Over the last few days, nearly two million people have been exposed to flooding across Central and Eastern Europe, with three to four times the monthly average rainfall falling in just a few days, causing rivers like the Danube to rise to a level not seen for a century. Meanwhile, on the other side of Europe, thousands of hectares of forest are burning in Portugal. I want to express my deepest sympathy and my solidarity to the people affected by these terrible disasters, and to send my condolences to the grieving families of the victims of these tragedies. Like many of you, I am shocked by the dramatic images we have seen over the last few days of people being evacuated from the roofs of their homes, of families left with nothing but the clothes they are wearing, and of death and destruction happening right here on our home continent.</p> <p class="contents">At the start of the new Commission, we face a Europe that is simultaneously flooding and burning. These extreme weather events, which used to happen once in a lifetime, are now an almost annual occurrence. The global reality of the climate breakdown has moved into the everyday lives of Europeans. It is crucial that, together, we step up our disaster preparedness and response efforts on a national, as well as on the European level, to deal with emergencies just like the ones we are witnessing today. Make no mistake, this tragedy is not an anomaly. This is fast becoming the norm for our shared future.</p> <p class="contents">The European Union is rising to this challenge, developing our crisis preparedness and response capacities, through the EU Civil Protection Mechanism, to keep pace with the ever increasing rate of disasters. In Central and Eastern Europe, we have been monitoring the situation closely since 9 September, providing regular updates from the Emergency Response Coordination Centre – our 24/7 operational crisis hub in Brussels – while closely collaborating with the Joint Research Centre. We have been in contact around the clock with the emergency services of affected Member States. Thanks to the European Flood Awareness System of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service, we provided early warnings to areas in danger from 10 September onwards, liaising with national authorities to raise awareness of the situation and to offer help, and sending over 100 warnings to authorities across the region by 13 September. Also, upon request from five Member States, we have provided rapid mapping services for flood‑affected areas. From the outset, we have offered assistance and a swift response via the EU Civil Protection Mechanism, with personnel and equipment available for immediate response, if requested. So far, one country, Czechia, has requested support via the mechanism. This request came through yesterday afternoon, and the first offer of support from Slovenia via the mechanism was made immediately.</p> <p class="contents">At the same time, we continue to closely monitor the situation and prepare for the next developments. We expect exceptionally high water levels as lower parts of the Oder river in Poland peak tomorrow, along with lower parts of the Danube in Hungary at some point later today. Besides the immediate response and assistance, Member States can also consider later on requesting financial support from the EU Solidarity Fund, following damage assessment in line with the Solidarity Fund provisions.</p> <p class="contents">Honourable Members, today we mourn this tragedy, and we stand in solidarity with the victims. But we must also look to the future and make sure we are ready when the next disaster strikes, because we are already living in an age of crisis. Europe is the fastest warming continent globally and is particularly vulnerable to extreme weather events like the one we are discussing today. We cannot return to a safer past, we cannot afford a year off, and we cannot expect current levels of preparedness to protect European citizens from this new, higher level of threat. We must, therefore, strengthen Europe's disaster response capacity by strengthening the EU Civil Protection Mechanism, including by ensuring adequate funding. This increased disaster response capacity must be matched with increased preparedness, prevention and resilience efforts, because preparedness is an investment in our future. Every EUR 1 invested in prevention and preparedness typically returns between EUR 2 and 10 in avoided losses, response costs and other advantages. The average cost of disasters in the 1980s was EUR 8 billion per year. More recently, in 2021 and in 2022, the damages surpassed EUR 50 billion per year, meaning the cost of inaction is far greater than the cost of action.</p> <p class="contents">That is why we have embraced a common EU resilience agenda, establishing in February of last year the five EU disaster resilience goals to strengthen collective resilience across the European, national and local levels, and building our cooperation across the civil protection community and beyond to ensure we stand together against the growing threat of disaster. Concerning floods and other extreme weather events. It is important to mention that the Commission is working closely with Member States on implementing the Floods Directive and on a robust European water resilience strategy, acting together to build cross-border resilience. One of the key lessons we learned throughout this mandate is that such challenges cannot be tackled solely through the limited portfolio of civil protection. It requires an all hazard and all of society approach, with cross-sectoral cooperation in all areas on both policy coherence and funding.</p> <p class="contents">I therefore strongly welcome the President's recognition of the importance of preparedness in the portfolio of my successor. As the Commission President also announced in the political guidelines, the new Commission will work on a strategy that will be inspired by the report on civil and military preparedness presented by former Finnish President Sauli Niinistö later this year.</p> <p class="contents">Honourable Members, the challenge ahead is larger than ever, but I have faith that together we can build a more disaster-resilient, safer Europe.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001253087"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/124893.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-09:13:55&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-09:16:45" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Bogdan Andrzej Zdrojewski, </span></span> <span class="italic">w imieniu grupy PPE</span><span class="bold">.</span> – Pani Przewodnicząca! Powodzie, huragany, trzęsienia ziemi, pożary, a nawet erupcje wulkanów są rodzajami katastrof naturalnych, które dotykają państwa Unii Europejskiej. Wszystkie mają wspólny mianownik: niosą ze sobą ludzkie dramaty. Dziś mierzymy się z gigantyczną powodzią w środkowo–wschodniej Europie. To oznacza, skutkuje ogromną ilością ludzkiego cierpienia, także zwierząt, i oczywiście stratami materialnymi. Nie możemy wobec tych zdarzeń być obojętni, ani też reagować z opóźnieniem. Empatia, wrażliwość, dostrzeganie skali dramatu ma znaczenie. Także oczywiście adekwatna reakcja. Sporo już zrobiliśmy. Powstał europejski system satelitarny Obserwacji Ziemi Copernicus. Przeznaczono sporo środków Unii Europejskiej na infrastrukturę krytyczną, w tym np. Zbiornik Racibórz, który w tej chwili ma ogromne znaczenie dla ochrony stolicy Dolnego Śląska, Wrocławia.</p> <p class="contents">Poprawiono samą współpracę między państwami i służbami, ale jednak dziś ważniejsze jest, co dalej. Po pierwsze pilne uruchomienie unijnego mechanizmu ochrony ludności z pełnym budżetem, szybkimi płatnościami i dedykowanymi liniami finansowymi. Po drugie zmodyfikowanie, uelastycznienie i poszerzenie działania Funduszu Solidarności Unii Europejskiej. Po trzecie wzmocnienie finansowe i operacyjne narzędzi uzyskiwanych w wyniku działania systemów satelitarnych z większą i szybszą ich dostępnością. I po czwarte zaktualizowanie, unowocześnienie i wzmocnienie finansowe tych instrumentów, które mają służyć na rzecz odbudowy i odporności.</p> <p class="contents">Potrzebna jest przy tym szersza refleksja. Wiele zagrożeń powiększania skali skutków katastrof to także skutek działalności samego człowieka, bezsensownej nadmiernej wycinki lasów, ograniczania naturalnych polderów, betonozy w miastach, nonszalancji w sposobie traktowania natury. Chciałem na to także zwrócić uwagę. Czuje to też najmłodsze pokolenie. Z tego powodu ma własną misję – zmienić podejście do przyrody, rozwoju tego pokolenia starszego. Z moich doświadczeń ministerialnych i przede wszystkim prezydentury Wrocławia, miasta, które było dotknięte w 1997. podobną skalą katastrofy, chcę stwierdzić, że należy: po pierwsze docenić pracę urbanistów, szanować prawa obywateli, zabezpieczać infrastrukturę krytyczną. W imieniu grupy PPE, na koniec popieramy treść rezolucji i wyrażamy uznanie dla wszystkich zaangażowanych służb ratujących życie i dorobek materialny.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001253091"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/28298.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-09:16:50&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-09:20:19" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Iratxe García Pérez, </span></span> <span class="italic">en nombre del Grupo S&amp;D</span><span class="bold">.</span> – Señora presidenta, vidas truncadas, ríos desbordados, decenas de pueblos inundados y miles de personas evacuadas: la vida, el trabajo y los sueños de muchos ciudadanos de la Unión Europea se perdieron en solo media hora bajo el agua.

Pero mientras las familias europeas lloran la pérdida de sus seres queridos, mientras los agricultores ven sus tierras devastadas, y mientras los pueblos luchan por reconstruir lo poco que queda en pie, la extrema derecha sigue negando la realidad del cambio climático. Donde gobiernan, difunden bulos medioambientales, retrasan la implantación de las zonas de bajas emisiones y rechazan las políticas de la Unión Europea, ignorando que el coste de no actuar para frenar el calentamiento global ya es superior al coste de combatirlo.</p> <p class="contents">El señor comisario nos ha dado unas cifras que creo que son interesantes y yo voy a añadir otras. Un coste que la Agencia Europea de Medio Ambiente estima en 650 000 millones desde 1980 y que impacta en sectores determinantes para nuestra economía, como el turismo, la agricultura, las infraestructuras... Pero aún es más doloroso el coste en vidas: en 2023, más de 47 000 personas murieron en Europa por el calor extremo y, cada año, más de 300 000 europeos pierden la vida de forma prematura por la contaminación del aire.</p> <p class="contents">Ante este drama, tenemos la obligación de combatir el negacionismo climático. Hoy contamos con un Pacto Verde que representa una de las respuestas más ambiciosas que nuestra generación puede ofrecer, un marco normativo único para alcanzar la neutralidad climática en 2050. Y cuanto más rápido avancemos con las energías renovables, el autoconsumo, la electrificación del transporte y la rehabilitación y la eficiencia energética de nuestras viviendas, más vidas salvaremos. Nuestro próximo paso será la adopción de una ley de adaptación al cambio climático, una ley que nos permitirá estar preparados para proteger a las personas más vulnerables.</p> <p class="contents">Señorías, Europa ha sido históricamente una tierra de ideas y de progreso. Hoy, quizá cobren más sentido que nunca las palabras de Victor Hugo: «No hay nada más poderoso que una idea a la que le ha llegado su tiempo».

Az EP állásfoglalása is erre kellene most koncentráljon. Nem közép- és hosszú távú, nehezen kivitelezhető klímajavaslatokra van most éppen szükség, hanem konkrét, gyors és hatékony segítségre.

Jest to przykład prawdziwej solidarności i współpracy. Powrót do normalnego życia będzie trwał miesiącami, a być może latami. Oprócz zalanych i zburzonych domów ustępująca woda odsłania również zerwane mosty i drogi, a wśród zniszczonych miejsc są także bezcenne zabytki, świadectwa naszej kultury, religii i historii.</p> <p class="contents">Pomoc długofalowa, analizy, budowa wspólnych instytucji jest ważna, ale pomoc jest pilnie potrzebna już dzisiaj. Dlatego przedstawiam dwa bardzo konkretne postulaty. Po pierwsze natychmiastowe uruchomienie środków z Funduszu Solidarności Unii Europejskiej. Po drugie zawieszenie na okres roku sesji plenarnych Parlamentu Europejskiego w Strasburgu i organizowanie ich wyłącznie w Brukseli oraz przekazanie zaoszczędzonych w ten sposób setek milionów euro na pomoc powodzianom. Środki z funduszu mogą być wykorzystane na naprawę tego, co uległo zniszczeniu, jak i zapobieganie podobnym zjawiskom w przyszłości.</p> <p class="contents">To niezwykle ważne, aby poza pomocą poszkodowanym jak najszybciej zainwestować w nową infrastrukturę. Decyzję o ograniczeniu na okres roku sesji plenarnej do Brukseli pozwoliłoby zaoszczędzić setki milionów euro, przede wszystkim na transporcie, które są obecnie pilnie potrzebne na usuwanie tragicznych skutków tej katastrofy.</p> <p class="contents">Popierając jako ECR treść rezolucji i zapowiadając wprowadzenie poprawek naszych, jeszcze raz stanowczo apelujemy o pomoc, nie tylko w gestach i słowach Solidarności, ale poprzez natychmiastowe przekazanie środków dla poszkodowanych przez kataklizm.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001253097"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/135511.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-09:25:17&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-09:28:03" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Valérie Hayer, </span></span> <span class="italic">au nom du groupe Renew</span><span class="bold">.</span> – Madame la Présidente, Monsieur le Commissaire, chers collègues, Pologne, Roumanie, République tchèque, Autriche, Slovaquie, Hongrie. Des foyers privés d'électricité, des autoroutes coupées, des barrages qui cèdent, des Européens touchés par centaines de milliers par la tempête Boris. Avant toute chose, je veux avoir une pensée pour toutes les victimes et tous les sinistrés.</p> <p class="contents">Mes chers collègues, la tempête Boris n'est pas due au hasard, mais bien au dérèglement climatique. Ses conséquences désastreuses sont le miroir grossissant de notre impréparation à ces phénomènes. C'est pourquoi je vais être très claire: la lutte contre le dérèglement climatique est à ce jour le défi prioritaire que nous avons à affronter. Ces intempéries confirment une chose: aucun recul n'est permis sur notre ambition climatique. Parce que le climat n'a pas d'agenda caché et parce que la solution, chers collègues, passe aussi par l'ambition européenne. Plus l'Europe coopère, plus la réponse aux crises est efficace.</p> <p class="contents">Alors, nous devons mettre en œuvre tous les moyens disponibles pour venir en aide aux populations touchées. Nous disposons déjà d'instruments décisifs pour le faire, Monsieur le Commissaire. Je pense au mécanisme européen de protection civile, pour renforcer la coopération entre pays face aux catastrophes sans frontières; c'est ce mécanisme qui vient d'être activé au Portugal pour faire face aux incendies de forêt et qui a permis au pays de recevoir l'aide d'avions espagnols, italiens, grecs, français. Je pense aussi aux satellites Copernicus, pour faciliter les actions de terrain. Tous ces mécanismes, nous devons les renforcer.</p> <p class="contents">Alors oui, venons en aide, oui, reconstruisons. Mais alors que l'Europe doit engager un choc d'investissement sans précédent, nous devons aussi lancer un grand plan d'adaptabilité pour le climat. Ce plan, Monsieur le Commissaire, vous l'avez rappelé, Ursula von der Leyen l'avait promis avant l'été. Or, nous avons bien lu les lettres de mission des futurs commissaires qui ont été présentées hier et clairement, en l'état, le compte n'y est pas. Avec mon groupe, nous exigeons que ce plan d'adaptation climatique ne soit pas une coquille vide ni une simple coordination des plans nationaux.</p> <p class="contents">Il faut identifier les infrastructures à risques, les territoires à risque pour savoir où investir en priorité. Ensuite, investir dans la solidité de nos ports, de nos barrages, de nos centrales pour éviter les catastrophes comme celle du barrage polonais de Paczków. C'est aussi le système financier européen qui doit être adapté et les tests de résistance climatique généralisés. C'est toute la résilience climatique de nos infrastructures qui est ici en jeu, rien de moins. Alors assurons-nous que l'Europe tienne le choc. Assurons-nous que l'Europe soit prête.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001253099"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/103381.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-09:28:10&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-09:31:41" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Terry Reintke, </span></span> <span class="italic">on behalf of the Verts/ALE Group</span><span class="bold">.</span> – Madam President, dear colleagues, sometimes it sounds like a phrase, but when I say this, I really mean it. Full solidarity to all the people who are currently affected by the flooding in central and eastern Europe, and, of course, also by the horrible forest fires in the south of Europe.</p> <p class="contents">People in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Austria are suffering from devastating floods. Enormous water masses are threatening their lives, destroying their homes and damaging infrastructure and nature in these countries. We as Europeans stand by your side. This is a European challenge that we are facing together. European solidarity in moments like these matters even more, because no single Member State can tackle this crisis alone. We have to work together. The European Union must and will do everything in its power to help. We must deliver emergency support and we have to do it fast. We also owe this to the first responders on the ground, who are still risking their own lives in order to help those who are most in need right now.</p> <p class="contents">Dear colleagues, this is also yet another wake‑up call to ourselves. Climate change affects us all, and it affects us not in some kind of distant future, but it affects us now. Floods and droughts are becoming more and more frequent also in the European Union. Our response must be bold and swift.</p> <p class="contents">First of all, our success will depend on how determined we are to combat climate change together in order to reduce emissions. For that, we all know that we need to stay ambitious when it comes to the Green Deal. We cannot give up half way – we need to continue the battle to fight against climate change together. Second, we have to invest in nature restoration projects to mitigate the effects of climate change, to ensure that soils can absorb water again, to create flood plains instead of straight rivers, to plant trees to restore forests. Third, we need an ambitious climate adaptation law with a special focus on the protection of critical water supplies. Fourth, we can further build on the solidarity between Member States through better early warning systems and crisis management and the pooling of capacities to support each other. And fifth, last but not least, we need adequate funding for disaster prevention and response.</p> <p class="contents">We need to do this and we need to do this now. This is not about party politics. The necessity can be evidenced by bare figures. Between 1980 and 2022, extreme weather and climate events caused economic losses of assets estimated to EUR 650 billion in EU Member States. EUR 650 billion is huge economic damage, not to speak of the many human tragedies that are linked to this figure. Let's work together to combat climate change and its devastating effects, colleagues, because one thing is clear: the fight against climate change will be key for European cohesion, for our shared prosperity and for our common future on this planet.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001253101"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/30482.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-09:31:46&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-09:34:54" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Younous Omarjee, </span></span> <span class="italic">au nom du groupe The Left</span><span class="bold">.</span> – Madame la Présidente, mes chers collègues, d'abord et avant tout je veux exprimer notre solidarité totale avec l'ensemble des pays frappés, les autorités locales, les autorités régionales qui sont sur le pont en ce moment pour porter secours, et puis nos condoléances aux familles éprouvées.</p> <p class="contents">Je me souviens qu'en 2021, j'étais à cette tribune, après les inondations en Allemagne, aux Pays-Bas, en Belgique qui avaient fait 300 morts.

