According to experts' estimates, Ukraine faces the need to export in the next nine months about 50 million tons of cereals last year and this year's harvest, or about five million tons per month.

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Friends and colleagues! I will focus on the CBAM border fee instrument. In a situation of drastic tightening of the EU's climate policy, this is, of course, a logical solution. Protecting the EU market is our responsibility. What is more, we introduce this tax quite carefully, it applies only to some imported goods, we have a transiti…

EU action plan for organic agriculture (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. The Schmiedtbauer report strikes a balance between ecological ambitions and economic realities in EU countries so well that it was adopted in the Committee on Agriculture by acclamation, which I would like to stress. However, the level of organic farming varies greatly from one Member State to another, as has been discussed here. Therefore, …

Guidelines for the 2023 budget – Section III (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. Commissioner, thank you very much. I would like to point out first of all, in my opinion, the most important factor, which we underestimate in relation to the budget for the next year. These are the consequences of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. They are multi-directional. We discussed this yesterday in the Committee on Budgets. This is an issue of impact on the prices o…

While I share the optimism in Mrs Tinagli's report about the recovery of pre-pandemic GDP levels by the end of 2022 in all EU countries, I would like to point out that Russia's aggression against Ukraine, a full-scale war taking place outside the European Union's eastern border, will have a negative impact on the European economy.

Implementation report on on-farm animal welfare (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. Commissioner, I'm sorry. In this debate, I would like to draw attention to three points. Firstly, in my view, the best instrument to encourage improvements in animal welfare is simply financial incentives for farmers. Not the injunctions and prohibitions that are very often proposed. And I hope that the European Commission will ensure that these incentives are included …

The escalating humanitarian crisis on the EU-Belarusian border, in particular in Poland (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. In this debate, it has repeatedly resounded that what is happening on the Belarusian-Polish border is part of the hybrid war waged by the Lukashenka regime and also supported by Putin and his services. There must therefore be real sanctions against both regimes, Commissioner. It cannot be that we will only punish Belarus. We should al…

Farm to Fork Strategy (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. To begin with, a remark that has already been raised here many times. Namely, if the European Commission presents a strategy without assessing the impact on the sectors concerned by the strategy, and above all on farmers' incomes, this is a non-professional action and does not create the conditions for creating good law. Several months have passed and there is still no …
