This is Europe - Debate with the Prime Minister of Greece, Kyriakos Mitsotakis (debate)

Madam President, Prime Minister, thank you very much for your presence. For my part, as a young Greek who is given the floor, I would like to refer to the specific problem of brain drain, a phenomenon of young scientists fleeing abroad to find work and a better future, with of course very negative results for our country. Having recently completed my studies at the Aristotle University of Thessalo…

Revision of the EU Emissions Trading System - Social Climate Fund - Carbon border adjustment mechanism - Revision of the EU Emissions Trading System for aviation - Notification under the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) (joint debate – Fit for 55 (part 1))

Mr President, according to Eurostat, Greece has 37% youth unemployment. This is linked to the more expensive megawatt-hour costs in Europe, costs that reduce production, are passed on to more expensive goods and are obviously pushing down wages. Provoking unemployment and granting benefits are a modern form of enslavement. With the resulting energy poverty, we are losing another generation. We see…

2021 Report on Turkey (debate)

Madam President, a united Europe was created in the ashes of inhuman extremism, the extremism perpetrated by the Holocaust of the Jews inside Europe and which threatened and enslaved states outside it. At the time, many European powers opted for trade instead of early intervention. They chose quiet instead of human life. They chose the policy of appeasement instead of dealing with the monster. So …

2021 Report on North Macedonia (debate)

Mr President, first of all we completely disagree with the use of the name of our Macedonia by Skopje. For us, the debate on this report ends here. The fact that the Skopje call themselves Macedonians is the definition of historical distortion, a distortion that insults every day all Greek citizens and especially the Greeks of our Macedonia. On the basis of the despicable agreement signed by the p…

Common agricultural policy - support for strategic plans to be drawn up by Member States and financed by the EAGF and by the EAFRD - Common agricultural policy: financing, management and monitoring - Common agricultural policy – amendment of the CMO and other regulations (debate)

Mr President, speaking today of our primary sector, we should stop talking about what our farmers should do in order for the Commission to support them and start talking about what the Commission should do in order to support our farmers effectively. In recent years, a disastrous policy has been implemented that has imposed on our producers a series of irrational regulations that have pushed up pr…

Implementation report on the EU Trust Funds and the Facility for Refugees in Turkey (continuation of debate)

Madam President, it is well known that Turkey is the country that poured oil on the fire in the Middle East. It is the country that has tried in every way to hit Greece even by arming the illegal immigrants. It is therefore hypocritical and outrageous to see the European Union ready to give more money to Turkey, when we know very well that the euros that Erdogan takes turns them into weapons aimed…
