Binding annual greenhouse gas emission reductions by Member States (Effort Sharing Regulation) - Land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) - Revision of the Market Stability Reserve for the EU Emissions Trading System (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, as part of the European Union's roadmap for implementing the objectives of the Paris Climate Agreement, the European Parliament must vote on the results of the interinstitutional negotiations on certain legislative proposals. The goal of drastically reducing greenhouse gas emissions is the right one. But again, the proposed tools are not always up to the stat…

Access to strategic critical raw materials (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, the pandemic has shown how much we need to no longer be dependent on the rest of the world to meet our basic needs. It is therefore time to secure our supplies of strategic raw materials, and in particular those necessary for the ecological bifurcation. Indeed, continuing to supply cobalt, lithium and rare earths abundantly on other continents, in the disastrous cond…

CO2 emission standards for cars and vans (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, at first glance, banning the sale of new combustion engine vehicles by 2035 is a good thing. Because the CO2 emissions released by our cars are not only responsible for global warming, but also poison the health of millions of people due to air pollution. However, pursuing these ambitious and necessary targets without any planning is irresponsib…

An EU strategy to boost industrial competitiveness, trade and quality jobs (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the European Commission has an ambition to reindustrialise Europe in order to produce what is needed and to implement the green transition. To achieve this, the institutions want to strengthen the competitiveness of European industry. But then I ask myself this simple question: How can we reindustrialise our continent without protectionism and without control…

Outcome of COP27 (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the COPs follow one another, and the promises made during them are a bit like the good New Year’s resolutions, those made in the evening and betrayed the next day. Admittedly, the creation of a compensation fund for the countries of the South is good news. It must be said that this is the least, since the prosperity of the North has been based on the exploita…

A truly interconnected Energy Single Market to keep bills down and companies competitive (topical debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, this morning I heard on the radio that Enedis, the French electricity grid operator, is preparing for load shedding. In other words, we should be facing power cuts this winter because we do not have enough energy to meet demand. Thus, in the event of extreme cold, the heating of households and the power supply to businesses should be interrupted. It is also o…

UN Climate Change Conference 2022 in Sharm-el-Sheikh, Egypt (COP27) (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, have you noticed the irony of our calendar? The COP, the UN conference that brings together world leaders to talk about the ecological crisis and the fight against global warming, will be held at the same time as the Qatar Football World Cup, held in the middle of the desert, in air-conditioned stadiums. Then, in the aftermath, we found nothing better than award…

Humanitarian situation after the devastating floods in Pakistan and the climate crisis (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, there is chaos in Pakistan as a result of the terrible floods that have hit the country. More than 1,600 people have lost their lives, millions of homes have been destroyed, farmland has been devastated and hundreds of schools have been wiped off the map. At least 8 million people have been forced to leave everything behind to find the resources they need to sur…

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, let us not go around the bush. Let us admit that the energy market is a failure and that opening up this sector to competition is one of the worst decisions taken and imposed by the European Union on the Member States. This market allows, in times of crisis, for some energy companies, to produce electricity at € 40 per megawatt to quietly resell it at € 1,000…

New EU Forest Strategy for 2030 – Sustainable Forest Management in Europe (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, it is good to start this parliamentary campaign with the European forestry strategy. As you know, the summer was marked by numerous fires that ravaged thousands of hectares, reminding us of the extreme fragility of our ecosystems. The ecological crisis is here and it is our duty to mitigate its effects on fauna, flora and the most vulnerable. For our forestry st…