Il n'est pas supportable pour les populations de l'Union européenne victimes de ces inondations que l'intervention de l'Union arrive parfois une année après, et que les territoires locaux et régionaux soient démunis. Nous devons donc sans tarder faire cette réforme du Fonds de solidarité de l'Union européenne, et nous devons aussi engager de véritables stratégies régionales d'adaptation au climat.</p> <p class="contents">Je veux vous dire que c'est une nouvelle donne permanente qui est devant nous. Année après année, des inondations, des cyclones, des incendies, et ce sont tous les secteurs du développement régional qui sont affectés par ces catastrophes. Tous les efforts que nous faisons pour construire, notamment, des infrastructures avec le FEDER se retrouvent mis à terre car ces infrastructures ne sont pas résilientes, et nous les reconstruisons ensuite avec le FEDER.

Keby nevymýšľala nezmysly, ako napríklad povinné elektromobily! Pretože chcel by som vidieť tie vaše autá na baterky, tie bagre a traktory, ako by pomáhali pri týchto súčasných povodniach! Lebo áno, boli tu pred rokom aj také návrhy, že v rámci zavádzania Green Dealu ste chceli povinne presadiť aj elektrifikáciu tzv. <span class="italic">heavy duty</span> vozidiel. To znamená vozidiel určených do ťažkých podmienok, ako sú traktory, bagre, nákladiaky, kamióny. Proste nezmysel, nezmysel.</p> <p class="contents">Čo sa však týka týchto povodní, tak nepostrehol som od Európskej únie zatiaľ žiadnu konkrétnu pomoc. Pritom presne toto je tá oblasť, kde by sa mohla prejaviť spoločná európska solidarita, spoločná európska súdržnosť. Nie tam donekonečna pomáhať len imigrantom utekajúcim z Afriky. Platiť im dopravu, platiť im ubytovanie, zdravotnú starostlivosť, následne nejaké sociálne benefity či dokonca vreckové. Ale teraz občanom Európskej únie, národom Európskej únie, konkrétnymi opatreniami pomôcť prekonať škody prispením na náradie alebo na obnovu poškodených príbytkov. Ale to by muselo byť vedenie Európskej únie trošku iné a muselo by sa zaujímať o problémy bežných ľudí, bežných Európanov. Žiaľ, v tejto súčasnej kríze zatiaľ nie je za čo Európskej únii veľmi ďakovať.</p> <p class="contents">Ale chcem sa z tohto miesta aj ja poďakovať záchranným zložkám, ktoré aktívne pomáhajú. Poďakovať sa všetkým hasičom, všetkým záchranárom, policajtom, dobrovoľníkom, vodohospodárom, všetkým občanom, ktorí aktívne pomáhajú ľuďom zasiahnutým povodňami. Pretože to sú skutoční hrdinovia dnešných dní a im patrí naša vďaka.</p> <p class="contents">A na záver mi dovoľte ešte také krátke zamyslenie. Dnes tu diskutujeme o bode s názvom Ničivé záplavy v strednej a východnej Európe, straty na životoch. Zajtra tu má byť v pléne diskusia Suchá ako hrozba pre miestne komunity a poľnohospodárstvo v Európskej únii. Prepáčte, ale mne to niekedy pripadá ako v nejakom televíznom programe. Proste vyberte si svoju krízu. Raz je to Covid, raz je to vojna na Ukrajine, potom je to sucho, potom sú tu záplavy. Podstatné je, aby sa ľudia stále báli, aby tu bol nejaký alarmizmus. Dokonca ešte aj túto debatu. Mnohí z vás zneužívate na presadzovanie Green Dealu, ktorý v skutočnosti viac problémov spôsobuje ako rieši.

Uniunea Europeană va ajuta oamenii afectați de inundații, va ajuta întreprinderile, va ajuta autoritățile locale. Vedem situația din România, Ungaria, Slovacia, Republica Cehă, Austria, Polonia și mesajul este următorul: rugăm autoritățile locale să intervină cât mai repede, să ajute cât mai mulți oameni, fiindcă tot sprijinul pe care îl vor oferi va fi decontat în parte de Uniunea Europeană, din Fondul de Solidaritate al Uniunii Europene.</p> <p class="contents">Iar oamenilor le spunem foarte clar, hrana care vine, adăposturile, cheltuielile cu adăposturile, repunerea în funcțiune a infrastructurii, electricitate, telecomunicații, drumuri, toate acestea vor fi susținute de Uniunea Europeană din Fondul de Solidaritate, iar noi, Parlamentul European, ne vom asigura că acești bani vor veni, vor fi decontați cât mai repede. Unu la mână.</p> <p class="contents">Doi la mână, bugetul Uniunii Europene este adoptat mereu pentru o perioadă de șapte ani. Pentru perioada actuală de șapte ani avem 7 miliarde de euro pentru situații neprevăzute, la dispoziție. Sună mult, dar în realitate este insuficient. Șapte ani e o perioadă lungă de timp, apar mereu situații neprevăzute, de aceea, spun următorul lucru: ca negociator al Parlamentului European pentru bugetul multianual, în viitor avem nevoie de un buget cu mai multă flexibilitate, cu mai multe rezerve, dacă apar situații neprevăzute, să putem mobiliza mai mult și mai repede sprijin pentru oameni.</p> <p class="contents">Trei la mână: prevenția. Au spus-o deja unii colegi, acolo unde autoritățile locale, centrale sau din fonduri europene au făcut lucrări de îndiguire, de exemplu, oamenii sunt mai bine protejați. Ce vreau să spun este următorul lucru: trebuie să ascultăm vocea autorităților locale și regionale care cunosc care e nevoia în teritoriu, unde e nevoie de fonduri, pentru a întări infrastructura, pentru a proteja populația. Trebuie să investim mai mult în prevenție, mai mult în reziliență.</p> <p class="contents">Patru la mână, un lucru foarte important, în aceste zile vedem – eu o văd la fața locului în România, este la fel și în celelalte state: mii de pompieri voluntari, forțe de intervenție în fiecare stat, zeci de mii în total în Europa, oameni care își riscă viața, intră în situații dificile și au salvat deja mii de vieți, oameni, din situații critice. Acestora le spunem „Mulțumim mult pentru toată munca, pentru tot efortul lor!”</p> <p class="contents">În final, împreună vom ajuta, vom reconstrui și vom face Europa mai rezilientă pentru a ne asigura că în situații similare, în viitor, oamenii vor fi mai bine protejați și nu vor fi afectați ca acum.

We have to look at infrastructure, at buildings and at the financial means to compensate. We cannot leave these people behind. We cannot leave these farmers behind. We cannot afford to have these debates annually in response to disasters. It's time to take decisive action. We must prevent such strategies and take our preparedness seriously.

Česká republika se v těchto dnech potýká s ničivými povodněmi, které ničí naše domovy a infrastrukturu.</p> <p class="contents">Tato přírodní katastrofa ukazuje, že potřebujeme nejen okamžitou pomoc, ale i dlouhodobá řešení. Apeluji na Evropskou komisi, aby se zaměřila na konkrétní kroky, které naši zemi i další státy ochrání v budoucnu. Bohužel jen v České republice máme tři oběti a je sedm pohřešovaných lidí. Voda nyní v některých částech České republiky začíná opadat a pomalu odhaluje rozsah škod, které napáchala. Například primátor Opavy, českého statutárního města, odhaduje škody na více než dvě miliardy korun. Obce i podnikatelé v souhrnu pak odhadují škody na zhruba 20 miliard korun, což je zhruba 817 milionů EUR, což je 0,3 % HDP České republiky. A to už je významný zásah do české ekonomiky. Tento rozsah zkázy však nepřináší pouze materiální škody, ale také nové hrozby, například šíření nemocí.</p> <p class="contents">Navrhuji zahájit program na budování protipovodňových opatření napříč Evropskou unií, protože voda nezná hranice. Potřebujeme sdílet nejlepší technologie a know-how, abychom ochránili naše komunity. Společně můžeme posílit hráze, vytvořit retenční nádrže, modernizovat odvodňovací systémy. Investice do těchto opatření není výdaj, ale příležitost zajistit bezpečnější budoucnost. Byrokratická paralýza stojí například za projektem přehrady v Nových Heřminovech, která mohla zabránit miliardovým škodám. Dále je nezbytné posílit výzkum a vývoj v oblasti klimatických změn a prevence katastrof, modernizovat monitorovací systémy a lepší správu povodí. Mohou zachránit tisíce životů.</p> <p class="contents">Já bych z tohoto místa chtěla hlavně poděkovat složkám integrovaného záchranného systému a požádat nás všechny, abychom jim společně zatleskali. <span class="italic"></span></p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001253111"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/197537.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-09:44:51&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-09:46:48" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Alexandr Vondra (ECR).</span></span> – Paní předsedající, dámy a pánové, množství srážek, které spadlo ve střední Evropě v těch posledních několika dnech, bylo skutečně extrémní.

Klíčové slovo je adaptace a tady já souhlasím. Místo toho utrácet zběsile peníze za zběsilou mitigaci, která nepřináší žádné okamžité výsledky, tak ta adaptace je důležitá. Udělali jsme velký posun vpřed. Předpovědi meteorologů, krizový management a všechno ostatní. Vlastně tři oběti zatím, proti asi padesáti nebo šedesáti při těch dvou minulých povodních. Čili ano, adaptace.</p> <p class="contents">A za třetí, tady už to bylo řečeno. Největší škody byly v Opavě a v Krnově a hydrologové jasně dokázali, že kdyby stála přehrada, tak tato města ochránila. Ta přehrada nestojí, protože zelené skupiny jako Hnutí DUHA tomu léta bránily. A my je tady podporujeme penězi. Tak bychom také měli zavést princip, že když oni něčemu zabrání a pak to má miliardové škody, tak za to ponesou následky, protože každá politika má své následky.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001253113"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/197769.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-09:46:50&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-09:48:31" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Michal Wiezik (Renew).</span></span> – Vážená pani predsedníčka, táto katastrofa, ktorá sa prehnala viacerými európskymi krajinami, spôsobila obrovské škody.

Magyarországon az árvíz és az elsivatagosodás jelensége kéz a kézben járó problémák. A 19. századi folyószabályozás tönkretette a térség természetes vízháztartását. A Kárpát-medence mint földrajzi egység vízgazdálkodását nehezíti az is, hogy az első világháborút követően szétszabdalták a területet.

Ma a magyar elnökségről szóló elmaradt vita helyett beszélünk a klímaváltozás okozta extrém időjárási eseményekről. A közös felelősségérzet ritka szép megnyilvánulásaként Magyarország miniszterelnöke és az ellenzék vezetője, aki egyben képviselőtársunk, a Tisza Párt elnöke, Magyar Péter az árvízi védekezést irányítják. Magyar Péter ezen felül több ezer önkéntesünkkel együtt a gátakon is dolgozik. Külön szeretném megköszönni az ő munkájukat. Nagyon nagy szükség van rájuk, hiszen Magyarország területének 33%-a veszélyeztetett, rajta közel kétmillió emberrel.</p> <p class="contents">Itt, Strasbourgban a mi feladatunk, hogy dolgozzunk az európai összefogáson a helyreállítás és a védekezés érdekében. Szeretném megköszönni képviselőtársaim nyitottságát és elkötelezettségét, hogy a témát napirendre vegyük, és szolidaritást mutassunk a közép-európai áradástól sújtott lakossággal, köztük a magyarokkal is. Köszönjük a Bizottság gyors reakcióját! A Tisza Párt EP-képviselői szorosan együtt fognak működni a Bizottsággal, hogy a magyar polgárok is mihamarabb részesüljenek a kárelhárításra és a védekezésre szánt támogatásokból.</p> <p class="contents">Ugyanakkor nem mehetünk el szó nélkül amellett, hogy rendszerszintű, hosszú távú megoldásokra van szükség. Pártunk, a Tisza Párt, amelynek neve Magyarország második legnagyobb folyójának a neve is, elkötelezett Európa vízbiztonságának megerősítése és az európai vízügyi ellenállóképességre vonatkozó új stratégia elfogadása mellett. Azt is fontos elérni, hogy a kohéziós és a helyreállítási források jól hasznosuljanak a klímaváltozás hatásaihoz való alkalmazkodás és a hatások mérséklése céljából. Bizottságot szeretném felkérni, hogy tekintse át az elmúlt 14 évben biztosított támogatások hasznosulását annak fényében, hogy hogyan vizsgázott az infrastruktúra a jelen veszélyhelyzetben.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001253135"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/245018.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-10:02:25&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-10:04:17" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Christophe Clergeau (S&amp;D).</span></span> – Madame la Présidente, Monsieur le Commissaire, je voudrais à mon tour apporter mon témoignage de solidarité aux victimes et à toutes les structures locales, les collectivités et les bénévoles qui sont à leurs côtés, apporter aussi mon salut aux agents du mécanisme européen de protection civile qui organisent la solidarité européenne face à ces crises, et dire à la suite de Younous Omarjee, que oui, nous avons besoin d'un fonds de solidarité suffisant, mais aussi d'un fonds de réparation et de reconstruction qui ne vide pas les caisses de la politique de cohésion.</p> <p class="contents">Là encore, je voudrais saluer l'action du commissaire Lenarčič parce qu'il a mis en œuvre les objectifs de l’Union en matière de résilience face aux catastrophes.

Je to obrovská ztráta, kterou bude velice těžké překonat. Některé regiony v České republice byly hluboce zasaženy. Musíme zde ocenit všechny, kdo v České republice zasahovali, celý integrovaný záchranný systém včetně dobrovolných hasičů, kteří odvedli skvělou práci. Děkujeme! Nutno podotknout, že jen několik dní před těmito povodněmi se v České republice odehrála nedůstojná debata právě o platech bezpečnostních sborů. Znovu se ukazuje význam dobrovolných hasičů, kteří nejsou za svou práci bohužel finančně odměňováni. Robert Šlachta, stínový ministr vnitra za hnutí Přísaha, na tento problém dlouhodobě upozorňuje. Kritizuje vládu za to, že odmítá adekvátně finančně zajistit naše bezpečnostní sbory, čímž ohrožuje jejich schopnost účinně fungovat a ochránit občany. Deště pominou, ale devastující následky zůstanou. Čeká nás obrovský úklid po povodních, opravy silnic, mostů a budov. Škody bohužel dosahují v České republice do výše miliard korun, a to je pro Českou republiku obrovský zásah do ekonomiky. Prosím, aby Evropská unie rychle uvolnila finanční prostředky z Fondu solidarity a pomohla tam, kde je zrovna momentálně potřeba. Evropská unie se musí poučit z krizí z minulosti a začít rychle a flexibilně jednat v době krizí.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001253142"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/257114.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-10:06:14&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-10:07:38" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Claudiu-Richard Târziu (ECR).</span></span> – Doamna președintă, stimați colegi, inundațiile din acest an din România nu sunt o premieră și nici un accident.

