What Georgiana spoke about.

Madam President, despite the efforts made at the level of the European Union and the Member States to ensure that citizens can live in safety, organised crime is coming as a scourge capable of undoing, through crime and terror, everything that has been built well before. Europol tells us that drug production and trafficking remains the largest criminal business in the EU, involving almost 40% of active criminal groups. We are therefore facing an alarming increase in the smuggling of toxic substances, waste, hazardous residues with a high potential for risk to the environment and people, and the conflict in Ukraine has also made us more vulnerable in the fight against tobacco smuggling. Organised crime is a form of terrorism and Europe has a duty to prevent and combat any danger to its citizens. The time has come to prioritise the lives and safety of Europeans over others. In order to effectively prevent and combat this phenomenon, two essential things are needed: first, the increase of penalties, and second, the confiscation of the property and money of the persons involved in such activities, because without money and means, the crimes remain only at the stage of intent. The European Union, which opens its doors wide to immigrants, is responsible and responsible for ensuring the safety of its citizens, which is why it must allocate additional funds to equipping and training law enforcement forces in the Member States.

Madam President, dead people, destroyed families, thousands of homes affected, impassable roads, whole villages where children will no longer be able to go to school and where dozens of families have no place to sleep tonight. These people are also Europeans. Romania has been hard-pressed since the aggression against Ukraine began. The market was invaded by Ukrainian grain, which caused immense damage to Romanian farmers. The roads used by Ukrainian trucks have worn out due to outdated tonnage. All this time, whenever Europe needed our involvement and help, we were there. Today, Romania needs the involvement of Europe. Romanian children, like Ukrainian children, have the right to go to school tomorrow. Romanian parents, like Ukrainian parents, have the right to sleep peacefully at night, knowing that they have a roof over their head and food for the children the next day. I stand before you today and tell you that it is time for Europe to treat Romanian citizens, who are European citizens, with the same love and friendship as it does Ukrainian citizens.

Mr President, the European Union is facing an unprecedented challenge: The shortage of labor, while the birth rate is falling. People leave our country to work more and more often outside the EU, and we are forced to import labor from other continents, often unskilled. The explanations for this exodus are many, but I would dwell on an essential one: people's need for housing and the financial impossibility of affording one. Property is what keeps you connected to your country and family, gives you the responsibility to get more involved in the needs of the community, gives you the courage and confidence to start a family and have children. Lack of property, per a contrarioIt makes you independent, but fickle, untied to a particular country, without having the confidence to stay long-term in one place and invest in it, always looking for better elsewhere. If we really care about our young people and we want them to thrive here, in the European Union, to work here, pay taxes here and have children here, then we owe it to them to provide them with conditions, that is affordable housing, with European and national support, because that is the only way we convince them to stay here, at home.
