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

Madam President, thank you very much. And welcome here, Commissioner! 4000 tons of goods. This is what passes through the Port of Gothenburg every hour. 20% of Sweden's total foreign trade. 22,000 people work there. It is an extremely important port. When we talk about the single market, this is our front line. We have a homework to do in the EU, which is about improving regulations and making it …

Opportunities and challenges presented by a comprehensive artificial intelligence strategy for EU trade (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. AI is changing everything right now. It changes how we produce, how we export and how Europe competes. Change in itself is not a problem. The problem is who sets the rules. Right now, the AI market is dominated by a few global tech giants, while SMEs are left behind. Here Europe must be different from others. AI shouldn't just be a tool for the biggest companies …

Single Market: how to move from an incomplete single market to one market for one Europe (debate)

Madam President, thank you very much. There are many benefits to the EU's internal market, but perhaps one of the most positive things is that we do not have tariffs. But just because there are no tariffs doesn't mean all barriers are gone. For many who want to take the step out into Europe, it is still a little difficult, a little expensive and far too complicated to dare. That is what we need to…

2030 Consumer Agenda (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. Dear Commissioner, It's a late debate, but an incredibly important one. The single market is at the heart of European cooperation. For Sweden, an export-dependent country in the north, it is absolutely crucial. It allows our companies to sell around Europe and create jobs both at home and across the Union. It also allows our consumers to feel safe wherever in the…

Protection of minors online (debate)

Madam President, thank you very much. Today we have an important debate. A debate that hopefully leads us to make a historic decision tomorrow. A historic decision that will lead us in the right direction where we will protect our children and young people on social media. A little over a year ago, I was here in my first debate in Parliament. Then I talked about this very issue, about how too many…

Tomorrow is the time to vote for this year's budget 2026. As politicians, it is incredibly important that we protect our common tax resources.

Promoting EU digital rules: protecting European sovereignty (debate)

Madam President, thank you very much. Decisions about the future of Europe should be made in Europe, not in Beijing, not in Washington and not in Moscow. I wish I could have stayed there – because it should be self-evident – but more recently it has become increasingly clear that European autonomy is not something we can take for granted. We see our European sovereignty under threat time and time …

Implementation and streamlining of EU internal market rules to strengthen the single market (debate)

Madam President, thank you very much. Commissioner, thank you very much. Nearly one in four jobs in Sweden is dependent on exports. This includes everything from fitters at Volvo to foresters in Småland. Three quarters of Swedish goods exports go to the EU. It is no exaggeration to say that the EU's internal market is directly crucial for the Swedish economy. At a time when trade has become a poli…

Product safety and regulatory compliance in e-commerce and non-EU imports (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. Welcome, Commissioner, to this incredibly important debate. Last year, 12 million small packages were sent to the EU a day from foreign operators. It's a sick lot. Nine out of ten of these packages come from China, from low-cost companies like Shein and Temu. Not only was it a new record in e-commerce, it was also a new record in the number of dangerous products …

Mr President, thank you very much. The NATO summit in The Hague agreed that 5% of GDP would be invested in our common defence by 2035. It is necessary to equip the whole of Europe and make it strong, but it requires tough priorities. Each Member State must assume its responsibilities. That is why we need to review our common tools that we have at EU level. The European Investment Bank is therefore…

Madam President, thank you very much. The EU Recovery Fund following the coronavirus pandemic was a historic response to a historic crisis. The EU's rapid action with joint loans allowed us to cope with the crisis better than we would otherwise have done. But it was also an exception. Loans are not a long-term solution; on the other hand, they are sound public finances. In practice, loans we take …

High levels of retail food prices and their consequences for European consumers (debate)

Madam President, dear colleagues, one year ago, Europeans went to the polls in order to vote for their representation in this Chamber. One issue stood out in what motivated them when asked, 'Why did you go and vote? The issue was rising prices and the cost of living. In the past three years, retail food prices have increased by 30 %. Today, still, prices are painfully high. For millions of Europea…
