Dus daarom deze vraag: kan de Commissie zich standaard committeren aan het "think small (business) first"-principe in de Europese wetgeving? Daarnaast ben ik geen voorstander van dubbele afspraken, zoals de CSRD en de CSDDD. Daarnaast bestaan de OESO-richtlijnen al jaren, inclusief een handhavingsinstrument via nationale contactpunten. Wat denkt de Commissie ervan om bestaande internationale afspraken, zoals de OESO-richtlijnen, te hanteren als uitgangspunt? Het Omnibus-voorstel is een goede eerste stap, maar er is nog veel werk aan de winkel. Minder rapportages zijn nodig, want het gaat uiteindelijk om vertrouwen in de ondernemers, om innovatie en concurrentiekracht.
O objetivo Ã© que possamos garantir que as geraÃ§Ãµes futuras tenham acesso a Ã¡gua para consumo e tambÃ©m para as vÃ¡rias atividades econÃ³micas, particularmente a agricultura. O sul da Europa e, particularmente, Portugal sofrem atualmente uma elevada escassez de Ã¡gua. No nosso caso, as regiÃµes do Alentejo e do Algarve sÃ£o as mais afetadas. Portugal apresentou ontem a EstratÃ©gia Nacional para a GestÃ£o da Ãgua, que tem por nome Â«Ãgua que uneÂ», que prevÃª resolver a escassez de Ã¡gua, quer para consumo humano quer para outras utilizaÃ§Ãµes. EstÃ¡ previsto um investimento de mais de 5Â milÂ milhÃµes de euros.Â Por isso, espero que a UniÃ£o Europeia seja solidÃ¡ria, que assuma as suas responsabilidades e que ajude os Estados-Membros. Ãgua Ã© vida nos territÃ³rios, Ã¡gua Ã© coesÃ£o social, Ã¡gua Ã© economia, Ã¡gua Ã© seguranÃ§a. Sim, falo da Ã¡gua e da Ã¡gua que nos une na UniÃ£o Europeia.
The corrigenda are available on the plenary webpage. Their titles will be published in the minutes of this sitting.
La RÃ©union peut et doit pouvoir bÃ©nÃ©ficier du Fonds de solidaritÃ© de lâUnion comme du dispositif Restore: le FSUE pour la remise en Ã©tat rapide des bÃ¢timents, le soutien au relogement des familles et les aides dâurgence versÃ©es aux sinistrÃ©s, notamment par les CCAS; le dispositif Restore pour flÃ©cher utilement les fonds du FEDER, du FSE Plus et du Feader vers la reconstruction la plus rapide possible des infrastructures et des Ã©quipements publics, mais aussi pour soutenir les entreprises fortement touchÃ©es. LâaccÃ¨s aux fonds europÃ©ens est souvent rÃ©putÃ© difficile et complexe. LâUnion europÃ©enne, en partenariat avec les pouvoirs publics franÃ§ais, a lÃ lâoccasion de prouver le contraire. Le retour Ã une vie normale sur lâÃ®le de La RÃ©union en dÃ©pend. Ã lâheure oÃ¹ la situation gÃ©opolitique accapare les esprits, il ne faudrait pas oublier notre devoir de solidaritÃ© envers les sinistrÃ©s des rÃ©gions europÃ©ennes qui subissent des catastrophes naturelles, Ã commencer par celles dâoutre-mer. Les Ã©vÃ©nements subis par lâÃ®le de Mayotte sont encore dans toutes les mÃ©moires. Pour les territoires ultrapÃ©riphÃ©riques, Monsieur le Commissaire, simplification, cÃ©lÃ©ritÃ© et efficience.

