2025 Commission report on Kosovo (A10-0166/2026 - Riho Terras)

Madam President, ‘Iovanovici’ is really a name there, in Serbia, near Kosovo. I voted against this report and it is unacceptable and offensive and an unacceptable attack on Serbia's sovereignty and independence to talk about Kosovo. My paternal grandfather was born exactly in Serbia, near Kosovo. Serbia and we, the Romanians, will never accept Kosovo. Neither the Romanian people nor Romania recognized Kosovo. Kosovo does not exist as a state and I kindly ask you to stop referring to Kosovo. Do you want Serbia to join the European Union while you slaughter it? And let me tell you what you have done with this matter, with Kosovo. Including Putin when he said he wanted his Donbas and Luhansk because there is the Kosovo precedent that you broke from Serbia's mother body. Never again in your life allow yourself to speak of Kosovo. Kosovo is Serbia! Kosovo is Serbia!

The resilience of the European transport sector and the need to ensure the supply of essential goods amid ongoing geopolitical instability (debate)

You were talking about the Danube, you were talking about the Black Sea. Unfortunately, Romania no longer has a fleet because it was asked to do so by the European Union. Moreover, we have resilience, the so-called resilience of European transport corridors. From our point of view, it actually means the destruction of Romanian roads and ports, such as Constanta, which has also come to be attacked by Ukrainian drones, after we gave them both money and weapons. Moreover, Romanian carriers are bankrupted by unfair competition and facilities granted to Ukrainian firms. How do you think we could develop under these conditions?

Preparation of the European Council (joint debate)

Mr President, I am part of the delegation with China and I have attended many meetings and many discussions. I think you have not understood that at this moment China holds the highest power and is the world's greatest economic force. Furthermore, it is part of the BRICS, the BRICS which accounts for 49 % of international gross domestic product. You, instead of collaborating and dialogue and having a diplomacy with China, whenever there were meetings, did nothing but ask about Taiwan, which means total disrespect to the Chinese state and total lack of diplomacy. If we were to think about how many Taiwans there are in this world, we might never have a united Europe again. It would be good for you to be interested only in the European Union's relations with China, not to get involved in the internal affairs of a state that are not your problem. Moreover, you refuse dialogue, while all other countries have business with China. You accuse them for nothing, because, unfortunately, the European Union has fallen.

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Madam President, I heard you here today about the problems of the European Union, Ukraine, Russia, America, China. You don't see your problems in your own backyard. You have destroyed the European Union. You put so much money into the Ukrainian-Russian war that you bankrupted the European Union's economy. Your hands are stained with the blood of Ukrainians, Russians, Romanians and all those who died in the Ukrainian-Russian war that started not in 2022, but in 2014, when you made that Maidan revolution and tried to destroy Russia and you kept trying and destroying yourself. Now we have reached the moment when we have in Romania drone attacks by Ukrainians, trying to involve Romania in a war that does not belong to it. The drone from Constanţa had to explode and destroy, to wipe out the entire city of Constanţa, with over 300,000 inhabitants. When are you investigating?

EU-US trade deal (joint debate)

Madam President, I have looked here and I think the Americans are watching, everyone is watching, because this whole plenary is being broadcast live. And what we have noticed is that the European Union does not have specialists in the most important functions. You don't know the economy and unfortunately you don't know how to negotiate a contract either. As a lawyer who has concluded many commercial contracts and negotiated them, I tell you that you never go there to show how weak you are, but how strong you are. And thank God, the European Union would have had something to be proud of if you had not destroyed the European Union. While you massacre Trump, argue with Putin and swear at Xi Jinping, all three of them meet and do business and have destroyed the European Union. In fact, you sabotaged yourself. I attended the St. Petersburg Forum in Russia a week ago and I want to tell you that the largest American delegation attended. Contracts worth tens of billions of dollars were concluded there with the Russians and more than 130 countries participated, while the European Union ...

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

Madam President, I agree with Mrs Grapini and, moreover, we should say that Romania is the most misogynistic country in the European Union. It is very difficult for women to have access not only to employment, but also to European funds. There is a huge rural-urban divide. The Romanian village is neglected ‑ bad infrastructure, the lack of doctors and schools make any attempt at female entrepreneurship an act of heroism, not a simple business. Moreover, we have the EU bureaucracy. Many small producers complain that European rules, labelling standards, processing conditions are designed for large industrialists and are almost impossible to achieve by small entrepreneurs. Competition is uneven. We have supermarkets that actually take absolutely nothing from small entrepreneurs. We bring only imported things, we don't export anything and we don't produce anymore, because we have a government that mocks entrepreneurship and especially women.

