The devastating floods in Central and Eastern Europe, the loss of lives and the EU’s preparedness to act on such disasters exacerbated by climate change (debate)
Mr President, thank you very much. As we debate here today in comfortable outfits, comfortable shoes, many heroes are fighting right now to stop this element. They often fight in sweat, in tears, to stop and fight for every meter. I want to be clear: The moment you can stop this element, this water, you will have to rebuild everything that this element destroyed. And that is what the European community is for, and that is what the European Union is for, and perhaps it will be one of the most important and greatest challenges. But that's why we're here to help these people. And these people do not expect empty words, but they expect a support fund, a fund to rebuild their homes, roads and bridges. In 1980, Solidarity was established in Poland. Today, this solidarity is needed not only by Poland, but also by the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania and Italy. I want it to sound out of this room that these people will get help from us and none of them will be left alone.
The future of European competitiveness (debate)
Madam President, thank you very much. I think this is one of the most important debates in the European Parliament. I am speaking here on behalf of two industries, extremely important and important, which concern each of us. Each of us has a refrigerator, washing machine or dryer, and on the other hand, each or most of us have ceramic tiles in the kitchen or bathroom. Both industries are produced, or their production takes place in Poland, but not only in Poland, because in Spain, it also takes place in France. Both industries are at risk. One of them, the first one, household appliances, is being displaced today by the Chinese market. Almost 60% of the products are imported from China. The latter, I'm talking about the ceramic one, is being supplanted by Asian countries. Almost 40% are already imported from Asia. Well, we are already feeling the effects today, the best example of this is, unfortunately, the dismissal of almost 1,200 people from the Beko factory in Łódź. One of the cornerstones of the European Union was the common security of the European economy. We have to do this absolutely together. There's no time to waste. We have to do it together now, not in five years.
