Need for targeted support to EU regions bordering Russia, Belarus and Ukraine (debate)
Before I give the floor to the Commissioner, I know that there are more speakers who have asked for catch-the-eye, but we have to follow the timetable. We had five minutes and I gave the floor to five speakers. I know it's irritating for some of you who would like to speak, but unfortunately that's how it is today.…

Thank you. The time is over. We have taken the first round of speakers on behalf of the groups and I will now open the blue card option. Please, colleagues, be so kind as to stick to your speaking time, because we have a very, very busy morning here in the Chamber, and if you stick to your speaking time, more people will be able to speak.…

Cryptocurrencies - need for global standards (debate)
Let me just be more specific on the rule for blue cards. The rule I used before was Rule 178(10), and the rule states that you're not allowed to use a blue card to put a question to a person in a group or affiliation you belong to. So that was the reason why I was not allowed to give you the blue card, but feel free to use blue cards for other people than those belonging to your own affiliation. (…

(Diana Iovanovici Şoşoacă, off-mic, asks for a blue card) You are on the speakers' list, so therefore I cannot give you a blue card. It's clear in the Rules.

Geopolitical and economic implications for the transatlantic relations under the new Trump administration (debate)
Mr President! For almost a month, President Trump's interest in Greenland has made headlines around the world. We have all heard them, and therefore I will not reproduce them here. Instead, let me quote the Prime Minister of Greenland, Múte B. Egede, who has made this quite clear. Quote. We are not for sale and we will never be for sale. Denmark's prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, fully supports …

Need to enforce the Digital Services Act to protect democracy on social media platforms including against foreign interference and biased algorithms (debate)
It is possible for everyone in Europe to speak freely and it has never, ever been easier to express your own points of views online on social media. If somebody is taken down, it's not because of the European laws or German laws, it's because of the way, for instance, Facebook has decided to have their community standards. It has never, ever in the history been easier to say what you want, come ou…

Need to enforce the Digital Services Act to protect democracy on social media platforms including against foreign interference and biased algorithms (debate)
Madam President, dear colleagues, the DSA is a very good law. I know this because I negotiated it on behalf of the European Parliament. In that law we have found the right balance. On the one hand we have extremely big freedom of speech but, on the other hand, we also have some responsibilities. The platforms need to take responsibility for their algorithms. If there is a systemic risk against dem…