Financial literacy and the rise of finfluencers in the context of the savings and investments union (debate)

Madam President, yes, do you want to do financial training in schools? Who's doing it? I would like to know how many Members of the European Parliament have financial training? How many Commissioners in the European Commission have financial training? How many parliamentarians in national parliaments have financial training and how many ministers have financial training? Now you want to censor influencers. As far as finance is concerned, as far as politics is concerned, you never like the opinions of anyone other than yourself, because you have created a dictatorship in the European Union. In fact, it is about total control, as you want to put your fist in the mouth, Finfluencers, because you are not able to have economic and financial policies that allow the development of people and families. This is what you have done with us MEPs, who raise immunities over and above the immunities for freedom of expression and opinion every month. Honestly, aren't you ashamed? Where do you stop with this dictatorship? What to teach people: how to finance their income when you have destroyed an entire economy and impoverished an entire European Union?

Protection of the European Union’s financial interests – combating fraud – annual report 2024 (debate)

Mr President, yes, you are talking here about VAT, about VAT fraud. Do you know that in Romania VAT fraud has been carried out for 36 years by companies that belong to politicians and are defended by the parties in power, the socialists and the liberals, whom you keep defending? You are talking about the fact that the EPP is collaborating with the so-called far right, when you are the far left! But in Romania, the liberals, with the socialists and the so-called opposition, are now filing no-confidence motions and collaborating. This is normal in Russia. Corruption! Are you talking about corruption? Well, let's talk in Romania about how much corruption there is with European funds, but no one is investigating. As no one is investigating Mrs. Ursula von der Leyen for the SMS, the money she gave on the vaccines and the ties in her family. Now, Romania is obliged to pay 600 million euros for a contract that ...

Importance of consent-based rape legislation in the EU (debate)

Mr President, I am horrified to see that there are men who do not understand what a woman is going through in the event of rape. I am a lawyer and I have defended many women and girls who have been raped. Because the problem, yes, comes from education, I tell you, in Romania one of the most misogynistic countries in the European Union. Politicians have the greatest power here. I defended 9-, 10-, 11-year-old girls raped by politicians. It was never possible to conduct a proper investigation, because political relations and political pressures intervened in court. There are court decisions in which, amazingly, a judge considered that a 9-year-old girl was not raped, but at 9 years old she had discernment and then the classification in sexual intercourse with a minor changed. When a woman says no, she's no, when she doesn't say yes, she doesn't touch you. It is unacceptable what a woman can go through, especially in Romania, when she is anathematized by the entire population if she says she was raped. Because it's being walled up by both justice and the police and the population.

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Madam President, you have discriminated against Romanian farmers and destroyed all Romanian agriculture, you have destroyed livestock farming, you have sold us, you have taken our resources, but do you think that all the members of the European Union are equal? No, they're not equal. It is a hypocrisy and a double measure that exists in the European Union. The measures now show that the European Union must be disbanded. Most of the Romanians are asking to leave the European Union, and here I will tell the truth: Roexit! Because you're talking about corruption, you're talking about putting those who are corrupt in jail, and you're saying you're defending those who are telling the truth? You're lying! Because you're looking at my case: you're threatening me and blackmailing me into waiving my parliamentary immunity if I tell the truth. Truth doesn't need immunity. The truth is not under arrest. Long live free Romania, out of the EU!

Combating corruption (debate)

Madam President, I will continue what my colleague, Mr Terheș, was saying. We should all be condemned, because we each promise our voters that we will try to solve their problems in the European Parliament. Moreover, as a lawyer and senator of Romania, I made over 1,600 criminal complaints against Romania's leadership, against the parliamentarians from the Socialists and Liberals. As you can see, no prosecutor has responded to any complaint, because they too are corrupt because of politics. Who did you negotiate this directive with? With those who lead corruption in Romania and who are then sent here, in the European Parliament, by the socialists and liberals, after they stole Romania? Are you talking about institutions that control corruption? We have it! We have the National Anticorruption Department, which destroyed all Romanian entrepreneurship, because it received orders from the European Union...