Dear colleagues, we will start the debate on the Commission statement without the Commission present. I have to say this is really appalling. This is not really a time for us to sit and relax, and I think it is going to be made quite clear to the Commission that it is unacceptable not to have a Commissioner here for this actually really important debate. ÄalÅ¡Ã­m bodom programu je vyhlÃ¡senie Komisie o zniÅ¾ovanÃ­ byrokracie a zjednoduÅ¡ovanÃ­ podnikania v EÃ: prvÃ© sÃºhrnnÃ© nÃ¡vrhy.
The growth facility â which at EURÂ 1.9Â billion for the years 2025 to 2027 is the largest ever financial support package for Moldova â demonstrates that the European Union is also living up to our end of the bargain, and is helping Moldovan people and the country's institutions to prepare to assume the responsibilities of an EU Member State as soon as possible. There is a real urgency to our action. The Commission submitted its proposal for the growth facility, which was modelled on the Western Balkans facility, last year. Since then, the already previously complicated political and economic situation in Moldova has become even more challenging, exacerbated by the energy crisis that was caused by the discontinuation of gas supply by Russia's Gazprom. Meanwhile, the true extent and nature of Russia's brazen interference in Moldova's democratic processes has become increasingly apparent. We do understand the existential nature of these challenges. Therefore, I would like to commend the Commission for the decision to provide emergency energy assistance to Moldova, launching the comprehensive energy strategy. I would also like to underline how swiftly we managed to complete our parliamentary debates on the growth facility, and the interinstitutional negotiations with the Council and Commission. Meanwhile, even despite the unprecedented swiftness of these talks, we managed to strengthen the facility by raising the pre-financing rate that my co-rapporteur already mentioned and increasing the non-repayable component of the facility by another EURÂ 100Â million, to a total of EURÂ 520Â million. I am optimistic that after the adoption of the growth plan, the implementation of the facility will start delivering towards the long-term strategic goals of boosting Moldova's economic competitiveness, and making its institutions and its energy infrastructure more resilient. It will also help the country to further strengthen its ability to withstand and resist attempts by malicious external actors in Russia to interfere in Moldova's democratic processes. But alongside the strategic transformation of Moldova's economy, it is also important for the implementation of the facility to make an immediate positive impact on the Moldovan people's lives. Let us recall that, even before the recent acute energy crisis, Moldova's economy had suffered a lot because of the effects of Russia's aggression against Ukraine. So there is a real urgency, and we need to show that we are truly committed. In that light. I would also like to commend the Polish Presidency, which is working hard to see the opening of the first clusters in the accession negotiations. During the AFET visit to Moldova less than two weeks ago, we saw the magnitude of the challenges, we saw who we are up against, but we also saw the dedication of Moldovan pro-European leaders. I hope that at tomorrow's vote Parliament will once again show our overwhelming support to the legitimate aspirations of the Moldovan people to live in a democratic, prosperous and European country.
The same holds, actually, for the ambition that we had as Commission and Parliament. The Green Deal and the European climate law, those were more than just policies. They formed our vision for a sustainable, innovative and strong Europe. We made a promise to industry, to businesses and to workers, who believed and worked on this vision, that if you innovate, if you invest in green technologies, if you are committed to decarbonise, we will have your back. With stable and predictable legislation, we will help you invest, grow and provide secure jobs that we all need. And now we are here today. I challenge everyone in this room to explain to me how creating simplification helps us form a robust response to China and other global players. I fear that this so-called vision of competitiveness and simplification is not enough, and it distracts us from the real solutions we need, like a market creation for green and digital European technologies. And I cannot stress this enough. Market creation, not deregulation, market creation, not deregulation. That's what we need. That's what we need to create jobs, to grow our economy and really become competitive. By simplification, we somehow believe that the investments that we need will pop up, that they will magically appear. As we say in Dutch, costs always come before the profits. It doesn't mean that there are no rules that we can simplify, but emphasising only on this, only on simplification, will not do the job. And while we focus on this, while we create more uncertainty and step away from our regulatory stability, the world invests in clean tech. China's economy today, its growth is more than 40Â % attributed to green investments, and we are failing ourselves to meet the targets that we set, whether it's for cars or whether it's, for example, when it comes to hydrogen for RepowerEU, our strategy to become less dependence on autocrats outside Europe. I really believe that that is how we could improve our competitiveness, by reaching these targets, by investing in green technologies, by becoming less dependent on energy coming from outside Europe. We have to create this through regulatory stability. We have to create this by growing these sectors within our market. Mazzucato, the famous economist, states that in transitions we should not distinguish between winners and losers, but between those who are willing and those who are not. And I fear that we listen to much to companies that are not willing to change and do not see a future in Europe. And by listening to them, we are ignoring innovative companies that can become future tech leaders. Those companies can use a push. We can use a push by creating a green market so that they can have a foot on the ground. That's the question today. Are we supporting them or are we ignoring them? And with that, not creating competitiveness in Europe.
These requests are referred to the Committee on Legal Affairs.
Ãn ultimii ani, prin activitatea mea din Parlamentul European, am salvat miliarde de euro din fondurile neutilizate, modificÃ¢nd regulamentele europene pentru a faza proiectele europene. Am contribuit la simplificarea regulilor privind accesarea programelor europene Èi am amendat bugetul Uniunii Europene pentru ca aceste resurse sÄ ajungÄ Ã®n regiunea noastrÄ. Dar aceste fonduri nu sunt doar cifre pe hÃ¢rtie. Trebuie sÄ privim Ã®nainte: avem nevoie de o absorbÈie mai bunÄ, mai eficientÄ, mai multÄ flexibilitate Èi o strategie pentru viitor. 100 de miliarde de euro sunt un succes, dar Èi o responsabilitate. Extremismul cautÄ sÄ distrugÄ aceasta oportunitate pentru RomÃ¢nia. Voi continua sÄ lupt pentru ca fiecare euro sÄ fie folosit acolo unde este cel mai necesar pentru romÃ¢ni Èi europeni.
La Commission prÃ©tend simplifier, mais elle ne fait quâexempter temporairement certaines entreprises de rÃ©glementations excessives, sans remettre en cause la logique bureaucratique qui les sous-tend. Qui peut croire que lâon sauvera lâindustrie europÃ©enne avec des formulaires? LâÂ«omnibusÂ» ne change rien au fond du problÃ¨me. Ce problÃ¨me, câest la surrÃ©glementation structurelle, qui asphyxie notre Ã©conomie. Aujourdâhui, la mise en conformitÃ© coÃ»te 3 Ã 4Â % du PIB, et une entreprise europÃ©enne dÃ©pense 2,5Â fois plus en formalitÃ©s quâune entreprise amÃ©ricaine. LâÃ©lÃ©phant dans la piÃ¨ce, câest ce bloc de rÃ©glementations vertes, qui nous prive de croissance. Tant que nous ne remettrons pas Ã plat cette machine bureaucratique, ces ajustements resteront anecdotiques.
Now we have to deliver. And we do. With this EURÂ 1.9Â billion Reform and Growth Facility for Moldova, we support Moldova's path to EU accession. We help to mitigate the challenges that arise from the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine. We help to strengthen Moldova's administration, civil society and judicial system. And we help Moldova to gain independency in their energy supply.Â And on this, the Moldovan Government was quite clear: Moldova wants to build up renewables; Moldova wants to increase energy efficiency; Moldova wants to work on building renovation. In this way, we support the Moldovan Government and we are proud to help prepare Moldova to become a member of the European Union.
Si ces choix se faisaient par rÃ©fÃ©rendum, les contribuables dâEurope diraient non Ã vos dÃ©lires. Pourquoi spolier les citoyens europÃ©ens Ã travers des subventions non remboursables et des prÃªts Ã un pays dont le PIB par habitant reste Ã 29Â % de la moyenne des pays de lâUnion? Croyez-vous rÃ©ellement que la Moldavie pourra rembourser le volet composÃ© de prÃªts? Câest un vÃ©ritable gaspillage des ressources europÃ©ennes. Nous nous y opposerons et nous nous opposerons aussi Ã la candidature de la Moldavie Ã lâUnion europÃ©enne, tout comme Ã lâÃ©largissement aux Balkans et Ã lâUkraine, qui ne seraient en plus pas contributeurs nets au budget de lâUnion. Ã la catastrophe financiÃ¨re sâajouterait aussi une catastrophe agricole.
La fel ca Èi alte state, nici RomÃ¢nia nu a reuÈit sÄ atragÄ toÈi banii previzionaÈi, deÈi au fost operate la nivel guvernamental o serie de eforturi de optimizare a procesului de implementare Èi suntem preocupaÈi sÄ folosim toÈi banii ca sÄ asigurÄm redresarea economicÄ Èi coeziunea socialÄ. AÈadar, resimÈim nevoia unei abordÄri mai adaptabile pentru acest mecanism. Concret, propun Comisiei prelungirea calendarului PNRR cu Ã®ncÄ doi ani, ca sÄ ne ducem la bun sfÃ¢rÈit toate angajamentele.
Il pacchetto Omnibus, oggi, Ã¨ un attacco ai progressi della scorsa legislatura su sostenibilitÃ sociale e ambientale. La semplificazione Ã¨ solo apparente: le proposte sono affrettate e creano incertezza giuridica. Questa deregolamentazione tocca anche l'ambito digitale, come la scelta sbagliata di ritirare la proposta di direttiva sulla responsabilitÃ civile per danno da intelligenza artificiale. Ci troviamo cosÃ¬ con un sistema che non offre abbastanza tutele legali ai cittadini e che confonde le piccole e medie imprese. L'assenza di regole chiare non crea innovazione. Dobbiamo lavorare per rendere l'Europa piÃ¹ competitiva con la qualitÃ del lavoro, delle competenze, dei prodotti, e non fare una rincorsa verso il basso a danno dei nostri lavoratori, imprenditori e territori. Sicuramente, qui dal Parlamento europeo, ci impegneremo per impedire queste scelte contrarie ai veri interessi europei.
Propun, Ã®n acest sens, introducerea unui paÈaport european pentru radioizotopi medicali, integrat Ã®n dosarul digital european de sÄnÄtate. Acest instrument digital ar permite identificarea rapidÄ Èi discretÄ a pacienÈilor trataÈi recent cu radioizotopi, simplificÃ¢nd controalele de securitate Èi protejÃ¢nd totodatÄ confidenÈialitatea datelor personale.
JeÅli naprawdÄ chcemy uwolniÄ biznes, potrzebujemy piÅy ÅaÅcuchowej, takiej, jak ma prezydent Milei, a nie noÅ¼yka do papieru. JeÅ¼eli mÃ³wimy o harmonizacji regulacji, to oznacza, Å¼e zamiast trzech dokumentÃ³w bÄdziemy mieli jednÄ , ale za to napisanÄ bardzo maÅÄ czcionkÄ . To nie jest Å¼adne rozwiÄ zanie. Komisja Europejska mÃ³wi o uproszczeniach, ale jednoczeÅnie wprowadza i podtrzymuje Zielony Åad, ESG i kolejne normy. To tak, jakby kazaÄ komuÅ biec sprint z ciÄÅ¼kim plecakiem peÅnym kamieni, ale obiecaÄ mu, Å¼e dostanie nowe sznurÃ³wki. To nic nie zmieni. JeÅ¼eli godzimy siÄ na to, Å¼e z ESG ma byÄ zwolnione 80% firm, to dlaczego nie zwolniÄ pozostaÅych 20%? Po co w ogÃ³le firmy majÄ raportowaÄ te wszystkie rzeczy? To jest kompletnie zbÄdny ciÄÅ¼ar i powinniÅmy zaczÄ Ä od zawieszenia tego, Å¼eby pokazaÄ, Å¼e przynajmniej mÃ³wimy realnie o jakiejÅ deregulacji. Bo problemem nie jest zÅoÅ¼onoÅÄ przepisÃ³w, problemem jest ich liczba. Nie potrzebujemy przepisÃ³w o tym, jak upraszczaÄ przepisy. Potrzebujemy, Å¼eby Unia Europejska przestaÅa tworzyÄ nowe przepisy. JuÅ¼ teraz mamy wszyscy dosyÄ papierologii, a uzyskujemy kolejne obowiÄ zki. Z tym sobie poradzÄ duÅ¼e korporacje, ale nie poradzÄ sobie wszystkie maÅe przedsiÄbiorstwa, ktÃ³re po prostu z tymi obowiÄ zkami nie wyrabiajÄ . Musimy powaÅ¼nie siÄ wziÄ Ä za ciÄcie regulacji, za zaprzestanie tworzenia nowych przepisÃ³w i wtedy bÄdziemy rzeczywiÅcie mÃ³wiÄ o zdejmowaniu tej czerwonej taÅmy z Unii Europejskiej.
Pe 6 decembrie anul trecut, a avut loc un fapt fÄrÄ precedent Ã®n Uniunea EuropeanÄ, Èi anume anularea alegerilor prezidenÈiale din RomÃ¢nia. Pe 9 martie anul acesta, candidatul care avea cele mai mari Èanse sÄ cÃ¢Ètige alegerile prezidenÈiale Èi care a cÃ¢Ètigat primul tur de scrutin de anul trecut, a fost interzis pentru o nouÄ candidaturÄ, i s-a interzis sÄ candideze din nou. MÃ¢ine-poimÃ¢ine vor fi interzise probabil Èi partidele care nu corespund noii politici a RomÃ¢niei, care a luat-o pe un drum al dictaturii. Ce face UE Ã®n aceastÄ situaÈie? Comisia EuropeanÄ nu are niciun fel de reacÈie. Sunt oficiali care acoperÄ acest abuz, iar reacÈiile Statelor Unite ale Americii sunt ignorate pur Èi simplu de cÄtre autoritÄÈile din RomÃ¢nia. VÄ atrag atenÈia cÄ astÄzi se Ã®ntÃ¢mplÄ Ã®n RomÃ¢nia, iar mÃ¢ine se poate Ã®ntÃ¢mpla Ã®n oricare ÈarÄ a Uniunii Europene.
To deliver on our ambitious goals, we must continue this positive engagement and work together. We want to move forward swiftly, without delay and with the co-legislators' support. Going forward, I would like to highlight that each Commissioner will present an annual progress report on implementation and enforcement to the respective Parliament committee. The reports will present progress towards key policy objectives, enforcement and simplification actions and take stock of stakeholder dialogues, stress tests and reality checks. We also wish to work closely with you to deliver fast progress on simplification measures. To this end, I would like to emphasise that this legislation is urgent and requires prioritisation, in particular our 'stop the clock' proposal contained in the first Omnibus proposal on sustainability reporting. This is why we identify them as such in our work programme and are consulting actively with Parliament on them and would encourage you to handle them with priority. We also hope to count on your support to minimise additional administrative burdens introduced during the legislative process. For this purpose, we will put forward a simple methodology that could help you assess the impacts of significant amendments. We also believe that it is important that each institution sets the resources to deliver on this commitment in our existing interinstitutional agreement. To conclude, honourable Members, as you can see, this Commission is firmly committed to improving implementation and delivering simpler and more cost-efficient rules. We hope to count on your support so that we can deliver fast and sustained changes on the ground in the coming months and years.
However, Moldova still faces substantial external challenges. The ongoing threats from Russia, including the instability in the region of Transnistria, continue to jeopardise Moldova's sovereignty and European aspirations. Despite these pressures, Moldova has remained determined, pushing forward with its reforms and advancing EU standards with unwavering resolve. And the growth facility is not just a financial tool, it is a clear message of our united support for Moldova.
Je ne sais pas si la commissaire est en train dâavoir des rÃ©unions avec des lobbys ou avec des banques pour continuer Ã dÃ©rÃ©guler le devoir de vigilance, mais je pense quâon ne peut pas avoir de dÃ©bat aussi important que celui-ci sans la prÃ©sence de la Commission europÃ©enne. Aussi, je vous demanderai sâil est possible dâenvisager de reprogrammer ce dÃ©bat, pour sâassurer que la Commission europÃ©enne sera prÃ©sente et que, au bout dâun moment, elle arrÃªte de nous manquer de respect, comme elle lâa fait Ã de trop nombreuses reprises, malheureusement.
Let me express the European Commission's unwavering solidarity with our fellow Europeans in RÃ©union and Mayotte. These regions are on the frontline of climate change, facing extreme weather events and their devastating impacts. As a Union, we are committed to assisting in their recovery from the current disasters. At the same time, we stand ready to support them in building resilience, improving preparedness and adapting. In immediate terms, the European Union can offer support upon request from the French authorities. For example, the Copernicus Emergency Management Service has been instrumental in providing satellite-based damage assessments, ensuring a rapid and effective response. In addition, the European Union Civil Protection Mechanism enables swift coordination of aid, including the deployment of disaster response experts and critical equipment. We have already demonstrated the effectiveness of this mechanism in Mayotte. Five European Union Member States â Belgium, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and Sweden â responded swiftly to Cyclone Chido, providing essential emergency supplies such as family tents and medical shelters. This is European solidarity in action. Concrete, practical support when it is needed most. However, beyond immediate assistance, our focus must also be on long-term resilience. First, we are mobilising financial resources to aid recovery efforts. The European Regional Development Fund and the European Social Fund Plus are key instruments for reconstruction. The RESTORE regulation â which Vice-President Fitto had the pleasure of discussing with many of you â is allowing major flexibilities for Mayotte. The European Union Solidarity Fund, established as a post-disaster relief instrument, stands ready to provide financial support. Last Friday, France submitted an application to the European Union Solidarity Fund regarding the damage caused by Cyclone Chido in December 2024. The Commission will now proceed with an assessment of the application. In the longer term, the Commission is currently working on the first European climate adaptation plan to enhance preparedness and protection for our communities. This is being developed alongside the preparedness Union strategy, which will enable a more proactive approach to crisis management across the European Union. Among the key risks identified are climate change, extreme weather events and environmental degradation, all of which demand our urgent attention. Second, disaster risk management is a key priority under cohesion policy, allowing Member States to allocate resources according to their specific risks. A total of 21 Member States, including France, have planned direct investments in disaster risk management, with a total of EURÂ 14.4Â billion allocated between 2021 and 2027. These investments focus on prevention and preparedness, including nature-based solutions that not only reduce risks but also offer wide environmental and societal benefits. The mid-term review of cohesion policy will also provide Member States with an opportunity to allocate additional resources to meet emerging needs. For every euro invested in disaster prevention, the return in avoided recovery costs can range from 2 to 10 euros. These investments are already making a difference: by strengthening resilience, we are reducing the flood risk for over 40 million people and lowering wildfire vulnerability for over 130 million people. And third: beyond financial support, cohesion policy promotes climate adaptation through nature-based solutions and the development of resilient infrastructure. To ensure the effectiveness of investments, Member States intending to invest in risk management are required to submit risk management plans guiding their decisions. This is a precondition for receiving cohesion policy support. Additionally, under the current programming period, all EU-funded infrastructure projects must undergo a climate-proofing assessment. This ensures climate neutrality and resilience, aligning with the 'Do No Significant Harm' principle. To support these efforts technical assistance is available. Honourable Members, cohesion policy will continue to strengthen the resilience of our Member States and regions, reducing their vulnerability to climate change and future disasters. Let me assure you that the Commission remains fully committed to supporting disaster risk management efforts and enhancing the European Union's resilience to large-scale disasters. Together, through solidarity and strategic investment, we can build a safer and more resilient future for all.
Europa sigue enredada en su propia telaraÃ±a de normativas mientras que la industria china avanza con agilidad y sentido prÃ¡ctico. En lugar de crear un entorno flexible para la innovaciÃ³n y la inversiÃ³n, seguimos aÃ±adiendo mÃ¡s reglas, mÃ¡s condiciones, mÃ¡s obstÃ¡culos... Y, mientras tanto, nuestras empresas pagan el precio en forma de pÃ©rdida de competitividad, deslocalizaciÃ³n y destrucciÃ³n de empleo. Un ejemplo claro es la reciente normativa sobre la prohibiciÃ³n definitiva de la venta de motores de combustiÃ³n para el 2035, que pone en jaque a la industria automotriz europea. Esta imposiciÃ³n estÃ¡ empujando a nuestras empresas al cierre. Es hora de devolver la libertad a nuestras empresas y dejar de castigar al progreso con burocracia.
Pasti mora skrajno nedemokratiÄni cordon sanitaire. In nedopustna je zloraba pravosodja, da se nekomu onemogoÄi kandidaturo na volitvah. Potrebujemo popolno svobodo govora in spoÅ¡tovanje volilnih odloÄitev ljudstva. Potrebujemo vrnitev k pravim vrednotam. To so krÅ¡Äanske vrednote. Bog vas Å¾ivi, Bog Å¾ivi Evropo. Bog Å¾ivi mojo domovino, Slovenijo.
Je veux saluer la dÃ©cision de la prÃ©sidente du conseil rÃ©gional de La RÃ©union, HuguetteÂ Bello, dâactiver le fonds Restore, que jâai eu lâhonneur de dÃ©fendre ici, devant ce Parlement, en tant que rapporteur, et qui va permettre de mobiliser immÃ©diatement 100Â millionsÂ dâeuros: 100Â millionsÂ dâeuros pour venir en aide aux familles qui ont perdu leur maison, rÃ©parer les routes dÃ©truites et pouvoir rÃ©parer les infrastructures endommagÃ©es. Je veux aussi saluer les modifications que nous avons apportÃ©es au Feader, qui va permettre de venir immÃ©diatement en aide aux agriculteurs en leur attribuant 40Â 000Â euros par exploitation agricole sinistrÃ©e. Pour conclure, Monsieur le PrÃ©sident, je veux dire que ces catastrophes naturelles nous rappellent le devoir que nous avons de continuer Ã agir contre le rÃ©chauffement planÃ©taire, et que nous devons placer les Ã®les particuliÃ¨rement fragiles au cÅur de la politique dâadaptation au rÃ©chauffement climatique. Je veux terminer en disant aux RÃ©unionnaises et aux RÃ©unionnais que je salue leur courage et leur rÃ©silience. Ils se tiennent debout, et câest ainsi quâils pourront se relever.
Wenn aber der Ruf der EuropÃ¤ischen Union bei den eigenen UnionsbÃ¼rgerinnen undÂ âbÃ¼rgern Schaden nimmt aufgrund dieser Ãberregulierung, dann ist es hÃ¶chste Eisenbahn, dass gehandelt wird. Die EuropÃ¤ische Kommission muss verstehen, dass der Weg der vergangenen Periode der Holzweg war. Es war falsch, was gemacht wurde. Das Lieferkettengesetz war falsch, es hat nicht meine Zustimmung bekommen hier im EuropÃ¤ischen Parlament. Jetzt, mit der WortschÃ¶pfung Omnibus, soll es dazu kommen, dass dereguliert wird, dass Unternehmen frei arbeiten kÃ¶nnen, dass der europÃ¤ische Wirtschaftsmarkt sich erholen kann und dass es Zukunft gibt fÃ¼r Ãsterreichs und Europas Unternehmen und Europas Arbeitnehmer.
Comme pour Mayotte aprÃ¨s Chido, lâÃtat franÃ§ais doit demander la mobilisation du Fonds de solidaritÃ© de lâUnion europÃ©enne pour aider La RÃ©union Ã reconstruire. Nous devons aussi activer des mesures Restore pour rÃ©parer aujourdâhui, mais surtout pour prÃ©parer demain: indemniser les pertes agricoles et soutenir les filiÃ¨res dans leur reprise dâactivitÃ©, reconstruire en mieux pour protÃ©ger davantage les populations, et permettre Ã lâÃ®le dâaccÃ©lÃ©rer son adaptation aux nouvelles rÃ©alitÃ©s climatiques. Au-delÃ de lâurgence immÃ©diate, cette catastrophe nous rappelle une fois de plus quâil est impÃ©ratif de mettre en place une politique europÃ©enne plus ambitieuse pour nos rÃ©gions ultrapÃ©riphÃ©riques, qui sont en premiÃ¨re ligne face au dÃ©rÃ¨glement climatique. Nous devons renforcer nos capacitÃ©s dâanticipation, dâadaptation et de reconstruction en investissant durablement dans des infrastructures rÃ©silientes, des dispositifs dâalerte plus performants et des mÃ©canismes de soutien plus rÃ©actifs. Face Ã ce drame, la solidaritÃ© europÃ©enne ne doit pas Ãªtre un vÅu pieux, mais une rÃ©ponse concrÃ¨te. Aux RÃ©unionnaises et aux RÃ©unionnais nous ne devons pas offrir notre seule compassion, mais lâassurance que lâUnion ne laissera pas tomber ses rÃ©gions ultrapÃ©riphÃ©riques, Ã commencer par lâÃ®le de La RÃ©union.
I numeri parlano da soli: 80 miliardi di euro l'anno spesi solo dalle piccole e medie imprese italiane per adempiere a procedure amministrative. Se consideriamo anche l'impatto sulle famiglie e sulle aziende, la cifra supera i 225 miliardi di euro: l'Europa non puÃ² permetterselo; l'Italia non puÃ² permetterselo. Il primo pacchetto Omnibus rappresenta un riconoscimento tardivo ma necessario. PerchÃ© accorgerci solo oggi che bastava alzare la soglia da 250 a 1000 dipendenti per escludere l'80% delle imprese dall'applicazione della direttiva CSRD sulla rendicontazione di sostenibilitÃ ambientale? La burocrazia Ã¨ come un dazio invisibile: non si paga alla dogana ma ogni giorno pesa sulle imprese, rallenta gli investimenti e blocca la crescita. Il primo Omnibus ritengo che abbia aperto una strada. Ma non bastano le intenzioni: Ã¨ il momento di trasformare le parole in azioni concrete.
Erst einmal zuvor, liebe Kommissarin: Das ist ein extrem schlechter Stil. Die Tinte von dem Gesetz ist noch nicht mal trocken. Es gibt keinerlei Erfahrung mit diesem Gesetz, ob es Ã¼berhaupt zur BÃ¼rokratie beitrÃ¤gt. Unternehmen, die wenden sich an mich und sind total verunsichert. Die haben investiert, die haben Systeme umgebaut. Die BÃ¼rgerinnen und BÃ¼rger schreiben mir: Wir wollen keine Kinderarbeit in unserem Kaffee, wir wollen keine Umweltverbrechen in unseren Textilien, und die EU hat uns das garantiert. Und jetzt so ein kurzfristiges, undurchdachtes Hin und Her. Das zerstÃ¶rt Vertrauen in EUâGesetzgebung. Und jetzt zweitens zum Inhalt: Die Kommission hatte angekÃ¼ndigt, Berichtspflichten zurÃ¼ckzuschrauben. Ja, wir brauchen Entlastungen insbesondere fÃ¼r kleine und mittelstÃ¤ndische Unternehmen. Aber dieser Vorschlag ist keine Entlastung, es ist keine einfache Reduktion von Berichtspflichten. Dieser Vorschlag ist eine massive Deregulierung, die die Ziele des Gesetzes gefÃ¤hrdet. Was hat es denn mit Berichtspflichten zu tun, wenn die zivilrechtliche Haftung gestrichen wird? Was hat es mit Berichtspflichten zu tun, wenn BuÃgelder gesenkt werden? Was hat es mit Berichtspflichten zu tun, wenn Unternehmen nur noch den ersten Zulieferer prÃ¼fen mÃ¼ssen, wo doch die meisten Menschenrechtsverletzungen am Anfang der Lieferkette passieren? Das ist mit uns GrÃ¼nen nicht zu machen. Vereinfachung ja, aber keine Deregulierung. In dem Sinne werden wir nachverhandeln.
TambiÃ©n se hablarÃ¡ de regiones ultraperifÃ©ricas cuando discutamos maÃ±ana la Directiva sobre retorno, porque son regiones de frontera exterior que, en todo caso, ponen de manifiesto âcomo sucede cuando discutimos la catÃ¡strofe en la isla de la ReuniÃ³n y la necesidad de especializar la respuesta de emergencia y de protecciÃ³n civil en regiones cada vez mÃ¡s expuestas a fenÃ³menos climÃ¡ticos extremosâ que tenemos una base jurÃ­dica especial para proteger a aquellas regiones especialmente vulnerables que son frontera exterior de la UniÃ³n Europea. Comisaria, ese es el hilo conductor y, por tanto, ha de haber compromiso con las regiones de frontera exterior y con las regiones ultraperifÃ©ricas en todos los capÃ­tulos definitorios de la UniÃ³n Europea porque, si queremos reformular la polÃ­tica europea, no podemos ignorar que se retrata donde mÃ¡s se necesita: en las regiones de frontera.
Yet their greatest threat is Russia. The terrorist state does not only focus on Ukraine. No. They are trying their best to destabilise Moldova, an EU candidate country. This is why our job is to ensure that not a single cent of this facility benefits those who seek to undermine Moldova's sovereignty. While the facility is a positive step, the ultimate goal is to ensure long-term stability and prosperity in the region. Moldova's future lies in Europe, where democracy and security prevail.
Aquella agenda ideolÃ³gica resultaba ser un lastre para nuestras empresas y la competitividad europea. Aun asÃ­, este paquete Ã³mnibus no supondrÃ¡ la eliminaciÃ³n de aquellas trabas. Lo que se estÃ¡ haciendo es aplazar los problemas. Que nadie piense que el consenso de populares y socialistas va a retractarse de la oportunidad de llevar todos esos disparates hasta el final. Lo que necesitan las empresas europeas es mÃ¡s libertad, menos impuestos, menos burocracia, menos regulaciÃ³n y acabar con la hiperinflaciÃ³n legislativa. Solo asÃ­ se crece y se genera empleo. Si Europa pretende ocupar el lugar en el mundo que merece, lo primero, lo mÃ¡s aconsejable, es que los emprendedores europeos no se encuentren en la UniÃ³n Europea con El castillo de Kafka, que es la gran pesadilla de la modernidad, que toma forma de burocracia absurda, infinita y desalentadora, como esta casa.
Voor onze bedrijven schiet het helemaal niet op. Zij zinken steeds verder weg in een oceaan van regels, formulieren en verplichtingen. Wat we echt nodig hebben, is niet een "omnibus", maar een kettingzaag. Massale deregulering, het afschaffen van overbodige EU-agentschappen, het mes in de ambtenarij: niet pappen en nat houden en procedures, maar snijden, schrappen en slopen.
These decisions will be set out in the minutes of today's sitting and take effect on the date of this announcement.
We as S&D support this. We engage in simplification, and we want to better protect SMEs from multinationals putting their obligations on them. But â surprise! â if you really look at the package, you can see that quite a few of these proposals don't deliver on simplification. And Omnibus: I think the term is to maximise people's confusion because they don't know what an 'omnibus' is here. If you look at these four very different legal proposals, you will find out that these are legal proposals we worked on. We found compromises in this House. We found majorities in the last mandate. If you look at two of these four omnibus packages â especially if you look at the due diligence proposals â it is pure deregulation. It is not simplification. And it's not rational proposals for simplification: it affects real people. You're talking about growth and jobs; we are talking about growth and good jobs, also for the fruit picker from Morocco, also for the child that has to dig minerals or the transport worker that works here and delivers our products.Â These proposals were written by multinationals, by business lobbyists that lobbied for that for a long time. And EPP, MrÂ TobÃ©, instead of talking with the other political groups, like S&D, like Renew and the Greens, you cowboy-like march through without any talking to come up with a fast procedure here. But I think the art of doing law in Europe was finding good compromises. It was not the cowboy style of marching through and just push, push, push without having good legislation. Because what good legislation can come out of this â without any consultation, without any legal assessments here â to march through? I have to say, MrÂ TobÃ©, but also to MrÂ Weber, it has consequences if you leave how we did legislation in the past and you want to do it with the far right in this House. You have the choice: to negotiate with us for simplification, for better protecting SMEs, or you march through with the right here, but this will have consequences for the whole legal term. In this sense, I hope you come to your senses.
Estes dÃ©fices, de facto, existem. Mas hoje quero falar-vos de excessos: a Europa tem excesso de regulaÃ§Ã£o, de percentagens e de debate inconsequente. Nos Ãºltimos anos, o PPE, o PSD e eu prÃ³pria temos alertado para o excesso regulatÃ³rio que estrangula a capacidade das empresas europeias de investir, criar empregos e gerar riqueza. Finalmente, temos relatÃ³rios que nos dÃ£o razÃ£o e um ambiente polÃ­tico que nos dÃ¡ â a todos â a oportunidade de fazer diferente. Por outro lado, hÃ¡ excesso de percentagens no discurso polÃ­tico. Falamos de 99,8Â % de PME na Europa, esquecendo que isto representa 26 milhÃµes de empresas. Referimo-nos a 52Â % de valor acrescentado das PME, mas esquecemo-nos de que, por detrÃ¡s, estÃ£o 90 milhÃµes de trabalhadores. NÃ³s nÃ£o temos de decidir para as percentagens, temos de agir para as pessoas. Finalmente, temos excesso de debate inconsequente. Um debate alimentado por uma esquerda que acusa a ComissÃ£o de querer matar o Green Deal quando foi a mesma presidente da ComissÃ£o quem o lanÃ§ou e por uma extremaâdireita queÂ na Europa sÃ³ vÃª o Ãºnico alvo para alimentar a sua propaganda. NÃ³s aqui estamos, como sempre estivemos, no espaÃ§o da moderaÃ§Ã£o. Naquele espaÃ§o que aprovou o Green Deal e que quer libertar recursos para as empresas o poderem cumprir. O espaÃ§o que quer que as empresas invistam e criem emprego e nÃ£o se percam em burocracias. O espaÃ§o que quer simplificar a vida a quem gera riqueza e facilitar a vida de quem trabalha. To conclude, Ms Bischoff and dear Pascal, the EPP is ready to work with everyone â with everyone. We are just not ready to destroy whatever is left of our European competitiveness.
Are there any comments? If not, the minutes will be deemed approved.
Dar nu trebuie sÄ creÄm noi inegalitÄÈi sau sÄ penalizÄm tocmai antreprenorii care au respectat deja standardele europene. Ãn propunerea Omnibus vedem mÄsuri utile, cum ar fi reducerea birocraÈiei pentru IMM-uri sau facilitarea achiziÈiilor publice pentru companiile europene, dar vedem Èi riscuri majore. DacÄ eliminÄm dintr-odatÄ raportÄrile pentru multe companii, ce facem cu firmele care deja au investit Ã®n aceste standarde? DacÄ schimbÄm regulile de la un an la altul, ce garanÈie mai oferÄ Europa investitorilor? Cine a greÈit: Comisia din mandatul precedent sau cea din mandatul actual? Cine suportÄ costurile? Avem nevoie de o tranziÈie echilibratÄ care sprijinÄ IMM-urile. Europa trebuie sÄ fie un model de predictibilitate, nu de reguli care vin Èi pleacÄ peste noapte. Da, simplificÄm, dar sÄ nu introducem noi soluÈii care riscÄ sÄ afecteze economia noastrÄ. Trebuie sÄ pÄstrÄm valorile sociale Èi totodatÄ trebuie sÄ ajutÄm firmele sÄ creascÄ. Ãn acelaÈi timp, trebuie sÄ spun: nu trebuie sÄ facem un pas Ã®napoi Ã®n materie de responsabilitate.
We must bolster Moldova's resilience now. This is about more than financial aid. It is about resilience, reforms and Moldova's EU path. Strengthening institutions, independent media and electoral integrity must be immediate, not gradual. The first payout is set at 20Â %, but in this critical moment, that's not enough. We should amend the plan and increase it by an additional 5Â %. Moving faster and further sends a clear message: Moldova belongs in Europe, free from malign influence.

