What Willemien spoke about.

Mr President, our ports are the gates of Europe. Most of our imports and exports flow through ports such as Rotterdam, Antwerp and Hamburg. Without those ports, there are no medicines, no food, no raw materials. Ports are critical infrastructure and vulnerable. We see it with the Strait of Hormuz: a geopolitical crisis and trade routes are under pressure. This vulnerability is also closer to home. After all, who partly manages our port terminals? COSCO and Hutchison, Chinese and Hong Kong state-owned companies. They have significant interests in ports in eight European countries. These are actors for whom we cannot guarantee that they put the European interest first. The military mobility package identifies ports along our corridors as strategic infrastructure, but the current text shows a security gap: we oblige the owners to regulate the protection, but if the owner himself is the risk, that does not solve anything. What we want is a clear line: up to 25% of our strategic port infrastructure may be owned by investors from outside Europe. Because our imports and exports must be able to continue at all times. The market does not regulate our security. It's time to take control of yourself. Are you prepared to take care of this, Commissioner?

Mr President, Commissioner, restoring the ecosystem in the Baltic Sea is complex, but also important, in order to make fishermen and coastal communities more resilient. An integrated approach to fisheries and the area is needed. Account must be taken of the social, cultural and economic value of fisheries, the importance of fisheries for the food system and a future perspective for the sector. Not only mass-oriented, but also small-scale and area-oriented. Not only sharing space, but also sharing space with functions suitable for fishing. Cooperation. In coastal areas, fishing is the basis for the livelihood and identity of thousands of families. That makes working together on a good ecosystem extremely important. Behind every fishing port, everywhere in the European Union, are families, traditions and communities that depend on a living sea.

Mr President, I am in favour of a Europe that gives its citizens and businesses security of life. Unfortunately, this security of livelihood has not been self-evident in the livestock sector for years. Farmers, also progressive, have to deal with enormous uncertainty. Every year new rules are added and farmers in the Member States, including the Netherlands, are struggling with the question whether their company will still exist in a few years. Policy development for new developments such as Renure is taking too long. In this geopolitically unstable time, it is more important than ever for our inhabitants that our food supply is maintained, that farms continue from generation to generation. Sustainability also requires economic sustainability. Businesses can only survive if there is a revenue model. Regulation must be realistic, achievable and affordable. That is why I call here for a stable EU policy for the livestock sector, a policy that ensures that investments in sustainability and innovation can be recouped.
