Social and employment aspects of restructuring processes: the need to protect jobs and workers’ rights (debate)

Madam President, Madam rapporteur, as usual, the European Union is playing firefighter. The aim of this resolution is indeed nothing more or less than to correct the mistakes of other decisions taken by the European Union. Its neoliberal policy is steeped in green ideology, damaging our economy and destroying our businesses and jobs. Faced with this alarming observation, far from wanting to questi…

The need for EU support towards a just transition and reconstruction in Syria (debate)

Madam President, the situation in Syria is dramatic. If the civil war seems to be over, we must not lift our surveillance. Just because the de facto Syrian president put on a tie does not mean that he is no longer the heir to al-Qaeda. Predictably, massacres are currently being committed against the country's Christian and Alawite minorities. I would therefore like to recall that respect for minor…

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to draw your attention to the dramatic consequences of the massive release of chemical weapons and munitions into the English Channel, the North Sea and the Baltic Sea during the two world conflicts of the 20th century. Millions of tons of ammunition of all kinds have been dumped off the coast and are now a real danger. Specialists indicate that …

Boosting vocational education and training in times of labour market transitions (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, like an anti-Midas, the European Commission is destroying everything it touches. Having destroyed our economy, our industry and our competitiveness, it is now seeking to undermine our vocational training policies. Le seul exploit dont la Commission pourra se targuer est celui de réussir à épuiser le pactole. So what can we expect from her when she looks at th…

Mr President, the disastrous policy of the European Union is now threatening our steel industry. Reims and Denain in France, Geel in Belgium: Here are the next three victims of this rampage. ArcelorMittal, which is suffering from an unfavourable economic context – to which the European institutions are no stranger – has not only chosen to close three of its industrial sites, but has also suspended…

Guidelines for the employment policies of the Member States (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, what happens when a spineless neoliberal organisation, such as the European Commission, seeks to meddle in the social policies of its Member States? Surprisingly, we do not get a programmed proposal to protect people, but rather an anti-social policy. On the one hand, with her Orwellian Novlangue, she will speak of "active old age" to avoid assuming her will to …

One-minute speeches (Rule 179)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I am addressing you today to talk about a sector in danger: that of wood. In 2020, all major trade unions and employers in the wood processing industry took the initiative of a joint declaration to stop the massive export of logs to Asia, and particularly to China. The export of unprocessed wood is taking on worrying proportions, and not only for oak – as is the…

The crisis facing the EU’s automotive industry, potential plant closures and the need to enhance competitiveness and maintain jobs in Europe (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the European Commission finally seems to care about its car industry. What a waste of time, which could have prevented the closure of the factories PSA Aulnay-sous-Bois, Renault in Flins-sur-Seine and so many others in Europe. So many employees would have liked the European Union to be by their side before losing their jobs. This statement by the Commission l…
