Political repression and humanitarian situation in Cuba (debate)

We have therefore just witnessed Operation Nicolas Bay des Cochons. Here you are again at the bedside of your idol Donald Trump and his criminal action. Because the one who is suffocating the Cuban people today is Donald Trump. For 33 years, the UN General Assembly has condemned and called for the lifting of the illegal US blockade on the Cuban people. And today, why do Cuban doctors have to sort …

The impact of the implementation of the Maritime Spatial Planning Directive 2014/89/EU on fisheries in selected fishing areas and sea basins (debate)

Mr President, 112 metres long, capable of swallowing 400 tonnes of fish in a single day, this monster is called the ‘Annie Hillina’, the new flagship of the Dutch fleet, and it is about to join the horde of factory ships that are sacking marine biodiversity. These mega-trawlers, plunderers of the seas at the service of multinationals, exert unsustainable pressure on the ocean and unfair competitio…

The role of ocean diplomacy for the competitiveness of EU fisheries and aquaculture (debate)

Madam President, the ocean is a new frontier for humanity. As we have been able to maintain scientific space cooperation for years, we must be able to do so for the ocean. Unbridled capitalism is wreaking havoc in the seas, which have become the materialisation of geopolitical conflicts – the Strait of Hormuz, new Arctic routes, appropriation of international waters – but also of material exploita…

Online piracy of sports and other live events: urgent need to address unsolved issues (debate)

Mr President, why bother watching a game streaming with a pixelated image, clippings, spending an hour looking for a viable site and shutting down all the ads that appear, when it is broadcast on television? Perhaps because today, in France, it is necessary to pay every month 50 € to watch French football, 35 € for the Champions League, 30 € for the Grand Slam of tennis, 20 € for rugby, 15 € for h…

Territorial integrity and sovereignty of Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark: the need for a united EU response to US blackmail attempts (debate)

Mr President, here lies your Atlanticist Europe and its illusions of a world under the benevolent tutelage of the American gendarme. You let Donald Trump sharpen his imperialist ambitions in Gaza. You didn't stumble when the United States bombed Venezuela and kidnapped the president of a sovereign state. As early as last July, during my resolution on Greenland, I was alarmed at the weakness of you…

Breeders' protests following a lumpy-skin-disease outbreak in France: implications of the EU approach on sanitary and on animal health (debate)

Last October, I met Jacques, a farmer in Mutrécy, Calvados. His little flock had been slaughtered for one bovine tuberculosis positive cow – an unprecedented trauma. Since February, we have been alerting in Normandy – in Cahagnes, in Saint-Omer, in Cesny. I alerted the Commission last April. In 2023, Jocelyn had its 305 cows slaughtered for 1 positive case. Since 2013, 45 farms have been slaughter…

Outcome of the UN Climate Change Conference - Belém (COP30) (debate)

Mr President, COP30 is a real success for... fossil fuel multinationals! But climate diplomacy goes up in smoke. COP is burning, but we're looking elsewhere. Thousands of accredited lobbyists, excluded civil society, no mention of fossil fuels in the final text, no progress against deforestation. The record of COP 30 is zero, the European Union is humiliated. France, in the lead, shames us, the go…

Conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction (debate)

Madam President, the high seas represent 64% of the ocean. This is more than half the surface of the globe. It is a common good, vital for biodiversity, for the fight against climate change and for the survival of humanity. Yet today, the high seas are the far west; it is a lawless zone. The agreement under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea on the conservation and sustainable use…

UN Climate Change Conference 2025 in Belém, Brazil (COP30) (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, the European Union's position on COP 30 has failed. But your failure is our burden and that of future generations. Your failure to propose a climate law commensurate with the Paris Agreement is the ruin of the countries of the global South, which are assuming their responsibilities despite much more limited resources. Your complicity with ecocide multinationals, whic…

EU-Greenland and Denmark Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreement: Implementing Protocol 2025-2030 (Resolution) (A10-0103/2025 - Emma Fourreau) (vote)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the Arctic is warming four times faster than the rest of the world. This is a wake-up call from scientists. This region of the world, which is essential in the fight against climate change, is already the first victim. Greenland is no exception, and its population suffers from the effects of climate change, which directly affect places and lifestyles. Fishing, w…

European Ocean Pact (debate)

Madam President, "The high seas will no longer be the Wild West", said Emmanuel Macron during the UN Ocean Conference, but he did not name the cowboys: the oil, gas or intensive fishing industries. "The high seas will no longer be the Wild West." Yet when Macron announces that he will reach 4% of marine areas without bottom trawling, he lies. This practice is already prohibited or impossible in th…

The European Water Resilience Strategy (debate)

Madam President, yesterday, a few kilometres from here in Alsace, the prefecture banned more than 3,000 people from using their tap water. In question, levels of PFAS, eternal pollutants, more than four times higher than the maximum threshold. You are fortunate, Commissioner, to have beautiful filtered water fountains here in Parliament, but not everyone has that luxury. And if you drank tap water…

European oceans pact (debate)

Mr President, in June France will host the United Nations Ocean Conference. As such, according to Emmanuel Macron, an unreliable source, 2025 was to be the year of the ocean. However, we are heading towards the year of nothingness. The eight goals he presented at the SOS Ocean Summit come far too late and are sorely lacking in ambition. For capitalists, the ocean can wait. Commissioner, your long-…

Cutting red tape and simplifying business in the EU: the first Omnibus proposals (debate)

Madam President, here is a simple definition of omnibus legislation for the uninitiated: the European Commission submits to capital and yields to the demands of ecocide multinationals and the productivist far right, to the detriment of workers and the planet. European citizens will remember Mrs von der Leyen as the one who shattered all efforts to achieve proper environmental legislation. Indeed, …

Silent crisis: the mental health of Europe’s youth (debate)

Mr President, to abandon young people is to sentence them to death. In Europe, suicide – suicide! – is the leading cause of death among 15-24 year-olds after road accidents. Yes, deteriorating youth mental health is a major public health issue. And we are not talking about a crisis without cause, a crisis without responsibility. We will not end the psychological distress of youth without addressin…

Stepping up international action to protect whales following Iceland’s decision to extend commercial whaling until 2029 (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, time is running out. Let us act before it is too late, for in the spring Icelandic whalers will again roam the icy waters of the far north, armed with their explosive harpoon, to sow death. 2,130 whales could be slaughtered by Iceland in the next five years, even though commercial whaling has been under an international moratorium since 1986.