Implementation of the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (UWWTD) and risks to the security of supply of medicines (debate)

Madam President, I do not know if you know, but Romania has 25% of the European Union's hydrographic network and 40% of the European Union's mineral water network. And yet, they bankrupted everything that meant mineral water and drinking water in Romania. I don't know if you know, but for several months now, the towns of Curtea de Arges and Câmpina in Romania no longer have water, and the smart leaders of Romania, supported by the leadership of the European Union, have put fecal water on all people's facilities, so there is a great danger of serious illnesses. Nobody says anything. As far as medicines are concerned, I would like to ask you why you do not resort to natural medicine, to natural medicine, so that we also have natural treatments here? Indeed, it does not cost much and would bankrupt the entire pharmaceutical industry. With regard to these medicines, I would like to know why people who lost in the pandemic due to experimental vaccination in humans are not compensated.

Energy security, independence and supply in the geopolitical context - ensuring market stability and affordable energy for industry and citizens (debate)

Mr President, I don't know if you know, but Romania is the richest resource-rich country in the entire European Union. Russia is the richest resource-rich country in Europe and the top three in the world. I understand that at this moment there are wars, but these wars are also provoked. In Ukraine it was provoked by the United States in 2014 by the so-called Maidan revolution, supported by the European Union. Now we have reached the country with the most resources in the European Union, Romania, to be the poorest. We have the largest production of oil and gas, but it no longer belongs to us, because it is taken over by the United States of America, Austria, Israel and so on. We don't have anything. More than half of Romania's population has gone abroad. The Neptun Deep project, if you know about it, will be able to deliver the first gas molecules to the European network starting in 2027, so it will be mandatory for the Commission to integrate these resources into the price stability strategy across the bloc and to operationally support the area of the Black Sea maritime security hub, which is now also affected by the war with Iran, because there we have an American military base, Kogalniceanu, which, if bombed, including the Cernavoda nuclear power plant, will explode.

Presidential elections in Honduras, the non-recognition of the outcome by the incumbent administration and the attacks on opposition members of the National Assembly

Madam President, yes, it is very interesting that we are leaning on the elections in Honduras. I understand that it is a very serious situation there and it is a state with great problems, including a mafia system that is implemented at the level of the government and that you are involved in the sovereignty of Honduras, and I wonder why you did not apply the same law and the same method in the case of Romania, where not only the elections were cancelled, but before the elections, the Constitutional Court annulled a candidacy, in this case of the undersigned, because I drove at speed the car or for newspaper articles written by the mainstream media of the Romanian Government. Neither did you care that the elections were rigged in Romania, nor did you care that the people do not recognize Nicusor Dan, the President of Romania, an unconstitutional and illegal president, but who makes all your desires. You don't care that we have a corrupt Mafia government. You're not interested, but you're interested in Honduras, at Mama Ana's. Don't you want to be interested in the countries of Europe?

Online piracy of sports and other live events: urgent need to address unsolved issues (debate)

Mr President, first of all, I want to let you know that that person, that fellow Member who always offends us and complains to us, I want to let you know, Mr President, that I myself have notified the leadership of the European Parliament of the incident against protesters, of the gassing, because I am also a victim and I want someone to pay me compensation. So, I will ask you nicely, as in his case, to repeat the count, just as it was in his case, because you always give him more time than you should. Regarding this issue now, I want to tell you that the piracy you are talking about, you will eradicate it when you will also eradicate corruption at the level of the European Union and corruption at the level of the Romanian leadership. It's a matter that comes naturally when you impoverish the population, and subscriptions cost enormously. You are talking about 300 million euros in damage in Italy, but you are not talking about all the illegalities done behind sports contracts, behind television contracts and the mafia that is related to all the sport and the money that gets out of sport behind the backs of athletes and at the expense of their work. Before you talk about eradicating piracy, look in your own backyard, clean up, clean up politics, first and foremost European. In Romania, everything is actually sold behind the backs of athletes. The Romanian sport has become dusty, and you are talking about piracy. It's natural that they want to see as cheap or free as possible, when they actually have no money, and sport was a pleasure, not a matter of money. Please come back to your senses.