ÃnsÄ, doamnÄ comisarÄ, vreau sÄ ÈtiÈi, Republica Moldova este singurul stat aflat Ã®n imediata vecinÄtate a Uniunii Europene, unde peste jumÄtate din cetÄÈenii sÄi sunt deja cetÄÈeni ai Uniunii Europene. Deci avem toatÄ legitimitatea pentru a ne preocupa Ã®n mod constant de viitorul Republicii Moldova, s-o sprijinim Ã®n faÈa provocÄrilor care vin dinspre Kremlin Ã®n mod constant. De asemenea, este foarte bine cÄ acordaÈi o atenÈie sporitÄ regiunii ocupate Ã®n mod ilegal de cÄtre armata FederaÈiei Ruse de mai bine de 30 de ani. Este important ca Republica Moldova sÄ trÄiascÄ Ã®n pace Èi sÄ beneficieze de suportul Uniunii Europene.
(Parliament rejected the request) So the agenda is unchanged. We move now to a request by the ESN Group â for Wednesday as well â which has requested that a Commission statement on 'Presidential elections in Romania, particularly the Constitutional Court's ruling of 8Â March' be added as the second point in the afternoon. I give the floor toÂ Christine Anderson to move the request.

Es una amenaza comercial muy grave, porque esta guerra arancelaria tampoco tiene en Europa quiÃ©n la defienda, seÃ±ora comisaria. Â¿QuÃ© estÃ¡ haciendo la UniÃ³n Europea para potenciar sus propios astilleros y la industria auxiliar local? Nada. Desde el BNG hemos defendido durante muchos aÃ±os que se potenciara y apoyara la industria europea con ayudas pÃºblicas. En el caso de la industria galega, hemos defendido que da trabajo a muchos miles de trabajadores y esta industria ha sufrido recortes, reconversiones, limitaciones de producciÃ³n y competencia desleal. Y, el Ãºltimo clavo que faltaba, la imposiciÃ³n de aranceles a una industria que es exportadora. Â¿QuÃ© va a hacer la UniÃ³n Europea para defender al sector del metal?
Immerhin wurde uns im Haushaltsausschuss des Parlaments eine Studie prÃ¤sentiert, der zufolge die Aufnahme der drei ehemaligen Sowjetrepubliken Moldau, Georgien und Ukraine die Union an die Grenzen ihrer Belastbarkeit fÃ¼hren wÃ¼rde. Ohne einen dramatischen Anstieg der Zahlungsverpflichtungen der Mitgliedstaaten oder drastische KÃ¼rzungen bei der Gemeinsamen Agrarpolitik oder den KohÃ¤sionsfonds wird sich das nicht machen lassen. Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, angesichts ohnehin schon wachsender Spaltungstendenzen innerhalb der Union gefÃ¤hrden wir mit diesen ErweiterungsplÃ¤nen die Zukunft unserer Union. Das sollten wir nicht tun.
Cette situation tragique, force est de le constater, ne relÃ¨ve plus de lâexceptionnel. Les catastrophes naturelles font dorÃ©navant partie de notre quotidien, bouleversÃ© par les consÃ©quences du changement climatique. En particulier, les rÃ©gions ultrapÃ©riphÃ©riques, de par leurs caractÃ©ristiques gÃ©ographiques, sont en premiÃ¨re ligne face au changement climatique. Elles nous Ã©clairent avec un temps dâavance sur les problÃ¨mes auxquels lâensemble des rÃ©gions de lâUnion seront confrontÃ©es prochainement. En les soutenant aujourdâhui, nous investissons dans la rÃ©silience de lâUnion pour notre avenir. Ma prÃ©sence rÃ©pÃ©tÃ©e ici, devant cette assemblÃ©e, alors que câest mon premier mandat, atteste tristement ce phÃ©nomÃ¨ne. Depuis septembre dernier, câest Ã cinq reprises que je me suis adressÃ© Ã vous Ã la fois pour livrer un message de soutien aux rÃ©gions et aux communautÃ©s touchÃ©es par de telles catastrophes, mais aussi pour exhorter lâUnion europÃ©enne Ã Ãªtre Ã la hauteur de ce dÃ©fi, notamment grÃ¢ce Ã la stratÃ©gie Ã venir sur la prÃ©paration de lâUnion et au prochain budget europÃ©en. Il faut continuer Ã se prÃ©parer activement et Ã mettre lâaccent sur la prÃ©paration et la rÃ©paration. Nous devons renforcer notre soutien aux communautÃ©s et aux rÃ©gions touchÃ©es par de telles catastrophes, notamment via le mÃ©canisme de protection civile de lâUnion, le Fonds de solidaritÃ© et une plus grande flexibilitÃ© dans lâutilisation des fonds de cohÃ©sion. Dâautre part, nous devons instaurer une vÃ©ritable culture de la prÃ©paration, afin que tous les citoyens, en particulier dans les rÃ©gions les plus exposÃ©es aux risques naturels, soient en mesure de se prÃ©munir, de se prÃ©parer et de rÃ©agir face aux Ã©vÃ©nements climatiques. En tant que sapeur-pompier, je peux vous assurer que chaque geste compte et peut sauver des vies.
GroÃe transnationale Unternehmen sind nicht bloÃ eine Ansammlung europÃ¤ischer Mutter- oder Tochtergesellschaften, sondern eigenstÃ¤ndige globale Akteure. Aber so betrachten wir sie nicht. Wir kleiden sie legislativ immer lediglich in unser eigenes Gesellschaftsrecht ein und sind nicht in der Lage, Ã¼ber unsere Grenzen hinauszudenken. Erst wenn wir multinationale Unternehmen endlich als eigenstÃ¤ndige VÃ¶lkerrechtssubjekte anerkennen, kÃ¶nnen wir sie wirksam an internationale menschenrechtliche und Ã¶kologische Standards binden. Europa muss hier Vorreiter sein. Lasst uns multinationale Unternehmen als eigenstÃ¤ndige VÃ¶lkerrechtssubjekte anerkennen!
Growth, not bureaucracy, will drive our economy forward and power the green transition. To deliver, we need two key things. First, clarity and breathing room for our European companies. The 'stop-the-clock' proposal must enter into force as soon as possible. That is why EPP is calling for a faster approach under an urgent procedure. Second, we have to deliver on content. We can do more to simplify this legislation and the EPP will push for further measures in the upcoming negotiations. We can, and we also call on all constructive forces of this House to join us in this. Europeans expect us to protect their jobs and improve their lives. The EPP is ready to lead and try to unlock the potential of our economy. This is also what is best for climate and for sustainability. I would argue that a growing European economy is the best climate policy that we could have. On our continent, we have the highest standard and also the most ambitious climate policy in the world. Taking down European economy is counter-productive. So the big debate here now, and especially I'm turning to my friends and colleagues on the Left, now the question is: will you stand for growth and jobs or red tape and bureaucracy? Europe cannot afford to wait. It is time to act.
What's not to like, you would think? After all, with the current economic backdrop, efforts to simplify, digitise, streamline, those are to be welcomed and we as a Group could certainly see room for doing that.Â But I will tell you what's not to like and that this is not the simplification of EU rules. This is the simplification of a debate. It's an oversimplification of a debate and it's a harmful one. What we're presented here with is removing liability from a law that says to check and address things like child labour and deforestation. Now, clearly that's not simplification, that's obstructing justice. That's purposefully making things harder for the victims of wrongdoing and NGOs. That's making a mockery of EU law, essentially.Â Liability is not just there for the sake of it. It's there to guarantee fairness and a level playing field between cowboy companies and companies that give a damn. Also, asking companies to only check their direct suppliers, that's pointless box-ticking for companies. You're asking them to look at places where there's no issues and no risks, and you're giving them a blank cheque to ignore risks that are further down their supply chain. Another example: banning companies from requesting information from companies of less than 1Â 000Â employees. That will just mean that their reporting is going to be inaccurate, incomplete and very difficult to comply. And now we talk about red tape. Make no mistake, this is regulatory schizophrenia that's going to end up increasing compliance costs. Companies have already invested in sustainability and now the Commission is pulling the rug from underneath their feet.Â I think this is the kind of nonsense that can only be come up with when people go on what must be an ideological crusade, and that at breakneck speed, refusing to consider real evidence or with a public consultation. Truly, the European Commission should be ashamed of this proposal. It claims that this is the middle ground, that it's a sensible proposal that is sorely needed, but it is an extreme proposal, let's be clear on that. It radically slashes human rights and environmental standards, and it actually makes things more complicated. And what's more, this is a dishonest reading of what the Draghi report has called for. No company is leaving the EU because of sustainability reporting. Could things be improved? Yes, of course, let's have a sensible conversation about that. But there's no company that risks bankruptcy unless we tell them that it's okay to have children make their products. This House now has a responsibility to get things back on track, to deliver actual simplification. Unfortunately, the EPP has already been mind-blowingly open about their willingness to work here with the extreme right, and that's not even plan B for the EPP, it seems that's plan A. The Commission has been absolutely fine to present its proposal under these circumstances. They knew that this couldn't gain a pro-European majority in this form, but it went ahead anyway.Â It's time to call this out for what it is. It's an extreme proposal. It's blatantly misguided and it's backed by the fossil fuel industry and the far right. (The speaker agreed to take a blue-card question)
Èi, doamna comisarÄ, suprareglementarea poate sÄ ducÄ la Ètergerea locurilor de muncÄ. Trebuie sÄ Ã®nÈelegem, am lucrat mult mai mult Ã®n economie, Ã®n industrie decÃ¢t Ã®n politicÄ, trebuie sÄ Ã®nÈelegem cÄ trebuie sÄ tratÄm la pachet drepturile lucrÄtorilor, cu condiÈii pentru IMM-uri, mai ales, Èi pentru companii, pentru cÄ doar companiile creeazÄ locuri de muncÄ Èi dacÄ reglementÄm, suprareglementÄm, pot sÄ se erodeze aceste locuri de muncÄ. Dar Èi dacÄ dereglementÄm, putem sÄ ajungem pe termen lung sÄ erodÄm locurile de muncÄ. De aceea trebuie o analizÄ foarte bunÄ, Èi poate vina cea mai mare pe care o are Uniunea EuropeanÄ, Comisia EuropeanÄ, este aceea cÄ se fac reglementÄri care se bat cap Ã®n cap. Èi un agricultor, un fermier, o IMM nu mai Ètie ce sÄ facÄ Ã®n momentul Ã®n care apar Ã®n conflict aceste legislaÈii. De aceea, trebuie cu foarte mare atenÈie sÄ analizÄm ce dereglementÄm Èi mai ales, sÄ nu mai adÄugÄm birocraÈie care nu aduce nimic, nici competitivitate, nici siguranÈa locului de muncÄ, nici sustenabilitate, nici posibilitatea companiilor de a mÄri salariile.

Putin is not afraid that NATO would want to attack by coming close to Russia's borders. He has moved his troops from the NATO borders into Ukraine. And Putin is not concerned about the safety of the Russian-speaking minority in Moldova. He's bombing Russian speakers in Ukraine. But Putin is afraid of democracy and successful states near the Russian borders. He wants their neighbours to be poor and miserable. Now, when the US is leaving Moldova, Russia still wants to suppress Moldova. Moldova needs us now more than ever. We must stand up and take responsibility for this facility and more broadly.
The right to be who you are, to love who you want and to live your life free from discrimination is a fundamental European right. That right is clearly under attack. At this critical moment, the decision by the European Commission to announce the withdrawal of the horizontal anti-discrimination directive came as a shock. It also represents a betrayal of all the EU citizens who are currently lacking protection against discrimination. It is time for the EU to show global leadership against discrimination, not to back down. As the European Parliament's rapporteur for this directive, I strongly condemn this decision and I urge the European Commission to immediately reconsider it.
And the same can be said about the trilogues, so I would like to also thank the Commission, particularly Commissioner Marta Kos, as well as the Polish Presidency and Ambassador Agnieszka Bartol, for those very, very constructive negotiations that helped us to come to a swift and very good outcome. I'm also reassured by the debate here in this plenary hall today. I think that there is a very strong degree of unity and also a shared sense of purpose, with a very few exceptions. I do believe that Moldova, at this critical moment, needs our help, and I do believe that we also need Moldova. It's not perhaps the largest of the European countries, but it is far too important to be neglected. They deserve their place in our Union.
Deregulering zorgt niet voor broodnodige investeringen in innovatieve, groene, in Europa vervaardigde producten en creÃ«ert al helemaal geen banen in Europa. Wie dat gesnoei in wetgeving zomaar toejuicht, kijkt niet vooruit maar achteruit, naar een tijd waar multinationals straffeloos het milieu, de werknemersrechten en de mensenrechten om zeep hielpen. Denk maar aan Rana Plaza, waar duizenden arbeiders het leven lieten door de nalatigheid van de "fast fashion"-industrie. Laat ons koers houden. Administratieve lasten verminderen waar mogelijk? Ja. Maar laten we vooral innovatie en duurzame investeringen stimuleren in plaats van onze duurzaamheidswetten verder uit te kleden.

Vous voulez donc commencer cela cette annÃ©e, alors que la situation financiÃ¨re de lâUnion est dÃ©jÃ catastrophique et que, trÃ¨s souvent, vos projets immobiliers aboutissent Ã des dÃ©rapages scandaleux. Je citerai le projet Berlaymont, de la Commission, qui a coÃ»tÃ© plus de cinq fois le prix estimÃ© au dÃ©part, le projet Europa, ou encore ceux de la Cour de justice et de lâEMA. Quelles garanties Ã©viteront cette fois un fiasco? OÃ¹ est la ventilation dÃ©taillÃ©e de ce budget? Un audit par la Cour des comptes sur cet Ã©chec ne devrait-il pas Ãªtre un prÃ©alable? Alors que le siÃ¨ge officiel de notre Parlement est ici Ã Strasbourg, vos doublons de siÃ¨ges, aberration logistique, coÃ»tent 114Â millions dâeuros par an. Sont-ils compatibles avec les objectifs du pacte vert, que vous dÃ©fendez? Quels critÃ¨res environnementaux chiffrÃ©s imposez-vous pour justifier ces travaux? Maintenir deux sites, avec leurs dÃ©placements incessants, ne ridiculise-t-il pas notre exemplaritÃ© Ã©cologique? Au lieu de dÃ©penser 455Â millions, pourquoi ne vendez-vous pas Bruxelles? Câest le moment: cela vous permettrait de rediriger ces fonds vers les PME, lâagriculture et dâautres sujets utiles aux citoyens.
In dieser Situation sollte man meinen, dass die EU bereit ist, endlich wirklich gegenzusteuern, dass die EU bereit ist zu einem echten Politikwechsel, dass die EU bereit ist, die Industrie zu rettenÂ â sollte man meinen, passiert aber nicht; es geht einfach so weiter wie bisher. Es wird stur weitergemacht, und das ist die ganze Wahrheit hinter Ihrem Omnibus: weiter wie bisher. Und das Schlimmste ist, dass Sie das auch wissen. Sie wissen ganz genau, dass es der Green Deal ist, der unsere Wirtschaft zerstÃ¶rt. Sie wissen, dass Sie seit fÃ¼nf Jahren einem Irrweg folgen, aber das zuzugeben, hieÃe fÃ¼r Sie Gesichtsverlust, und darum machen Sie weiter wie bisher. Darum opfern Sie aus Eitelkeit lieber unsere wirtschaftlichen Grundlagen und die Zukunft unserer Jugend. Dieser Omnibus, diese Ãnderungen, ist viel zu wenig und kommt viel zu spÃ¤t.
Se o problema Ã© a burocracia que atinge as pequenas e mÃ©dias empresas, porque Ã© que nÃ£o se facilita a vida Ã s pequenas e mÃ©dias empresas e se opta, por outro lado, por atribuir a empresas que nÃ£o sÃ£o pequenas e mÃ©dias empresas, nomeadamente as designadas small midâcaps, o mesmo tratamento que Ã s PME? Essas sÃ£o opÃ§Ãµes erradas, que escondem um problema de fundo que a senhora deputada devia explicar: a forma como este pacote Omnibus verdadeiramente favorece as grandes multinacionais e as grandes empresas, em vez de contribuir para os objetivos que lhe servem de pretexto.
In recent weeks, the situation became extremely explosive after the President of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, took further illegal steps towards judicial succession from the State of Bosnia and Herzegovina in response to his conviction by the Bosnian Constitutional Court for undermining the Dayton Peace Accords.Â And as Putin's puppet in the Balkans, Dodik may do anything the Kremlin tells him, including waging war. So this escalation requires a rapid and strong EU response, as we are not secure without a secure Bosnia. So the Greens/EFA Group therefore proposes the debate with a title "Commission statement on secessionist threats in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the recent escalation, without resolution", and we would like to extend the meeting on Wednesday then, to 11pm.
La Moldavie sâen est tirÃ©e de peu, aprÃ¨s les Ã©lections gagnÃ©es de justesse par la candidate de Bruxelles. Pour les remercier, des milliards dâeuros ou de dollars sont envoyÃ©s du monde entier. Par exemple, Arte affirme que des ONG en Moldavie ont touchÃ© 2,5Â milliardsÂ de dollars des Ãtats-Unis âÂ les fameuses aides dâUSAID. Aujourdâhui, Bruxelles veut encore envoyer 1,9Â milliardÂ dâeuros en Moldavie pour deux ans. Pour faire quoi? Pour remercier qui? Pour Ã©liminer encore des candidats locaux? Pour acheter les voix de qui? Pour payer des pseudo-journalistes ou de faux experts, qui chassent la dÃ©sinformation tout en produisant de fausses informations? Nâest-ce pas lÃ la dÃ©finition de lâingÃ©rence? De qui vous moquez-vous? Moldavie, Slovaquie, GÃ©orgie, Roumanie: vous ne pourrez pas acheter toutes les voix. Le peuple, lui, nâest pas corruptible.
Tomorrow, we are going to have the final vote here in the plenary of the European Parliament on the EURÂ 1.9Â billion growth facility for the Republic of Moldova. We believe in this project. The way in which it was agreed by the European Parliament and the Council, with the support of the European Commission, will allow the Republic of Moldova to become economically, socially, institutionally even stronger. It will be closer to European standards after the implementation of this growth and reform facility: EURÂ 1.9Â billion to support the economy, to support private sector, to support citizens over the next three years. Money for investments in parallel with reforms that will strengthen the public administration, that will improve the competitiveness of the country. We are doing this because the Republic of Moldova is a country deeply rooted in European values. We still vividly remember the first weeks of the illegal and illegitimate invasion of Russian armed forces into Ukraine. The people of Moldova opened their houses for refugees in Ukraine. For people coming from Ukraine and looking for security, they found it in the Republic of Moldova, with some Moldovan authorities and some Moldovan citizens acting in line with European values. We saw people of Moldova expressing themselves in elections, in a referendum, in this direction. They share our values. They want to become members of the Union. So it is our obligation to support. And we know this is good for Moldova, but it will also be good for Europe, because the Republic of Moldova is a direct neighbour. It is not only an EU candidate country, but it is neighbouring the European Union, and we know that Moldova's security is Europe's security. We can only be secure and safe inside the borders of the Union if our neighbours are safe. This is why strengthening Moldova, supporting Moldova is also in the fundamental interest of the European Union, even more so now when we are seeing our long-standing partner across the Atlantic unfortunately disengaging from Europe â in terms of trade, in terms of economy, in terms of security and defence, in terms of defending, unfortunately, democracy, human rights and the rule of law. We are seeing the threat in the East. We are seeing the uncertainties across the Atlantic. So the reaction for us and the answer for us is clear: we stick together as EU Member States, we support each other and we also support the candidate countries. These were the principles on the basis of which here, in the European Parliament, we worked throughout the process of adopting this growth and reform facility for the Republic of Moldova. Sven Mikser, my co-rapporteur on behalf of the Foreign Affairs Committee, and myself were lucky enough to work closely with the shadow rapporteurs from the other groups. And last week we had a vote with a large majority in a joint meeting of the two committees that were decisive here. We had a vote with a large majority because the key objectives of Parliament for this process were fulfilled. We said we want to adopt this facility fast, and we want to adopt it in a way in which it is good for Europe and good for Moldova. We set two primary objectives. Firstly, as soon as the Moldovan authorities put forward a reform and growth plan and the European Commission adopts it, we want the pre-financing paid to the Republic of Moldova to be more comprehensive. The European Commission proposed 7Â %. The Council agreed to 7Â %. We demanded a fundamental increase and, due to the unity of the European Parliament, we managed to agree, together with the Council and Commission, on an increase to 18Â %. That is EURÂ 200Â million more for the people of Moldova due to the work that we have done together here in the European institutions, at European Union level. The second objective was to increase the grant component, to make more grants available for the people of Moldova. We have achieved all this. The mandate is achieved. This is why tomorrow, with a large majority, we are going to give a positive vote to this facility â a clear signal to the people of Moldova that Moldova is Europe, and Europe is Moldova.

