Energy-intensive industries (debate)

Madam President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I would like to thank you. Europe's energy-intensive industry is crying out for help, and its main problem is energy costs.

Rise of energy prices and fighting energy poverty (debate)

Removing PiS from power, those who inflicted hell on women, required the creation of a broad political agreement from right to left.

U-turn on EU bureaucracy: the need to axe unnecessary burdens and reporting to unleash competitiveness and innovation (topical debate)

There will be more and more such places on the map of Europ…