Mein Mitgefühl gilt allen Opfern. Wir sollten jedoch nicht von Jahrhunderthochwassern sprechen, sondern vom Jahrhundert der Hochwasser. Diesen sehr treffenden Satz habe ich vor einigen Tagen im Internet gelesen. Und dann hört man hier am Montag bei der Aussprache zum strategischen Dialog und heute auch wieder, dass die allermeisten Abgeordneten ausschließlich Verbesserungen im Zivil‑ und Katastrophenschutz fordern, um so furchtbaren Hochwasserereignissen und anderen Klimakatastrophen entgegenzutreten – höhere Dämme, dickere Mauern und vor allem höhere Entschädigungen.</p> <p class="contents">Können wir vielleicht auch einfach mal an den Ursachen des Klimawandels arbeiten, anstatt ständig nur an den Folgen herumzudoktern? Auch wenn einige hier im Saal – gerade die rechte Seite – die Verbindung sehr gerne verdrängen möchten: Schnitzel und Steak, SUVs, Kreuzfahrten – all das hat Einfluss auf den Klimawandel. Unser Konsum und die Art, wie wir leben, beeinflusst den Klimawandel massiv und auch daraus resultierende Katastrophen und den Verlust von Menschenleben.</p> <p class="contents">Ein weiterer Punkt, der gerne außen vor gelassen wird, ist die Flächenversiegelung. So verschwinden immer mehr Grünflächen, aber auch landwirtschaftliche Flächen werden zugunsten von Siedlungs‑ und Verkehrsflächen vernichtet. Auf der anderen Seite wachsen Siedlungs‑ und Verkehrsflächen täglich.</p> <p class="contents">Lasst uns stattdessen gemeinsam Menschen‑ und Tierleben retten und die historische Verantwortung annehmen und etwas gegen den Klimawandel machen! Gerne möchte ich mit den Worten des brasilianischen Schriftstellers Paulo Coelho enden: „Die Welt verändert sich durch dein Vorbild und nicht durch deine Meinung“.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001324250"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/257069.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-10:12:48&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-10:14:41" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Ewa Zajączkowska-Hernik (ESN).</span></span> – Pani Przewodnicząca! Szanowni Państwo! Jestem pełna podziwu i szacunku dla wszystkich, którzy walczą ze skutkami straszliwej powodzi na terenie Polski oraz innych państw Europy. Serce rośnie, gdy przy tak straszliwej tragedii, dotykającej wiele tysięcy ludzi, są tacy, którzy niosą prawdziwą, bezcenną pomoc poszkodowanym. Dziękuję wszystkim służbom, strażakom, policjantom, wojskowym, organizacjom charytatywnym, harcerzom i każdemu człowiekowi dobrej woli. To jest niesamowite, jak dużo jest w nas solidarności i bezinteresowności w tak trudnych momentach.</p> <p class="contents">Jednak nie wolno nam zignorować przyczyn tak strasznych wydarzeń. Nie możemy przejść obojętnie wobec szkodliwej agendy, którą forsują politycy i aktywiści pseudoekologicznych organizacji. Wiceminister klimatu i środowiska w polskim rządzie, pani Urszula Zielińska, powiedziała: „W dobie zmiany klimatu i postępującego problemu suszy inwestowanie w zbiorniki zaporowe, niszczące przyrodę, jest w naszej ocenie najgorszym możliwym rozwiązaniem”.</p> <p class="contents">Ta kobieta współrządzi Ministerstwem Środowiska w Polsce, a u jej boku stali ekoterroryści, którzy przez lata torpedowali prace nad zbiornikami retencyjnymi, promując naturalne rozlewiska. I efekty tego właśnie obserwujemy na południu mojej ojczyzny.</p> <p class="contents">Nie pozwólmy, by pseudoklimatyczna polityka ekoterrorystycznych organizacji była ważniejsza od zdrowia i życia ludzi. Nie dajmy się ogłupić zielonej propagandzie. Ci, którzy forsowali szkodliwe pomysły, narażające bezpieczeństwo ludzi, powinni stanąć przed sądem. Dość partaczy u władzy.

Zemřeli lidé a země utrpěla rozsáhlé škody na infrastruktuře v řádu desítek miliard. Budeme potřebovat veškerou možnou pomoc a jedním z mála společných instrumentů, které mají v Evropě smysl, je právě Fond solidarity. Evropská unie má poslední možnost ukázat občanům v Čechách i jinde, že tu není od toho, aby financovala nesmyslné války, nákupy zbraní a podporovala neziskové organizace, které situaci dále zhoršují, ale že je tu proto, aby především pomohla v těžkých chvílích, které dnes občané v daných státech zažívají. Kolegové a pane komisaři, při hlasování o výplatě pomoci prosím zvažte, že kdo rychle platí, dvakrát platí. Miliardy na papíře, které se nedostanou přímo a rychle lidem, jim zničené domovy neobnoví. A na závěr mi dovolte poděkovat všem záchranným složkám České republiky. Odvedli neskutečnou práci a bez nich by těch mrtvých i té zničené infrastruktury bylo daleko víc.

Zehntausende Menschen sind in diesen Tagen von den anhaltenden schweren Überschwemmungen vor allem in Mittel‑ und Osteuropa – wenn ich an Tschechien, Polen, Ungarn, Rumänien denke – massiv betroffen. Noch niemals hat es auch bei uns in Österreich in so kurzer Zeit solche Niederschlagsmengen gegeben. Ja, wir haben eine Naturkatastrophe, und da gilt es zuerst natürlich an die betroffenen Menschen zu denken, den Einsatzorganisationen für ihren unermüdlichen Einsatz zu danken, aber gleichzeitig sind natürlich auch wir in der Politik massiv gefordert.

Meines Erachtens spielt hier der EU‑Katastrophenschutzfonds und das Verfahren eine zentrale Rolle, weil Europa hier gerade diese Solidarität zeigen kann und auch zeigt. Die Europäische Kommission ist ja maßgeblich an der Koordinierung bei Katastrophenschutzhilfsmaßnahmen beteiligt und leistet hier, auch wenn es um Transport‑ und Betriebskosten geht, einen wesentlichen Anteil. Dieser EU‑Solidaritätsfonds ist auch Österreich schon mehrfach zu Hilfe gekommen, und wir erwarten uns auch jetzt für die stark betroffenen Bundesländer, wenn ich an Oberösterreich, Niederösterreich, an mein Heimatbundesland Steiermark, aber auch ans Burgenland denke, wieder diese europäische Solidarität.</p> <p class="contents">Daneben halte ich es für wichtig, dass das geplante Überprüfungsverfahren, was das Katastrophenschutzverfahren betrifft, auch von der Kommission hier rasch abgeschlossen wird, denn wir werden auch in Zukunft Naturkatastrophen haben; der Klimawandel zeigt sich hier.

Die jüngste Unwetterkatastrophe hat nicht nur Österreich, sondern auch viele unserer Nachbarländer in Mitteleuropa schwer getroffen. Die Bilder der Verwüstung und die Berichte über die betroffenen Gemeinden sind erschütternd. Diese Ereignisse erinnern uns daran, wie verletzlich unsere Gesellschaften gegenüber den Kräften der Natur sind und wie wichtig es ist, auf solche Krisen vorbereitet zu sein.</p> <p class="contents">Obwohl die Europäische Union erste Hilfe über ihr Erdbeobachtungsprogramm Copernicus geleistet hat, bleibt die Reaktion unzureichend. Bis zum Nachmittag des 16. September war der EU‑Zivilschutzmechanismus noch nicht offiziell aktiviert worden. Dies zeigt deutlich, dass es an konkreten Maßnahmen fehlt, die den Menschen vor Ort in diesen Zeiten der Krise helfen. Die Verzögerung bei der Aktivierung solcher Mechanismen kann den Unterschied zwischen Leben und Tod bedeuten und ist inakzeptabel.</p> <p class="contents">Es ist dringend erforderlich, dass die EU ihre Mechanismen zur Krisenbewältigung verbessert und schneller handelt. Wir müssen aus diesen Ereignissen lernen und sicherstellen, dass wir besser vorbereitet sind. Dazu gehört auch eine stärkere Zusammenarbeit zwischen den Mitgliedstaaten und eine effektivere Nutzung der vorhandenen Mittel.</p> <p class="contents">Es ist meine erste Rede hier in diesem Hohen Haus, und inmitten dieser Herausforderungen möchte ich den unermüdlichen Einsatz der freiwilligen Helfer hervorheben. Ihr Engagement und ihre Solidarität sind ein leuchtendes Beispiel für Menschlichkeit in Zeiten der Not. Diese Helfer arbeiten oft unter extrem schwierigen Bedingungen und riskieren ihr eigenes Leben, um anderen zu helfen.

L'intensité et la fréquence des précipitations ne cessent d'augmenter, mettant à mal des systèmes de gestion des eaux souvent insuffisants.

Outre les dégâts matériels et humains, ces perturbations météorologiques ont notamment en outre-mer des conséquences majeures sur la qualité de l'eau, privant ainsi nos compatriotes d'eau potable pendant plusieurs jours, voire plusieurs semaines.</p> <p class="contents">Bien que l'Union européenne ait mis en place des mécanismes d'aide pour soutenir les pays touchés, il est souvent nécessaire de franchir un véritable parcours du combattant pour obtenir cette assistance.

Zunächst, selbstverständlich, unser aller Mitgefühl ist bei den Opfern der Fluten in Mitteleuropa, in Osteuropa, aber natürlich auch bei den Opfern des Feuers in Portugal. Die EU ist eine Gemeinschaft der Solidarität, deswegen wird jetzt zusammengehalten. Ich hoffe, dass die Hilfe schnell funktioniert. Aber ich muss Ihnen auch sagen, die Hilfe untereinander, die Hilfe der Menschen hat auch funktioniert. Vielen Dank an all die Angebote an Österreich aus Bayern, aus anderen Ländern, die uns gesagt haben, dass sie mithelfen wollen, den Flutopfern helfen wollen. Sogar aus der Ukraine sind Angebote gekommen.</p> <p class="contents">Weil hier auch wieder gegen Ausländer gehetzt wurde, möchte ich auch einiges sagen: Wir haben eine Menge von Asylwerbern – syrischen Asylwerbern – in Österreich, die jetzt genauso mitgeholfen haben, die gesehen haben, was Solidarität bedeutet, und auch uns ihre Solidarität gezeigt haben.</p> <p class="contents">Ein Wort zu den Freiwilligen Feuerwehren, nur ein Angebot an alle: Schaut euch das an in Österreich, in Bayern, in anderen Ländern! Das funktioniert sehr, sehr gut. Zusammenarbeit funktioniert.</p> <p class="contents">Europa ist aber auch ein Europa der Wissenschaft. Glauben wir, was sie uns sagt? Ja, es gibt den Klimawandel. Ja, wir müssen was machen. Wenn Frau von der Leyen gesagt hat, der europäische Plan zur Anpassung an den Klimawandel wird jetzt kommen, dann hoffe ich, dass das jetzt auch wirklich schnell funktioniert.</p> <p class="contents">Noch ein Wort an die Freunde in Portugal:</p> <p class="contents">Senhora Presidente, os meus pensamentos vão também para as vítimas dos fogos em Portugal.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001324285"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/197449.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-10:41:11&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-10:42:41" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Michael Bloss (Verts/ALE).</span></span> – Frau Präsidentin, Herr Kommissar, sehr geehrte Damen und Herren!

Wir müssen uns an die Fakten halten.</p> <p class="contents">Die EU‑Kommission selbst sagt, dass die Klimakrise in Europa schon einen Schaden von 650 Milliarden Euro verursacht hat. Ein Grad mehr heißt, dass 7 % mehr Wasseraufnahme in der Luft stattfindet, und das bedeutet mehr Regen und mehr Fluten. Europa hat sich jetzt schon um 2,3 Grad erwärmt. Die Wissenschaft hat jetzt schon festgestellt, dass der Grund für die Heftigkeit dieser Hochwasser die Klimakrise ist.</p> <p class="contents">Das sind die Fakten, und es ist für mich unverständlich, dass wir in Zeiten von fallenden Asylzahlen über Migration sprechen, aber diese Probleme verdrängen. Die Mutter, der Vater und der Urgrund aller Probleme in der Zukunft ist die Klimakrise.

Ez az első felszólalásom az Európai Parlament új képviselőjeként, és büszke vagyok rá, hogy egy olyan fontos témában szólalhatok fel, amely hazámban, Magyarországon és Közép-Európa más országaiban sok embert érint. Azokról a katasztrofális áradásokról van szó, amelyek jelenleg településeket, megélhetéseket és családi otthonokat veszélyeztetnek, vagy a legsúlyosabb esetekben el is pusztítják azokat. A Patrióták Európáért frakció képviselőjeként kifejezem legmélyebb együttérzésemet az árvíz károsultjaival, és köszönetet mondok a mentési és védelmi szolgálatoknak és önkénteseknek, akik most, miközben mi itt, az Európai Parlamentben tesszük meg a tőlünk telhető legtöbbet, ők a terepen végzik hősies munkájukat.</p> <p class="contents">A mostani súlyos árvíz felhívja a figyelmet az éghajlatváltozás gyakorlati hatásaira. A természeti katasztrófák egyre sűrűbben következnek be. Ugyanakkor ebben a helyzetben nekünk az árvízkárosult emberekre is oda kell figyelnünk. Segítségre van szükségük, méghozzá azonnal. Tisztelt Képviselők, az Európai Uniónak sürgősen kell cselekednie! Összefogásra van szükség ahhoz, hogy a segélyek eljussanak az érintett közösségekhez. A támogatásokat úgy tudjuk a leggyorsabban biztosítani, ha a szükségtelen bürokráciát és feltételességet elkerüljük. Válaszlépéseinket a humanitárius elveknek kell vezérelniük, nem pedig egyfajta hideg adminisztratív logikának. Arra kérem Önöket, hogy mutassuk meg, hogy elkötelezettek vagyunk a szolidaritás közös értéke mellett, és biztosítsuk, hogy akik elszenvedik az árvíz szörnyűségeit, minden szükséges segítséget megkapjanak azonnal.

Deshalb müssen wir zu vernünftigen und bezahlbaren Versicherungslösungen kommen, mit denen die Menschen sich gegen Hochwasser und andere Elementarschäden absichern können.

Nu s-a investit aproape nimic în ultimii 35 de ani în ceea ce privește sistematizarea hidrologică și protecția zonelor în care se pot produce inundații. Niciun dig împotriva inundațiilor din România nu are autorizație de funcționare în condiții de siguranță. La fel cum nu mai puțin de jumătate din cele 2 000 de baraje au această autorizație de funcționare.</p> <p class="contents">În al doilea rând, strategia Uniunii Europene pentru regiunea Dunării nu a fost implementată corespunzător, a fost abandonată prea devreme și nu a fost finanțată așa cum trebuie. Spre exemplu, țara mea ar beneficia, dacă s-ar găsi niște fonduri pentru îndiguiri în zona Dunării. În toate porturile de pe teritoriul țării mele, cotele de inundații au fost depășite. Vreau să subliniez și faptul că gestionarea situației de către Guvernul de la București s-a făcut catastrofal, atât logistic, cât și din perspectivă umană. Spre exemplu, Cabinetul Ciolacu și-a bătut joc de oameni, alocând umilitoarea sumă de 2 000 de euro familiilor persoanelor decedate în inundații.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001324339"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/257003.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-11:20:09&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-11:21:24" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Jeannette Baljeu (Renew).</span></span> – Voorzitter, commissaris, collega’s, het is een ernstig onderwerp waarover ik vandaag mijn maidenspeech houd.

Při minimalizaci škod se projevilo, že stát disponoval dostatkem meteorologických dat a hydrologických predikcí. Investujme proto do moderních technologií, včetně kosmických! Povodňová situace nesmí být zneužívána k zavádějící argumentaci, že máme přistoupit ke zpřísňování zelené politiky. Prevenci potřebujeme, zpřísňování Zelené dohody ne. Pozitivní roli sehrála vodní díla, a proto musíme i přes odpor řady aktivistů pokračovat v budování dalších. Unie by měla poskytnout maximum financí na obnovu postižených oblastí, a to ze všech finančních nástrojů, které má k dispozici.

Dlatego trzeba wezwać Komisję Europejską do szybkich i odważnych decyzji, ponieważ istnieją możliwości i źródła finansowania w postaci funduszy strukturalnych w ramach polityki spójności.</p> <p class="contents">Rządy państw członkowskich, rząd w Polsce, polskie regiony posiadają środki finansowe, które za zgodą Komisji Europejskiej mogłyby przeznaczyć na odbudowę tych zniszczonych terenów. Także Krajowy Plan Odbudowy, który jest finansowany z Funduszu Odbudowy, odbudowujemy Europę po pandemii COVID-19, odbudowujemy Europę po skutkach wojny w Ukrainie. Możemy z tego funduszu odbudować także zniszczone tereny, ale do tego potrzebna jest decyzja Komisji Europejskiej. Odważna i szybka. Komisja Europejska w ostatnich latach udowodniła, że potrafi takie decyzje podejmować.