Finally, the EU has woken up to the fact that the complex and duplicated regulatory requirements are weighing on European businesses. I urge my colleagues in this House and all Member States to act swiftly on these proposals, to keep their eyes on the objective and not try to reopen and rehash political debates that were settled when these pieces of legislation were adopted. I call on the Commission to keep up the momentum and continue to simplification agenda without diluting our ambition or its intent. We must assess the framework for each of our industries and ensure they're not being unnecessarily burdened. However, acting swiftly does not mean acting recklessly. This Parliament needs to carefully scrutinise the Omnibus proposals to ensure that they are truly bringing forward simplification measures and not deregulation for the sake of it. I think there is a big debate that is required in this particular House with regard to deregulation and simplification, and I do not think that we should be using deregulation to throw out the ambition that this Parliament, the Commission and the Council set in the last mandate.
Vivimos en una UniÃ³n Europea donde mÃ¡s de 92 millones de personas siguen en riesgo de exclusiÃ³n o en riesgo de pobreza. No son simples cifras, son seres humanos y es una realidad que nos interpela y que tenemos que atender. Este Fondo Social Europeo Plus lo hace y ustedes estÃ¡n presentando enmiendas para restar las garantÃ­as de los mÃ¡s vulnerables, de los niÃ±os, de las niÃ±as, de quienes nos necesitan. Nos estÃ¡n pidiendo que saquemos a esta infancia de la pobreza y ustedes quieren mÃ¡s armas. Desde luego, con esta actitud demuestran la Europa que quieren, y esta no es la que defendemos las personas progresistas que queremos una Europa igual para todas y todos.
Man muss nun wirklich kein Freund des Assad-Regimes sein, um zu erkennen, dass das wirklich groteske Fake News waren, und ich finde, es muss ein deutliches Signal von diesem Parlament ausgehen, dass wir so etwas nicht dulden hier in diesen heiligen Hallen.
Pourtant, ici, pas dâexpression, pas de rÃ©solution pour exiger sa libÃ©ration immÃ©diate, celle du plus ancien prisonnier politique dâEurope. Pas un mot pour GeorgesÂ IbrahimÂ Abdallah, pourtant libÃ©rable depuis vingt-cinq ans. Ici, câest toujours cette mÃªme hypocrisie des bourgeois bien-pensants et de leur Â«deux poids, deux mesuresÂ». La cour dâappel de Paris, qui devait se prononcer le 20Â fÃ©vrier dernier sur sa libÃ©ration, a ajournÃ© sa dÃ©cision au 19Â juin prochain. Le maintien en dÃ©tention de GeorgesÂ IbrahimÂ Abdallah est un scandale dâÃtat et une honte pour lâÃtat franÃ§ais. Assez dâacharnement! LibÃ©rez GeorgesÂ IbrahimÂ Abdallah! LibÃ©rez GeorgesÂ IbrahimÂ Abdallah!

But when it comes to what we could actually do to simplify, there's many things that we could be discussing reasonably, but there hasn't been time for that because of a PR stunt from the European Commission that insists on proposing things within the first 100 days. I don't think there's any necessity to rush things like that and, therefore, we're now faced with proposals that are misguided. I think it's a little bit like saying that if you're driving on the motorway, cars will be able to drive faster without speed limits. That's certainly true, but you're also going to have collisions.
Of course, we see the geopolitical situation. We see what Russia is doing. Russia is destroying; Europe helps â Europe helps with development solidarity. Russia uses energy to blackmail you; the EU installs solar panels and connects the energy centres. Russia divides; the EU unites. And â that I saw as an election observer â the Moldovans are strong. They defend their democracy, and we have to help them there as well. One more thing: there is beautiful soil there, they are great agriculture, wine we know, and also wonderful culture. It's always great to listen to Moldovan singers, like Valentina NaforniÈa. If she is in Vienna State Opera, in any other opera, please go listen to her, she's wonderful, like many others as well.
We have faced various crises â one after the other â and every time we have proven that we are stronger when tested. We have delivered vaccines to our citizens in record time; we secured gas supplies when Russia cut them off; we tackled economic turmoil. And every time there was talk about disunity, we proved we can succeed. Today we face yet another situation, where our closest ally often sounds like an adversary, and that makes us feel threatened and uncertain. And at the beginning of this plenary, I want us to remember the words of Robert Schuman, who said: 'Europe will not be made at once [...]. It will be built through concrete achievements which first create a de facto solidarity'. It is the moment of solidarity where words turn into actions, because words do not build Europe.
Deshalb frage ich mich auch ganz ehrlich: Haben einige Kollegen von Sozialdemokraten und GrÃ¼nen noch nicht mitbekommen, wie schlecht es um die europÃ¤ische Wirtschaft steht? Ich finde es wirklich unverantwortlich, wie sich hier einige jedweder Vereinfachung und BÃ¼rokratieabbau verweigern. Und leider, wenn ich nach Berlin kucke, macht mir das schwarz-rote Sondierungspapier auch nicht sehr viel Hoffnung, dass die Union es tatsÃ¤chlich ernst meint mit echten Reformen jenseits des Wahlkampfs. Deswegen mein absoluter Appell an die Kommission: Wir brauchen noch viel mehr Vereinfachung, wir brauchen Abbau von Ã¼berflÃ¼ssigen Gesetzen und Regulierungen, und deswegen brauchen wir jede Menge neue Omnibusse. Und der nÃ¤chste muss ein Digital-Omnibus sein, denn wir mÃ¼ssen die Ã¼berbordenden Digitalgesetze vereinfachen. Wir mÃ¼ssen endlich bei Innovationen an der Weltspitze sein und nicht bei der Regulierung.
The Committee on Budgetary Control adopted with great unanimity a number of amendments that would have improved the transparency and the auditing of the facility. Most of them were not taken on board because the rapporteurs wanted to have a swift negotiation with the Council. I can understand that, but the challenge is still there to strengthen the auditing in Moldova and to make sure that taxpayers' money is used in the best possible way. I am sure that we will have many opportunities to come back to that debate on strengthening the national auditing system in Moldova.
Me ha resultado chocante que alguno de los intervinientes anteriores ha puesto como ejemplo, como si fuera el faro de Occidente, a la economÃ­a china. En fin, es un tanto sorprendente dar pasos hacia atrÃ¡s. Me resulta muy problemÃ¡tico que las reglas de diligencia debida, que sin lugar a dudas son un riesgo, se coloquen en el frontispicio de esa gran arma que debemos de utilizar para desregular. Yo sÃ­ que comparto que no se puede recortar la burocracia sin pensar en lo que el propio Informe Draghi nos pone encima de la mesa, que es liderar. Ese es nuestro objetivo realmente, seÃ±ora comisaria, liderar, y para eso tenemos que ser muchÃ­simo mÃ¡s competitivos, pero no desregulando, no. Lo que tenemos que hacer es quitar burocracia para ser competitivos en el mundo. Claro que sÃ­.
Moldova se aflÄ Ã®ntr-un context geopolitic fragil, marcat de multe riscuri Èi ameninÈÄri. De aceea, trei elemente sunt foarte importante aici: rezilienÈa democraticÄ Èi instituÈionalÄ. Aici vedem foarte multe progrese Ã®n combaterea corupÈiei Èi transparenÈa instituÈionalÄ. De asemenea, rezilienÈa economicÄ â Moldova trebuie sÄ-Èi diversifice economia, sÄ stimuleze investiÈiile Èi sÄ-Èi reducÄ dependenÈa de surse externe. Strategia de independenÈÄ Èi de eficienÈÄ energeticÄ fÄcutÄ cu ajutorul Uniunii Europene este foarte importantÄ. Èi, de asemenea, rezilienÈa societalÄ Èi coeziunea comunitarÄ â aici, trebuie sÄ sprijinim protecÈia socialÄ, accesul la educaÈie Èi sÄnÄtate Èi grupurile vulnerabile. De aceea, rezilienÈa societalÄ este importantÄ Èi este o investiÈie. FelicitÄri raportorilor! FelicitÄri, doamnÄ comisarÄ, pentru muncÄ!
Wir mÃ¼ssen uns wirklich fragen, ob diese Hilfsmittel das erreichen, wofÃ¼r sie mal von einer Mehrheit hier im Hause gegen meine Stimme geschaffen wurden. Bei der Richtlinie Ã¼ber Nachhaltigkeitsberichterstattung und beim LieferkettensorgfaltspflichtenâGesetz fÃ¤llt die Antwort eigentlich klar aus: In der heutigen Form sind sie kein hilfreiches Instrument, um die Ziele zu erreichen. Sie sind unnÃ¶tig kompliziert, sie sorgen fÃ¼r hohe BÃ¼rokratielasten, sie schaffen hÃ¶chstens ArbeitsplÃ¤tze fÃ¼r Consultants und RechtsanwÃ¤lte, aber WettbewerbsfÃ¤higkeit schaffen sie nicht. Deswegen ist es richtig, dass die EuropÃ¤ische Kommission nun zielgerichtet Anpassungen vorgeschlagen hat. Die VorschlÃ¤ge gehen in die richtige Richtung, aber ich hÃ¤tte mir schon etwas mehr Ambitionen gewÃ¼nscht, liebe Frau Kommissarin. Insbesondere im Bereich der Taxonomie wollen Sie alles nur auf Level zwei mit delegierten Rechtsakten lÃ¶sen. Ich glaube, die Mutter aller Probleme ist die Taxonomie, und hier erwarte ich noch weitere VorschlÃ¤ge von der Kommission. Auch an der Stelle mÃ¼ssen wir noch deutlich entrÃ¼mpeln.

I was just wondering about that colleague that said the people elected this candidate. They didn't elect this candidate in a fair election; it was an election that was scammed by Russian propaganda and Russian bots and Russian influence. I know that you are fond of stuff like this, because it tends to help you as well in our elections. But democracy also includes the free will of the people without manipulation, without foreign interference. That is the problem here. It is not that a fair election was taken away; it is that a scammed election was taken away. If the institutions â the Constitutional Court, the board of elections â decide like this, you have to respect it. You cannot just cry aloud because the candidate that you wanted to run was taken away.
A BizottsÃ¡g omnibusz csomagja ezÃ©rt biztatÃ³ Ã©s jÃ³ kezdet a kkv-barÃ¡t kÃ¶rnyezet megteremtÃ©sÃ©re, hiszen a cÃ©gek akÃ¡r 80 szÃ¡zalÃ©kÃ¡t mentesÃ­theti a jelentÃ©stÃ©tel alÃ³l.

We have worked together. I would like to first and foremost thank my co-rapporteur Sven Mikser on behalf of the AFET Committee, but also the shadow rapporteurs that have worked closely with us. We have managed to reach a common agreement with the Council, which includes the top priorities of the European Parliament. As a result of our work, the support for Moldova will come fast and will come in a more comprehensive form. I would like to thank Commissioner Kos and all colleagues from the Commission for acting really and truly as an honest broker. And I would also like to thank the Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union, who understood the strategic importance of this file. In these difficult times, when we are seeing that our common European values, that human rights, the democracy, that the rule of law are challenged by autocrats all around the world, we are giving a strong signal of unity. 27 Member States of the European Union stand by the side of a candidate country, understanding that supporting a candidate country, making it stronger, makes us stronger as well. Thank you everyone following this positive debate, we are encouraged that tomorrow the planning of the European Parliament will give its final and positive vote by a large majority to this Reform and Growth Facility for the Republic of Moldova.
Autrement, vous avez le choix de ne pas faire cette nÃ©gociation avec nous, mais avec lâextrÃªme droite. Si vous nÃ©gociez avec lâextrÃªme droite, alors cela veut dire que vous cassez la capacitÃ© Ã avoir une confiance dans cette majoritÃ© vonÂ derÂ Leyen, qui a Ã©lu la prÃ©sidente de la Commission. Or vous avez besoin de cette majoritÃ© vonÂ derÂ Leyen; lâEurope a besoin de cette majoritÃ© von der Leyen pour rÃ©pondre Ã la crise gÃ©opolitique que nous connaissons et construire cette Europe-puissance dont on a plus que jamais besoin. Ce nâest pas avec lâextrÃªme droite que vous allez le faire. Ce nâest pas avec ceux qui viennent de rappeler que la pire responsabilitÃ© sur le secteur de lâacier, ce serait le texte sur la CSRD, alors que ce sont Ã©videmment les amis de lâextrÃªme droite, comme DonaldÂ Trump, qui veulent imposer des droits de douane qui vont faire trÃ¨s mal au secteur de lâacier. Vous avez le choix: soit vous faites une simplification intelligente avec nous, soit vous faites la tronÃ§onneuse avec lâextrÃªme droite. Câest lâHistoire qui vous regarde.
Este paquete supone un paso en la direcciÃ³n correcta, pero aÃºn hay margen de mejora. La reducciÃ³n de cargas administrativas debe ir mÃ¡s lejos para que las empresas europeas puedan crecer sin obstÃ¡culos regulatorios innecesarios. Un ejemplo claro son las obligaciones impuestas por la Directiva sobre informaciÃ³n corporativa en materia de sostenibilidad que impone a muchas empresas la redacciÃ³n de informes de sostenibilidad, incluso cuando ya forman parte de grupos empresariales que presentan estos datos de una manera consolidada. Con el paquete Ã³mnibus se han introducido cambios que eliminan redundancias, pero las empresas europeas siguen dedicando muchos recursos a cumplir con exigencias burocrÃ¡ticas en vez de centrarse en su negocio. La autonomÃ­a estratÃ©gica de la que tanto hablamos no serÃ¡ posible si no facilitamos las cosas a quienes producen, innovan y crean riqueza en Europa. Debemos competir en igualdad de condiciones con otras regiones del mundo. Seguimos trabajando para que este paquete sea aÃºn mÃ¡s ambicioso en la eliminaciÃ³n de cargas administrativas.
Extremist factions associated with militant groups have reportedly executed civilians, including women and children. Christian families have endured brutal killings and violent raids at the hands of armed militants who have stormed homes, seized belongings and claimed innocent lives. The European Union must take decisive action in support of stability and humanitarian relief efforts to alleviate the suffering of the Syrian people, including Christians and other affected communities. Christianity in Syria and in some other parts of the Middle East-North Africa region is at a critical crossroads. It will either endure or it will vanish, leaving behind a profound religious, ethnic and cultural void. Europe must not remain indifferent to this existential threat. An External Action Service with its press release - it is shameful that they did not take this into account.
In such turbulent times, reliable friends matter. This is what the EU has demonstrated in the past month. How? First, we provided Moldova with immediate budget support to push the energy prices back down to the pre-crisis level. Second, we seize the moment with a strategy for energy independence and resilience. It will integrate Moldova into the European electricity market and help it gain full control over their energy supplies. They will be completely decoupled from Russian energy by the end of next year. This is very ambitious.Â For comparison, it took the Baltic states 15 years to do this integration. With Moldova, we want to do it just in two years. And third, we approach Moldova respecting its full territorial integrity. Our offer included the Transnistria region, where a humanitarian crisis was looming. Of course, we attached important conditions. One of the results was that for the first time ever, Moldova's public television can be watched in the Transnistria region. Romanian language schools became accessible, illegal checkpoints were removed, and political prisoners were freed in a bit less than one month. Ultimately, Russia felt compelled to restart gas transfers to keep the Transnistria region afloat, but to do so, they now need to pay market prices, which will cost them hundreds of millions of euros just until the end of this heating season. Our intervention matched the cynical games of Moscow. It ensured that nobody in Moldova had to go without light or heating because of skyrocketing prices. It defused the topic as a vote winner for those who want to weaken Europe. It demonstrated that in turbulent times, the EU is a partner to rely on. We are now adding another piece to our support for Moldova, the Reform and Growth Facility. It amounts, as we have heard, to EUR 1.9 billion and it's the largest EU financial support package for Moldova since its independence. The plan aims to double Moldova's economy in the next decade and start integrating the country in key parts of the European internal market. I would like to personally thank the AFET and Budget Committee, rapporteurs Sven Mikser and Siegfried MureÈan, and all Members of the European Parliament who worked on the facility. The speed of the negotiations reflects the urgency on the ground and we did it really excellent. Together, as we have already heard, we have adapted the pre-financing rate to the new circumstances. The higher rate of 18Â % will further help Moldova mitigate the impact of energy crises and free itself of future Russian blackmail. We have also agreed to add an additional EUR 100 million in non-repayable support. On this, the Commission has a formal declaration on the source of funding for the increased assistance provided under the facility, which has been sent to the Parliament's services for inclusion in the verbatim record of this debate. Decisions with the Moldovan authorities on the reform agenda are advancing well, and we expect it this week. This will allow us to disburse the pre-financing at the end of March or at the beginning of April, and provided that all necessary requirements are met, the first regular payment under the growth plan will follow in July. We have, and I'm very happy about this, also just pass the decision on the integration on Moldova into the Single Euro Payment Area. This will allow faster and cheaper euro transfers across Europe, as we expect from autumn on, and we are working with Moldova to integrate them into the EU Roaming Area by the end of the year. This will make it cheaper for Moldovans to call, text and use the internet when travelling or doing business in the EU. The Republic of Moldova has set itself the ambitious goal of EU membership by 2030. This is technicallyÂ possible. To achieve it, Moldova needs to keep up its impressive reform path and align with EU legislation, and in particular reform its public administration, judiciary and anti-corruption frameworks. Because of efforts to integrate Moldova deeper and faster into our single market can only pay dividends if European investors and businesses know they will find a business climate that is predictable and safe, In times of crisis, true partnerships are tested. Moldova has seen a Europe of action and not mere words. Moldova belongs to our European family. As it moves forward on its EU path, it will never walk alone.
On February 24, the official mission of this Parliament's delegation for relations with Palestine, of which I am the Chair, was supposed to take place. Instead, myself, Rima Hassan, MEP, and two officials of this Parliament were detained by the Israeli authorities and subsequently deported. While detained by the Israeli authorities, our electronic devices held by Members and staff of the delegation were confiscated for over 90 minutes. Our passports, including an Irish diplomatic passport, were confiscated and were not returned to us until we arrived back in Brussels. This all took place on the same day that the EU-Israel Association Council was taking place, and EU leaders were committing themselves to continue business as usual with Israel, while the Israeli authorities were not allowing us, as elected officials, to do our jobs. So I ask you, Madam President, that you address this matter urgently.
Polska wspiera MoÅdawiÄ od momentu uzyskania przez niÄ niepodlegÅoÅci. Mam osobistÄ satysfakcjÄ, Å¼e jako minister spraw wewnÄtrznych mogÅem uczestniczyÄ w tej pomocy. W 2023 r. w obliczu prorosyjskich prÃ³b destabilizacji, prorosyjskich bojÃ³wek na ulicach Kiszyniowa przekazaliÅmy moÅdawskiemu MSW bardzo duÅ¼Ä iloÅÄ sprzÄtu policyjnego, w tym broÅ i amunicjÄ, aby MoÅdawia byÅa samowystarczalna w zakresie zapewnienia porzÄ dku publicznego. Dajmy szansÄ MoÅdawii uciec przed dyktaturÄ Putina. Jestem przekonany, Å¼e wsparcie finansowe, nad ktÃ³rym jutro bÄdziemy gÅosowaÄ, dobrze siÄ do tego przyczyni.
We have been falling behind. We have been falling behind a lot of other great economic powers around the world and we have to change this situation. And there is a lot of things that we need to change. But one of the most important parts is to cut red tape. This is important for all companies, but it is most important for the small and medium-sized enterprises. It was a colleague that mentioned the 'Think Small First' principle â I think that is really important. That is a good solution. We have to do that. And this can be done in the negotiation about these files as well, to continue with the 'Think Small First' principle. Multinationals were mentioned like they are bad guys â no, they are good guys. They are providing jobs and economy and growth to Europeans. That is also important. It is good that we do a reality check on this package, on the CSDDD, on the CSRD, on the taxonomy act, on the CBAM. We need that reality check. So let's work with it, but we need to move this forward. This is a good first step but we need to continue to cut red tape. It's been speaking about 'deregulation', about 'simplification', about 'cutting red tape' â it doesn't matter which word you use, you have to cut the cost for businesses. That's how you get back to growth. (The speaker agreed to take a blue-card question)
Many of the citizens that voted for their countries to enter the Union after the 1990s did so with the hope that their countries and societies will converge to these European values. What we are seeing in the Commission work programme is that the anti-discrimination directive â and many other measures for which we did not reach an agreement in five years â gets withdrawn. This means that the Council gets handed the perfect weapon: if they ever think that we're asking for too much in the Parliament or in the Commission, they just need to drag their feet for long enough and then make the problem disappear. In the meantime, the message we are sending to Europeans is clear: these values you hoped for will remain unreachable. It is unacceptable that we allow a couple of holdout countries to prevent the adoption of European rules that deal with values central to the European project. We need to be looking immediately at another proposal for horizontal rules to combat discrimination.

