Amending certain CAP Regulations as regards the conditionality system, types of intervention in the form of direct payment, types of intervention in certain sectors and rural development and annual performance reports, data and interoperability governance, suspensions of payments annual performance clearance and controls and penalties (debate)
Mr President, at the Saarijärvi Straits the farmer Paavo once said to his wife: "Place in the bread half of the bedbugs, for our neighbor took away the frost." --------------------------------------- Almost 200 years later, it is time for Finnish farmers to hear a new kind of warning: If the majority has a green-left EU power, it will go under your bread. The harsh truth is this: In recent years, …

Incentivising defence-related investments in the EU budget to implement the ReArm Europe Plan (debate)
My colleague, Trump is only talking to Russia because Europe is so weak that it has not invested in its defence. If we had invested in defence, Europe would be involved in the negotiations. You condemned the defence arms race in Europe. This is exactly what Trump and Putin want to see in Europe. When Russia spends 40% of its budget on the military industry, should Europe not invest in defence?…

Incentivising defence-related investments in the EU budget to implement the ReArm Europe Plan (debate)
Mr President, Europe must finally start to realise the true gravity of our dismal defence readiness. It is a matter of life and death. The fact that the eligibility for research and innovation funding will now be extended to European defence companies is a big step in the right direction. I think that the fact that we even have to take this kind of decision now shows how lost most of the politicia…

Murder of Mehdi Kessaci - urgent need for ambitious European action against drug trafficking (debate)
Mr President, Marseille, France, is in chaos. Drug gangs have taken over the city, they incite fear, recruit younger and younger people, and shootings have become commonplace. Unfortunately, by European standards, the development of the city is quite familiar. Like many other major European cities, Marseille has a large immigrant population and, less surprisingly, has faced major challenges. Failu…

EU strategy for the rights of persons with disabilities post-2024 (debate)
Madam President, dear colleague Langensiepen, it is truly offensive when you shout out from the podium calling this side fascists. My brother has Down syndrome. In Finland, the laws allow abortion almost up to the fifth month, but people like my brother or those with deformities can be aborted even a month later. What message does this send to these people? Well, that they are not equal. And this …

Implementation of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (debate)
Madam President, the EU-UK trade agreement is a lesson for the EU. When Brexit took effect, did the trade across the Channel suddenly grind to a halt? Was the UK suddenly inaccessible to continental Europeans? Did the UK collapse? Of course not. The British are doing more than fine without so-called 'help' from Ms von der Leyen or any of us here in this Chamber. The Brits know pretty darn well how…

Escalation of the war and the humanitarian catastrophe in Sudan (continuation of debate)
Madam President, I can't help but notice that there are no 'Free Sudan' flags in this House. Why is that? Those who made freeing Palestine their entire identity are strangely silent on this issue. Where is the outrage about the systematic ethnic violence against black African non-Arab people in Sudan, or about the 12 million Sudanese fleeing death? Do they not deserve your passion? You raged at Is…

2026 budgetary procedure: joint text (debate)
Mr President, the phrase that we Finns are familiar with on TV, 'you can't stop money from coming', here in the EU, bends to 'you can't put up with money'. These are the kind of consumer collusion that the spot does not come, but is constantly moved forward and billet it as it continues. 8 billion euros in stimulus package interest rates. On top, of course, of 20 billion euros in social, or should…

Effective use of the EU trade and industrial policy to tackle China’s export restrictions (debate)
Mr President, what is the EU to China? It is a soft organisation for China that is not expected to cause any harm. At the same time, the EU is China's main trading partner. EU exports of goods and services to China last year amounted to around EUR 270 billion. The United States is a much smaller trading partner for China, but it is still the United States, whose levers China fears. We are not a ta…

Communication on the Democracy Shield (debate)
Mr President, democracy is something we all believe in. But where we disagree is on who gets to decide what disinformation or hate speech is, and who defines what harmful content is. I was once in an election debate where I was told by a current EPP MEP that believing in God and posting about it on Facebook was misinformation. Unbelievable. Genuine immigration concerns can easily be labelled as ex…

European Defence Industry Programme and a framework of measures to ensure the timely availability and supply of defence products (‘EDIP’) (debate)
Mr President, no society will survive without defenders. If hardness is not found, someone will march in and destroy what we have built. Right now, it's Russia. Throughout its history, Finland has played its part in keeping our boundaries. Countries that have no border with Russia should understand that frontline countries are not any security guards behind whom you can take it more relaxed. Every…

Enhancing police cooperation in relation to the prevention, detection and investigation of migrant smuggling and trafficking in human beings; enhancing Europol’s support to preventing and combating such crimes (debate)
Madam President, 239 000. This insane figure is the amount of irregular border crossings reported on the EU's external borders in 2024. Migrant smugglers are sneaking people into Europe and making unbelievable profit doing so. Leftist policy is often directed against the rich. But when I look at the naive leftist migration policy, I can't help thinking that these rich smugglers would all be voting…

Existence of a clear risk of a serious breach by Hungary of the values on which the Union is founded (debate)
Mr President, democracy and the rule of law are the cornerstones that Europe was built upon. There should be no room in Europe for corruption. Judicial independence, free media and the right to assembly must be protected. While we are seeing signs that these values are under threat in Hungary, the European institutions have done a terrible job in addressing legitimate issues. Instead of fact‑based…

Conclusions of the European Council meeting of 23 October 2025 (debate)
Mr President, it is great that there has been a ceasefire in Gaza in accordance with the Trump peace plan. In the first phase of the plan, Hamas pledged to return every hostage to Israel, including the dead. The idea was to do this quickly and move quickly to the second phase, disarmament. The problem is that after more than a month, the bodies of four hostages are still in Gaza. Hamas has already…

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance
Mr President, the EU is falling behind global rivals in AI. I don't think we truly understand the urgency with which we need to act before it's too late. The exponential growth of AI is unlike anything we've ever seen in human history. The US created 40 foundational models in 2020, China 15, the EU only 3. Regulation on the use of data and the slow adoption of AI use in industry are major barriers…

Business in Europe: Framework for Income Taxation (BEFIT) (short presentation)
Mr President, the construction of the Eurozone is progressing. The EU Commission is constantly threatening the right of Member States to decide on their taxes. This time, the monster's name is BEFIT, a common corporate tax base. For the socialists, this equalization and the killing of competition is one celebration, but for the coalition parties: Why are you back on the left? The proposal also men…

European Maritime Safety Agency (short presentation)
Mr President, in its federal belligerents and greenheads, the EU is once again expanding a supranational agency. This time it is the Maritime Safety Agency. Judging by the name, one would think that the Agency's task would be precisely to promote maritime safety. However, this proposal will make the Agency a stronger climate actor. With the aim of securing shipping, it is now decided to start repo…

Addressing transnational repression of human rights defenders (short presentation)
Mr President, the persecution of rogue states knows no borders. Russia is also chasing exiled dissidents in the territories of EU Member States. Attempts to assassinate Sergei and Julia Skripal and the poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in Great Britain and the murder of a Chechen commander in Germany: These are not isolated cases, but systematic state terrorism. China, on the other hand, has set u…

Protecting EU consumers against the practices of certain e-commerce platforms: the case of child-like sex dolls, weapons and other illegal products and material (debate)
Mr President, a self-respecting Europe faces only one option: China trade has to be pushed down. The controversy that has recently risen to the headlines is a good illustration of the values of Chinese bullshit traders. Shein, a fast fashion company, had sex dolls that resembled children in their range of sales. It's a sick act. In the middle of the womb, France decided to suspend Shein's online s…
