European Council meetings and European security (joint debate)

Dear Madam President, President-in-Office of the Council, Vice-President of the Commission, Of course, the European Council's decision on this EUR 800 billion is a step in the right direction. However, let us ask whether, three years ago, we could not lift this clause, which prevented 650 billion Member States from investing in the military industry and defence. And also these 150 billion out of SAFE the programmes seem to be subject to excessive conditionality - heard today from the President of the European Commission - which could have the same fate as the Recovery and Resilience Facility. What should Europe do at this crucial moment? In my opinion, convincing quick steps, such as increasing sanctions on the Russian shadow fleet at least to the level of US sanctions against them, not buying Russian liquefied gas, confiscating frozen Russian resources and sending aid to Ukraine, well, at least about 1% of GDP on the military side. Yes, it is not a pleasant position for the US administration, but Europe's best response would be to act as a demonstration, which would show that the only crucial option for us is to maintain (within NATO) a strong security position for the West.

Colleague, I saw you were registered as a catch-the-eye, and I follow these lines. I was so kind. You just came to the room and offered it. But please, next time, make separation between whether you are a blue card or catch-the-eye.

I am informed, taking over the chairing now, that you are not registered in catch-the-eye, as far as I understand. It was decided by my previous colleague Vice-President. And because we are at the time limit, we are delaying the vote. And that's why. It was her decision; I cannot change it. Please understand.