But I still believe that there are enough Commission officials listening to this broadcast anyway. And I think that this House should not be stuck because of this. So I would like to give the floor to Tomas TobÃ© to open the debate.
This request is referred to the Committee on Legal Affairs.
Kolege s lijeve strane, vi kaÅ¾ete, ne treba nam omnibus paket. Pa kaÅ¾ite to tim ljudima koji svakog dana moraju pronaÄi novac kako bi imali za proizvodnju, kako bi mogli platiti svoje radnike. Naravno da omnibus paketom neÄemo sve rijeÅ¡iti, ali Äemo osloboditi vrijeme i resurse koji su sada zarobljeni u beskrajnoj papirologiji, birokratskim labirintima i prekomjernom administrativnom optereÄenju. Tako Äemo omoguÄiti tvrtkama ono o Äemu govorimo, Å¡to imaju SAD, Å¡to imaju neke druge razvijenije zemlje, a mi nemamo, a to je: inovacije, rast i konkurentnost. I zakljuÄit Äu, pojednostavljenje nije samo sebi svrha. Ono je alat za jaÄanje naÅ¡ih poduzetnika i ostvarivanje snaÅ¾nijeg, konkurentnijeg i otpornijeg europskog trÅ¾iÅ¡ta. To ne smije biti ideoloÅ¡ko pitanje. To je pitanje razuma.
2Â MilliardenÂ Euro wollen Sie jetzt nach Moldawien schicken, als Vorschuss fÃ¼r die EUâMitgliedschaft. Wir lehnen diese Verschwendung ab, weil der grÃ¶Ãte Teil dieses Geldes in den Taschen von korrupten Politikern und Oligarchen verschwinden wird. Im Korruptionsindex von Transparency International steht Moldau auf den hinteren PlÃ¤tzen. Weil wir die Interessen der Steuerzahler in Deutschland und Frankreich und anderen Mitgliedstaaten verteidigen mÃ¼ssen, lehnen wir die 2Â MilliardenÂ Euro fÃ¼r Moldawien ab, denn fÃ¼r die Spendierfreudigkeit in diesem Haus mÃ¼ssen wir Deutschen horrende Steuern zahlen. Selbst die Rente wird in Deutschland versteuert. Ãber 7Â Millionen Rentner in Deutschland haben weniger als 1Â 000Â Euro im Monat nach vielen Jahrzehnten harter Arbeit. Insgesamt zahlen die Deutschen fast 1Â 000Â Milliarden Euro Steuern im Jahr, und trotzdem fehlt es an allen Ecken und Enden. BrÃ¼cken und StraÃen verfallen, Schulen und UniversitÃ¤ten sind marode, KrankenhÃ¤user mÃ¼ssen schlieÃen. Der desolate Zustand Deutschlands lÃ¤sst sich nur noch mit gigantischen Schulden verschleiern. Deshalb mÃ¼ssen wir die Verschwendung beenden, und wir werden dieser EU den Geldhahn abdrehen. Margaret Thatcher hat mal gesagt: Das Problem der Sozialisten ist, dass ihnen irgendwann das Geld fremder Leute ausgeht. So ist es auch hier. Wenn Deutschland nicht mehr zahlt, dann ist die Party vorbei. Europa kann nur eine Zukunft haben, wenn europÃ¤ische Politiker die Interessen ihrer WÃ¤hler an erste Stelle setzen, und genau das werden wir tun. SpÃ¤testens nach der nÃ¤chsten Bundestagswahl gilt: Schluss mit der GroÃzÃ¼gigkeit auf Deutschlands Nacken, Schluss mit den unsinnigen Geldgeschenken an alle Welt.
Based on reports by agencies that were our sources of information during the Assad regime, hundreds of people have been murdered in their homes, thousands were tortured and kidnapped, including kids and women and men. Much more were expelled by the new jihadist regime simply because the victims are Alawites, Druze or Christians. For this reason, I will kindly ask the following: let's show our conscience by observing a one-minute silence.
Komission esittÃ¤mÃ¤t muutokset vesittÃ¤vÃ¤t esimerkiksi yritysvastuudirektiivin rajaamalla soveltamisalasta ulos pienemmÃ¤t alihankkijat sekÃ¤ heikentÃ¤mÃ¤llÃ¤ ihmisoikeusloukkausten uhrien asemaa. Jos huolellisuutta vaaditaan vain ensimmÃ¤isessÃ¤ tuotantoportaassa, kuten komissio nyt esittÃ¤Ã¤, valvotaan esimerkiksi ananasmehun tuotannon ihmisoikeusvaikutuksia jatkossa vain Suomen Kuopiossa, ei Thaimaassa, mistÃ¤ alihankintaa tehdÃ¤Ã¤n. TÃ¤llaisessa sÃ¤Ã¤ntelyssÃ¤ ei ole mitÃ¤Ã¤n jÃ¤rkeÃ¤, ja se myÃ¶s tuhoaa tÃ¤mÃ¤n koko direktiivin alkuperÃ¤isen ajatuksen.
Na UniÃ£o Europeia, enfrentamos desafios semelhantes. Temos o direito de saber para onde vai o dinheiro dos nossos contribuintes, que projetos sÃ£o financiados, quem beneficia dos fundos europeus destinados Ã Ajuda PÃºblica ao Desenvolvimento. Que think tanks, que Ã³rgÃ£os de comunicaÃ§Ã£o social foram financiados pela ComissÃ£o Europeia? Que polÃ­tica estamos, sem saber, a subsidiar?Â Sem respostas claras, a confianÃ§a nas instituiÃ§Ãµes europeias Ã© abalada e a democracia, enfraquecida. Ã imperativo criar um Departamento Europeu para a EficiÃªncia Governamental. Este organismo vai garantir que cada euro Ã© gasto de forma transparente e responsÃ¡vel, assegurando que os financiamentos nÃ£o servem interesses ocultos, mas, sim, o bem comum.
Approval of the minutes of the previous sitting
Enough with the violence. He said it was a metaphor. Well, a metaphor is what Shakespeare said, that the world is a stage. A metaphor is not when you say 'skinning people alive', when you put women down, when you put minorities down, when you go against the constitutional base of the country, when you say that ethnicities are less than people. So enough with the hate. Let's not export the hate. Romanians deserve a European, modern, democratic life.
Nous nâavons eu de cesse, avec mes collÃ¨gues de gauche et, dâailleurs, du centre, de demander aux reprÃ©sentants du Parti populaire europÃ©en ce que vous comptiez faire sur ce texte. Je vous le redemande donc: comptez-vous discuter avec nous, les groupes dÃ©mocratiques, ou comptez-vous soutenir les amendements de suppression de lâextrÃªme droite, voire en dÃ©poser vous-mÃªmes?
Rahaston julkilausuttuna tavoitteena on muun muassa integroida ulkomaalaisia henkilÃ¶itÃ¤ tyÃ¶markkinoillemme sekÃ¤ edistÃ¤Ã¤ sukupuolten vÃ¤listÃ¤ tasa-arvoa. Mutta nÃ¤istÃ¤ osataan pÃ¤Ã¤ttÃ¤Ã¤ paremmin kansallisesti, koska jokaisen yhteiskunnan tilanne on erilainen. EU:n kautta tÃ¤mÃ¤ touhu maksaa veronmaksajille vuosittain noin 20 miljardia euroa. MitÃ¤ tÃ¤llaisilla poskettomilla summilla sitten muka on saatu aikaan? Onko kukaan tÃ¤mÃ¤n rakennuksen ulkopuolella edes kuullut moisen rahaston olemassaolosta? Kun nykyinen monivuotinen rahoituskehys siis tulee pÃ¤Ã¤tÃ¶kseensÃ¤ ja minulta kysytÃ¤Ã¤n, mikÃ¤ on mielestÃ¤ni paras mahdollinen tulevaisuus tÃ¤lle sosiaalirahastolle, vastaus on hyvin yksinkertainen: rahat puolustukseen.
KommissionsprÃ¤sidentin von der Leyen hat versprochen, an den Zielen der Gesetze festzuhalten, aber die Anwendung praktikabler zu machen. Klingt gut, stimmt aber nicht. Wenn man pauschal 90Â % der Unternehmen weitestgehend vom Anwendungsbereich von zentralen Gesetzen ausnehmen will, dann legt man die Axt ans Gesetz. Statt die Gesetze unbrauchbar zu machen, mÃ¼ssen wir darÃ¼ber reden, wie wir sie besser umsetzen kÃ¶nnen. Dazu gehÃ¶ren beispielsweise ÃbergangsplÃ¤ne statt pauschale Ausnahmen. Dazu gehÃ¶rt auch, ja, eine stÃ¤rkere Unterscheidung zwischen groÃen Konzernen und kleinen Handwerksbetrieben. Aber das, was jetzt vorliegt, schieÃt deutlich Ã¼ber das Ziel hinaus. Deshalb bleiben wir GrÃ¼ne sehr skeptisch und hoffen, dass im Gesetzgebungsprozess noch Ãnderungen gemacht werden kÃ¶nnen.
Right-wing politics gave us the banking and economic crash, the climate crisis, the rise of homophobia and racism and the vaccine hesitancy that cost lives. It is right-wing policies that fuel homelessness and lead to poorer pay, more discrimination and unsafe work environments. And it is the politics of the right that pours petrol on the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza. So we must greet the promotion of 'simplification' and 'cutting red tape' with deep suspicion. Our environmental and social standards were hard fought for. We cannot allow the rest of this Parliament to be driven by a deregulation agenda. The market has no conscience â neither, it seems, do those who worship it.
Now we face new challenges, like the threat of war. Let us not forget how we handled COVID-19. We need to be bold and stay united. By learning from that time we can build a more resilient and cohesive Europe. This will help us face any future crisis with determination and unity.
Ich mÃ¶chte noch einmal ganz besonders, weil der Umweltausschuss da federfÃ¼hrend ist, die VorschlÃ¤ge fÃ¼r CBAM unterstÃ¼tzen. Wir brauchen einen Grenzausgleichsmechanismus, um unsere Unternehmen, die sich auf den Weg zur KlimaneutralitÃ¤t gemacht haben, vor billigen, dreckigen Importen zu schÃ¼tzen. Das ist nÃ¶tig. Aber wenn ein MittelstÃ¤ndler ein Paket Schrauben bestellt, dann brauchen wir doch keine Berichtspflichten fÃ¼r den. Oder ein 16-jÃ¤hriger Jugendlicher, der ein Ersatzteil fÃ¼r sein Moped bestellt hat und dann einen Fragebogen zu CBAM zugeschickt bekommt â das ist doch absurd! Wir mÃ¼ssen uns auf die groÃen Mengen konzentrieren. Das macht der Kommissionsvorschlag. Deswegen sollten wir diesen Vorschlag so schnell wie mÃ¶glich annehmen, Vereinfachung einfach mal machen. (Der Redner ist damit einverstanden, auf eine Frage nach dem Verfahren der âblauen Karteâ zu antworten.)
So we vote on the Greens' request by a show of hands. (Parliament approved the request) The agenda is now adopted and the order of business is thus established.
Je vous imagine Ã la Commission europÃ©enne: la planÃ¨te est en train de cramer Ã +Â 4Â Â°C, les multinationales continuent dâengranger des profits en violant les droits de lâhomme, et lÃ vous vous dites: Â«EurÃªka! DÃ©barrassons-nous des seules rÃ©gulations qui existent pour demander des comptes aux entreprises!Â» Avec ce paquet Â«omnibusÂ», vous offrez un blanc-seing aux entreprises qui vont dÃ©truire la planÃ¨te et exploiter les travailleurs. Vous jetez le devoir de vigilance des multinationales Ã la poubelle, en limitant la responsabilitÃ© aux seuls partenaires directs, trahissant son principe mÃªme, et en supprimant les sanctions financiÃ¨res. Tant pis si des entreprises comme Shein, Total ou Vinci continuent allÃ¨grement de violer les droits de lâhomme et de dÃ©truire lâenvironnement en toute impunitÃ©. Aussi longtemps que nous serons ici, vous pouvez compter sur mon groupe pour se battre afin de protÃ©ger ces rÃ©glementations et dâempÃªcher les multinationales de faire leur loi et de gÃ©nÃ©rer des profits au dÃ©triment de nos vies.
Oui, nous avons besoin de simplifier et nous le dirons tous ici aujourdâhui. Cependant, vous ne simplifiez pas; vous avez dÃ©cidÃ© dâemprunter Ã tombeau ouvert lâautoroute de la dÃ©rÃ©gulation. Ce faisant, vous mettez Ã mal notre souverainetÃ©, nos valeurs et la transition vers une Ã©conomie responsable, parce que,Â en dÃ©faisant ce que nous avions commencÃ© Ã construire, vous dÃ©couragez et vous sanctionnez les entreprises et les investisseurs responsables qui ont dÃ©jÃ engagÃ© le changement. Pour rÃ©sumer, vous sanctionnez la vertu et vous encouragez le vice. Vous osez Ã©crire que les entreprises qui ne respecteront pas leurs obligations climatiques, Madame la Commissaire, pourront poursuivre leurs activitÃ©s en toute tranquillitÃ©. Faut-il vraiment encourager les activitÃ©s climaticides? Vous avez Ã©galement pour objectif de rÃ©duire de 90Â % le nombre dâentreprises concernÃ©es par des obligations de transparence, dont des secteurs Ã haut risque, comme lâindustrie miniÃ¨re. Est-ce vraiment raisonnable? Non. Nous ne sommes pas dupes. Si vous choisissez effectivement lâalliance avec lâextrÃªme droite, vous ferez le choix non pas de rÃ©duire la bureaucratie, mais bien dâÃ©tendre sans limite le domaine de lâimpunitÃ©. Cette politique, nous la combattrons.
Today's discussion reinforced the crucial message: in times of crisis, reliable friends matter. Moldova faced an unprecedented attempt at destabilisation through energy blackmail, disinformation and economic pressure. The EU responded with action. With the Reform and Growth Facility, we are accelerating this path. And to be on the side of facts, meaning to be on the side of the truth, we agreed to allocate EURÂ 520Â million in grants, alongside with EURÂ 1.5Â billion in low-interest loans. Hearing about lack of transparency, my message: we haven't started yet. And I will make sure with my services that every euro will be spent as it should be spent. So Moldova's future is in Europe, and we are helping the country advance on its reforms and strengthen its institutions. As Moldova advances, it will not walk alone. The EU will remain a reliable partner, helping the Moldovan people move closer to their home in Europe, which is a free, secure and prosperous society.
Neste processo, ficou patente que, quando chamado com urgÃªncia a pronunciar-se, o Parlamento Europeu estÃ¡ apto a responder, fazendo da solidariedade europeia a sua prioridade. E, enquanto codecisor, autoridade orÃ§amental, estÃ¡ Ã altura daquelas que sÃ£o as suas atribuiÃ§Ãµes pelo Tratado â e continuarÃ¡ a estar, sem dÃºvida, em todos os processos. O Parlamento fez ainda ajustes importantes neste mecanismo, nomeadamente no aumento da taxa de prÃ©-financiamento de 7Â % para 18Â % e na alteraÃ§Ã£o da componente Â«subsÃ­dioÂ» de 16Â % para 20,5Â %. Defendemos tambÃ©m uma maior capacidade administrativa da MoldÃ¡via e, por isso, temos mais financiamento dedicado ao fortalecimento das suas instituiÃ§Ãµes. Por fim, o Parlamento tem ainda uma supervisÃ£o reforÃ§ada, num diÃ¡logo entre o Parlamento e a ComissÃ£o, para rever o progresso na implementaÃ§Ã£o deste mecanismo. Fica claro o nosso compromisso com o povo moldavo e o nosso empenho no percurso da MoldÃ¡via rumo Ã adesÃ£o Ã UniÃ£o Europeia.

