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

Madam President! Honestly, if I sat in the Commission and had helped to sit on my hands and actively destroy the European market for which millions of Europeans are fighting every day, I think I would be ashamed. For the Commission, together with the centre-left, has been pursuing a policy for many years that has put a brake on Europe's development, putting a brake on the fact that the internal ma…

How to secure a sustainable future for the EU livestock sector in light of the need to ensure food security, farmers’ resilience and the challenges posed by animal diseases? (debate)

Mr. President! First of all, thank you for this report, Carlo. It is good work and it is a very important matter to open up and this debate. "You cannot build a continent on an empty stomach." That is what Commissioner Hansen said last year in Munich, and he is absolutely right about that. Nor can you defend a continent on an empty stomach, which is why food production is an absolute top priority …

Global Gateway – past impacts and future orientation (debate)

Madam President! Dear Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen! The report is right when it criticises a lack of transparency and accountability. I do not think we should pretend that this is good enough for us to recommend that we vote in favour anyway. Because it's not. There are no requirements, no conditions, no consequences when it comes to migration. We are sending billions out of the E…

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

Madam President! For years, the centre-left and the left have smashed Europe's competitiveness. They have done so with foolish regulation, red tape and green fantasy deals that have never helped a single company or citizen in Europe. As the U.S. and China's economy grows, you have chosen control and reports. It has cost businesses, it has cost growth, and it has cost the lives of thousands of Euro…

The Spanish Socialists want to open the door wide, so that half a million people who are staying illegally now are allowed to do so. It's not politics, it's madness. They reward criminals.

Common agricultural policy (joint debate)

Madam President! Sigrid, either you don't listen very well when I'm talking, or you're trying to create a narrative that doesn't exist. Because I think it's a really good idea, with other ways of farming than you do today. It just needs to be competitive. In fact, some people are actually asking for these products. The reality is that it is not there. We can see that the demand for, for example, l…

Stopping the genocide in Gaza: time for EU sanctions (topical debate)

Madam President! The only genocide taking place in Gaza is what Hamas is exposing both its own people and the Israelis in the area. For it is common knowledge that all Jews in Gaza are either dead or held hostage by Hamas. Nearly two million Palestinians live and worship in Israel. So accusing the State of Israel of carrying out genocide against the Palestinians is not only stupid, it is also a di…
