Question Time (Commission) – Implementation of the Methane Regulation
Yeah, you're talking about it. Enforcement is primarily the responsibility of the Member States. But what will the Commission do if the Member States fail to fulfil this responsibility, which, in my view, is also part of the problem? Will you use the Commission’s enforcement powers to ensure that the Methane Regulation is actually applied in practice, rather than relying solely on national authori…

Question Time (Commission) – Implementation of the Methane Regulation
Commissioner, They justify delaying the application of the Methane Regulation to imports on energy security grounds. But your own June recommendation states that by fighting leaking systems, venting and flaring, up to 200 billion cubic meters of gas will be released. The International Energy Agency also estimates that around 200 billion cubic meters could be made available worldwide by combating l…

Post-electoral repression in Zambia and the killing of Mutotwe Kafwaya
Madam President, We must not remain silent about what happened after the elections in Zambia. We stand in solidarity with the people of Zambia who stand up for fair elections, citizens' ‑ and human rights. President Hichilema was declared re-elected, while his main competitor Mundubile denounces irregularities and announces to contest the outcome. The day after the election, former minister and op…

Need for an adaptation of the EU legal framework on sustainable biofuels (debate)
Mr President! Can everyone please stop ventilating fake solutions? The EU cannot make the transport sector climate-neutral with the wrong solutions. For years, biofuels have been touted as a green alternative for cars. However, many of these fuels are produced from food crops, promote deforestation, exacerbate pressure on agricultural land and often bring little climate benefits. The illusion of m…

Presentation of the Energy Package (debate)
Mr President! If you rely on fossil fuels, you will feel the consequences directly. Exploding oil prices show once again: Dependence on fossil fuels makes us vulnerable. Electricity remains far too expensive for many people in Germany, in Europe. Millions live in energy poverty. And our Federal Minister for Economic Affairs Reiche, driven by the gas lobby, is steering Germany into a dead end at fu…

Key objectives for the CITES COP20 meeting in Uzbekistan (debate)
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, The protection of endangered species is essential. The root causes of wildlife trafficking – poverty, inequality and exploitation – need to be clearly identified and tackled. The EU must put social justice and community-based nature conservation at the heart of its strategy. The EU needs to engage with CITES on species protection through education and, above all…

UN Climate Change Conference 2025 in Belém, Brazil (COP30) (debate)
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen! We will not solve the climate crisis without fighting inequality. The richest 1% cause more emissions than the poorest 66%. More capitalism cannot solve a problem forced by capitalism. The climate crisis is also a consequence of colonial injustice. The Global South suffers the most, although it has contributed the least to global warming. The EU must live up …
