Before giving the floor to Commissioner Dalli, first of all, Commissioner, let me thank you greatly for five years of service for Europe, because this is the last time you are speaking in Parliament. We really appreciate everything you have done. I wish you good luck on your future journeys and hopefully you have a relaxing break after all this!

Rise of energy prices and fighting energy poverty (debate)

I will also answer you with similar data that if, for example, the X rating says, if we stopped putting obstacles properly, we did not have to invest publicly (incomprehensible part), stop putting obstacles to the development of green energy and storage, so the price will go down rapidly. What we need to do is not massive subsidies for wealthy companies. Developing infrastructure for all and supporting the more vulnerable. That's the solution.

Rise of energy prices and fighting energy poverty (debate)

Madam President, in 2022, more than 41 million Europeans could not afford to keep their homes warm enough. And I must say with sadness and anger that Slovakia is one of the few European countries where the situation has been deteriorating for a long time. Energy poverty is not new. This is a reality that has been overlooked for many years. The main cause is a combination of low incomes, high energy prices and low energy efficiency in buildings. For a very long time, fossil gas was presented as a solution. Yes, the one from Putin. This is part of the problem, as we know. The real solutions come by themselves. Building renovation not only reduces energy bills, but also creates new jobs, reduces our dependence on imported fossil fuels and protects the climate and air. Why are we doing so little for her? We have billions of euros of EU funds, emission permits, as well as bank financing opportunities supported by a taxonomy of sustainable investments. Instead, we see massive subsidies for fossil fuels, which only exacerbates the problem. Unaddressed aid that wastes public resources to help the rich who do not need it. The most vulnerable are still in the winter.

Presentation by the President-elect of the Commission of the College of Commissioners and its programme (debate)

Dear Madam President, dear College-designates, the new Commission steps in in a time of great challenge. We need the green transition to ensure that our planet remains inhabitable. We need socially just solutions which lead to prosperity while building a resilient and competitive Union on the global stage. These are no small talks, and the eyes of Europeans are on you to deliver. At the same time, we must ensure that the Union remains safe and secure, standing strong against those who threaten our values or seek to divide us. We all want peace. Peace – not to surrender to the aggressor, not to surrender our freedoms and liberties. And finally, and above all, you have a responsibility to protect liberal democracy. To protect and enforce the rule of law, protect strong civil society, protect independent media, not to appease or compromise with those who threaten them, because we can lose our democracy in a moment. Dear College, the work ahead is massive. We are ready to work with you, but also control you and hold you accountable for the delivery of your commitments.

Resumption of the sitting

Let me inform you that the plenary Chamber is a place for the oral exchange of views and expressions of opinion. The display of banners is, indeed, not allowed by the Rules of Procedure, and there has been a Court ruling on that as well regarding the flags. Members who are displaying visual and political symbols have been asked to take them off before speaking.
