Importance of consent-based rape legislation in the EU (debate)

We are committed to effectively protecting victims and promoting prevention measures, but these efforts can only be effective if the necessary measures are tailored to the socio-legal specificities of each Member State at national level. A unified, centralised approach ignores national, cultural and legal differences that are key to genuine assistance. We are concerned that the left is trying to i…

Presentation of the Action Plan on Cybersecurity and AI (debate)

You've raised several issues which deal with generally how we're going to apply AI. Of course it touches on software engineers as well. That's why I argued in favour of public procurement, because private investment is not happening in AI or not sufficiently in Europe. That's why we should have massive public procurement. To suck up also the engineers, we should incentivise software engineers and …

Presentation of the Action Plan on Cybersecurity and AI (debate)

Mr President, the European Commission's response to the rise of AI and related cybersecurity challenges is disappointing, to say the least, including the new action plan. When the US learned that Germany was building a nuclear weapon, it understood that it must do the same. In fact, it understood that it must win the race. When the first atomic bomb was built, others were rushing to catch up. Thos…

Urgent measures to strengthen the competitiveness and safeguard quality jobs in the EU’s automotive sector (debate)

Madam President, Mercedes is decreasing wages by 20 %, Volkswagen is shutting down factories and firing tens of thousands of workers, Stellantis has achieved a net loss of EUR 20 billion last year, and the European Commission estimates that 600 000 jobs in the auto industry are at risk.

Achieving digital sovereignty and resilience for Europe, in light of recent developments affecting access to advanced AI technologies (debate)

Mr President, when it comes to digital sovereignty and innovation in the digital sector, the EU is lagging far behind the United States and increasingly behind China, too. And this has been the case for very long now. In Europe, we lack enough software and hardware engineers, chip manufacturing is limited, expensive energy makes investing in data centres in Europe unattractive, and so does overreg…

The European Union is very proud to have created the world's first AI regulation. By contrast, Europe is not the first to innovate, code and create all relevant technical conditions in the digit…

Topical debate requested by a political group (PfE) (Rule 169) - Commission interference in democratic process and elections (topical debate)

Mr President, EU interference in the domestic politics and elections of EU Member States is a massive scandal that elites in Brussels want to sweep under the rug. President von der Leyen has publicly admitted that the European Commission was incredibly strict with Prime Minister Orbán. The EUR 17 billion of EU funds that were frozen, she said, were huge for a country of such size. She also said th…

Dear colleague, you just spoke about 'happy ending' and 'the time is ticking'.