Die Bilder, die wir gerade aus dem Osten Europas sehen, sind dramatisch, und sie erinnern mich sehr stark an das, was auch in Belgien im Jahre 2021 geschehen ist. Unser Mitgefühl sollte also bei diesen Menschen im Osten Europas sein. Und ja, das hat mit Klimawandel zu tun, und zwar sehr viel. Europa muss Solidarität zeigen: Wir haben zwei Mechanismen, das sind der Katastrophenschutzmechanismus und der Solidaritätsfonds.</p> <p class="contents">Ich werde Ihnen eine kleine Geschichte zum Solidaritätsfonds erzählen, aus meinen Erfahrungen von 2021. Dort wurde eine Schule von den Fluten zerstört. Die Bürgermeisterin wollte diese Schule neu aufbauen. Diese Schule wurde für 6 Millionen aufgebaut. Wenn man sie resilient hätte aufbauen können oder sollen, dann hätte das 10 Millionen gekostet; die Bürgermeisterin hatte dieses Geld nicht, und deswegen wurde sie nicht resilient aufgebaut. Wir brauchen also eine Art neuen Fonds, einen <span class="italic">Climate Adaptation-</span>Fonds, der es den Menschen erlaubt, resilienter aufzubauen.</p> <p class="contents">Und dann gibt es ein weiteres Problem. Vielleicht sollte ich noch erwähnen: Aus dem Solidaritätsfonds hat Belgien damals 87 Millionen erhalten – wir hatten Schäden von bis zu 4 Milliarden; also ist die Erkenntnis da, dass dieser Solidaritätsfonds nicht funktioniert.</p> <p class="contents">Aber ich möchte noch eine Lanze für die Feuerwehrleute brechen. Viele freiwillige Feuerwehrleute tun dies und helfen uns und sorgen für unsere Sicherheit. Ihnen fehlt aber ein einheitliches Statut, ein Sozialstatut in Europa. Für viele Feuerwehrleute ist es finanziell mittlerweile teurer, freiwilliger Feuerwehrmann zu sein, als es nicht zu sein.

Τις τελευταίες μέρες οι συνέπειες αυτές έχουν τη μορφή ακραίων φαινομένων, με πλημμύρες σε Ανατολική και Κεντρική Ευρώπη και με πυρκαγιές στην Πορτογαλία —φαινόμενα που πλήττουν όλο και συχνότερα και την πατρίδα μου, την Ελλάδα, με πιο χαρακτηριστικό αυτό που συνέβη πέρυσι με τις πλημμύρες στη Θεσσαλία.</p> <p class="contents">Δεν πρέπει να περιμένουμε να έρθει μια καταστροφή για να αντιμετωπίσουμε μια κατάσταση που είναι η νέα πραγματικότητα. Και δεν πρόκειται για στατιστικές και αριθμούς· πρόκειται για αλλαγές που επηρεάζουν καθημερινά τη ζωή μας. Τα ακραία φαινόμενα είναι η μία μορφή των συνεπειών της κλιματικής κρίσης. Βλέπουμε έντονο το φαινόμενο της λειψυδρίας και τις μεγάλες επιπτώσεις στην αγροτική παραγωγή, καθώς οι αγρότες μας έρχονται διαρκώς αντιμέτωποι με ασυνήθιστες καιρικές συνθήκες.

Επίσης, πρέπει να επιταχύνουμε τις διαδικασίες αρωγής, να μειώσουμε τη γραφειοκρατία και να ενισχύσουμε τον συντονισμό μας. Είναι αδύνατον τέτοιας έκτασης και έντασης προβλήματα να αντιμετωπιστούν από κάθε χώρα μόνη της. Οι άνθρωποι περιμένουν να δουν την Ευρώπη δίπλα τους σε συνθήκες ακραίας κρίσης. Πρέπει, λοιπόν, να προσαρμοστούμε στις εποχές που έχουν αλλάξει.

Bei Waldbränden ist es nahezu normal geworden, dass er aktiviert wird; im Bereich der Flutbekämpfung kann das auch so sein.</p> <p class="contents">Deswegen trete ich dafür ein, dass wir uns für eine ambitionierte Weiterentwicklung dieses Mechanismus einsetzen, dass wir die strategische Reserve voranbringen, dass wir Material, Personal, gemeinsame Übungen verstärken, denn der Effekt ist nicht nur europäische Solidarität, sondern auch eine Stärkung und Modernisierung unserer Zivilschutzkräfte.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001397493"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/197391.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-11:57:42&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-11:58:51" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Heléne Fritzon (S&amp;D).</span></span> – Herr talman!

Wir müssen mehr dafür tun, dass die Klimakrise aufgehalten wird, weil sonst werden diese Fluten nicht mehr alle 100 Jahre, nicht mehr alle zehn Jahre, sondern jedes Jahr auftreten und Europäerinnen und Europäer gefährden.

And I wish to thank all those who shared their views, their thoughts and recommendations. And I took a very good note of all of them.</p> <p class="contents">I wish to assure everyone that the European Commission will be ready to use all its tools that it has at its disposal to help the affected Member States. These tools relate to emergency response through the Union Civil Protection Mechanism, through which we are ready, upon request, to provide high capacity pumping, flood containment, search and rescue units, divers, boats, vital services such as water purification, shelters, medical and health support, if there is a request.</p> <p class="contents">There has been one request from Czech Republic and it has already been responded to by an offer from another Member State, Slovenia. We are ready to do more upon request of the affected states.</p> <p class="contents">Second is financial support. Solidarity fund was mentioned by many. I wish to note here that Solidarity Fund is not a rapid response instrument. It is a post-disaster relief instrument which is used on the basis of the damage assessment. I would invite the affected Member States to use the time available. This is 12 weeks. No more. 12 weeks to submit their damage assessment for the Commission to assess it and then decide on the financial support.</p> <p class="contents">And there are other possible sources. In the past, the Commission showed its flexibility with regard, for instance, to the cohesion funds that have not been committed and allowed their redirection by the affected country to deal with the impact of the floods. I am positively sure that the Commission continues to be flexible also with regard to the latest floods affecting such a large number of countries.</p> <p class="contents">Now, as the session draws to a close. I wish once again to reflect on this increasing trend of ever more intense and frequent natural disasters and what we can and we should learn about this. We should first acknowledge that we live in the age of emergency. Europe and our citizens face an uncertain and dangerous future. Each year brings new, catastrophic, record-breaking disasters that strike with ever increasing intensity. That's why we must unite, the institutions, the Member States, and step up to the challenge of this new reality.</p> <p class="contents">We must rise to this unprecedented global crisis with unprecedented collaboration, unprecedented ambition and unprecedented action. And the Commission is ready to play its part in strengthening Europe's disaster prevention, preparedness and resilience, and in building our response capacity, so that we can respond when these disasters strike again.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001397515"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/28615.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-12:13:50&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-12:14:08" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">President.</span></span> – The debate is closed.</p> <p class="contents">The vote will take place on Thursday, 19 September.</p> <p class="contents"><span class="bold"><span class="italic">Rakstiski paziņojumi (178. pants)</span></span></p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001934513"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/197636.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Ioan-Rareş Bogdan (PPE), </span></span> <span class="italic">în scris</span><span class="bold">.</span> – Sute de familii din România, dar și din alte state afectate de inundații, s-au uitat neputincioase cum locuințele lor au fost înghițite de ape, rămânând fără un adăpost sigur.

Po pierwsze kryzys klimatyczny i dokonane już zmiany w ekosystemie naszej planety są faktem. To nie jest iluzja, ani jak próbują nas przekonać środowiska populistyczne, skrajnie prawicowe, wymysł „lewaków i ekoterrorystów”. Konsekwencje zmian klimatycznych są oczywiste i obserwujemy je właśnie teraz. To nie tylko powodzie w Europie Środkowo-Wschodniej, ale także ogromne pożary, które trawią południową cześć kontynentu.

In fact, Europol has underlined that it has never posed such a threat to our citizens and societies as it does today. More than 70 % of the criminal networks are active in more than three Member States at the same time.</p> <p class="contents">In my home country, the police have just identified around 600, 600!, gang criminals that are engaged in organised crime from other Member States. This epidemic of cross-border organised crime requires a European response, and this is exactly what the EPP Group is calling for.</p> <p class="contents">Concretely, we have to strengthen Europol's mandate and make it a truly operational police agency. This requires us to provide the agency with the necessary tools and resources to crack down on criminal networks.</p> <p class="contents">We also have to enhance the capabilities of Eurojust and the European Public Prosecutor's Office to dismantle criminal networks. Criminals need to be brought to justice. Furthermore, a crucial measure to combat organised crime is to disrupt the business models of criminal networks. This will require a 'follow the money approach', to freeze and confiscate assets and target the leaderships of such networks. We have to ensure that crime never pays.</p> <p class="contents">The political guidelines for the next Commission are very clear in this regard, and this is exactly what the EPP Group has been calling for. Widespread organised crime damages citizens trust in public institutions. It hinders honest people's everyday life. It is a threat to our business and to our European economy as a whole.</p> <p class="contents">The top priority for this coming Commission will have to be to deliver on these promises.

So don't consider this as an Austrian rehearsal, but I have to say, I wish Magnus Brunner every success in his future endeavours, and we have already heard what are the expectations of this House.</p> <p class="contents">Moving on to substance, I think we have to face that criminal networks employ in their restless, relentless pursuit of profit, extreme violence, corruption and intimidation. A threat not only to people's lives but also to democracy.</p> <p class="contents">Europol recently mapped the 821 most threatening criminal networks and showed how resilient they are. One third of the criminal networks have been active in the European Union for more than ten years. Nearly 90 % of them have infiltrated the legal economy, running businesses, investing in real estate. 70 % of these networks use violence, and 70 % of these most threatening criminal networks use corruption.</p> <p class="contents">Drug trafficking remains one of the most lucrative and concerning criminal activities. For instance, cocaine seizures have surged by 416 % over the last decade. Last year, a record eight tons of cocaine in a single catch in Rotterdam and 9.5 tonnes in Los Alcázares in Spain. last year in Antwerp, a record total of nearly 120 tonnes. Record breaking seizures highlight the global reach and control that criminals exert over drug supply chains.</p> <p class="contents">This control increased street violence, claiming gang members' and also innocent civilians' lives. We are taking decisive action. To address the growing threat of organised crime, the Commission adopted the EU Roadmap to Combat Drug Trafficking and Organised Crime. One major initiative is the EU Ports Alliance, to keep criminals and drugs out of our harbours, to boost securities and improve cooperation between law enforcement companies and customs imports.</p> <p class="contents">Next week, the Commission will launch the new European Judicial Organised Crime Network to intensify judicial cooperation across borders. Since this summer, the European Union Drugs Agency has a stronger mandate to react faster to new threats. The new European Commission coordinator for the fight against drug trafficking will play a crucial role in implementing the EU Drugs Action Plan to respond to the evolving criminal landscape.</p> <p class="contents">The EU has now rules to ensure systematic financial investigations, accompanying criminal investigations in organised crime and stronger measures to confiscate illicit profits.</p> <p class="contents">There are also new rules to prevent and detect money laundering, including crypto assets. We upgraded law enforcement tools on automatic data exchange and improved swift cross-border cooperation to prevent, detect or investigate criminal offences.</p> <p class="contents">The EU Action Plan on Firearms Trafficking focuses on increasing pressure on criminal markets and stepping up international cooperation. In March 2024, the co-legislators agreed on a recast regulation for the import, export and transit of civilian firearms, enhancing traceability. It must be implemented swiftly now. Corruption remains a critical enabler for criminal networks. We must address intelligence gaps.</p> <p class="contents">I encourage this House to initiate negotiations with the Council on the directive to combat corruption. And it is essential that law enforcement and judicial authorities have lawful access to electronic data, which can serve as evidence. Adopting the e-evidence package has been a key milestone.</p> <p class="contents">Organised crime is a global challenge and the Union must enhance cooperation with international partners. We can think of three key areas.</p> <p class="contents">First, deepening our cooperation with Latin American countries, including ongoing negotiations with Brazil, Bolivia and Ecuador for international agreements to exchange data with Europol.</p> <p class="contents">Second, West Africa has become a major transit route for drugs from South America. At the High Level Conference this year in June, the European Union and African partners discussed strategies to combat drug trafficking in the Gulf of Guinea, with a focus on strengthening local capacities.</p> <p class="contents">And finally cooperation with the Western Balkans, Ukraine and Moldova is vital. These countries must continue to engage with Europol and the EU Drug Agency.</p> <p class="contents">Over the last years, the Union has considerably reinforced the legal framework to disrupt the business model of criminal groups. Reinforcing Europol, the beating heart of Europol Police cooperation has been a decisive step in this regard. In spite of all our actions, much more work is required in the next five years to combat organised crime effectively, with a comprehensive operational cross-border approach. I trust you will meet the challenges.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001401348"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/197606.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-12:34:21&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-12:36:36" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Javier Zarzalejos, </span></span> <span class="italic">en nombre del Grupo PPE</span><span class="bold">.</span> – Señora presidenta, señor comisario, Europol ha identificado ochocientas veintiuna organizaciones criminales en Europa.

Hela samhället har ett ansvar för att få slut på eländet. Det är oacceptabelt att dessa plattformar används för att sprida brottslighet och rekrytera unga till gäng. Därför måste vi agera kraftfullt. Vi kan inte tillåta att brottslingar lever i överflöd, fria från konsekvenserna av sina illegala handlingar.</p> <p class="contents">Vi måste stoppa sociala medier från att bli verktyg för kriminella gäng genom att införa strängare lagar som håller digitala plattformar ansvariga för sitt innehåll och hur det används. Stärka Europol och polisiära samarbetet inom EU. Inrätta ett europeiskt expertcentrum mot narkotika och vapensmuggling. Ta fram en handlingsplan för att stärka medlemsländernas arbete med att stoppa nyrekryteringen, inklusive en särskild samordnare som arbetar med detta tillsammans med europeiska myndigheter och medlemsstaterna.</p> <p class="contents">Kollegor.

Solo en los primeros seis meses del año en España se han cometido 1 200 000 delitos. Ocupamos la quinta posición de 44 países europeos. Existe, casi en toda Europa, una especie de tolerancia con el delito y una enfermiza debilidad por el delincuente, una deformación moral que deja indefensas a las víctimas. Yo no sé si es culpa de Marx, de Freud o de mayo del 68, pero, sobre todo si el agresor es extranjero, los medios de comunicación y los partidos han pactado que se oculte la identidad del agresor. Y la izquierda siempre tiene una excusa para echarle la culpa al sistema, aunque ellos son el sistema, y la falsa derecha no tiene ideas ya.</p> <p class="contents">Vemos en Europa delitos desterrados o que jamás habíamos conocido: violaciones sexuales en manada; machetazos a plena luz del día; zonas de exclusión en las que la policía no puede entrar por miedo a que los políticos les dejen vendidos o a que, en el enfrentamiento, el delincuente tenga mejor armamento; mafias detrás de la venta ambulante ilegal, que destroza el comercio tradicional y degrada los barrios; mafias que se dedican al robo sistemático a vecinos y turistas o a la ocupación ilegal de la propiedad; mafias de tráfico de drogas que asesinan a nuestros guardias civiles, como sucedió en Barbate, por culpa de un Gobierno cómplice que les deja indefensos; mafias dedicadas al tráfico de personas, que inundan nuestras calles de inmigrantes ilegales y que cuentan con estructuras políticas y ONG que alimentan su negocio y patrocinan la otra mitad del viaje. He oído al comisario sorprenderse de que las mafias y las rutas del tráfico de drogas vienen de África. Llevamos tiempo diciéndolo: las mismas mafias que traen la droga son las que traen a los inmigrantes ilegales. La mayoría de los delincuentes está en la calle en menos de veinticuatro horas, a pesar de ser reincidentes. Y, si son extranjeros, no se procede a su deportación.</p> <p class="contents">Acabo de oír también al comisario decir que van a llegar a un acuerdo con Bolivia y con Brasil, solo le ha faltado añadir Cuba, Venezuela y Nicaragua. ¿Pero cómo vamos a llegar a un acuerdo en la lucha contra el delito contra Gobiernos que son en sí mismos una estructura delictiva? El Foro de São Paulo, el cártel de Puebla, Gobiernos controlados por el narcotráfico... ¿Con estos vamos a pactar? Gran negocio, comisario. Pero, mire, no hay otro método para combatir el delito. Al delincuente se le busca, se le identifica, se le detiene, se le enjuicia y se le encarcela. Y, por eso, es decisiva la cooperación policial y que ningún Estado miembro, como ha sucedido con Bélgica durante años, se convierta en santuario de delincuentes. Y, si son extranjeros, se les deporta.</p> <p class="contents">Miren, yo no quiero que la policía empate con el delincuente, quiero que gane siempre, no quiero ir a funerales de policías. Europa ha dejado de ser un lugar seguro, y es por culpa de políticos que prefieren al delincuente antes que al policía.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001401357"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/197501.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-12:42:20&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-12:45:46" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Joachim Stanisław Brudziński, </span></span> <span class="italic">w imieniu grupy ECR</span><span class="bold">.</span> – Pani Przewodnicząca!

