Working conditions of teachers in the EU (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, there is no doubt that we all recognise the importance of education for the future and for the cohesion of societies. However, there are serious shortcomings across Europe. Ο μέσος όρος ηλικίας των εκπαιδευτικών είναι συνεχώς αυξανόμενος και η εμφάνιση της τεχνητής νοημοσύνης έχει αλλάξει και θα αλλάξει πολύ περισσότερο τα δεδομένα της εκπαίδευσης. Also, in my own count…

Establishment of an independent EU Ethics Body (debate)

Mr President, the debate on an independent ethics body in the Union has been going on since the previous term of office and, unfortunately, we have been caught up in the facts as to the necessity of this body. The body should have not only possibilities for investigation but also possibilities to impose sanctions. Information from third parties such as journalists, NGOs and whistleblowers should a…

Implementation of the New European Agenda for Culture and the EU Strategy for International Cultural Relations (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, this resolution is important because we support and underline the catalytic potential of culture horizontally in Europe's policies and priorities, such as the green and digital transitions. Of course, this means a single European framework that will ensure working conditions, a minimum standard income, social security and rights for all artists and all workers in cultur…

The new European Bauhaus (debate)

Mr President, Commissioners, ladies and gentlemen, it is very important that the European Bauhaus demonstrates that the creative and cultural sectors are essential to achieving the European Green Deal. However, there are some points that we should pay attention to. Firstly, the financing of the New European Bauhaus should not drain funds earmarked for culture, especially at a time when the Commiss…

EU Citizenship Report 2020 (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, I would like to thank the rapporteur Yana Toom for today's resolution, which I think is particularly important for the European citizen. We are at a time when issues of restrictions on individual freedoms were raised due to the pandemic. In any case, we must be careful that these exceptional measures do not become permanent. We have an obligation to protect all the righ…

One youth, one Europe (topical debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, we should be particularly impressed that our basic plan and funding programme for recovery and the pandemic, despite being called 'Next Generation EU', has no strategic position for youth. Also, 57% of the Recovery Facility corresponds to the green and digital transitions. Every transition, however, is primarily about the future, which is synonymous with youth. Therefor…

The situation of artists and the cultural recovery in the EU (debate)

Mr President, today's resolution is particularly important for a number of reasons, and let me mention a few. Firstly, because we finally have a resolution that essentially focuses on artists; secondly, because it includes not only people who are on stage but also those who work behind the stage, behind the lights – all, that is, without exception, cultural workers; thirdly, why do we raise the is…