La referendumul privind aderarea Republicii Moldova la Uniunea EuropeanÄ, Rusia a risipit peste 100 de milioane de euro Ã®n bani murdari, Ã®ncercÃ¢nd sÄ influenÈeze rezultatul. ÃnsÄ ChiÈinÄul a rezistat Ã®ntr-un mod absolut exemplar, iar Moldova este astÄzi un adevÄrat model pentru statele deja membre ale Uniunii Ã®n ceea ce priveÈte combaterea ameninÈÄrilor hibride. Un stat care din 1992 rezistÄ cu Armata a 14-a a Rusiei pe teritoriul sÄu, care a sÄrit Ã®n ajutorul Ucrainei odatÄ cu invazia rusÄ Èi care nu se abate nicio secundÄ de la viitorul european, meritÄ tot sprijinul nostru. Iar pentru Vladimir Putin mesajul este unul foarte clar: Europa Ètie sÄ se mobilizeze Èi sÄ sprijine concret un stat prieten Èi candidat la aderare. Putin a Ã®ncercat sÄ pÄcÄleascÄ o ÈarÄ cu 100 de milioane pentru propagandÄ. Noi rÄspundem cu 2 miliarde, cu aproape 2 miliarde pentru dezvoltare. Da, domnule Putin, Uniunea existÄ Èi nu pleacÄ nicÄieri. OricÃ¢t s-ar schimba direcÈia din care bate vÃ¢ntul geopolitic, un lucru este confirmat astÄzi din nou: Europa nu-Èi va abandona aliaÈii Èi prietenii. Avem capacitatea Èi avem determinarea de a pÄstra Europa un continent al pÄcii Èi bunÄstÄrii pentru oameni. MÃ¢ine, la votul pentru facilitatea de creÈtere, vom face un pas ferm Ã®n aceastÄ direcÈie. Ãn cazul Moldovei vom mai face paÈi la negocierea viitorului buget multianual, Ã®n care ea Èi celelalte state candidate trebuie sÄ primeascÄ fonduri de preaderare. Nimic nu ne va abate de la acest drum, la fel cum Moldova nu a ezitat niciodatÄ sÄ probeze cu fapte aspiraÈia europeanÄ.
Maar er zijn ook best wel vragen te stellen bij deze voorstellen. Hoe denkt de Commissie bijvoorbeeld misstanden als kinderarbeid en slavernij te bestrijden als bedrijven niet langer verder hoeven te kijken dan hun directe zakenrelaties? We willen graag een verduidelijking van dit specifieke punt. Ondertussen roep ik de Commissie op om ook andere wetgeving onder handen te nemen. Denk aan de eveneens doorgeslagen natuurherstelwet en de sterk verouderde nitraatrichtlijn: wetgeving die met name het agrarisch bedrijfsleven heel wat hoofdbrekens kost. Deze vereenvoudigingsoperatie mag niet beperkt blijven tot de voorstellen die nu voorliggen.
We zijn geen "market makers" meer. Met name tegen de collega's van de S&D wil ik graag zeggen dat de wereld echt is veranderd. We zijn niet meer de baas. De kracht van onze economie en de concurrentiekracht van onze bedrijven zijn nu essentieel om ons te beschermen en relevant te blijven in de wereld. En dat gaat niet goed. Het afgelopen mandaat was dit Huis massaproducent van meer wetten en regelgeving, met meer complexiteit: taxonomie, CSRD en CSDDD zijn daar heel goede voorbeelden van. Het is veelzeggend dat er nu wetgeving wordt aangepast die nog niet eens is ingegaan. Als we onze bedrijven en vooral het MKB niet ontzien, kunnen ze hun positie op de wereldmarkt wel vergeten. Dat is al gebeurd met de staal-, chemie- en cementsector. We moeten vereenvoudigen om concurrerend te blijven. Maar laten we ook eens beginnen met onze bedrijven gewoon te vertrouwen en te verwachten dat ze hun werk goed willen doen. Uit onderzoek blijkt dat de complexiteit van de regelgeving een van de belangrijkste redenen is voor ondernemers om hun activiteiten stop te zetten. Daarom is deze eerste Omnibus een stap in de goede richting. Ik hoop op een hele serie van Omnibussen. Ons verzet tegen de complexiteit van de regelgeving moet langdurig en vasthoudend zijn, op alle niveaus. Dit is nodig voor onze bestaanzekerheid en om het vertrouwen van ondernemers in het Europese project te herstellen.
The recent cyclones affecting Mayotte and RÃ©union remind us of the urgent need to reinforce disaster-resilience and climate-adaptation measures across the Union. The European Union's response to these events demonstrates our unwavering solidarity and commitment to supporting affected communities, not only in the immediate aftermath, but also in the long-term rebuilding process. Through disaster risk-management investments and strategic climate adaptation planning, we are working to reduce vulnerability and strengthen preparedness. The importance of early warning systems, nature-based solutions and targeted financial instruments cannot be overstated. They are essential components of a comprehensive approach to disaster resilience, ensuring that regions can withstand future challenges. The Commission remains a steadfast partner in these efforts. We will continue to mobilise resources, provide technical assistance and foster collaboration between Member States. Our goal is clear: to build a more resilient and better prepared Europe in the face of an increasingly unpredictable climate. As always, we count on the cooperation and support of the Parliament as we strive to achieve this goal. Let us work together to protect our people, our communities and our shared future.
First of all, dear colleagues, two years ago, on 28 February 2023, in Tempi, Greece, a tragic railway accident cost 57 people their lives and injured even more. We mark a sad anniversary today as our hearts go out to the victims, to those who lost their loved ones and to the injured who still bear the scars of that day. This House remembers them and honours them. Over the coming months, we will celebrate also the 35thÂ anniversary of the assertion of state continuity of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, enshrining their independence de jure under international law throughout different illegal occupations and annexations of the 20thÂ century. These anniversaries remind us again of the sacrifice of so many for the liberty that we enjoy today, and underscore our determination never to allow another generation of Europeans to be lost behind an Iron Curtain. Tomorrow at noon, we will once again welcome national leader of Belarus, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, to this plenary, along with other brave women from Ukraine and Belarus, who are standing up for liberty in order to mark International Women's Day. May I ask that you are present. I count on you and your colleagues to be here then, because this week will also serve to reaffirm this House's steadfast support for the people of Belarus and their struggle for freedom, including political prisoners. And to express this solidarity and to mark the International Day of Solidarity with Belarus, the European Parliament is once again offering you, as Members of this Parliament, the opportunity to sign postcards addressed to the 1Â 250 political prisoners who are unfairly imprisoned by Lukashenka's regime. I urge you to join in this action to show them that their sacrifice will not remain unanswered. Last year, this initiative was extremely successful â in the previous mandate, in the previous Parliament. I ask that we make this year's even more so. We know their names, we see their struggle and we stand with them. So this message and this initiative will send the strongest of messages that they are not alone. (Applause)
Desmantelan, casi por completo, la diligencia debida. Esto significa que dejan abandonados a los eslabones mÃ¡s vulnerables de la cadena, que recortan la responsabilidad civil obligatoria y que limitan muchÃ­simo el acceso a la justicia de las vÃ­ctimas. Eso es lo que ustedes hacen. En materia de sostenibilidad, lo abandonan todo a la voluntariedad: el que quiera que lo haga y el que no, no. Y eso es nefasto para el medio ambiente, pero es muy injusto para quienes sÃ­ cumplen las normas. Nefasto e injusto a la vez. Y la guinda de este pastel âun pastel envenenadoâ es que debilitan la taxonomÃ­a. SeÃ±ora comisaria: flexibilidad, simplificaciÃ³n... sÃ­, siempre sÃ­. Ahora bien, desregulaciÃ³n, retroceso... Â¡nunca! Por supuesto que hay que ayudar a las empresas, especialmente a las pequeÃ±as y medianas empresas, pero con esta propuesta ustedes someten el interÃ©s general a los intereses privados de unos pocos poderosos, y ese no es el camino, seÃ±ora comisaria.

Le peuple rÃ©unionnais a perdu cinq des siens. Des milliers de foyers ont perdu lâaccÃ¨s Ã lâÃ©lectricitÃ© et Ã lâeau. Les paysans perdent Ã nouveau leurs rÃ©coltes, des chouchous Ã la canne, et Ã Saint-BenoÃ®t, lâune des villes les plus pauvres de lâÃ®le, des centaines de familles vivent encore en centre dâhÃ©bergement. La France a dÃ©clarÃ© lâÃ©tat de calamitÃ© naturelle. Elle doit aussi dÃ©clarer le blocage des prix, et lâEurope doit prÃªter main forte. Nous devons aussi impÃ©rativement dÃ©velopper une culture du risque. Dâabord, dans lâamÃ©nagement du territoire: il faut cesser de construire en zone inondable et dans les ravines, tenir compte des conclusions des scientifiques et investir lâargent public dans la protection des populations et de la nature, plutÃ´t que dans de nouveaux projets routiers, inutiles. Ensuite, dans la solidaritÃ©, parce que les plus vulnÃ©rables sont toujours en premiÃ¨re ligne; alors plaÃ§ons-les au cÅur de la future stratÃ©gie europÃ©enne dâadaptation au dÃ©rÃ¨glement climatique. Chers collÃ¨gues, ne faisons pas de La RÃ©union un nouveau symbole de notre inaction, mais au contraire plaÃ§ons-la au cÅur de toutes nos actions.
Cele 1,9 miliarde de euro nu sunt doar un cec de solidaritate, ci un angajament ferm pentru modernizare, stabilitate Èi integrare europeanÄ.Â Aceste fonduri trebuie sÄ producÄ rezultate vizibile pentru cetÄÈeni. Am propus amendamente esenÈiale care au fost adoptate Èi care vor contribui direct la succesul acestui plan Èi le mulÈumesc raportorilor: - sprijinirea zonelor rurale Èi a politicilor pentru copii, fonduri europene care au sÄ ajungÄ acolo unde este cea mai mare nevoie, - implicarea diasporei Ã®n implementarea mÄsurilor â milioane de moldoveni trÄiesc Èi muncesc Ã®n alte state europene Èi vor juca astfel un rol esenÈial Ã®n dezvoltarea ÈÄrii, - investiÈii strategice Ã®n interconectÄri cu RomÃ¢nia, mai ales pe zona de energie. Mai mult, pentru utilizarea eficientÄ a acestor fonduri am propus Èi se va deschide chiar acum, s-a aprobat, un birou al Parlamentului European la ChiÈinÄu, o iniÈiativÄ pe care am avut-o Ã®n calitate de vicepreÈedinte al Parlamentului European, responsabil de relaÈia cu Republica Moldova. IatÄ cÄ Republica Moldova are uÈa deschisÄ Ã®n Europa. Europa sprijinÄ Republica Moldova. Republica Moldova are o oportunitate istoricÄ pe care nu o poate rata. AveÈi tot sprijinul din partea Parlamentului European.
But I also see â and this is important for the Greens as well to see â that we have a problem with the competitiveness. That is why it's so important to open up these files. That's so good that the Commission comes up with the first Omnibus package to change this. This is not enough, though. We have to continue. We have to cut red tape even more than in these proposals. And for all the political groups that would like to do that, I am sure that EPP will work together with you to cut the red tape, to increase the growth, to come back to competitiveness. That is what we can do. And then we get the resources also to focus on the green issues.
Dass jetzt hier in diesem Parlament so viel Kritik kommt, Frau Kommissarin, zeigt eigentlich, dass Sie relativ gut einen Mittelweg gefunden haben, der am Ende auch mehrheitsfÃ¤hig sein kann. Ich glaube, dass wir an einigen Stellen einfach auch noch Beispiele brauchen, die zeigen, dass das, was hier teilweise von Sozialdemokraten und GrÃ¼nen vorgebracht wurde, einigermaÃen fehl am Platz ist. Denn es geht nicht darum, zu deregulieren in breitem Stil. Es geht darum, die Verantwortung bei den Unternehmen vor Ort zu belassen, die sich ja alle mit der Gesetzeslage auch selber konform erklÃ¤ren mÃ¼ssen, aber darÃ¼ber eben kÃ¼nftig nicht mehr jedes Jahr im Einzelnen berichten mÃ¼ssen. Das ist ein wichtiger Fortschritt, der viel zur Vereinfachung beitrÃ¤gt, der auch viel zu Vertrauen von Unternehmen wieder im Markt beitrÃ¤gt. Und BÃ¼rokratie bedeutet ja nichts anderes als Verwaltungsaufwand. Das Gesetz bedeutet nicht, dass nichtkonformes Handeln kÃ¼nftig akzeptiert wÃ¼rde, sondern es bedeutet, dass Ã¼ber die Einhaltung der Gesetze nicht zusÃ¤tzlich berichtet werden mussÂ â andere Staaten der Welt schaffen das auch. Deswegen sollten wir den Weg, den Mario Draghi in seinem Bericht durchaus klar vorgelegt hat, jetzt weiter konsequent verfolgen und zÃ¼gig auf seine Umsetzung setzen. So kann Europa wieder wettbewerbsfÃ¤hig werden.
Tel le fasciste argentin JavierÂ Milei âÂ et sa tronÃ§onneuseÂ â, vous dÃ©tricotez mÃ©thodiquement le pacte vert. La taxonomie verte europÃ©enne? Dehors. Le devoir de vigilance? Dehors. Lâobligation de transparence sur la durabilitÃ© des entreprises? Dehors. Lâajustement carbone aux frontiÃ¨res? Dehors. Vous donnez carte blanche Ã Shein, Ã Lactalis et Ã TotalEnergies pour polluer et maltraiter leurs salariÃ©s Ã loisir, en Europe comme Ã lâÃ©tranger. La simplification, câest lâalibi des multinationales pour massacrer les droits sociaux et environnementaux. Vous pensez Ã leur argent; nous pensons aux vivants. Vous Ãªtes avec les puissants; nous sommes avec les gens.
Planul de creÈtere al Uniunii Europene este un semnal clar. Republica Moldova trebuie sprijinitÄ sÄ se decupleze definitiv de influenÈele rÄsÄritene. Reforma, modernizarea, distanÈarea faÈÄ de moÈtenirea sovieticÄ, toate acestea trebuie Ã®ncurajate cu fermitate. Am votat pentru un sprijin de 1,9 miliarde de euro pentru Republica Moldova. Nu este doar un ajutor financiar, este o declaraÈie politicÄ cÄ suntem alÄturi de fraÈii noÈtri de peste Prut. Uniunea face puterea Èi poate Ã®ntr-o zi aceastÄ reunire politicÄ, economicÄ Èi sufleteascÄ va fi desÄvÃ¢rÈitÄ sub acelaÈi tricolor Ã®n Uniunea EuropeanÄ. PÃ¢nÄ atunci, Republica Moldova are nevoie de sprijinul nostru. Acum, aici, concret.
Ik roep de Commissie dan ook op om de komende tijd meer ambitie te tonen. Dit is een heel goed voorstel, maar het gaat nog niet ver genoeg. U bevindt zich op een betere weg. Zoals we in Nederland zeggen: "Beter ten halve gekeerd dan ten hele gedwaald". Ik wens u daarbij heel veel succes.
In the quickly changing world order, we need to start backing words with deeds. And this growth plan shows that we will invest to lift people out of poverty, build solar panels, schools and hospitals. This growth plan shows strong reforms will make Moldova ready to join the EU. And this growth plan shows Europe chose Moldova. And it tells it tells those that want to join our Union, if you walk the path to Europe, Europe will walk with you. We did this in four months, which for the EU is as fast as travelling at the speed of light. And the Moldovans are not wasting time either. Last week they joined the Single Euro Payments Area. So let's vote in favour of this growth plan and show the people in Moldova, you'll never walk alone.
In ChiÈinÄu my impression was â and I felt â a profound sense of optimism surrounding the transformative potential of a EURÂ 1.9Â billion facility, because it offers much more than just financial assistance: it brings hope for a brighter future. The facility will significantly improve the country's infrastructure. Thanks to our support as a European Union, Moldova can finally reduce its dependence on Russia. But this brings me to a critical point. With more and more malign interference and an intentionally orchestrated energy crisis, the Kremlin is trying to destabilise Moldova's democracy and foster discontent ahead of the upcoming parliamentary elections in autumn. Moldova embodies Europe's core values, showing unwavering solidarity with Ukrainian refugees, demonstrating remarkable resilience in the face of Russia's blackmail, and displaying immense courage in aligning the country's future with a united Europe. President Maia Sandu has done tremendously in addressing the impact of the war on Moldova's doorstep, while bringing the country closer to the European Union. Our message to the people of Moldova is and remains: we hear you, we see you, and we will stand by you.
Ovaj fond, vrijedan gotovo 1,9 milijardi eura, potaknut Äe Moldovu na provedbu nuÅ¾nih reformi, jaÄanje institucija i ubrzanje integracije u europske, gospodarske i politiÄke tokove kroz usko povezivanje investicija s reformama, sliÄno kao i za plan rasta za takozvani zapadni Balkan. PoveÄano pretfinanciranje i dodatna bespovratna sredstva osigurat Äe ne samo da drÅ¾ava izdrÅ¾i trenutne izazove, veÄ i ostvari konkretne pomake na svom europskom putu. Ulaganje u sigurnost, ulaganje u demokraciju i stabilnost naÅ¡eg susjedstva ulaganje je u sigurniju i prosperitetniju Europu za sve nas. Äestitam izvjestiteljima Siegfriedu MureÅanu i Svenu Mikseru na njihovom trudu i na uspjeÅ¡nom zavrÅ¡etku pregovora.
And my question is â to S&D â you ask to work with us, we are ready to work with everybody here. But the question is, what is S&D actually ready to change in the current proposals? What is it?
Ambii competitori care au cÃ¢Ètigat turul unu al alegerilor din 24 noiembrie 2024, ambii, inclusiv Lasconi, Èi cÄrora li s-a refuzat turul doi, considerÄ cÄ anularea alegerilor Èi interzicerea unor candidaÈi sunt ilegitime. Precedentul romÃ¢nesc s-ar putea extinde Ã®n toatÄ Uniunea, fapt care ar determina destrÄmarea Ã®ncrederii poporului Ã®n democraÈie Èi Ã®n justiÈie. Nu ne dorim asta, stimaÈi colegi. Fundamentul democratic al Uniunii Europene este reprezentat de pluralism politic Èi alegeri libere. Dar sistemul birocratic european nu are Ã®ncredere Ã®n opÈiunile omului de rÃ¢nd, pe care Ã®l vede inapt de decizii de vot responsabile. Pentru binele mai mare, Uniunea EuropeanÄ a instituit scutul democratic european ca un fel de vaccin anti disidenÈi. Dar cu ce ne face asta diferiÈi de Uniunea SovieticÄ?
Ladies and gentlemen, if democracy were to effect change, that is the sole reason for having a democracy. You can effect change. But what we are seeing now is actually that people can vote for whoever they want and if they don't like the candidate, they just bar him or put him in jail. As democrats, we cannot stand for this. The European Commission states that in a healthy democracy, citizens can freely choose their leaders. If the Romanian people choose Georgescu, why do we interfere and why do we stop it? This has nothing to do with democracy. We need to have a debate on this to get back to our senses. I urge you to vote for this proposal.
Ã lâheure oÃ¹ nous parlons, des milliers de foyers subissent des coupures dâeau, dâÃ©lectricitÃ© et de communications. Il est urgent dâinvestir dans des infrastructures rÃ©silientes, notamment paracycloniques, et de garantir une autonomie Ã©nergÃ©tique pour mieux prÃ©parer lâÃ®le Ã ces Ã©pisodes extrÃªmes. Cette prÃ©paration passe bien sÃ»r aussi par lâaccÃ©lÃ©ration du dÃ©ploiement des fonds europÃ©ens. Je pense ici au dispositif Restore, que les rÃ©centes catastrophes sur le sol europÃ©en ont rendu plus nÃ©cessaire que jamais. Lâoutre-mer est un atout pour lâEurope, ne les oublions pas.
- Ã®n primul rÃ¢nd, o bibliografie legislativÄ Èi administrativÄ completÄ pentru reformele pe care trebuie sÄ le implementeze, tradusÄ Ã®n limba romÃ¢nÄ Èi testatÄ Ã®n practicÄ de autoritÄÈile de la BucureÈti; - Ã®n al doilea rÃ¢nd, un parteneriat solid cu RomÃ¢nia, care a rezolvat operativ cam toate crizele Èi incidentele de naturÄ economicÄ prin care au trecut fraÈii noÈtri de dincolo de Prut. RomÃ¢nia a strÄbÄtut un drum complicat Èi plin de provocÄri Ã®n procesul de aderare la UE, iar unele dintre greÈelile Èi cedÄrile fÄcute atunci Ã®Èi produc efectele devastatoare pentru economia naÈionalÄ Èi astÄzi, la aproape 20 de ani distanÈÄ. Ar fi cu atÃ¢t mai dureros sÄ vedem asemenea erori repetÃ¢ndu-se Ã®n anii care vin. Mecanismul de reformÄ Èi creÈtere este Ã®n mod evident o oportunitate majorÄ pentru Republica Moldova, mai ales Ã®n aceste vremuri tulburi. DeÈi credem Ã®n continuare cÄ parcursul natural cÄtre Uniunea EuropeanÄ pentru Republica Moldova ar fi fost reunificarea cu RomÃ¢nia, vom continua sÄ fim primii care sÄ sprijine Ã®n mod necondiÈionat procesele de modernizare Èi democratizare asumate cu sinceritate de administraÈia de la ChiÈinÄu.
Il conviendrait Ã©galement de mettre en place une avance sur recettes garantie par lâUnion europÃ©enne. Cet outil permettrait aux entreprises locales de mieux accÃ©der aux financements et Ã©viterait que des projets importants pour le dÃ©veloppement de nos outre-mer ne se retrouvent mort-nÃ©s pour des questions de dÃ©lais de financement. Il est temps de simplifier les dÃ©marches et dâadapter les rÃ©glementations aux rÃ©alitÃ©s ultramarines. LâUnion europÃ©enne a choisi dâintÃ©grer les rÃ©gions ultramarines depuisÂ 1992, en crÃ©ant les rÃ©gions ultrapÃ©riphÃ©riques. Elle ne doit pas Ãªtre un frein, mais un vÃ©ritable soutien Ã leur dÃ©veloppement.
En France, nos artisans, nos agriculteurs et nos industriels sont submergÃ©s par une avalanche de normes et de contraintes bureaucratiques. En cinq ans, 850Â nouvelles obligations europÃ©ennes ont Ã©tÃ© imposÃ©es, reprÃ©sentant prÃ¨s de 5Â 000Â pages de rÃ©glementation supplÃ©mentaires. RÃ©sultat: des dÃ©lais interminables pour obtenir un simple permis de construire, des dÃ©marches absurdes pour accÃ©der aux aides publiques et des TPE/PME pÃ©nalisÃ©es face aux grandes entreprises, qui, elles, disposent dâune armÃ©e de juristes pour naviguer dans ce labyrinthe administratif. Un exemple frappant: nos agriculteurs croulent sous les exigences de la PAC, pendant que leurs concurrents extra-europÃ©ens bÃ©nÃ©ficient de rÃ¨gles plus souples. Nos PME industrielles, notamment dans lâautomobile, voient leur compÃ©titivitÃ© affaiblie par des surtranspositions absurdes. Nous proposons une rÃ©volution administrative, passant par une pause rÃ©glementaire, la suppression des surtranspositions nationales et un droit de dÃ©rogation pour les Ãtats membres. Il est temps de libÃ©rer nos entreprises de cette asphyxie bureaucratique et de redonner Ã nos Ã©conomies les moyens de croÃ®tre et dâinnover.
Europa w ten sposÃ³b traci konkurencyjnoÅÄ i poza tym oddaje siÄ polityce klimatycznej, ktÃ³ra do niczego nie doprowadzi. Bo co z tego, Å¼e my ograniczamy co roku zuÅ¼ycie wÄgla, skoro caÅy Åwiat jeszcze wiÄcej go zuÅ¼ywa? PrzecieÅ¼ nie jesteÅmy otoczeni Å¼adnÄ szklanÄ kopuÅÄ .

