One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Madam President, Commissioner, dear colleagues, there are 27 Member States in the European Union and, although we still have borders, European citizens can choose to live, work and contribute to the development of the European Union in any of the 27 states.

Barriers to the free movement of goods (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner Adina Vălean, colleagues, we are talking about the common market, about the European economy, about the need for measures for economic recovery and growth.

Digital Markets Act (debate)

Madam President Metsola, Commissioner Vestager, Commissioner Breton! It is good that the big players in the digital market have imposed rules and tried to improve their services. But the online market needs to be officially regulated so that it respects both the safety and rights of consumers and the rights of other economic operators.

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Madam President, Madam Vice-President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, cohesion policies are one of the cornerstones of the European Union and the phrase "Leaving no one behind" must be moved from theoretical to practical.

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Mr President, in some Member States, COVID-19 deaths are increasing. It is worrying that the vaccination rate in these states is below 35%, as is the case in Romania, my country. Much of the blame for this low rate lies in alarmist news, in which people without medical training express their personal opinions as scientific postulates. Aggressive social media campaigns are creating even more confus…

Mr President, Mr Minister! In a European Union that seeks the development of all regions and the well-being of all its citizens, cross-border cooperation is a necessity. The temporary closure of borders between Member States – such as between my country, Romania, or your country, Slovenia, and Hungary or Austria – and travel bans for cross-border workers due to the pandemic have further highlighte…