Bezpieczeństwo obywateli Unii Europejskiej jest jednym z naszych głównych priorytetów. Od lat intensywnie pracujemy na rzecz wzmocnienia ochrony granic, wyposażenia organów ścigania w niezbędne narzędzia, a także promowania współpracy transgranicznej.</p> <p class="contents">Dlatego również popieramy zwiększenie budżetu Frontexu, który pomaga państwom członkowskim w ochronie granic zewnętrznych i zwalczaniu przestępczości transgranicznej, a poprzez to wspomaga również walkę z przestępczością zorganizowaną.

Aby zapewnić bezpieczeństwo i zapobiec nadużywaniu systemu azylowego, ochrona międzynarodowa powinna być przyznawana tylko tym, którzy rzeczywiście uciekają przed prześladowaniami i których życie jest zagrożone. Opowiadamy się za tym, aby wniosek o udzielenie ochrony międzynarodowej był rozpatrywany w krajach, z którymi wnioskodawcy mają bliskie więzy kulturowe, religijne lub geograficzne.

De la corruption à la drogue, de la criminalité environnementale au cybercrime, de la traite des êtres humains aux atteintes aux biens des personnes, la criminalité organisée est multiple et demande des réponses qui vont de la prévention à la répression.</p> <p class="contents">La prévention passe notamment par l'inclusion économique et sociale, par l'accès à l'emploi, à l'éducation, au logement, par le travail de quartier. Car c'est la précarité qui permet aussi aux réseaux de prospérer. Ces dimensions manquent cruellement, notamment au niveau de l'action européenne, d'où un besoin impératif de renforcer notre Europe sociale. Les moyens d'enquêtes et de poursuites doivent être soutenus au moyen d'un développement de la coopération policière et judiciaire dans le respect des droits fondamentaux, de la création de services et de juridictions spécialisées, de l'augmentation des moyens humains et financiers, ou encore de l'accès à des formations ciblées, notamment en criminalité financière.</p> <p class="contents">La question des sanctions est également importante, mais à la peine nécessaire doit s'ajouter la réhabilitation. Sans cela, c'est le cercle de la violence qui se poursuit ou la radicalisation qui continue à faire son chemin. Il faut assurer une analyse fine des tendances criminelles de plus en plus complexes en associant chercheurs et agents de terrain à ce travail. Enfin, je veux aussi rappeler l'importance de protéger la société civile qui combat le crime organisé au quotidien.</p> <p class="contents">Au niveau européen, il faut, et c'est crucial, poursuivre l'excellent travail de réseau et faire évoluer la législation européenne. Lutter contre la corruption en élargissant effectivement les compétences du Parquet européen, en ayant une plus grande ambition pour la directive anticorruption et en assurant des moyens d'action du niveau local au niveau global. Développer la coopération judiciaire internationale, notamment en faisant pression sur les États comme Dubaï, par exemple, qui accueillent les narcotrafiquants. Harmoniser la réponse européenne face au crime organisé en envisageant une réponse législative, et enfin améliorer les conditions de détention pour assurer la dignité des personnes détenues, notamment en détention préventive, et éviter la récidive. L'Europe peut renforcer la coordination et mettre en place les outils, mais c'est bien aux États membres de s'en saisir et d'y mettre les moyens ad hoc. Face à ce défi sécuritaire majeur, il est réellement plus que temps d'agir pour l'ensemble de nos citoyens.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001401363"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/257138.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-12:51:01&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-12:54:03" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Giuseppe Antoci, </span></span> <span class="italic">a nome del gruppo The Left</span><span class="bold">.</span> – Signora Presidente, onorevoli colleghi, oggi affrontiamo un tema che rappresenta una delle minacce più gravi alla sicurezza dell'Unione europea: la criminalità organizzata.</p> <p class="contents">Come documentato anche dall'ultimo rapporto di Europol, le organizzazioni criminali si infiltrano sempre più nelle nostre economie. I dati sono impressionanti: 821 organizzazioni criminali, di cui l'86 % è in grado di infiltrarsi nell'economia legale per mascherare le proprie attività o riciclare i propri profitti. Attraverso la corruzione, le minacce e l'intimidazione, acquisiscono il controllo di imprese, ottengono concessioni e autorizzazioni, e si aggiudicano appalti e sovvenzioni, operando in più paesi contemporaneamente e influendo negativamente sulla vita di milioni di cittadini europei.</p> <p class="contents">Dobbiamo rafforzare il coordinamento tra le forze delle procure degli Stati membri, permettendo uno scambio tempestivo di informazioni e rafforzando le agenzie Europol, Eurojust ed eu-LISA, nonché la Procura europea. Ritengo – così come già chiesto in una mia apposita risoluzione – che i tempi siano maturi per istituire una commissione speciale CRIM al Parlamento europeo: questa commissione sarà cruciale per garantire l'efficacia delle strategie e dell'azione dell'Unione europea contro le mafie.</p> <p class="contents">L'impegno dell'Unione europea non può prescindere dalla legislazione. È necessario vegliare sulla corretta implementazione della legislazione esistente, quale per esempio il regolamento (UE) 2018/1805 relativo al riconoscimento reciproco dei provvedimenti di congelamento e di confisca. La legislazione italiana è tristemente all'avanguardia in questo campo ed è già stata presa a modello in diversi provvedimenti europei. Un importante passo in questa direzione è stato fatto nella scorsa legislatura attraverso la revisione della direttiva sul sequestro e la confisca.</p> <p class="contents">Tuttavia, molto rimane ancora da fare ed è necessario armonizzare ulteriormente la legislazione antimafia a livello europeo. Essere membro di un'organizzazione di tipo mafioso deve essere considerato un reato in tutta Europa, come già previsto dall'articolo 416 bis del codice penale italiano. Non possiamo ignorare, per esempio, come i fondi destinati allo sviluppo rurale attraverso la PAC siano diventati bersaglio delle mafie. In Sicilia, non solo abbiamo combattuto per interrompere l'accaparramento di queste risorse, ma attraverso il protocollo che porta il mio nome, e diventato legge dello Stato, siamo riusciti anche a prevenire frodi e abusi: esperienze che devono guidare il nostro impegno per una vigilanza più rigorosa e un controllo più efficace su tutti i temi europei.</p> <p class="contents">Concludo: ritengo che l'impegno dell'Europa nel contrasto alla criminalità sia un dovere che tutti noi abbiamo nei confronti delle donne e degli uomini che nei decenni hanno denunciato e combattuto senza sosta il potere mafioso, spesso a costo della loro stessa vita.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001401365"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/257070.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-12:54:08&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-12:55:17" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Marcin Sypniewski, </span></span> <span class="italic">w imieniu grupy ESN</span><span class="bold">.</span> – Pani Przewodnicząca!

Der Europol-Bericht über <span class="italic">serious organised crime</span> ist schon angesprochen worden. Er alleine listet 55 der gefährlichsten kriminellen Netzwerke in der Europäischen Union auf. Die Strukturen zwischen legalen und illegalen Tätigkeiten verschwinden zusehends, die Bereitschaft, Gewalt anzuwenden, ist signifikant gestiegen. Hinzu kommen alarmierende Verbindungen zwischen Strukturen der organisierten Kriminalität und radikalisierten, teilweise sogar terroristischen Kräften. Der Bericht macht also mehr als klar: Wir müssen besser sein als die kriminellen Netzwerke. Wir brauchen eine Sicherheitsunion, die den Namen auch verdient.</p> <p class="contents">Was brauchen wir dazu? Vor allen Dingen die <span class="italic">tools and techniques</span>. KI für <span class="italic">law enforcement</span> darf kein Einhorn sein, sondern es muss ein Standardinstrument sein. Wir brauchen eine rechtssichere Möglichkeit, auf Verbindungs- und Verkehrsdaten zuzugreifen. Wir brauchen effektive und abschreckende Regeln zur Konfiszierung und zur Beweislastumkehr. Wir brauchen eine Stärkung der praktischen polizeilichen grenzüberschreitenden Zusammenarbeit. Wir haben so hervorragende Beispiele wie die deutsch‑französische Einsatzeinheit, die Binome an vielen Binnengrenzen der Europäischen Union, die <span class="italic">joint investigation teams</span>. Wir haben die verstärkte Einbindung und wir brauchen die verstärkte Einbindung der Zollbehörden, denn der Erfolgsfaktor hier ist immer die gemeinsame Sprache, gemeinsame Übungen, gemeinsame <span class="italic">action days</span> und vor allen Dingen eine anschlussfähige Ausstattung. Wir brauchen die Stärkung unserer eigenen Agenturen mit Personal, mit Finanzen, mit technischen und vor allen Dingen praktischen Möglichkeiten. Wir müssen von vornherein mitdenken. <span class="italic">Going local</span> ist eine Ausweichstrategie der organisierten Kriminalität, das heißt, auch die lokale Ebene muss in der Lage sein, zusammenzuarbeiten; dabei müssen wir sie unterstützen.</p> <p class="contents">Zu guter Letzt: Das alles hilft nicht, wenn die Justiz nicht hinterherkommen kann. Das heißt, wir brauchen auch hier mehr Ressourcen in den Hauptstädten, aber auch auf der europäischen Ebene mit unseren Agenturen, beispielsweise Eurojust, der EPPO – aber eben auch die Frage, wie wir eigentlich die <span class="italic">JITs</span> weiterentwickeln können zu <span class="italic">standing</span> <span class="italic">JITs</span> für bestimmte Phänomenbereiche.</p> <p class="contents">Sie sehen, wir haben einiges zu tun.

Un enunciado con el que podemos estar de acuerdo. Y, desde luego, no contribuye ningún discurso alarmista —como se ha escuchado en esta tribuna— que intente generar pánico en la ciudadanía para luego explotarlo electoralmente, y menos utilizando datos falsos y mal interpretados.</p> <p class="contents">No, seamos serios, la seguridad es un derecho fundamental de la ciudadanía europea, en paridad con la libertad, y la seguridad está amenazada por la criminalidad organizada que es la criminalidad en nuestro tiempo de globalización. Y resulta que Europol pone de manifiesto que la criminalidad organizada produce beneficios de 140 000 millones de euros al año, es decir, el 1 % del PIB. Y lo hace en ámbitos que entran de lleno en el Derecho penal europeo (artículo 83 del Tratado de Funcionamiento de la Unión Europea). Criminalidad organizada es el blanqueo de dinero procedente de negocios ilícitos, es la corrupción, son los tráficos ilícitos, sean de personas o sean de armas, es la ciberdelincuencia y, por supuesto, son las drogas. Y, para ello, es imprescindible una Unión Europea más robusta y más eficaz de lo que lo que somos en este momento.</p> <p class="contents">En la pasada legislatura pusimos en marcha algunas leyes europeas principales en este ámbito: la Directiva contra el tráfico de seres humanos, que, por cierto, ordena convertir en Derecho penal en los Estados miembros la explotación laboral o sexual de las víctimas de trata, pero también la Directiva sobre recuperación y decomiso de activos y el paquete contra el blanqueo. Y contamos además en Europol con una unidad especializada: la plataforma multidisciplinar europea contra las amenazas delictivas, la llamada Empact, de acuerdo con la cual se han llevado a cabo el año pasado 15 000 investigaciones, 20 000 detenciones y la incautación de 800 millones de euros y 200 toneladas de droga.</p> <p class="contents">¿Qué podemos hacer para mejorar? Reforzar la cooperación con actores terceros. Interpol. Reforzar la cooperación policial y judicial (mandato de la Unión Europea, artículos 82 y 88 del Tratado de Funcionamiento de la Unión Europea). Y, por supuesto, una mejor relación de las instituciones y agencias actualmente disponibles. La CEPOL, además de Interpol, se dedica a la formación especializada de policía, que merece todos los medios y toda la atención. Además, debemos luchar contra el blanqueo y el terrorismo. Y contamos con la Fiscalía Europea. Todo ello de modo que realmente honremos que libertad y la seguridad son derechos fundamentales en paridad.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001401371"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/256875.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-13:00:28&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-13:03:02" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Matthieu Valet (PfE).</span></span> – Madame la Présidente, mes chers collègues, ayant grandi en plein cœur des quartiers populaires de Lille, du Nord de la France, venant d'une cité, j'ai été le premier témoin, depuis ma tour d'immeuble, du laxisme de la gauche qui a tout excusé, tout justifié et tout pardonné à ces voyous qui pourrissent si souvent notre quotidien. Trente ans de lâcheté politique ont donné les clés de nos quartiers aux trafiquants de drogue, aux grands frères, aux islamistes et aux réseaux criminels. Tout cela aidé par des juges européens qui n'ont de cesse d'alourdir la charge des enquêteurs pour faciliter la vie des délinquants et transformer en sacerdoce la vie des enquêteurs qui protègent avant tout les victimes.</p> <p class="contents">D'ailleurs, aujourd'hui, la situation est hors de contrôle puisque ce sont de véritables mafias qui agissent avec une coordination et une efficacité redoutables – qui manquent tant à nos polices européennes –, se jouant de nos règles, de nos faiblesses, voire de notre abandon pour imposer leurs propres règles, notamment la règle du plus fort.

Malheureusement, des gamins de mon quartier n'ont pas suivi la même voie. Pour 100 euros par jour, ils ont parfois décidé de mourir sous les balles des kalachnikovs pour surveiller un point de deal, ou pour vendre de la drogue.</p> <p class="contents">Mesdames et Messieurs les députés, réveillons-nous! Des cartels font couler le sang dans nos pays pour s'arroger les clés de nos démocraties. Pire, les pays qui ont pris la voie de la dépénalisation, voire de la légalisation de la drogue, si chère à l'extrême gauche, ont aujourd'hui le couteau sous la gorge, un couteau tenu par ces cartels qui menacent jusqu'aux membres du gouvernement, des magistrats, des policiers, comme récemment aux Pays-Bas. En refusant de protéger ses frontières, l'Union européenne nous met à genoux face à ces mafias. Cette fois-ci, ce sont nos voisins allemands qui rappellent une réalité: le nombre de migrants interpellés en lien avec la criminalité organisée a plus que doublé depuis 2020.</p> <p class="contents">Protéger nos frontières, c'est protéger nos enfants.

Je hoort regelmatig dat er iets gebeurd is: een ontploffing, iemand die werd doodgeschoten of een container die ergens ongecontroleerd arriveerde. We spreken er heel vaak over, maar tot nu toe is er heel weinig resultaat op Europees niveau.</p> <p class="contents">Ik stel wel vast dat er vooruitgang is geboekt bij de samenwerking tussen de havens van Rotterdam, Antwerpen en Hamburg. Men heeft systemen geïmplementeerd om de drugsproblematiek aan te pakken.</p> <p class="contents">Vandaag de dag kunnen drugs heel gemakkelijk circuleren in Europa. Zo zijn er in Nederland boerderijen waar synthetische drugs kunnen worden geproduceerd. Doordat de politie niet voldoende samenwerkt — niet omdat ze dat niet wil, integendeel, maar omdat er te weinig samenwerking bestaat, informatie tekortschiet of niet tijdig wordt uitgewisseld — kunnen drugsproducenten en ‑verkopers hen altijd een stap voor zijn. Dat helpt natuurlijk niet.</p> <p class="contents">Europa moet de regie dan ook terug in handen nemen en heeft dringend meer slagkracht nodig. We hebben tijdens de vorige legislatuur beslist over een nieuw agentschap. Nu moeten we overgaan tot de implementatie ervan. In die zin moet er dringend werk van worden gemaakt om havennetwerken beter te controleren en politionele en justitiële samenwerking te bevorderen.

For eksempel den velorganiserede arbejdskriminalitet, hvor arbejdsgivere bryder arbejdsmiljøregler, underbetaler og snyder i skat, og hvor det ofte viser sig, at disse grupper er tæt forbundet med den organiserede kriminalitet. Og tag ikke fejl, kolleger. Det her er et problem i syd såvel som i nord. Det blev vi i Danmark senest mindet om med TV-dokumentaren "Den sorte svane". Her løftede undercover journalistik lidt af sløret for, hvordan kynisk og systematisk udnyttelse finder sted på daglig basis.</p> <p class="contents">Og det er jo en udnyttelse, som nogle af højrefløjens gode venner i den såkaldte pæne del af erhvervslivet er involveret i sammen med kriminelle bander, advokater og jurister med ondt i etikken. Sammen organiserer de på kriminel vis måder, at udnytte og udbytte sårbare arbejdere. Nogle gange ved at underbetale dem, nogle gange ved at spille hasard med deres liv og førlighed, og det er altid med en klar fællesnævner: Jagten på kortsigtet profit på bekostning af andre. Jeg er helt enig med andre. Mange af de talere har sagt, at vi skrider langt hårdere ind over for den organiserede kriminalitet. Men vi skal også se på den sammenhæng, der er mellem arbejdskriminalitet, brud på arbejdsmiljøregler, skattesnyd, underbetaling af medarbejdere, det der foregår dér, og så de kriminelle miljøer. Så kampen mod organiseret kriminalitet handler også om at sikre lønarbejderne ordentlige vilkår.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001401379"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/23868.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-13:08:33&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-13:09:50" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Monika Beňová (NI).</span></span> – Vážená pani predsedajúca, organizovaný zločin je dnes jednou z najväčších hrozieb pre vnútornú bezpečnosť Európskej únie.

