Urgent actions to revive EU competitiveness, deepen the EU Single Market and reduce the cost of living - from the Draghi report to reality (debate)

Dear rapporteur, when I became a Member of the European Parliament in this term, I was very shocked by the bureaucracy. And not just me. I had to work my advisers for six months, and when one of them had to be fired, I also fired for six months. I have not seen it, and I think there is no bureaucracy in the world. Now my local advisors have to write reports, how many letters have been written to m…

Urgent actions to revive EU competitiveness, deepen the EU Single Market and reduce the cost of living - from the Draghi report to reality (debate)

There is such an experience in life. Draghi uncovered Europe in his report, revealing its problems: A huge bureaucracy has been created that is destroying Europe. If the manager works badly in the company, the shareholders retire him. You have been the dominant political force in Europe for 30 years, which has created this bureaucratic apparatus. Wouldn't it be better for you to resign? This is a …

A new action plan to implement the European Pillar of Social Rights (debate)

Mr President, the European Union's social policy must be very responsible. Today, the unemployment rate in the European Union is more than 6%. I believe that social policy cannot promote unemployment, especially the war of those who arrive from poverty to the European Union. On the other hand, employers must pay wages that ensure a decent working life. And the European Union must aim for a minimum…

Attempted takeover of Lithuania’s public broadcaster and the threat to democracy in Lithuania (debate)

Why have you not been disturbed by this law, which has been in force for twenty years, and the director of the council has been secretly appointed and dismissed? You want to save your director!

Yes, dear colleague Petra, why do you not propose that staffing arrangements in the European Parliament should also be changed with regard to the appointment and dismissal of officials?

Dear Vyteni, since we speak Lithuanian, I want to ask a question. As you know, the law has been in force for 20 years, that the director of the LRT is appointed and dismissed by a simple majority vote by secret ballot. At the end of their term, the Conservatives, seeing that they were in trouble with the election, changed the law to vote only in public and, in order to be forgiven, to vote in publ…

Preparations for the EU-India summit (debate)

Ladies and gentlemen, I think that we should not be so optimistic that the big pluses will be for us from the free trade we have signed with India. Today, with China alone, our trade deficit is more than 300 billion a year and it is growing steadily. India has a trade deficit of over 15 billion. After all, we know that there is a 15-fold difference between India’s average wage and that of the Euro…
