coal sources are not discriminated against during their essential operation.

Madam President, more than 3 million people in Europe fall ill with cancer every year and 1 million people, including 2,000 young people, die. These numbers show the severity of the disease and how crucial it is to tackle cancer together. Prevention, early diagnosis and access to quality care can save lives. That is why we need to build Europe's top cancer centres working together across Europe, ensure preventive screening to avoid unnecessary losses and, where possible, provide free vaccinations, such as for cervical cancer. In addition to common types of cancer, we will also focus more on rare types of cancer in the future. And in what way? For example, by developing transformational therapies that can cure these rare types of cancer. Allow me to thank all those involved in the preparation of the report on the fight against cancer. Oh, thank you.

Madam President, I am very proud that within the TRANSFORM MEP Interest Group, we help to promote the enormous potential of transformative therapies for rare disease patients. One of the key challenges today is lack of data. Methods based on the collection and use of real world data represents a possible solution. Therefore, the European Health Data Space shall enable usage of real world data in the lifetime management of transformative therapies. Furthermore, cross-border patient data exchange and adequate funding for a European reference network are crucially important. Madam Commissioner, let me invite you to propose an EU Rare Disease Action Plan based also on the recommendations of the Rare 2030 foresight study. This is very important, because this concerns some 30 million EU patients who are waiting for us to take action.

Madam President, high energy costs are a risk to citizens and businesses and the key factor is the price of the allowances. It is unpredictable and it has grown too high. Therefore, it is time to introduce a maximal predictable price and also to limit the trading with the allowances only to businesses among the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), with no more speculations and no more investment funds etc. Another factor in how to stabilise the cost of energy is also to respect technology neutrality. It is not possible to reach the EU climate goals only through renewables. Other planet—friendly solutions, such as nuclear or low—carbon gases, simply must be put on an equal footing in a delegated framework of the sustainable finance or within the state aid rules. Failing to do so would not only further increase the cost of energy, but would also question the meaningfulness of the European climate measures.