Che cosa ha fatto il suo datore di lavoro? Non ha chiamato i soccorsi, non l'ha portato in ospedale: l'ha caricato su un furgone, l'ha abbandonato davanti a casa sua, con il suo braccio mozzato in un cestino della verdura. L'azienda agricola che ha fatto tutto questo aveva tra l'altro, mi spiace dirlo, ricevuto i fondi della politica agricola comune.</p> <p class="contents">È stato un crimine orribile? Sì. È stato un incidente isolato? No. È un sistema.</p> <p class="contents">È un sistema produttivo, quello della filiera agroalimentare, che si basa sullo sfruttamento delle lavoratrici e dei lavoratori. È un sistema che mette il profitto davanti ai diritti umani – o al posto dei diritti umani. È un sistema che è infiltrato a ogni livello dalla criminalità organizzata, dalla produzione nei campi al trasporto e alla commercializzazione. Ovviamente, la criminalità organizzata cerca di mettere le mani sui fondi della politica agricola comune.</p> <p class="contents">Abbiamo delle leggi per contrastare tutto questo? Sì, ma in Italia abbiamo anche una legge – la legge Bossi‑Fini – che di fatto tiene centinaia di migliaia di persone, lavoratori di origine straniera, in una situazione di irregolarità. È un enorme bacino di manodopera a disposizione della criminalità organizzata e a disposizione degli sfruttatori. A volte è venuto anche il sospetto che i governi non abbiano fatto abbastanza per regolarizzare le persone proprio per poter utilizzare questa enorme massa di lavoratori da sfruttare.</p> <p class="contents">Che cosa possiamo fare da una prospettiva europea? Dobbiamo, credo, vigilare sulle regole del mercato e sui salari minimi, perché non è possibile che il profitto sia sempre davanti ai diritti. Dobbiamo certamente vigilare sui beneficiari della politica agricola comune, perché ogni volta che qualcuno mette le mani su questi fondi sta danneggiando i produttori che invece fanno le cose per bene, oltre che i consumatori, oltre che uccidere i lavoratori.</p> <p class="contents">Più in generale, visto che tutti quanti riconosciamo che la criminalità non conosce frontiere, io credo che sia giunto il momento, raccogliendo anche le sollecitazioni di diverse associazioni antimafia italiane, che questa istituzione si doti di una commissione permanente antimafia, perché solo lavorando insieme, in modo strutturato, potremo pensare di contrastare la criminalità organizzata in Europa.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001401385"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/197687.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-13:14:44&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-13:16:15" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Philippe Olivier (PfE).</span></span> – Madame la Présidente, je voudrais évoquer à cette tribune un sujet grave, mais qui semble être un angle mort de la réflexion de l'Union européenne en matière de transports, de sécurité des biens et des personnes, et de souveraineté. Je veux parler du contrôle des ports, c'est-à-dire des portes d'entrée de l'Europe.</p> <p class="contents">Au port du Havre, en France, un conteneur sur 5 000 est contrôlé. Un conteneur sur 5 000. On sait que l'essentiel de la drogue entre en Europe par les ports, au milieu des marchandises, et que les trafiquants y font régner leur loi entre menace de mort et corruption, et parfois le meurtre ou l'assassinat d'agents portuaires récalcitrants. Les ports sont les premiers territoires d'Europe que les gangs et les organisations criminelles transnationales ont investi et je dirais même conquis.</p> <p class="contents">On sait par ailleurs que les accords de libre-échange, déjà très laxistes, sont contournés et que des importations illégales de produits sont courantes. Ces importations s'affranchissent de toutes normes ou sont carrément illégales. Or, le commerce libre s'entend d'un commerce loyal et surtout légal. À quoi sert-il de s'inquiéter, à juste titre, du rachat régulier des ports européens par des États étrangers, au nom de la souveraineté, si c'est pour les abandonner aux mafias?

Dacă cineva dorește forță de muncă ieftină, trebuie să fie capabil să-și protejeze cetățenii. Dacă cineva dorește să blocheze ascensiunea populiștilor și a extremiștilor, trebuie să îi convingă de pericolul extremismului, nu să-i închidă pe cetățeni în case sau în țări. Dacă cineva dorește să controleze frontierele, să facă bine să o facă inteligent, nu să întârzie camioanele care transportă alimente, medicamente și echipamente.

Il va falloir que vous ouvriez les yeux et que vous osiez regarder, par exemple là, à quelques kilomètres, ici à Strasbourg, vers les cités du Neuhof ou de Hautepierre. Vous verrez, parce qu'ils ne se cachent même pas, les dealers qui tiennent des quartiers en y appliquant leurs règles d'ultra-violence. Ils dominent ces cités en y vendant du cannabis, un cannabis qui provient à 82 % du Maroc.</p> <p class="contents">Alors certes, on fait quelques saisies symboliques, on communique dessus, mais vous n'allez pas me faire croire qu'avec les moyens technologiques qu'on peut avoir aujourd'hui, on n'a pas les capacités de mieux bloquer les arrivées de ces milliers de tonnes de cannabis, ni que le Maroc ne voit pas les milliers d'hectares de production sur son sol. Parce que oui, pour faire venir autant de cannabis, il faut des milliers d'hectares de production. Je pense que vous achetez une paix politique au Maroc et que ce sont les victimes des règlements de compte, des balles perdues ou toutes les victimes des conséquences sanitaires du cannabis qui en paient le prix.</p> <p class="contents">Si vous faites encore quelques kilomètres, toujours ici à Strasbourg, dans la rue du Doubs, vous verrez des jeunes filles victimes de trafiquants d'êtres humains, là aussi ultra-violents. Vous en voyez aussi dans nos campagnes, à l'intérieur de camionnettes. Vous dénoncez avec justesse les esclavages passés et vous vous vantez d'être féministes. Mais que vous êtes lâches lorsqu'il s'agit de vous attaquer à l'esclavage d'aujourd'hui, celui qui est devant vos yeux, nos yeux, celui qui fait que des milliers de femmes sont louées à même le trottoir, telles des marchandises.</p> <p class="contents">Et que dire du trafic de cocaïne qui nous amène à une «mexicanisation» de l'Europe. La Belgique et les Pays-Bas vivent cette pression qui touche déjà leurs organes institutionnels, et le phénomène se propage au sein de l'UE. Nous pourrions devenir le premier narco-continent. Alors cessez vos grands discours sur l'Europe puissance, cessez votre blabla et passez aux actes. Accordez enfin à Frontex et à Europol les moyens humains, matériels et légaux d'être efficaces et de remplir leurs missions, celle aussi de protéger nos frontières extérieures et de coordonner les polices des différents pays.</p> <p class="contents">Les justices des pays de l'UE sont en train de comprendre petit à petit, avec leurs gouvernements, que la meilleure des préventions est la peur de la sanction. Ne les freinez plus par des textes qui protègent les trafiquants sous prétexte de droits fondamentaux contraires aux droits des victimes et des plus faibles. N'oubliez jamais que derrière votre inaction et parfois vos actions idéologiques, comme je viens d'en citer, se cachent des milliers de familles déchirées et de vies gâchées.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001401395"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/257144.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-13:24:35&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-13:26:27" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Paolo Inselvini (ECR).</span></span> – Signora Presidente, signor Commissario, onorevoli colleghi, siamo in guerra.</p> <p class="contents">Sì, siamo in guerra.

Il denaro illecito non ha confini, viene trasferito e riciclato in paradisi fiscali all'interno dell'Unione, in paesi come Malta, Paesi Bassi e Lussemburgo. Qui, la tolleranza fiscale ha creato un terreno fertile dove attività lecite e illecite convivono indisturbate, facilitando il riciclaggio di denaro e la corruzione.</p> <p class="contents">Se il loro scopo è fare soldi in maniera illecita, dobbiamo agire di conseguenza per togliere loro queste ricchezze.

Mianowicie w kraju, który sąsiaduje z Białorusią, Ukrainą, która jest poddawana wojnie hybrydowej, prokuratorzy, którzy byli delegowani do Prokuratury Krajowej, zajmujący się cyberbezpieczeństwem, zostali z dnia na dzień wyrzuceni.</p> <p class="contents">Wolna Europa, Polska podziękowała najlepszym specjalistom zwalczania przestępczości.

Szanowni Państwo! Pytanie jest takie: nie czy nadejdzie, ale kiedy to nastąpi? To pytanie o obecność syntetycznych opioidów, jak fentanyl, w Europie. Grozi nam fala, która może zalać nasz kontynent. Ostrzeżenia płyną zarówno z USA, jak i z Kanady, gdzie już doświadczono katastrofy związanej z syntetycznymi opioidami i gdzie całe dzielnice miast przypominają sceny jak z horroru.</p> <p class="contents">Już teraz w strefie Schengen wykrywane są laboratoria produkujące syntetyczne opioidy, które bez przeszkód mogą być rozprowadzane po całej Europie. Przestępcy i handlarze doskonale wiedzą, jak wybrać swoje ofiary. Życie młodych Europejczyków może zostać nagle zniszczone przez nieświadome połknięcie nawet jednej tabletki. Uzależnieni od narkotyków wybiorą syntetyczne opioidy jako tańszą alternatywę dla innych substancji. Ich cena jest znacznie niższa, a działanie silniejsze nawet 50 razy.</p> <p class="contents">Dotychczasowa strategia Unii Europejskiej dotycząca walki z narkotykami okazała się mało skuteczna, nieelastyczna i bez realnych możliwości powstrzymania tego zagrożenia. Państwa członkowskie muszą być wsparte w tej walce przez fundusze i wspólną politykę Unii Europejskiej. Nie można czekać, aż do innych lęków trapiących obywateli UE dojdzie lęk przed zamianą ludzi w zombi i związany z tym brak zaufania do sprawczości państw i Unii.</p> <p class="contents">To kwestia naszego bezpieczeństwa. Dlatego apeluję do Komisji i przyszłych komisarzy o pilną koordynację i działania mogące powstrzymać ten scenariusz. Dlatego też apeluję do Parlamentu Europejskiego o pilne zajęcie się tą sprawą.</p> <p class="contents">To tyle, jeśli chodzi o moje przemówienie. Proszę mi pozwolić na dwa słowa polemiki.

Grupy młodych, bezrobotnych, agresywnych mężczyzn to coraz częstszy widok na europejskich ulicach. A co to oznacza? Każdy z Państwa wie doskonale, bo jako europarlamentarzysta dostaje ostrzeżenia, gdzie wieczorem w Brukseli raczej nie powinien chodzić.

Imigranci z Afryki, choć stanowią 2,5% społeczeństwa, odpowiedzialni są za 20% przestępstw seksualnych w tym kraju. Szwecja – około 33% więźniów to imigranci. Niemcy – raport w sprawie przestępczości pokazuje, że imigranci są nadreprezentowani w zabójstwach, morderstwach, ciężkich obrażeniach ciała i gwałtach. Sama niemiecka minister spraw wewnętrznych podkreślała, że Niemcy pozostają jednym z najniebezpieczniejszych krajów na świecie.</p> <p class="contents">Stanowczo odrzucamy dalsze sprowadzanie i przyjmowanie imigrantów.

Organizirani kriminal predstavlja ozbiljnu prijetnju unutarnjoj sigurnosti Europske unije te destabilizira, očito, njezin ekonomski, politički i društveni sustav.</p> <p class="contents">U 2022. godini kriminalne aktivnosti poput trgovine drogom, najviše kanabisa i kokaina, krijumčarenja ljudi i kibernetičkog kriminala, koštale su u Europskoj uniji nevjerojatnih 350 milijardi eura. Oko 70 posto organiziranih kriminalnih skupina koje djeluju u Europskoj uniji povezano je s organizacijama izvan Unije. Stoga je sasvim razvidno da moramo osigurati dovoljno resursa za borbu protiv terorizma, trgovine ljudima i krijumčarenja droge na terenu. Tu prije svega želim zahvaliti našoj policiji.</p> <p class="contents">Međutim, moramo pogledati i dalje organizirani kriminal, primjerice na zapadnom Balkanu, kada govorimo o geopolitičkom smislu predstavlja ozbiljan izazov za sigurnost i ekonomski razvoj regije. Glavni je izazov, naravno, i njegova transnacionalna priroda, koja iskorištava razlike u zakonodavstvu i pravosudnim sustavima.</p> <p class="contents">Trgovina drogom, koju smo često čuli da danas spominjete i vi, kolege, i očito mora biti jedna posebna tema, još uvijek je najprofitabilniji oblik organiziranog kriminala i zarađuje milijarde eura godišnje. Kriminalne skupine iskorištavaju i migrante, ranjive pojedince, najčešće za radnu eksploataciju, pa i seksualno ropstvo. Kibernetički kriminal, naravno s razvojem digitalnih tehnologija, sve više iskorištava internet za ilegalne aktivnosti poput hakiranja, krađe podataka i financijskih prijevara, međutim, fokus su i geopolitički ciljevi.</p> <p class="contents">Organizirani kriminal doprinosi i širenju ilegalnog oružja unutar Europske unije, što povećava rizik od nasilnih zločina i terorističkih napada. Kroz razne sheme kriminalne skupine peru ilegalno stečeni novac, što im omogućuje infiltraciju u zakonite ekonomske tokove i politiku. Naravno da koristi korupciju kako bi se zaštitio od progona.</p> <p class="contents">Završit ću gospodine povjereniče.

And on the one hand, that is welcome because our Gardaí, like police forces right across Europe, go above and beyond their duty to keep us safe. But on the other hand, it's a signal that organised crime, including the smuggling of illegal substances, continues to be organised, well financed and well resourced. So tackling organised crime absolutely should be a major EU priority because crime doesn't respect our national borders.</p> <p class="contents">And thankfully Europe is stepping up to the plate. We're establishing a new EU agency to tackle money laundering, tackle illegal migration, clamp down on excise fraud and we are beefing up our defences on cyber crime.</p> <p class="contents">But we absolutely must do more. Since our last plenary session here in July, Europol has been involved in cracking down on Europe's largest ever synthetic opioid lab, a cocaine lab, multiple migrant smuggling rings, euro counterfeiters, cyber criminals, money launderers, contract killers and drug traffickers, just to name a few. And yesterday, at home, An Garda Síochána in Dublin, working with Europol, dealt a major blow to one of our country's largest drug gangs, seizing 100 kg of cocaine worth EUR 7 million.</p> <p class="contents">Organised crime gangs tear our communities and families apart. They prey on the vulnerable and they have a massive, damaging effect on every level of our societies. But we are only going to make progress in tackling this scourge if we support and resource our Garda enforcement personnel.</p> <p class="contents">And to that end, I want to call for an increase in the membership and numbers of An Garda Síochána – Ireland's police force – to reach 20 000 members. We have a growing population, we have a growing crime drug problem and we have growing organised criminal gangs. And if our police are to keep us safe, we absolutely must support them in return.</p> <p class="contents">We must root out the leadership of these gangs, whether they are in Europe or elsewhere, and bring down the trafficking networks, seize every last euro they have made and ensure that they're held accountable. Because whether it's the family crime gang in Dublin, human traffickers across Europe, or drug trafficking right across the world, EU Member States must do everything to destroy the gangs and make them pay for the damage they've done to our families and societies.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001401437"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/28400.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-14:02:50&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-14:05:16" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Francisco José Millán Mon (PPE).</span></span> – Señora presidenta, el crimen organizado es una de las amenazas más graves a la seguridad en Europa, lo acaba de describir muy bien mi compañero el señor Zoido. Quiero centrarme en un aspecto específico: el narcotráfico. Y un dato: desde el año 2020 la Unión Europea se ha convertido en el mayor mercado de consumo de cocaína de todo el mundo.</p> <p class="contents">Me gustaría hacer unas breves consideraciones. En primer lugar, creo que es necesario que la Comisión Europea redoble sus esfuerzos y ofrezca una respuesta conjunta a esta lacra. Es cierto que la seguridad es una responsabilidad primordial de los Estados miembros, pero no podemos olvidar que el tráfico de drogas transciende fronteras y exige una respuesta común a nivel europeo.</p> <p class="contents">Además, debemos incrementar la cooperación y el intercambio de información con terceros países, principalmente con los de América Latina. Se refirió el comisario a los acuerdos de intercambio de datos de Europol con Brasil, Ecuador, y me parece que era también Bolivia. Yo creo, en esta línea, que lo que hay que hacer también es dar seguimiento a la declaración aprobada en septiembre del año 2023 tras la reunión de los ministros de Interior de la Unión con sus homólogos latinoamericanos, con el llamado CLASI. ¿Está previsto celebrar en los próximos meses la reunión ministerial anual recogida en la declaración del año pasado, señor comisario?</p> <p class="contents">Otro aspecto clave es el rol de los puertos europeos, uno de los temas prioritarios en la nueva hoja de ruta de la Unión, adoptada en octubre de 2023. Cerca del 70 % de las incautaciones de droga en la Unión tiene lugar en los puertos. Es imprescindible reforzar los controles y los medios en ellos. Celebro mucho que, en España, por ejemplo, el puerto de Vigo en mi región, Galicia, esté renovando su sistema de escáner de contenedores para mejorar la detección de alijos de droga. Debemos también promover inspecciones y controles en los puertos de origen y habrá que reforzar la cooperación con los puertos de terceros países. La Alianza Europea de Puertos es un paso en la dirección correcta. Los países de América Latina también trabajan para crear su propia red, lo que me parece una gran idea. Y ambas alianzas deberían cooperar estrechamente.</p> <p class="contents">Me gustaría saber qué piensa hacer la Comisión con el programa Copolad III, vigente desde 2021 y que expira en enero de 2025. ¿Piensan ustedes en su renovación? Oí el otro día —de una fuente latinoamericana— que no, por falta de financiación.

