I think it is something that we have very clear who have sector in our regions and nations and who want to defend both the sustainability of the oceans and the sustainability of economic and social activity, putting in value also women, who mentioned them and that it is important to recognize them also at this time.

Evaluation of the Common Fisheries Policy and follow-up (debate)

Mr President, two very clear messages for today. The first, with regard to the Multiannual Financial Framework: We absolutely reject the centralisation and reduction of fishing funds in those national envelopes which, in our case, would mean that everything would be decided from Madrid. We have a sector in Euskadi that deserves to be heard from close proximity. The second, with regard to the Commo…

EU-Mexico (joint debate)

Madam President, we live in a complex and uncertain context where we know that – in addition – tariffs are being used as continuous threats. In this context, trade agreements with allies that are stable and trustworthy and that give us guarantees that shared values will be respected and the rules of the game that we establish seem to be more important than ever. It seems that this year 2026 is a y…

The resilience of the European transport sector and the need to ensure the supply of essential goods amid ongoing geopolitical instability (debate)

Mr President, it seems that Hormuz is going to open up and it is good news, without a doubt, but the cost of the bill for states like Euskadi is 200 million and we have seen blockage of trade routes, price increases and tensions in supply chains. So if to avoid and reduce these risks what we really want is to bet on transport corridors that connect ports, airports, roads and trains vertebrating al…

High time to deliver on the Single Market, providing certainty and predictability for EU businesses and quality jobs (continuation of debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, I am going to share here today a question that I think you already know in advance and it is by when that list of barriers to the single market by state that we must eliminate, so that it is something simple, something understandable and so that MEPs can return to our house and press for them to eliminate them. We need stability and predictability and, given the exte…

EU cybersecurity and preparedness in view of advanced AI systems (debate)

Madam President, a few years ago, we thought that the biggest threats to our security were physical and today we know that they are also digital; whereas artificial intelligence, in addition to advancing and innovating, also serves to attack critical infrastructure, to spew sensitive information and to destabilise public services. And the development of advanced artificial intelligence systems suc…