Because of that reckless attitude, we, the Europeans are in huge danger. EU is losing the international race. China and US are growing faster, more stable and more innovative. Many nations are mocking the EU with such excessive bureaucracy. Our continent has become a sick man of the world. We urgently need to deregulate our economy, we have to break the chains that hinder our growth. The Commission is proposing the Omnibus package. It is a step in the right direction, but it's a very small step. It's not enough. The Omnibus initiative is shallow. You are trying to avoid making â Madam is absent, of course â you are trying to avoid making hard decisions. We need new deregulations with which we shout: cut, cut, cut and, once again, cut. We have to throw a lot of directives into trash where they belong. There is a lot of work ahead of us to get rid of the unnecessary burdens from our economy. The Omnibus proposal needs to be amended and extended.
I see a hand up there. Go ahead, MrÂ Panayiotou. Sorry, MrÂ Sieper. I can't see that far.
In accordance with Rule 9(9), the following report is added to the final draft agenda for a vote on Tuesday: report by Dainius Å½alimasÂ on the request for waiver of the immunity of Adam Bielan. With the agreement of the political groups, I also wish to put to the House the following proposal for changes to the final draft agenda for Tuesday. The order of debates in the afternoon will change as follows. The debate on the presentation of the proposal for a Critical Medicines Act will be taken as the second point, and the debate on the presentation of the proposal on a new common approach on returns will be taken as the third point. If there are no objections to this, then the change will be approved. We now move to changes requested by the political groups, starting with Wednesday. The ECR Group has requested that Council and Commission statements on 'Recent events in Romania: the ongoing investigation into the presidential candidate' be added as the fifth point in the afternoon, before the debate on frozen Russian assets. As a consequence, the sitting would be extended to 11Â p.m. I give the floor to Gheorghe Piperea to move the request on behalf of the ECR.
Par ailleurs, un projet dâimplantation de parc industriel Ã©olien au large de Dunkerque est Ã lâÃ©tude. Cette implantation, prÃ©vue sur une surface de plus de 50Â kilomÃ¨tres carrÃ©s, ne peut que se heurter Ã cette question, qui devient dÃ¨s lors trÃ¨s urgente et particuliÃ¨rement dÃ©licate. Il faut Ã©galement noter quâune partie de la mer du Nord est classÃ©e en zone NaturaÂ 2000. Il est donc primordial que ce problÃ¨me ne soit pas ignorÃ©, ni par les Ãtats membres ni par notre institution. Il en va de la pÃ©rennitÃ© de notre Ã©cosystÃ¨me et de la bonne santÃ© Ã©conomique de la moitiÃ© nord de lâEurope.
Abuzul electoral, interzicerea unor cetÄÈeni de a candida Èi Ã®mpiedicarea unei pÄturi importante a societÄÈii de a-Èi exercita dreptul legitim de vot, par sÄ fi devenit noua regulÄ din RomÃ¢nia. Prin cenzura electoralÄ, autoritÄÈile romÃ¢ne au reuÈit performanÈa de a inflama populaÈia, creÃ¢nd tensiune maximÄ Ã®ntr-o societate Ã®n care milioane de oameni se simt astÄzi neÃ®ndreptÄÈiÈi Èi neascultaÈi. Cum pot sÄ mai aibÄ romÃ¢nii Ã®ncredere Ã®n democraÈie sau Ã®n justiÈie? Acest coÈmar trebuie sÄ Ã®nceteze. Trebuie sÄ revenim imediat la valorile democratice Èi la libertate.
Bildung ist keine Nebensache. Bildung ist die absolute Grundlage fÃ¼r nachhaltige gesellschaftliche Entwicklung. Wer Bildung fÃ¶rdert, investiert in die demokratischen Werte, soziale Gerechtigkeit und wirtschaftliche Entwicklung. Deshalb muss der ESF+ nach 2027 vor allem eins seinÂ â eine Bildungsoffensive fÃ¼r Europa. Setzen wir gemeinsam den Fokus dort, wo die Zukunft gemacht wirdÂ â in klugen KÃ¶pfen, neugierigen Herzen. Denn nur Bildung schafft Chancen, baut BrÃ¼cken und gestaltet GesellschaftenÂ â unsere europÃ¤ische GesellschaftÂ â nachhaltig. Investieren wir in Bildung, investieren wir in Europas Zukunft!
Eu posso responder-lhe o seguinte: esta proposta dÃ¡ resposta Ã quilo que tem sido um equilÃ­brio necessÃ¡rio e uma lideranÃ§a da UniÃ£o Europeia. E esse equilÃ­brio estÃ¡ em encontrarmos capacidade e respostas, em entregar resultados para o ambiente e para a economia. NÃ³s sÃ³ podemos ir ao encontro dos desÃ­gnios do ambiente se tivermos o nosso tecido econÃ³mico capacitado para o fazer. E, para terminar, nÃ³s temos um modelo social europeu para pagar e sÃ³ Ã© possÃ­vel pagarmos esse modelo social com mais competitividade, com mais crescimento econÃ³mico e aliviando a carga burocrÃ¡tica das nossas PME.
Establishing the Reform and Growth Facility for the Republic of Moldova (debate)
The real obstacle remains massive climate regulation compared to our competitors. Let's face it, too strict policies are killing our competitiveness and putting jobs at risk. What Europe needs is not endless directives from Brussels, but policies that will give Europe the chance to win. It is time to break the chains of too strict climate regulation, let businesses thrive and restore Europe to the top of the global economy.
As you just rightly recalled it, Madam Rapporteur, economic, social and environmental dimensions are interlinked for an EU growth strategy in a context of shifting geopolitical dynamics. Let me say from the outset that ensuring no one is left behind must be a key aspect of our economic policy, because we should not only look at the short term, but we want to leave a world behind in which our children and grandchildren can prosper and be educated. It must be a key dimension of the future, and it must be core to our social policies. It is not just about the fairness, it is a precondition for transformative policies. It is a precondition for growth and de-risking. First and foremost, it is a precondition for addressing emerging challenges, amongst others, demographic change is putting the sustainability and adequacy of the European welfare system under pressure. At the same time, increasing labour and skills shortages in the labour market are putting substantial pressure on economic growth and competitiveness. Between now and 2040, the European working age population will decline by 1 million persons each year. Disparities and social difficulties persist today. Still, some 95 million Europeans are at risk of poverty or social exclusion. This does not only imply social hardship, but especially also a lost potential for our economy. Social and affordable housing are increasingly important concerns for EU citizens, especially for the most vulnerable groups. This situation has important consequences for the EU's territorial, economic and social cohesion, including, I believe, a strong impact on the functioning of our democracies. To effectively address the challenges that Europe faces, we need to continue to invest in Europe's most important resource, its human capital. We must be ambitious and find ways to be more efficient to deliver on our common goals, given the complicated budgetary context we are facing. This is but one of the reasons that this Commission has issued last week the Union of Skills, a collective effort including all stakeholders across government, education and businesses. There is an urgent need for a transformative shift in Europe's approach to skills. It is vital for our future growth. But we need more. To ensure fair transition and strengthen resilience and preparedness to economic and social shifts, we must do more on providing equal opportunities and quality jobs. Cohesion policy and the ESF+ specifically have made important contributions to this. It will be essential that our proposals for the future support the continued implementation of our European way of growth, the European Pillar of Social Rights. The Commission is now preparing the proposals for the next MFF and remains in listening mode. This is a complex process. Status quo is not an option anymore. In current conversations, there are some recurrent topics that come up which you recall: the unanimous call for simplification, but also the acknowledgement of the important budgetary pressures that need to be dealt with. On 11 February, the Commission set out the road to the next Multiannual Financial Framework, a communication that builds on the political guidelines of President von der Leyen. This marks the beginning of a crucial debate on how we shape Europe's future budget, one that must reflect our shared priorities, address emerging challenges and, importantly, be designed with those who will implement it. Your contribution is crucial in shaping the future. The Commission stands ready to work, hand in hand with the European Parliament to build a strong and resilient MFF in the complex economic, social and geostrategic situation we are facing. I look forward to a fruitful common work to come.
But this has not materialised in my country. The price of car insurance continues to rise every year, especially for young drivers, like Patrick O'Reilly from Cornafean in County Cavan: a 19-year-old boy who could insure his 2020 Volkswagen Golf for EURÂ 1Â 212 in Belgium, yet is asked to pay a staggering EURÂ 4Â 679 in Ireland. Commissioner, this is nothing short of a rip-off and no amount of prevarication over injury claims or legal costs can excuse it. We need our new Consumer Commissioner, Michael McGrath, to be brave and to seize on this issue, challenge the main players in Europe and make the single market work for European consumers.
De discussie ging echter niet over deze kwesties, maar voortdurend over OekraÃ¯ne, waarbij MoldaviÃ« zelfs als frontlinie werd aangeduid. Daar kunnen ze zelf toch ook niet blij mee zijn. Er is al forse financiÃ«le steun gekoppeld aan het toetredingsproces, maar er is nog meer hulp nodig: twee miljard aan leningen en giften. De Europese Commissie heeft tegen de regels in geen risicoâinschatting gemaakt. De wensen van de Commissie begrotingscontrole, waaronder een onafhankelijke rekenkamer en transparantie inzake de bestedingen, werden afgewezen. Het gaat om heel veel geld, meer dan 10Â % van het bnp, dus kan een land dat Ã¼berhaupt verwerken? Ik heb tegengestemd. Niet alleen vanwege het ontbreken van een analyse vooraf, het ontbreken van controle tijdens het proces en achteraf en het ontbreken van een overzicht van wie uiteindelijk het geld krijgt, maar omdat ik vind dat je voortgang in het toetredingsproces niet kunt kopen. Je onderschat de menselijke factor als je denkt met subsidies corruptie te bestrijden of het gevangeniswezen humaner te maken of de 45Â % tegenstemmers in MoldaviÃ« ook enthousiast te maken voor de Unie. Straks zijn op papier alle maatregelen doorgevoerd, maar is er praktisch niets veranderd, behalve dan dat het land lid is. Samenlevingen kunnen groeien naar een hoger niveau, maar dat gaat niet sneller als je dat aan de Europese Unie uitbesteedt. Ook niet voor twee miljard.
AstÄzi, Uniunea EuropeanÄ face mai mult decÃ¢t sÄ-Èi reafirme sprijinul pentru Republica Moldova. AstÄzi, Uniunea EuropeanÄ face un pas decisiv pentru viitorul pe care cetÄÈenii Republicii Moldova Ã®l meritÄ. Un viitor al prosperitÄÈii, al reformelor reale, al unei economii care creeazÄ oportunitÄÈi pentru toÈi. Acolo unde Rusia Ã®ncearcÄ sÄ pÄcÄleascÄ cu propagandÄ mincinoasÄ, Moldova alege Europa, iar Europa Ã®Èi respectÄ cuvÃ¢ntul dat. Prin acest program de 2 miliarde de euro investim nu doar Ã®n infrastructurÄ, energie, ci Èi Ã®n viitorul fiecÄrui copil, Ã®n siguranÈa fiecÄrei familii, Ã®n puterea fiecÄrui antreprenor care crede Ã®ntr-o MoldovÄ europeanÄ. Ètim cÄ provocÄrile sunt mari, dar Ètim Èi cÄ cetÄÈenii Republicii Moldova au demonstrat iarÄÈi Èi iarÄÈi cÄ au curajul Èi hotÄrÃ¢rea de a merge Ã®nainte. AstÄzi, Uniunea EuropeanÄ nu doar sprijinÄ, ci crede Ã®n Moldova. Faptele probeazÄ asta. Viitorul este Ã®n mÃ¢inile voastre, dragi cetÄÈeni ai Republicii Moldova, noi suntem aproape.
SoluÈia la problemele de securitate, economice, sociale Èi politice din Republica Moldova ar fi unirea celor douÄ state. PlÄcile tectonice ale istoriei se miÈcÄ Ã®n acest moment â cu sprijinul Uniunii Europene, visul romÃ¢nilor de o parte Èi de alta a Prutului s-ar putea Ã®ndeplini. Ètim foarte bine Ã®nsÄ cÄ stilul Bruxelles-ului Èi al Strasbourg-ului este trasul de timp, Ã®n speranÈa cÄ problemele se vor rezolva de la sine. FÄrÄ susÈinere adecvatÄ, fÄrÄ o diversificare a opÈiunilor politice pro-europene Èi pro-romÃ¢neÈti de la ChiÈinÄu, pot exista surprize neplÄcute la alegerile parlamentare. Inclusiv unioniÈtii trebuie sprijiniÈi. Revenind la mecanismul pe care vreÈi sÄ-l instituiÈi, AUR considerÄ cÄ orice sprijin pentru fraÈii basarabeni este de bun augur. Dar vreau sÄ fac trei observaÈii: - Ã®n primul rÃ¢nd, moldovenii vor vedea cÄ din acea sumÄ totalÄ de 1,9 miliarde de euro, doar 520 de milioane de euro sunt granturi, restul fiind Ã®mprumuturi condiÈionate. Raportul dintre banii nerambursabili Èi credite trebuia sÄ fie invers; - Ã®n al doilea rÃ¢nd, reformele cerute Ã®n Republica Moldova vor fi Ã®ntoarse de pro-ruÈi Ã®mpotriva actualei administraÈii Èi folosite Ã®n alegerile parlamentare. A se vedea Èi blocajul PNRR din RomÃ¢nia, condiÈionat tot de reforme care nu s-au realizat. CereÈi mai mult decÃ¢t poate duce un guvern de la ChiÈinÄu aflat sub asediu necontenit; - Èi nu Ã®n ultimul rÃ¢nd, dacÄ vreÈi sÄ rezolvaÈi problema energeticÄ a Republicii Moldova, trebuie revizuitÄ situaÈia pieÈei unice europene. RomÃ¢nia, care este autosuficientÄ pe gaze Èi electricitate, a ajuns sÄ plÄteascÄ cele mai mari facturi din Uniunea EuropeanÄ. Acest lucru este relevant pentru cÄ Republica Moldova a scÄpat de dependenÈa de Rusia, importÃ¢nd toate gazele Èi tot curentul din RomÃ¢nia. Noi producem Èi importÄm Ã®n acest moment pentru douÄ state.
30 years after the Dayton Agreement, we still have a High Representative who is receiving EURÂ 26Â 000 a month to keep Bosnia and Herzegovina in what? In disarray? We have to address the real issue that is electoral law reform. We have to close our OHR office. We have to bring Bosnia and Herzegovina to the European Union because America is leaving. The OHR office is staying only with Christian Schmidt and the Peace Implementation Council is highly influenced by Turkey and Russia. This is something that we cannot neglect in this debate. I will join the debate, I'm not speaking against the debate, but this debate and the title should be extended to: 'Urgent need to change electoral law reform in Bosnia and Herzegovina and end with international presence.'
The strong simplification dimension of the 2025 Commission work programme and our first Omnibus proposals, which we presented at the end of last month. Allow me to begin with the bigger picture. The world is changing in front of our eyes. We see dramatic shifts in the geopolitical landscape. We need to treat these developments as a call to action. The freedoms that we enjoy and the values that we cherish can no longer be taken for granted in a complex and more conflictual world. For the EU, they also depend on maintaining and further developing our economic base by adapting, innovating and competing in the world. This is why the Commission has prioritised enhancing Europe's competitiveness in this new mandate. Cutting red tape is an important element of building that competitive Europe. We have set out ambitious targets for administrative costs, reducing them by 25Â % for all companies and 35Â % for SMEs, all while ensuring cost effective delivery of the underlying policy priorities. This translates into cutting roughly EUR 37.5 billion in annual administrative costs by the end of this Commission's mandate.Â And in the end, more innovation and investment will bring prosperity and wealth for our citizens. Put simply, we cannot hope to successfully compete in a perilous world with one hand behind our backs. I want to be very clear that we remain deeply committed to building a greener and fairer society and economy. Simplification is about making sure that EU rules help deliver, rather than impede, the achievement of our economic, social, environmental and security goals, and bring wealth and prosperity to our citizens. It is about achieving those goals in a smarter and less burdensome way. Less bureaucracy means more innovation and investment that will secure our long-term prosperity. It means creating new and quality jobs for European workers. Our Communication on implementation and simplification outlines a comprehensive set of tools to sharpen the quality of our regulatory framework, and to deliver on our agreed objectives. It is constructed around four building blocks: ensuring EU policies deliver results, making Europe simpler and faster, improving the way we make new rules and strengthening our work with co-legislators and stakeholders. Taken together, it signals a change in the regulatory culture of the European Commission, focussed on making sure that EU rules are as simple and cost effective as possible while they deliver on the ground. We are already translating the principles of this second bloc into concrete actions, starting with those announced in the 2025 Commission work programme. 11 out of the 18 new initiatives in the work programme aim at simplification and they are complemented by 37 fitness checks and evaluations, which will in turn feed future simplification work. The main simplification proposals for 2025 are the following: â AÂ first Omnibus proposal on sustainability reporting, which we already presented last month, and to which I will return in a moment. â Investment simplification. Facilitating the deployment and reporting of InvestEU and the European Fund for Strategic Investments, a package including a new definition of small mid-caps so that they can benefit from more targeted, proportionate requirements. âÂ A digital package to ensure a simplified and more agile means to facilitate once-only reporting, to avoid duplications. â A proposal to reduce complexity and administrative burden for farmers and national administrations in the context of the Common Agricultural Policy, and. â The OmnibusÂ proposal to further simply rules in the defence sector. As I have mentioned, the Commission already presented the first two Omnibus proposals to simplify EU rules at the end of last month. The Omnibus package covers a far reaching simplification in the fields of sustainability reporting, sustainability, due diligence and taxonomy. The Omnibus package on investment simplification facilitates, amongst others, the deployment and reporting of InvestEU and the European Fund for Strategic investments, and simplifies reporting. Briefly, these proposals provide for a stop-the-clock proposal to delay the application of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive for companies that have not started reporting yet, freeing around 80Â % of companies currently under the scope of CSRD from mandatory reporting requirements and protecting them from excessive information requests by large companies, They make taxonomy reporting more proportionate by limiting mandatory reporting only to very large companies. They provide for a major simplification to the carbon border adjustment mechanism that limits obligations for approximately 182Â 000, or 90Â % of importers, most of which are SMEs. These first two Omnibus packages mark a strong start to delivering our simplification agenda. A conservative estimate puts the annual savings stemming from these two packages at EUR 6.3 billion. To conclude, honourable Members, as you can see, this Commission is firmly committed to improving implementation and delivering simpler and more cost-efficient rules. We hope to count on your support so that we can deliver fast and sustained changes on the ground in the coming months and years. I will stop here and look forward to our discussion.
In Moldova's steadfast home tonight, a family gathers, brave in fight; outside lurks shadow, dark and cold, yet freedom's fire burns so bold. From Europe's hearts comes aid anew, financial locks to see them through; this firewood feeds hopeful flames, that warms their dreams and breaks their chains. With every lock their courage grows, as Europe's strength through aid bestows; defying shadows, fierce and grim, Russian threats shall not break in. And so Moldova, proud and free, takes up the chance for all to see; Europe's support a beacon bright, turns darkness into hopeful light.
Das Omnibuspaket der Kommission ist ein Synonym fÃ¼r Verantwortungsflucht. Es ist ein Kniefall der KommissionsprÃ¤sidentin vor einigen wenigen groÃen Konzernen, auf deren Druck hin beschlossene Gesetze wieder aufgemacht werden. Was bedeutet das: Unternehmen haften nicht mehr. Es wird nahezu unmÃ¶glich, die Mutterfirma zur Verantwortung zu ziehen, wenn bei einer Tochterfirma Probleme identifiziert wurden. Strafzahlungen werden gestrichen. Unser Wettbewerbsvorteil in der EuropÃ¤ischen Union ist, dass die EuropÃ¤ische Union fÃ¼r QualitÃ¤t steht, dass Investorinnen und Investoren, dass Konsumentinnen und Konsumenten, dass Unternehmen und Staaten weltweit darauf zÃ¤hlen kÃ¶nnen, dass bei uns hohe Standards eingehalten werdenÂ â und das dÃ¼rfen wir nicht aufgeben.
SMEs represent 99.8Â % of all active businesses in Europe, employing nearly 90 million people. In today's volatile times, we cannot afford for our businesses and industries to be the ones to fall behind, suffocated by excessive regulation. From the automotive and energy industries to steel and aluminium, we cannot allow them to be held back by unbalanced green policies and red tape. The Omnibus package is a final call, a final call for Europe to introduce simpler rules, stronger investments and unlock potential to boost our competitiveness. Alongside with increased defence spending, the only way forward is to create a more favourable business environment. The EUR 6 billion that we can cut in annual administrative costs must be reinvested in our innovation, research and development. History will not forgive us if we don't do this step now.
Es insostenible seguir lastrando de esta manera nuestra competitividad en un momento en el que necesitamos, mÃ¡s que nunca, competir en un mundo cada vez mÃ¡s complejo e inseguro. Y la ComisiÃ³n hace bien rectificando el camino; sin embargo, nuestras empresas ya han invertido millones para adaptarse a la normativa sobre divulgaciÃ³n de informaciÃ³n no financieraÂ y ahora se preguntan cuÃ¡nto mÃ¡s tienen que reinvertir para readaptarse de nuevo. Por ello es vital no retrasar, sino congelar, la aplicaciÃ³n de estas reglas y trabajar en una nueva norma que sea seria, que dÃ© certidumbre y seguridad a nuestros sectores productivos, que favorezca la creaciÃ³n de un ecosistema europeo de pequeÃ±as y medianas empresas y empresas emergentes,Â que permita la atracciÃ³n y la retenciÃ³n del talento y que permita innovar. Competir no es una opciÃ³n, por mucho que los socialistas y los verdes digan lo contrario: es una necesidad para mantener nuestro Estado de bienestar y hoy, mÃ¡s que nunca, nuestra seguridad. Pero toda revisiÃ³n ha de hacerse con cabeza y evaluando su impacto. Si no, por muchas BrÃºjulas que aprobemos, seguiremos perdidos buscando el norte.
Just ein solcher Zyklon suchte die Insel in der vergangenen Woche heim. Windgeschwindigkeiten von Ã¼ber 200Â Stundenkilometern sorgten fÃ¼r Ãberschwemmungen, Strom- und WasserausfÃ¤lle, und tatsÃ¤chlich sind leider auch fÃ¼nf Todesopfer zu beklagen. Doch was macht die EU daraus? Statt unbÃ¼rokratisch zu helfen, so wie es Frankreich sofort getan hat, beeilt sich die EU erst einmal, einen Zusammenhang zwischen diesem Wetterereignis und einem menschengemachten Klimawandel herzustellen. Statt einfach hinzunehmen, dass Zyklone die Insel schon immer geprÃ¤gt haben, hÃ¶ren wir die ewig gleiche Leier vom menschengemachten Klimawandel. Klima Ã¤ndert sich stets. Niemand von uns kann genau sagen oder gar ausrechnen, wie groÃ unser Einfluss darauf ist. Niemand von uns kann die Frage beantworten, ob wir mit unseren MaÃnahmen zum vermeintlichen Klimaschutz unserer Umwelt, unserem Wetter, unserer Heimat nicht sogar Schaden zufÃ¼gen. Schaden werden wir aber auf jeden Fall nehmen, wenn wir es zulassen, dass demokratisch gewÃ¤hlte MinisterprÃ¤sidenten wie CÄlin Georgescu in RumÃ¤nien ihr Amt nicht antreten dÃ¼rfen und sogar von der Wiederholungswahl ausgeschlossen werden. Da zieht ein Sturm auf in Europa, und das ist der Sturm, den Europa fÃ¼rchten muss, denn der kann sich sehr schnell zu einem Zyklon entwickeln, dessen Folgen dramatisch sein dÃ¼rften.
In the current EU political climate, marked by concerns over tariffs, trade tensions and the spectre of Donald Trump, simplification in EU rules have never been more crucial.Â The Commissioner's latest simplification package could save our companies EURÂ 6.3 billion in administrative costs. However, as we streamline, we must maintain regulatory certainty and clarity. I welcome proposals to revise the scope of the CSRD, reducing heavy burdens on SMEs and enabling them to prioritise innovation.Â Yet, simplification cannot compromise our climate commitments. With clear climate targets for 2030 and beyond, the fundamental course of direction is not changing and so regulatory adjustments must reinforce, not weaken our green objectives. In this context, I have two questions for the Commission. Firstly, will the upcoming agricultural simplification be as ambitious as those in the first Omnibus proposal and can you provide more detail here, please? Secondly, in the context of the EU-UK reset, could you clarify how simplifications within the CBAM may affect alignment with the UK's ETS?
Â¿Puede caminar en la buena direcciÃ³n la reforma del Reglamento InvestEU porque permite optimizar todos los instrumentos y fondos actualmente disponiblesÂ âhasta los heredadosâ para intentar incentivar la innovaciÃ³n, la investigaciÃ³n y la competitividad sin renunciar al compromiso con la sostenibilidad y el medio ambiente, al que se dedica prÃ¡cticamente la mitad de las inversiones del Reglamento? Puede, pero no camina en la buena direcciÃ³n la degradaciÃ³n de la diligencia debida, ni de los objetivos climÃ¡ticos, ni del compromiso medioambiental. Porque si la ComisiÃ³n hace eso al servicio de los grandes intereses econÃ³micos que se quejan del exceso de regulaciÃ³n, tenemos derecho a sospechar que harÃ¡ lo mismo a la hora de degradar la Agenda Digital al servicio de las grandes corporaciones tecnolÃ³gicas, o el Pacto sobre MigraciÃ³n y Asilo para devolver a los Estados la competencia que hemos conseguido, por fin, que seaÂ de la UniÃ³n Europea. Y frente a eso decimos con toda claridad que encontrarÃ¡ un no rotundo en este Parlamento Europeo a cualquier retroceso.
Morgen stemmen we over de toekomst van het Europees Sociaal Fonds, dat sinds het Verdrag van Rome bestaat. Het is een van de oudste programma's van de Europese Unie en een fonds waar we trots op mogen zijn, omdat het juist opkomt voor de mensen in kwetsbare omstandigheden. Het is bedoeld voor iedereen in Europa: voor mensen met een basisbaan in Groningen, voor gevluchte OekraÃ¯ners in Polen, voor vrouwen die slachtoffer zijn van geweld en voor arbeidsmigranten die soms moeilijk meekomen in onze samenleving. Laten we ook niet vergeten dat sociaal beleid bijdraagt aan sociale samenhang en daarmee aan veiligheid. Dit is het moment om als Parlement onze prioriteiten duidelijk te maken. In een tijd waarin vooral gesproken wordt over hoe bedrijven nog concurrerender kunnen worden, zeggen wij: vergeet mensen in kwetsbare situaties niet. Daarom stellen we voor dat minstens 25Â % van het fonds naar sociale inclusie gaat, zodat iedereen kan meedoen in de samenleving. Het fonds moet een rol gaan spelen in het tegengaan van dakloosheid en jeugdwerkloosheid en er moet speciale aandacht uitgaan naar vluchtelingen, ongeacht hun status. Het fonds moet zich richten op de bestrijding van armoede bij kinderen. Nu de Commissie onder het mom van vereenvoudiging het mes zet in veel sociale en progressieve wetten, is het ook ontzettend belangrijk dat het Europees Sociaal Fonds een zelfstandig fonds blijft, dat niet wordt samengevoegd met andere fondsen die andere doelen nastreven. Zo niet, zullen de focus en de prioriteiten vervagen indien er een groot paraplufonds komt voor het volgende financiÃ«le kader. Onze boodschap is duidelijk: houd het Europees Sociaal Fonds buiten deze plannen en zorg ervoor dat het geld aan de juiste doelen wordt besteed. Dat is nu bij uitstek zorgen dat kinderen niet in armoede opgroeien. Daarom maken wij heel duidelijk dat er minstens 20Â miljard euro moet worden vrijgemaakt voor het tegengaan van kinderarmoede via de kindgarantie. De EVP-Fractie probeert dit nu via amendementen uit het verslag te verwijderen. Dit is onbegrÄ³pelÄ³k, vooral omdat zoveel kinderen in armoede opgroeien en armoede en ongelijkheid alleen maar toenemen. Dit is bovendien gevaarlijk. Veiligheid in Europa kunnen we alleen bereiken als we sociale inclusie bewerkstelligen en kinderen perspectief bieden. We zijn het aan de huidige en toekomstige kinderen verplicht om een bedrag te koppelen aan deze ambities. Niet alleen woorden, maar ook daden. Boter bij de vis, zodat we kunnen garanderen dat het geld hiervoor ook beschikbaar komt en om duidelijk te maken dat we onze prioriteiten op dit vlak serieus nemen. Morgen moeten we dus stemmen voor het ESF, inclusief de kindgarantie en de benodigde financiÃ«le middelen. Ik reken op de steun van iedereen.

