PL Written Statement

The future of European competitiveness (debate)

Thank you to the author for this comprehensive document. You have clearly identified the problems of the European economy. I am glad that some things have been named directly - if we do not act now and if we do not take radical steps, we risk an economic collapse, from which it will be difficult to recover. Europe is rapidly losing its position of economic power to the US and China. The level of c…

UN Convention on the Rights of Older Persons (debate)

Watch

Mr President, thank you very much. Dear Commissioner, Europe needs a UN Convention on the Rights of Older Persons, but not as another declaration, but as a document that will really protect our rights, because old age awaits each of us. But it is worth emphasizing that not every elderly person is by definition a dependent person. He is a man who wants to continue to grow, work, travel, meet others…

Affordable Housing Act (debate)

Watch

Mr President, thank you very much. Dear Commissioner, I would like to start with a very simple question: Have you read the recommendations of the European Parliament regarding the housing crisis? In them, Parliament identified very concrete solutions, including for people who are now practically excluded from the housing market. There are 90 million people with disabilities in the European Union, …

An EU health workforce crisis plan: sustainability of healthcare systems and employment and working conditions in the healthcare sector (debate)

Watch

Mr President, thank you very much. Dear Commissioner, On Tuesday, the Commission presented a package of fair mobility, which aims to facilitate labour mobility, simplify procedures and speed up the recognition of qualifications in the Union. When there is a shortage of doctors, nurses, physiotherapists or caregivers, the consequences are primarily borne by patients. Greater mobility of workers can…

Coordination of social security systems (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. Today we are talking about legislation that has entered the final phase of a long-standing legislative process in the European Union for almost 10 years. It's been a very long time. In the meantime, circumstances, conditions and needs have changed. There are other challenges today than a decade ago. That is why there are reasonable doubts. And that's not just the…

Air passenger rights (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. I would like to draw attention to one particularly important aspect of the new rules. Imagine a person with a disability who finds out after landing that their wheelchair has been damaged or has not arrived at all. It's not just an inconvenience, it's a loss of mobility, self-reliance and a sense of security. That is why these new rules are so important, because airline…

Advancing towards a care society: addressing the gender care gap (debate)

Watch

Dear Mr President, Dear Commissioner, Let's be clear: The care gap is not a private problem for women. This is an economic and social problem. Millions of women in Europe are doing huge care work – unpaid, unsecured and unrecognised. And the bill comes after years: lower wages, lower pensions, higher risk of poverty and economic dependency. Therefore, the pay gap, the care gap and the pension gap …

Recent proposals to fight poverty in the EU (debate)

Watch

Mr President, thank you very much. Dear Commissioner, Ladies and Gentlemen, For the first time, the European Union has put forward such an ambitious anti-poverty strategy, a strategy that is no longer just about reducing the impact, but aims to eradicate poverty completely by 2050. This is an important signal, especially today, as Europe faces a security crisis, high cost of living and growing soc…

Women’s entrepreneurship in rural and island areas and outermost regions (debate)

Watch

Madam President, I'm sorry. Rural women's activities are crucial for the development of our local economies, agriculture and culture. Yet their potential in Europe is still not fully exploited. Why is that? Because they still face real barriers in accessing education, the internet, transport or childcare. It is these factors that often determine whether a woman can work, develop her own business a…

Housing crisis in the European Union with the aim of proposing solutions for decent, sustainable and affordable housing (debate)

Watch

Madam President, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, today we are talking about the housing crisis in Europe, but for many people with disabilities, the problem does not start with the price of housing. The problem starts with the fact that there is simply no housing available, as as many as 70-80% of them are not suitable for independent living for people with disabilities. And yet the lack of an av…

Gender pay and pension gap in the EU: state of play, challenges and the way forward, and developing guidelines for the better evaluation and fairer remuneration of work in female-dominated sectors (debate)

Watch

Madam President, I'm sorry. The gender pay gap is still a reality in many European Union countries. In some of them, the pay gap reaches up to 30%. At the same time, it is fair to say that the situation in Europe is not the same everywhere. In Poland, the wage gap is one of the smaller in the Union. This shows that appropriate solutions and changes in the labour market can bring real res…

As a former athlete and three-time Olympic athlete, I am very happy that in the European Parliament we take up the subject of sport, but also as a mother of three children I believe that sport will defend itself, but above all we should pay attention to sport, or rather the activity and physical culture of our children from an early age. Our biggest challenge is …

From institution to inclusion: an EU action plan for deinstitutionalisation, family- and community-based care (debate)

Dear Commissioner, Dear Mr President, Deinstitutionalization is not a theory, it's concrete. Instead of putting people in an institution, organise a supportive apartment. Instead of a children’s home, a foster family. Socialization instead of isolation. These are courageous decisions to create assisted housing, where people with disabilities can enjoy the independence of choice, at which time they…

Workers' skills and education systems, on the other hand, labour market expectations do not coincide at one point. This is a multifaceted problem.

Dear Mr President, Dear Colleagues, Housing is also a very important topic for the inhabitants of my region. Those living in large cities, such as Krakow or Kielce, but also for residents of tourist destinations such as Zakopane or Krynica. Real estate prices are so high today that buying or even renting an apartment charges an average of 40% of the household budget per month. This is a huge expen…
