Defence (joint debate)
Madam President, investing more in defence, reducing our external dependencies, producing more and faster: all this is necessary in the international context, and all this requires creating an ultra-favourable regulatory, normative and financial environment for the defence industry. Everyone has to be in their place here. States with a central, and even unique, decision-making role. The Commission…

Hybrid attacks against the EU Member States (joint debate)
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, hybrid warfare has been a popular concept for several years, but it describes an already long-standing reality. Even before, or even without, weapons speak, it is possible to achieve political results through intimidation, propaganda, demoralization or through actions of a low level of violence. Let us remember, ladies and gentlemen, that this is not a war, howe…

Europe's response to reduced US military deployments in Europe, particularly at its Eastern flank in the light of the latest US decisions (debate)
Madam President, High Representative, as you have said, the American disengagement from Europe will continue after Mr Trump's term, because Washington's deep direction is clear: Europe is no longer a priority theatre for the United States and the European armed forces must themselves guarantee conventional deterrence on the continent. Added to this long-term redirection is a crisis of confidence a…

EU cybersecurity and preparedness in view of advanced AI systems (debate)
Madam President, to say that the one who dominates artificial intelligence will be the master of the world tomorrow is to move a little too fast. On the other hand, it is certain that those who do not master artificial intelligence will be dominated by those who master the whole chain and flood us with their services. Today's debate is marked by a form of panic linked to the flaws that Anthropic's…

Ensuring accountability and justice in response to Russia’s continued attacks against the civilian population in Ukraine (debate)
Madam President, Minister, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, Russia's war in Ukraine is not a war for part of its territory. After four years of conflict, and with the Russian military illegally occupying 20% of Ukrainian territory, it is clear that it is a war to wipe an entire country off the map, destroy its sovereignty and erase its identity. These maximalist goals promote war crimes and abu…

Tackling barriers to the single market for defence - Flagship European defence projects of common interest
Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, strengthening Europe's defence against its potential adversaries and reducing its dependence on external actors are objectives that are widely accepted in this Parliament. It is the means of achieving this that are the subject of debate. Your report, Mr Cremer, has its logic and consistency, but we dispute its presupposition…

Drones and new systems of warfare – the EU’s need to adapt to be fit for today’s security challenges (debate)
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, some military innovations are more than just technologies integrating the repertoire of the armed forces. They call for a thorough overhaul of almost all of our security vision. This is the case of the drone and its counterpart, the antidrone fight. The proposed report shows this well. We have not sufficiently integrated all the adaptations that the drone involv…

CFSP and CSDP (Article 36 TEU) (joint debate)
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, our debates on common foreign and defence policy cannot ignore the context of the transatlantic crisis we are going through. Report after report, the Europeans repeated like a mantra that we should not duplicate NATO. Any US capacity had to be seen as automatically benefiting Europe in case of need. This status quo is no longer tenable. Just a few months ago, ca…

Preparation of the European Council meeting of 18-19 December 2025, in particular the need to support Ukraine, transatlantic relations and the EU’s strategic autonomy (debate)
Mr President, the publication of the new American security strategy gives rise to a sad spectacle in Europe. Its most essential teaching is clear: We Europeans must be able to defend ourselves. But instead of thinking about it, many voices have been quick to point to European enemies from within, accused of wanting to sabotage the European Union under American patronage. Maybe you don't have the m…

EU’s diplomatic strategy and geopolitical cooperation in the Arctic (debate)
Madam President, Europe is constantly rediscovering, one after the other, the importance of regions, lands or seas that it had or neglected or considered to have emerged from history. So we rightly stress the importance of the Arctic for Europe and its security, and we rightly point out the remilitarization of this space by Putin's Russia and the strategic potential offered by the melting of the i…

European Defence Industry Programme and a framework of measures to ensure the timely availability and supply of defence products (‘EDIP’) (debate)
Madam President, the Russian-Ukrainian war reconfigures many capability needs in Europe, particularly in the area of salvo exchanges, from the smallest munitions to the ground-to-air missiles, which are so valuable in Ukraine. Europe is lagging far behind in achieving capability autonomy. However, it is precisely on these sectors that the EDIP programme provides for derogations in order to include…

The need for a united support to Ukraine and for a just and durable peace concluded on Ukraine's terms, with Europeans and without surrendering to Vladimir Putin's conditions ahead of the foreseen Budapest summit (debate)
Mr President, the meeting between Trump and Putin in Budapest is unlikely to take place. Or not now. Whose fault? To the Americans? No, no. For months, they have been working hard to establish the conditions for difficult negotiations between Russians and Ukrainians. The fault of the Ukrainians? No, no. Their military resistance is the very condition for negotiations to take place, because their s…

Stepping up funding for Ukraine’s reconstruction and defence: the use of Russian frozen assets (debate)
Madam President, Europe's commitment to supporting Ukraine in its struggle for sovereignty is not only fair, but also in line with our security interests and seeking ways to continue this support while not seriously undermining the budgetary situation of our countries is a welcome step. However, the idea of a zero-interest loan, the repayment of which would be based on possible Russian reparations…

United response to recent Russian violations of the EU Member States’ airspace and critical infrastructure (debate)
Madam President, Commissioner, as you know, we are firmly committed to the sovereignty of States, respect for territorial integrity and the inviolability of borders. We therefore unambiguously denounce Russia's violations of the airspace of allied European countries. This firmness must be accompanied by lucidity and proportionality. Outrageous statements that equate any intrusion with an act of wa…

Strengthening Moldova’s resilience against Russian hybrid threats and malign interference (debate)
Mr President, who can deny that Moldova is of the greatest interest to Russia? The attentive observer who opens a map of Europe will find this small state nestled between Romania and Ukraine, a country with which it shares nearly 1,000 kilometers of borders. Relatively distant from Russia, lacking an army with the slightest modern capabilities, Moldova poses no threat to Russia's security. On the …

Ukraine (joint debate)
Madam President, first of all, let me pay tribute to the many Ukrainian civilian casualties of the last few days. The Russian vehicles that cross the Ukrainian sky with impunity have brought them death. We are told that the plans for a European Reinsurance Force are ready. Very well. But these plans are plans of the mind. Their details are certainly scholarly, their logistics well thought out, but…

Presentation of the programme of activities of the Danish Presidency (debate)
Madam President, Prime Minister, what if the Danish Presidency was that of a European preference finally assumed? Denmark has an opportunity to lead the way. As regards the defence industry, you inherit the negotiations of the EDIP programme, and it is essential that the ambition of this text is not undermined by derogations that would prolong dependence on the United States. In terms of migration…