A well-functioning business aviation industry helps attract investment to Europe, yet it was excluded from the Taxonomy Regulation. This omission is baffling. I urge the Commission to address this in the upcoming Omnibus initiatives. Regarding sustainable fuels â the so-called SAFs â we need a globally standardised definition. The Commission must push for this. SAFs should also be available in sufficient quantities at all European airports, big and small. Finally, I call on the Commission to actively support the development of electric vertical take-off and landing technology in Europe.
Let us be very clear: Ireland's neutrality and our long-standing commitment to UN peacekeeping missions has made the world safer. It is attacks on the UN and on neutrality that is making the world less safe. From our role in leading negotiations on the Treaty of the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons to being the only country to have an unbroken record of UN peacekeeping service since 1958, Ireland's neutrality has been a beacon in this world. The cynical moves to scrap the triple lock will move us away from the UN and threatens Ireland's neutrality. The most recent poll shows that 75Â % of Irish people support our continued neutrality. Yet the Irish Government seems determined to throw its lot in with the EU, to undermine our neutrality at every turn, while the EU is engaging in an arms race. It's time to save the triple lock.
W ubiegÅym tygodniu uczestniczyÅam w wydarzeniu z udziaÅem przedstawicieli polskiego przemysÅu kosmetycznego, ktÃ³rzy przedstawili nam âtsunami unijnych regulacjiâ, do ktÃ³rych muszÄ siÄ dostosowywaÄ. Istnieje ponad 300 szczegÃ³Åowych przepisÃ³w sektorowych dotyczÄ cych tylko kosmetykÃ³w. ZmieniajÄ siÄ tak czÄsto, Å¼e prowadzenie firmy staje siÄ nieprzewidywalne. Dlatego cieszÄ siÄ, widzÄ c pierwszÄ propozycjÄ Omnibusa, i doceniam zaangaÅ¼owanie przewodniczÄ cej von der Leyen w uÅatwianie Å¼ycia naszym przedsiÄbiorcom. Ale deregulacja musi byÄ czymÅ wiÄcej niÅ¼ zmianÄ przepisÃ³w na nowe czy odroczeniem ich stosowania. Regulacji musi byÄ po prostu radykalnie mniej. Zawalczmy o naszych przedsiÄbiorcÃ³w. To oni generujÄ bogactwo Unii Europejskiej. I obudÅºmy siÄ, Å¼eby nie byÅo za pÃ³Åºno.
La Commission propose un premier paquet Â«omnibusÂ», qui va permettre dâÃ©conomiser, nous dit-elle, 6Â milliards, soit au mieux 4Â % de ces 150Â milliards. Câest trÃ¨s, trÃ¨s, trÃ¨s loin dâÃªtre Ã la hauteur des enjeux. Câest bien de faire sortir 80Â % des entreprises europÃ©ennes de lâessentiel de ces rÃ¨gles, mais Ã quoi cela sert-il, vu que les 20Â % dâentreprises qui demeurent concernÃ©es reprÃ©sentent 80Â % de lâÃ©conomie europÃ©enne et que leur charge administrative se rÃ©percutera sur toutes les PME et entreprises intermÃ©diaires avec qui elles travaillent? OÃ¹ est la solution pour les Ã©conomies de nos pays? Il est trÃ¨s sympathique de ne vouloir asphyxier que les grands groupes Ã coups de formulaires, mais une telle dÃ©marche nâa aucun sens si elle revient Ã leur demander de diffuser ces contraintes Ã lâintÃ©gralitÃ© de leurs entreprises partenaires. Des ingÃ©nieurs dâune entreprise industrielle mâont racontÃ©, il y a quelques jours, que la rÃ©glementation europÃ©enne allait leur demander de contrÃ´ler que tous les produits quâils utilisent aient Ã©tÃ© fabriquÃ©s en respectant les meilleures exigences, fondÃ©es sur 1Â 200Â critÃ¨res. Une intention louable, certes, sauf que ces ingÃ©nieurs ont, en premiÃ¨re ligne, 6Â 000Â fournisseurs, qui ont eux-mÃªmes 1Â million de fournisseurs. Comment voulez-vous contrÃ´ler? Pour ces ingÃ©nieurs aujourdâhui, lâalternative est simple: arrÃªter de produire ou aller en prison. Maintenant, Ã§a suffit! Si nous voulons sortir de cette crise Ã©conomique majeure qui est en train de se dessiner, il ne faut pas simplement simplifier, il faut supprimer des rÃ¨gles. Partout dans nos pays, ceux qui font tourner notre Ã©conomie disent simplement: Â«Laissez-nous bosser! Laissez-nous faire, crÃ©er, dÃ©velopper, innover et inventer! Laissez-nous respirer! Laissez-nous vivre!Â» Pour cela, il ne suffira pas de dÃ©placer trois virgules; il va falloir renverser la table.
ChciaÅbym oÅwiadczyÄ pani Virkkunen i Komisji Europejskiej, Å¼e Polacy nie Å¼yczÄ sobie ingerencji w polskie wybory. Organizacja czegokolwiek ponad gÅowami PolakÃ³w w sprawie wyborÃ³w bÄdzie potraktowana jako atak na polskÄ demokracjÄ. Nie Å¼yczymy sobie ingerencji w nasze sprawy. Komisja Europejska powinna w myÅl traktatÃ³w trzymaÄ rÄce z dala od wyborÃ³w w Polsce.
European Social Fund Plus post-2027 (short presentation)
Eine Studie von RÃ¼stungslobbyisten aus Deutschland mit dem bezeichnenden NamenÂ Sparta gibt darÃ¼ber nun Auskunft. Es geht um die Schaffung einer âasymmetrischen Ãberlegenheitâ. Es geht um âdigitale FÃ¼hrungsÃ¼berlegenheit, AufklÃ¤rungsâ und WirkÃ¼berlegenheit, die sofort verfÃ¼gbar und kurzfristig einsetzbar sein sollenâ. Mit Landesverteidigung hat dies ganz offensichtlich nichts mehr zu tun. Auch nicht mit einem Gleichgewicht der militÃ¤rischen KrÃ¤fte und noch weniger mit der strukturellen NichtangriffsfÃ¤higkeit, wie sie die NATO frÃ¼her fÃ¼r sich postuliert hat. Hier soll der Krieg als Mittel der Politik wieder hoffÃ¤hig gemacht werden. DafÃ¼r hat die EuropÃ¤ische Union sicherlich nicht den Friedensnobelpreis erhalten.
Mientras tanto, en este Parlamento tenemos varios grupos parlamentarios que aplauden las medidas de Trump y algunos de ellos hasta se arrodillan ante sus intereses y luego se hacen llamar Â«PatriotasÂ». Â¿Patriotas de quÃ©? De la Ãºnica patria que entienden: la del dinero y la del poder. Por eso, yo animo al conjunto de los grupos parlamentarios democrÃ¡ticos a que protejamos Europa, a que protejamos a la mayorÃ­a trabajadora, a que protejamos nuestros puestos de trabajo; a que lo hagamos con mÃ¡s reindustrializaciÃ³n, con mÃ¡s polÃ­ticas de cohesiÃ³n, con mÃ¡s polÃ­ticas de integraciÃ³n; y a que lo hagamos para protegernos de las polÃ­ticas de Trump, pero tambiÃ©n de las polÃ­ticas de aquellos que desde aquÃ­ trabajan para los intereses de las grandes multinacionales.
The dates are available on the plenary webpage and the deadlines are as follows: amendments, today at 7Â p.m.; roll-call votes, Tuesday, 11Â March at 4Â p.m. The vote will then take place on Wednesday, 12Â March at noon. â I would like to inform the House that I have received multiple requests for points of order. I will go through them one by one. First, I give the floor to MsÂ Iratxe GarcÃ­a PÃ©rez.
(Parliament rejected the request) So the agenda remains unchanged. The final request is from the Greens/EFA Group. For Wednesday, it has requested that a Commission statement on 'Secessionist threats in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the recent escalation' be added as the last point in the afternoon. As a consequence, the sitting would be extended to 11 p.m. I give the floor to MsÂ Strick to move this request on behalf of the Green Group.

DerriÃ¨re ces financements se cache un vÃ©ritable rÃ©seau militant qui, avec lâargent des contribuables, encourage lâimmigration massive, bloque les expulsions et combat les Ãtats qui dÃ©fendent leur souverainetÃ©. Bruxelles finance ceux qui sabotent nos dÃ©mocraties, rÃ©pandent le poison wokiste ou imposent une Ã©cologie punitive aux EuropÃ©ens, pendant que nos industries sâeffondrent et que nos peuples sâappauvrissent. Il est temps de mettre fin Ã cette propagande financÃ©e par lâUnion europÃ©enne. Lâargent des EuropÃ©ens doit servir Ã lâintÃ©rÃªt des EuropÃ©ens, pas aux idÃ©ologies bruxelloises et Ã ses lobbys.
The first is on employment protection for the activities of police officers, military personnel, prison officers, and customs and border officials, classifying them as high-risk occupations in the EU. The proposal is referred to the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs. The second is on the need to extend the period for implementation of the Recovery and Resilience Facility. This proposal is referred to the Committee on Budgets and the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, as committees responsible, and to the Committee on Employment, the Committee on the Environment, the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy and the Committee on Transport and Tourism, for opinion.
