What Vasile spoke about.

Mr President, democracy operates on the basis of rules and responsibility, otherwise it is chaos. Therefore, I believe that the discussion about TikTok and networks is not only a Romanian business, as it tends to become, but it is a problem of the entire European Union. I would like to say one thing, it is true that TikTok oversimplifies and polarizes political communication, but let's not just blame the platforms for what is happening, for political attitudes or behaviors, because we in politics simplify a lot. And I'll give you an example: We are also divided in Romania, and here in Parliament, into pro-Europeans and sovereignists or patriots. Leaving the label of pro-Europeans means that others are not with Europe or that Europe would have something that is against national interests. Both statements are false, so this is a simplification. That's why I think we need to move to regulation without censorship and without banning networks. Meta, for example, did not comply with EU law. For example, an independent study in Romania showed that there were 25 Facebook pages that were viewed 160 million times and made propaganda for a particular candidate, for candidate Georgescu. I also believe that legislation is really important. We should create a crisis cell at European Union level, from Cybersecurity Agency, working with other countries to see what we have to do in the future. Of course, there must be other regulations, but they will surely come.

Mr President, dear colleagues, in 1940, the Republic of Moldova came under Russian occupation, as did Latvia, Estonia or Lithuania. Today's vulnerabilities of this country are the consequence of this history and of this unfortunate geostrategic position. But today Moldova is on the front line of the war with Russia, along with Ukraine, and we are still behind the front. Social problems, migration, underdevelopment, complicate the situation a lot. However, under the courageous leadership of Maia Sandu and a team of Moldovan politicians, this heroic nation is accelerating reforms and modernization, making remarkable progress. Partnership with the European Union is necessary because it raises living standards, helps modernise and strengthens security. October 20 is very important for the European route of the Republic of Moldova, and today's document represents a gesture of solidarity for a courageous nation that seeks to regain its place in Europe. Moldova is looking to return home, that is, to Europe. Our message is very clear: Dear Moldovans, you are not alone!

Mr President, Commissioner, it is a coincidence that when I first entered this room, 18 years ago, at the microphone and at this tribune, it was the Commissioner of that time, Michel Barnier, who proposed a European civil protection and response force. He also proposed a Civilian Security Council, based on an idea of having 5,000 people containing this force. That didn't happen. We have improved our civil protection systems. I am pleased, Commissioner, to hear that the Commission is thinking about a strategic plan for resilience against natural disasters in the future. I think we need to move on to a different approach, a different thinking. We need to move from solidarity to intelligence, because European territory must be seen as a common infrastructure. Disasters do not take into account borders and I hope that this shift, from the need for solidarity now to the need for intelligence for the future, will also be reflected in the text that we will vote on in the European Parliament.

Mr President, Mr Vice-President, Commissioner, it is a good thing that continuity, that both the old Parliament, and the new European Parliament, and the old Commission, and the new Commission will support Ukraine. We may indeed have lost competitiveness, as the Draghi report tells us, but we must not lose our values and for the European social model, solidarity is the most important value. Romania was and remains one of the most important contributors to supporting Ukraine or, as Mr. Gahler said, to use an expression of him, I delivered more than I said. But it's not just weapons that Ukraine needs. Ukraine also needs electricity. Winter is coming and the Russians will mainly bomb the electrical infrastructure. Commissioner, energy prices in Eastern Europe have risen three times because the unified electricity market is not working very well. Southern and Eastern Europe are cut off from Western Europe. That is why, in order to support Moldova and Ukraine this winter, we need to support Romania, Bulgaria and Greece, which have submitted or will submit an initiative to the European Commission regarding electricity price compensation.
