International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the silence you have just heard is the silence of millions of women who live every day: is the silence of fear, humiliation, isolation; It is the silence of those who no longer have a voice to ask for help. But we must break this silence with strength, determination and concrete action. The numbers are terrible: One in three women in Europe has experienced physical or sexual violence in her lifetime. And we know that behind these statistics there are faces, stories, families destroyed: They are mothers, women, sisters, daughters, friends. They are people who demand justice, protection, security and attention. And we representatives of the institutions have and must have the duty to defend them, to be their voice, their strength and their hope. Every year, Parliament organises the Gender Equality Week to take stock of achievements and identify new measures. As Vice-President in charge of the initiative, I invite everyone to take part, contributing ideas and reflections. We must ensure that those who denounce are believed, those who suffer find refuge and those who commit violence pay without mitigating circumstances. We need to educate: Women's dignity is non-negotiable! There are no traditions, religions or ideologies that can justify even a single act of violence. We will not stop our efforts until every woman is free to live without fear.

Closing the EU skills gap: supporting people in the digital and green transitions to ensure inclusive growth and competitiveness in line with the Draghi report (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, the skills gap risks holding back our development and penalising Europe's competitiveness, and gender competitiveness in particular, continues to penalise women's potential, especially in strategic sectors such as technology. According to the European Institute for Gender Equality, closing this gap in STEM sectors could lead to the creation of an additional 1,200,000 jobs. On the occasion of the European Year of Skills, in Italy the Meloni government introduced, with Law 187 of 2023, the National STEM Week, with the aim of raising awareness and stimulating the interest of boys, and especially girls, towards these disciplines. It is a good practice and therefore can inspire the work of other member countries. In Europe, on the other hand, the European Commission has promoted the Pact for Skills, an initiative that we consider important, which calls on public and private organisations to join forces and take concrete actions to improve – especially also retrain – people in Europe. But it is not enough: there is a need for a genuine skills union, in which access to key disciplines is fair and accessible for all, and training for the retraining of less attractive sectors. We must ensure that skills acquired in one country are easily recognised in all Member States, promoting mobility and job inclusion. Only in this way can we face the future with confidence and strengthen competitiveness in Europe.

Proposals for Union acts

Before proceeding to the next point, I would like to announce that, pursuant to Rule 47(2) of the Rules of Procedure of the European Parliament, the Presidency has declared three proposals for Union acts admissible: one concerning the classification of the activity of military personnel, police officers, prison officers and private security guards as dangerous professions in the Union, referred to the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs; one on the need to amend Union legislation to protect households, businesses and the self-employed from rising fuel prices in Europe, referred to the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, as the committee responsible, and to the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy, authorised to deliver an opinion; one on the need to reduce the cost of access to housing, referred to the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, as the committee responsible, and to the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs, which was authorised to deliver an opinion.

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

(IT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, businesses, large and small, workers, parliamentary trade unions throughout the political spectrum, Draghi and Letta are all calling for a decisive simplification of legislation and bureaucracy. The Commission has taken its first steps, but it is necessary to go beyond the treatment of symptoms and act on the causes. In Italy it is estimated that the annual cost of bureaucracy for companies is around 60 billion euros, equal to the average annual salary of almost 2 million workers and 3.3% of GDP. A shadow tax that distorts the allocation of resources and reduces the overall productivity of the economy. We need to reduce redundant rules by 25%, which is a realistic target to be included in the future Industrial Competitiveness Pact. The principle of "Once only" should become the norm, avoiding unnecessary duplication of data for businesses in administrative procedures. The internal market must function better, with more uniform procedures for doing business, investing, innovating and thus fostering growth. The future of Europe depends on our ability to work concretely, listening to those who work on the ground and must work miracles to find resources and be able to make investments.
