Madam President, a good compromise is achieved when everyone is contributing and all parties are a little dissatisfied.

Negative trade-related effects of global overcapacity on the Union steel market (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, reducing steel imports is a good thing. Unfortunately, too little too late. Today we are facing a report that is trying to put a patch on a deep wound to the bone. It would have been good if these tariffs had been introduced before the pandemic and maybe this way 100,000 Europeans working in the steel industry would not have lost their jobs. For example, in Roma…

Madam President, the European Investment Bank is a powerful tool that we have at our disposal to stimulate the economy, but we are not using it properly. Unfortunately, as the report also shows, the European Investment Bank Group is now being used rather to promote the Green Deal ideology, which has proved bankrupt for Europe and, more recently, to restart the defence industry for a few Member Sta…

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)

Madam President, I believe that the report in question has a strong progressive, egalitarian background. Yes, all shortcomings in the gender pay gap are relevant. Unfortunately, however, I think two fundamental problems are avoided. On the one hand, certain cultural specificities of some Member States are not properly nuanced - hence false reporting. Russia, for example, has a gend…

Madam President, the use of the mechanism for making European funds conditional on so-called respect for the rule of law is a sample of hypocrisy and obvious forcing.

Mr President, the Gozi report should be taught in logic courses across Europe.

Mr President, continuing to commit to the target of eliminating combustion engine cars by 2035 is a form of forced euthanasia of the automotive industry, especially since Europeans and Americans want engines, gasoline and diesel cars. The European Commission's game of forcing electrification puts at risk 7% of the Union's GDP and around 13.8 million jobs. At this point, 20% fewer cars are already …