Aus dem im September veröffentlichten Bericht des Bundeskriminalamtes in Deutschland geht hervor, dass sich der wirtschaftliche Schaden aus der organisierten Kriminalität in Deutschland mehr als verdoppelt hat – 2,7 Mrd. EUR beträgt die Schadenssumme für das Jahr 2023. Allein durch Cyberkriminalität ist ein Schaden von 1,7 Mrd. EUR entstanden. 70 % der kriminellen Vereinigungen sind dabei in mehr als drei Mitgliedstaaten aktiv.</p> <p class="contents">Wir haben hier in den letzten zwei Jahren sehr erfolgreich an einem Rahmenwerk zur Geldwäschebekämpfung gearbeitet, wodurch die grenzüberschreitende Zusammenarbeit stark verbessert wird und die Schlupflöcher dann hoffentlich auch nach und nach geschlossen werden. Dadurch wird es in Zukunft schwieriger sein, Geld aus der kriminellen Tätigkeit in Umlauf zu bringen.</p> <p class="contents">Wir haben mit Europol, Eurojust und natürlich mit der Europäischen Staatsanwaltschaft die richtigen Instrumente, um die Kriminalität in diesem Zusammenhang weiterhin zurückzudrängen und ihr das Handwerk zu legen. Das mag aufgrund der aktuellen Zahlen manchmal wie ein Tropfen auf den heißen Stein erscheinen, aber wir brauchen sicherlich einen langen Atem. Nur durch eine koordinierte europäische Zusammenarbeit und die Optimierung von Prozessen durch Digitalisierung können wir das organisierte Verbrechen dementsprechend effektiv bekämpfen.</p> <p class="contents">Auch innerhalb der Mitgliedstaaten müssen die Prozesse weiter optimiert werden. Je kleinteiliger die Organisation ist, desto einfacher machen wir es der organisierten Kriminalität. Die Polizeibehörden der einzelnen Länder müssen daher intensiver und viel besser zusammenarbeiten. Der Informationsaustausch muss optimiert werden, und auch der Datenschutz – und das, denke ich, ist auch besonders wichtig – darf bei der Verbrechensbekämpfung nicht zum Täterschutz werden.</p> <p class="contents">Wir alle wissen, dass die Kriminalität an den Grenzen keinen Halt macht, und deshalb: Wir brauchen mehr Zusammenarbeit.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001401442"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/257026.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-14:07:33&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-14:09:44" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Michał Szczerba (PPE).</span></span> – Pani Przewodnicząca! Panie Komisarzu! Temat, o którym rozmawiamy jest bardzo istotnej wagi. Chodzi o przestępczość zorganizowaną, która stanowi poważne zagrożenie dla bezpieczeństwa wewnętrznego Unii Europejskiej. Polska, jej położenie na wschodniej granicy Unii Europejskiej czyni ją krajem tranzytowym i jest, tak powiem, bardzo silną przestrzenią dla przemytu, możliwego przemytu. Wojna hybrydowa na Białorusi wymierzona była w Unię, ale także w Polskę, i była doskonałym przykładem, jak zorganizowane grupy przestępcze korzystają na tego typu sytuacjach. Dlatego tak ważne jest, by wzmacniać szczelność naszych granic zewnętrznych i prowadzić kontrolę nad tym, kto wjeżdża do Unii Europejskiej.</p> <p class="contents">Ale jest drugi temat, o którym chciałbym, wysoki Parlamencie, rozmawiać, o którym chciałbym poinformować. Tym problemem jest korupcja. Dlatego absolutnie ważne jest, żeby Parlament Europejski 10. kadencji podjął razem z Radą, razem z Komisją działania na rzecz dyrektywy antykorupcyjnej. Polska prezydencja w Radzie Unii Europejskiej jest również szansą, szansą, żeby przyspieszyć te prace. Jesteśmy gotowi.

We have worked on the Commission's proposal since it was presented on 19 June.</p> <p class="contents">I am pleased to say that after careful reflection, the Council unanimously adopted its well-balanced position on 13 September. The Council's position provides an amount of EUR 191.5 billion in commitment appropriations and EUR 146.2 billion in payment appropriations, not including appropriations foreseen for special instruments outside the Multiannual Financial Framework.</p> <p class="contents">The Council undertook a detailed analysis of the commitment appropriations for each programme and action by budget line, in order to ensure accurate budgeting and support clearly set priorities. It also takes into consideration the consequences of Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine and related or other crises, including migration and border management, humanitarian aid and defence.</p> <p class="contents">The guiding principles of our position are the respect of prudent and realistic budgeting, the need to provide adequate resources for the key priorities in a balanced way throughout the MFF and the creation of sufficient margins under the ceilings to deal with unforeseen circumstances.</p> <p class="contents">Our position includes reinforcements for heading 4, which is migration and border management, heading 5, security and defence and heading 6, neighbourhood and the world, to strengthen key union priorities, support frontline Member States in the current geopolitical context and ensure a sufficient level of humanitarian aid is available in 2025, including for Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova.</p> <p class="contents">However, the Council's position also includes downward adjustments to headings 1 to 6, aiming at reducing certain lines with higher increases compared to the voted budget 2024. The objective is to mitigate the risks in terms of absorption capacity.</p> <p class="contents">Furthermore, the Council also reduced support expenditure as well as a few lines for decentralised agencies at cruising speed, which were increased by more than 2 % when compared to the voted budget 2024.</p> <p class="contents">In addition, a targeted adjustment is proposed for the European Union recovery instrument line under subheading 2b. Our approach with respect to the financing costs of NextGenerationEU is fully in line with the revised MFF regulation, but limits the use of special instruments to preserve sufficient amounts for unforeseen events, as well as for the future needs to cover the overrun interest costs, which are expected to be much larger at the end of the MFF period.</p> <p class="contents">As regards European public administration – heading 7 – the Council's position is limited to the creation of savings from expenditure related to buildings and allowances. Concerning payment appropriations, the Council proposes a downward correction proportionate to the adjustments in commitment appropriations. I look forward to your comments and the discussion. Thank you very much for your attention.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001405949"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif" align="right" width="50" height="63" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-14:15:49&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-14:21:12" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Johannes Hahn, </span></span> <span class="italic">Member of the Commission</span><span class="bold">.</span> – Madam President, honourable Members of the European Parliament, dear Secretary of State Banai, I really would like to congratulate the Hungarian Presidency for reaching an agreement in the Council on the draft budget 2025, and to thank Mr Banai for presenting it today.</p> <p class="contents">Of course, I will also defend the Commission's proposal. The draft budget is a balanced proposal to finance the 2025 budget, reflecting the agreement reached in the first ever mid-term revision of the MFF ceilings. This was undoubtedly a collective success, which has brought substantial additional funding for our key shared priorities. The Commission's proposal for the draft budget 2025 and the accompanying financial programming for 2026 and 2027 reflect this revision in full.</p> <p class="contents">Therefore, the draft budget 2025 also translates the difficult choices made in the context of the MFF revision, namely the redeployments in several programmes to finance the new priorities. The proposed cut by the Council by EUR 1.5 billion in commitments goes beyond the agreement reached on the MFF mid-term revision, and is neither necessary nor justified.</p> <p class="contents">In particular, the cuts of EUR 643 million in heading 1 – Single market, innovation and digital – are at odds with the shared objective to reinforce the Union's competitiveness and EU security when they concern programmes such as Horizon Europe, Safe Digital and Secure Connectivity. Concerning ITER, I think we should wait with possible cuts until we have the actual needs.</p> <p class="contents">On the EURI cascade, the Commission made a balanced proposal, which delivered on the agreed 50 % benchmark for Step 2 and without cuts for existing programmes. The amount will be reviewed in October in the remaining letter, when we will have a final view of the needs for the euro interest line, based on the actual disbursements by the end of the third quarter of this year.</p> <p class="contents">As regards heading 6, we welcome the Council support for the way in which we propose to implement the MFF mid-term revision through redeployments linked to the future decommitments. We take note of the adopted declaration and will continue reporting regularly on decommitments.</p> <p class="contents">As regards heading 7, we appreciate our positions are fairly close. This is a recognition of the efforts made by the Commission and all institutions. We will continue to make such efforts, even if it is clear that the administration will remain under substantial pressure.</p> <p class="contents">Allow me to underline that the Commission makes all efforts to respect stable staffing and to limit the increases on non-salary expenditures for all institutions. Yet without the mid-term review reinforcements we had asked for – in vain – on the basis of objective evidence, the mobilisation of the Single Margin Instrument to offset the impact of high inflation on the administrative expenditure of the institutions, this will remain unavoidable. We will update the exact needs in the autumn as we progress in negotiations.</p> <p class="contents">I would like to invite the Council and the European Parliament to consider that, on the one hand, there is no need to go far beyond the agreement on the MFF revision concerning the cuts. And on the other hand, we should maintain some room for manoeuvre for the challenges we already know are coming our way and for those that will come later. That is why we should refrain from proposing reinforcements far beyond the agreement on the MFF revision.</p> <p class="contents">The Commission's amending letter will revise, as appropriate, our proposals for the EURI interest line and on administrative expenditure. It will also include the usual update to agricultural expenditure. Following Parliament's hearing, we will send the usual executability letter as an input to the conciliation and, as always, we will do our best to facilitate the progress and reach a successful outcome on the budgetary files, ideally during this College mandate.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001405951"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/88882.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-14:21:16&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-14:25:41" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Victor Negrescu, </span></span> <span class="italic">rapporteur</span><span class="bold">.</span> – Madam President, Minister, Commissioner, colleagues, no – the proposal that the Council has made for next year's EU budget cannot be accepted as such. It is too far from what the European Parliament has requested to see in its guidelines earlier this year and it proposes severe cuts that go against what has been agreed in the recent revision of the multiannual financial framework.</p> <p class="contents">My role as rapporteur and negotiator on behalf of the European Parliament is to defend the role of our institution as a budgetary authority, but also to make sure that the annual budget addresses the priorities, which we have agreed together with the political groups.</p> <p class="contents">The recent European elections have sent a clear message that for more solidarity between Member States and more investment in policies and programmes, we need adequate financing and we need, of course, to use that financing in order to improve people's lives. This call cannot be translated into more budgetary cuts and a reduction in badly needed resources to help our people go through these difficult times. Prudent budgeting does not mean to block the financing of citizens' priorities. It does not mean rebates, and it certainly does not mean cutting programmes to finance high interest rates. We need to do more together and better, not less.</p> <p class="contents">Indeed, some errors have been made in the forecast, also by the Commission. It is up to us to find together the best solutions to the current challenges, but we still have a different perspective on how to reach that goal. To be clear, the Council proposes to cut commitment appropriations for next year by EUR 1.52 billion. This translates into a EUR 400 million cut for our research programme, Horizon Europe, and a EUR 110 million cut for the Connecting Europe Facility Digital. We also have cuts for the InvestEU Fund, Digital Europe Programme, the Single Market Programme, including SMEs, the Technical Support Instrument as well as for EU4Health.</p> <p class="contents">The Council proposed also a huge cut to Erasmus by EUR 294 million, which is our flagship programme for young people and education. We also see cuts in employment and social innovation, European Solidarity Corps, Creative Europe, Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values and our LIFE environmental programme. Even border protection is affected.</p> <p class="contents">These cuts go against what the Parliament has defended in its guidelines, meaning more investments and financial allocations for the programmes that improve people's lives. We also call upon the Commission to be clear on the negative impact of these measures and to act consistently in enabling us to reach a good outcome during the negotiations.</p> <p class="contents">Together with my colleagues from the Parliament, we prioritise programmes for health, education and youth, support for agriculture and farmers, the need to improve our infrastructure and have a fair, green and digital transition. Defending gender rights, protecting our values and making our fight against corruption more effective. Improving our action at the global level, in particular in our neighbourhood, both east and south: western Balkans, Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova. Protecting our borders and ensuring the functioning of the Schengen Area with Romania and Bulgaria joining the freedom of movement zone by land. We also call for a better coordination of our social security system to improve intra-European mobility.</p> <p class="contents">Last but not least, we understand the need for solidarity. In the context of the natural disasters that affect our continent, I call together with my colleagues upon the Commission and the Council to allocate additional financial means for all the instruments dealing with such crises, like the EU Civil Protection Mechanism or the EU Solidarity Fund, but also to prioritise investments that enable to reduce the impact of natural disasters. We are confident that the European Union, being based on solidarity, will find the resources for those affected by the floods.</p> <p class="contents">At the end, dear colleagues, I count on your support in establishing a strong budgetary position of the European Parliament.

You heard about it. Still, I would like to highlight some issues that are important for the European Parliament and for heading <span class="bold"></span>seven.</p> <p class="contents">As the rapporteur for the 2023 budget, I have strongly advocated for cybersecurity. And there was a tough discussion then, I remember it very well. It is clear from the requests and of the other institutions, as well as the Council's own budget, that it remains a pressing concern also in 2025. I believe cybersecurity should be addressed across all institutions in a spirit of cooperation, because we all have significant needs across the institutions. So I hope that we will have successful negotiations which will lead to the European Parliament and the other institutions acknowledging the critical importance of providing additional resources to covering cybersecurity needs. I think this is more important than ever, looking at the overall situation.</p> <p class="contents">We must provide our colleagues across institutions with adequate resources, and we consider ourselves as a Parliament to be the advocate of the other institutions as well. This is our part in this procedure. Both Council and Parliament have agreed to give them, sufficient means to protect the interests of Europeans. This is why I have to point out that stable staffing is a very good idea, but has in some institutions reached its limit.</p> <p class="contents">There is an urge to extend for the institutions, especially smaller ones, such as the EDPS. They face severe staff shortages compared to their workload. And of course, if we give them new tasks, we have to also give them the adequate resources.</p> <p class="contents">Also, we cannot allow our colleagues to struggle with security issues, as the EEAS, for example, does while being located in the remote areas of this world. So we must fulfil the security needs to prevent any accidents. Or let me just rather say, incidents. We should not wait for this to happen.</p> <p class="contents">Another critical issue is that the staff situation in Luxembourg must be finally changed. We've been talking a lot about this issue. It has been known for years and extensive conversations among institutions already took place. So Luxembourg institutions must have enough housing allowance to attract qualified staff and work properly for the future of the European Union.</p> <p class="contents">Still, I have to seize the opportunity and stress that we did not take into account the shortcomings of heading seven in the MFF provisions, and we are now having a very difficult situation because of that. Nevertheless, still, I am confident that we budgetary, responsible institutions can work together in the coming months in order to reach a satisfactory result for all institutions and as a result, for the EU citizens. And if we can't save money, at least we can save some time, at least 10 seconds.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001405955"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif" align="right" width="50" height="63" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-14:28:53&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-14:31:55" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Johan Van Overtveldt, </span></span> <span class="italic">voorzitter van de commissie BUDG</span><span class="bold">.</span> – Voorzitter, commissaris, staatssecretaris, collega’s, de rapporteurs zijn al vrij gedetailleerd ingegaan op de verschillende onderdelen van de begroting voor het komende jaar en hebben ook een eerste beoordeling van het standpunt van de Raad gegeven, dus ik ga daar niet verder op in.</p> <p class="contents">Het is nu aan ons om verantwoordelijkheid op te nemen met een verantwoorde begroting die bewijst dat gerichte Europese uitgaven wel degelijk een toegevoegde waarde hebben in functie van onze burgers en hun welvaart. Ik vertel u niets nieuws wanneer ik zeg dat de omgeving waarin we zitten helaas is wat ze is en eerder verder dreigt te verslechteren dan te verbeteren.</p> <p class="contents">We kunnen uiteraard niet voorbijgaan aan het Draghi-verslag, dat een imposante competitiviteitsagenda oplegt en spreekt over investeringsnoden op jaarbasis van 700 tot 800 miljard, en dit voor de verdere uitrol van de reeds overeengekomen EU‑doelstellingen. Iedereen die de budgettaire toestand van de lidstaten een beetje kent en weet hoe Europese compromissen tot stand komen, weet dat een dergelijke inspanning niet meteen zal kunnen geleverd worden.</p> <p class="contents">Ik daag u daarom allemaal uit om de fixatie op deze cijfers even achterwege te laten en te kijken naar wat we meteen kunnen doen om de kwaliteit van de huidige regelgeving en van de uitgavenstroom te verbeteren. Een van de meest opvallende passages in het Draghi‑verslag is die waar hij vaststelt dat Europa vier keer zoveel reglementeringen uitvaardigt als de Verenigde Staten. Dat is natuurlijk pure waanzin. Die regeldruk en de daarmee gepaard gaande rapporteringsverplichtingen halen het investeringsklimaat compleet onderuit.</p> <p class="contents">Ik hoop dat we er allemaal van overtuigd raken dat wat wij hier binnen de Europese instellingen — Commissie, Raad en Parlement — ook beslissen of doen, het nooit zal lukken om die investeringsstroom tot stand te brengen zolang we er niet in slagen om private investeringen los te weken. We zullen dus onze verantwoordelijkheid moeten nemen op budgettair niveau en de rentabiliteit van private investeringen moeten optrekken. Dat betekent ook een aanzienlijke verantwoordelijkheid voor de individuele lidstaten, want een aantal verantwoordelijkheden zit nog altijd daar.

And let me start by answering some critics which were raised by Commissioner Hahn, rapporteur Mr Negrescu, the Chair Mr Van Overtveldt, and it was mentioned by the rapporteur Mr Herbst as well, and that is the cuts of some appropriations.</p> <p class="contents">First of all I would like to emphasise that when we are discussing the EU budget, I think we could not ignore the general economic situation in Europe, which unfortunately shows an almost stagnating European economy.</p> <p class="contents">While on the one hand, today all the Member States and the European institutions as well have to pay much more for debt financing than before Covid or even 2 or 3 years ago. And this is the situation in the case of financing NextGenerationEU as well.</p> <p class="contents">On the other hand, after the temporary relief due to Covid, the renewed economic governance rules have to be applied from now. This means that Member States are now working on serious consolidation of their own national budgets, as the majority of them has bigger debt level than 60 % of GDP, or bigger deficit than 3 % of GDP, or both.</p> <p class="contents">The consequences of these processes that only a very prudent approach could be applied for the EU budget as well. And the Council used this approach when deciding unanimously on its position.</p> <p class="contents">On a positive side. I would like to highlight that the Council has already made some steps towards the European Parliament by increasing several budget lines compared to the Commission's proposal. This the honourable Members of the Parliament generally consider as a priority.</p> <p class="contents">Furthermore, even if the Council applied a prudent approach, I have to stress that the Council's position is still increasing both commitments and payments in the 2025 budget compared to the 2024 level. Again, in these times of budgetary consolidation, they are increasing and not decreasing the overall size of the EU budget for 2025, both as regards commitments and payments.</p> <p class="contents">Today's debate has shown that even though we have different views on specific points, our goal is a common one, to establish a robust EU budget for 2025. I will now await the European Parliament's position on the budget for 2025, with the hope that it will not be too far apart so we can reach a final agreement in November, as mentioned by Mr Hahn.</p> <p class="contents">We hope that we can count on the Commission to act as an honest broker to bridge the gap between our positions and to propose balanced compromise solutions. A smooth and successful negotiation would show citizens that the Union works well, and can provide a budget that meets their needs in these challenging times. Such a budget must be in line with the general economic and budgetary circumstances, and must find the right balance between various political priorities, acknowledging that in budget negotiations, not everything can be a priority. I am confident that together we can provide it in a timely manner.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001405958"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/197433.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-14:35:52&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-14:39:32" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Die Präsidentin.</span></span> – Die Aussprache ist geschlossen.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr></table></td></tr></table><br /><a name="title12"></a><a name="creitem12"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="doc_box_header" style="padding-bottom:5px"><tr valign="top"><td> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"><tr valign="top" style="padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:5px;padding-right:5px;padding-top:5px"><td align="left" style="background-image:url(/doceo/data/img/gradient_blue.gif)" class="doc_title"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_title_doc.gif" width="8" height="14" border="0" align="absmiddle" alt="" /> 9.

In July, it was extended to citizens of Belarus, Russia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Moldova, Montenegro and North Macedonia. In short, it is now open, on the one hand, to six candidate Member States of the EU, and, on the other hand, to two states hostile to the European Union. That, of course, raises questions, especially because of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, to protect our security, we have been making it harder, not easier, for Russian nationals to enter the European Union.</p> <p class="contents">We suspended visa facilitation with Russia. We issued guidelines to Member States for stricter visa rules and intensive additional scrutiny of Russian nationals at the EU borders. Visas for Russian citizens have dropped by nearly 90 %. We are now currently looking into the implementation by Member States of these guidelines to see if we need further action. We were right to introduce stringent measures, and this is demonstrated by the increasing reports of suspected Russian espionage and sabotage from many Member States.</p> <p class="contents">The exchange this summer of Russian spies and criminals for dissidents and Western journalists illustrates how far Russia is willing to go to infiltrate us. The most striking case: a couple who had been living undercover as sleeper agents. In recent weeks, national intelligence services (Swedish, Norwegian) have warned that the risk of Russian sabotage is on the rise. At a time like this, making it easier for citizens of two hostile states to enter the EU raises serious questions.</p> <p class="contents">That's why Commissioner Johansson asked Hungary for an explanation. On 1 August, she sent her first letter to the Hungarian Minister of the Interior, reminding Hungary of the need for enhanced scrutiny and vigilance regarding Russian nationals and asking a series of questions. We received a reply on 21 August and two key questions remain.</p> <p class="contents">First, why does the Hungarian Government consider it necessary or appropriate to give Russians easy access to the EU in the current political situation? Why can these workers not be found in the EU or through partnership with other cooperative third countries? Second, it appears that the checks on Russian citizens are no different than those for other nationalities, despite the increased risk. It's unclear how the additional security risks posed by Russian citizens are taken into account when assessing their application for the national cards.</p> <p class="contents">Two weeks ago, the Commissioner sent a second letter to the Hungarian authorities to ask precisely this question. Last week, Commissioner Johansson and the Hungarian Minister of the Interior spoke about this issue, and he provided some clarifications. The Commission is now waiting for the written explanations.</p> <p class="contents">Honourable Members, Belarus and Russia threaten the security of the EU: instrumentalisation of migrants, disinformation, infiltration, sabotage and espionage.

E é particularmente difícil porque ainda vivemos a invasão do território da Ucrânia por parte da Rússia.</p> <p class="contents">Por conseguinte, neste quadro, a recente decisão das autoridades húngaras de facilitação do acesso da Rússia e da Bielorrússia ao espaço Schengen, imediatamente após a visita do primeiro-ministro Viktor Orbán a Moscovo, é perigosa, preocupante e contraria os princípios de cooperação a que todos os Estados-Membros da União Europeia estão obrigados.</p> <p class="contents">Há mais de dez anos, assistimos, com alguma perplexidade aos atropelos que a Hungria tem vindo a fazer ao Estado de direito e ao respeito pelos direitos humanos. A decisão de facilitação de vistos que é apresentada, quando, em paralelo, as autoridades húngaras decidiram retirar o direito à habitação a refugiados ucranianos, não deixa de ser extraordinária e difícil de compreender. É verdadeiramente um claro exemplo de profunda falta de humanismo e de solidariedade.</p> <p class="contents">Mas, no que ao «cartão nacional» da Hungria diz respeito, bem como à simplificação dos procedimentos para a obtenção de vistos para «trabalhadores convidados» vindos da Rússia e da Bielorrússia, devemos atentar nas palavras da comissária Johansson, mas também naquilo que foi, agora mesmo, aqui dito: «A Rússia é uma ameaça à segurança. Precisamos de mais e não de menos vigilância. Permitir que os potenciais espiões ou sabotadores russos tenham acesso [livre] ao espaço da União Europeia compromet[e] a segurança de todos nós.»</p> <p class="contents">É disto que estamos a falar e é esta a explicação que o governo húngaro deve dar. O seu «cartão nacional» pode pôr em causa o quadro coletivo vigente desde a invasão da Ucrânia, com a suspensão, no verão de 2022, do acordo sobre a facilitação da emissão de vistos com a Rússia e a intensificação do controlo de futuros pedidos.</p> <p class="contents">Gostaria, assim, Caros Colegas, Senhora Presidente, Senhora Representante da Comissão, de instar o próximo colégio de comissários a prosseguir os esforços da comissária Johansson, que ainda a semana passada garantiu – e ainda hoje ouvimos esta garantia – que a Comissão continuará a avaliar, de muito perto, o comportamento da Hungria neste âmbito e a aplicar medidas que garantam a segurança da União Europeia e de todos os seus cidadãos.</p> <p class="contents">Não é fácil este debate porque não devemos tomar um Estado-Membro como um todo.

The same applies when it comes to visas issued to Russian citizens.

Zero. In 2023, France issued 99 517 visas to Russian citizens. Do you know how many debates were held in the European Parliament? Zero. In 2023, Spain issued 92 414 visas to Russian citizens. Do you know how many debates there were in the European Parliament? Zero. In 2023, Greece issued 54 289 visas to Russian citizens. Do you know how many debates there were in the European Parliament? Zero.</p> <p class="contents">On 1 January 2023, there were 711 035 Russian citizens legally residing in the European Union. Of those, 259 517 in Germany. Out of those more than 700 000 Russians in the EU, do you know how many reside in Hungary? Anyone? No? Less than 1% – less than 1%! In the national card scheme in July, Hungary issued a total of five permits to Russian citizens. In August? Five permits. And yet, this is already the second time we're debating this on the European Parliament's agenda – first in the LIBE Committee, now here in the plenary. These are the facts.

Szanowni Państwo! Nie ulega wątpliwości, że należy z całą mocą sprzeciwić się wszelkim ułatwieniom wjazdu obywateli Federacji Rosyjskiej do Unii Europejskiej. Nie popieramy tych rozwiązań ani na poziomie krajów członkowskich, ani na poziomie Komisji Europejskiej. Dlatego nie zgadzamy się także, aby Komisja Europejska wprowadzała jakiekolwiek ułatwienia dla Rosjan. A tak należy traktować projektowane przepisy kodeksu wizowego, które znoszą wymóg okazywania książeczek wojskowych dla Rosjan ubiegających się o wizę Schengen. Książeczki wojskowe w Rosji to niezwykle istotne dokumenty. Na ich podstawie nasze służby mogą identyfikować, czy ubiegający się o wizę nie ma w swoim dossier służby w armii Putina. Nikt z nas chyba nie życzy sobie, żeby Unia Europejska gościła morderców z Buczy czy z Irpienia albo weteranów grupy Wagnera odpowiedzialnych za mordy w Mali czy w Syrii.</p> <p class="contents">Nie widzicie potwornej sprzeczności w tym, że Parlament Europejski krytykuje Węgrów za politykę wizową, a w tym samym czasie Komisja Europejska przygotowuje ułatwienia wizowe dla Rosjan, w tym także morderców ludności cywilnej? Ze zdumieniem przyjmuję te rozwiązania, zarówno węgierskie, jak i Komisji Europejskiej. I apeluję: wycofajcie się z nich. Nie wolno nam traktować Rosjan, Rosji i Putina w pobłażliwy sposób. Rosja Putina niestety przy wsparciu większości społeczeństwa rosyjskiego rozpętała krwawą wojnę z Ukrainą, największą wojnę w Europie od 1945 r. Rosja celowo destabilizuje granice zewnętrzne Unii Europejskiej, prowadzi na co dzień wojnę hybrydową z Polską, Litwą, Łotwą czy Finlandią. Wysyła do Europy dziesiątki tysięcy nielegalnych migrantów, dokonuje codziennych cyberataków na państwa europejskie, dopuszcza się licznych aktów sabotażu.</p> <p class="contents">Dlatego niezbędne jest nie łagodzenie, ale zaostrzenie polityki sankcyjnej Unii Europejskiej wobec Rosji w każdym wymiarze, także wizowym. Rosja Putina musi być poddana bezwzględnej izolacji. Może wówczas Rosjanie zrozumieją, że należy skończyć z Putinem i polityką mocarstwową.</p> <p class="contents">I jeszcze jedna refleksja. Musimy sobie zdać sprawę, że na tej sali znajduje się wiele osób, dzięki którym Putin mógł zaatakować Ukrainę. To ci, którzy zapewniali Putinowi finansową kroplówkę. To ci, którzy pozwolili Putinowi na prowadzenie polityki szantażu energetycznego. To ci, którzy udawali, że nie widzą, jak Rosja Putina za pieniądze z paliw kopalnych buduje swoją agresywną mocarstwowość. To ci, którzy wbrew interesom całej Europy forsowali budowę Nord Stream. Mówię to głównie do posłów z Niemiec i ich przyjaciół politycznych. Posypcie sobie głowy popiołem. Krew ginących i mordowanych w Ukrainie obciąża także wasze sumienia.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001405974"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/22858.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-14:57:52&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-14:59:40" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Fabienne Keller, </span></span> <span class="italic">au nom du groupe Renew</span><span class="bold">.</span> – Madame la Présidente, Madame la Commissaire, Monsieur le Ministre, le 5 juillet dernier, lorsqu'il s'est rendu à Moscou, le Premier ministre Viktor Orban n'est pas allé en prétendue mission de paix.

Of course, this falls under the national competences of the Member States, and a ban on certain nationalities would be discriminatory and run counter to the Treaties. But in the current geopolitical context, with Orbán's close relationship to Putin, this decree is far from innocent: it is a provocation and yet another blatant example of Orbán favouring his ties with Russia over sincere cooperation with the EU and with the Member States. So in any case, at least it's key that the Commission insist on thorough security checks.</p> <p class="contents">But in all fairness, the EU cannot pretend to be surprised by this. For so long, the EU has shown far too little teeth in response to Orbán's all-out destruction of the rule of law. The Commission has been hesitant in launching legal actions and has prematurely unfrozen funding. The Article 7procedure has withered in the Council, and we have let this crisis fester and fester, weakening the core strength of the EU, namely its common values. To the extent that now, the external security threat is infiltrating our own community.</p> <p class="contents">How much more existential does the threat of Hungary's rule of law crisis need to be before we say 'enough is enough'? I would say enough alarm bells have rung now, and the national card scheme is certainly not the only provocative decree adopted by Hungary. Right after his visit to Kiev, Orbán decided to revoke the housing rights of Ukrainian refugees from so-called 'non-fighting areas', including families with children. They have been evicted this summer, left out on the street in blatant violation of the Temporary Protection Directive.</p> <p class="contents">And yet the Commission has remained completely silent on this. The EU has solemnly vowed to stand with Ukraine and with its citizens. Where is that solidarity now? What message are we sending to Ukrainian refugees, to the world and also to the other Member States if we let this slide? So I urge the Commission to immediately act against this violation and to uphold the harmonised protection standards. We must treasure and defend unanimous solidarity and support of the EU for Ukrainian refugees. We must put our money where our mouth is.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001405978"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/2268.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-15:02:57&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-15:05:38" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Jonas Sjöstedt, </span></span> <span class="italic">för The Left gruppen</span><span class="bold">.</span> – Fru talman!

Russia launched a brutal war of aggression against a sovereign country, targeting civilians with bombs, attacking critical infrastructure on a day-to-day basis. Both inside and outside the European Union, we see hybrid warfare being displayed, aggressing our very own citizens and resilience.</p> <p class="contents">In the last month only, we witnessed numerous incidents of sabotage across Europe, followed the Russian shadow fleet on the way around critical maritime infrastructure, and detected highly sophisticated social media campaigns, fuelling populism and radicalisation. Why is it of importance for today's debate?</p> <p class="contents">Because the Hungarian Presidency itself and its programmes have to work on a secure Europe ready to defend itself, which somehow in declaration is a stark contrast to the latest initiative.

Oikeusvaltiorikkomukset näyttävät jatkuvan, unionin ulkopoliittisia päätöksiä estetään, Ukrainan tukemista vaikeutetaan ja nyt viimeisimpänä Venäjän ja Valko-Venäjän kansalaisille suunnatut nopeat Schengen-viisumit. Tämä tapahtuu samalla, kun Venäjä jatkaa hyökkäyssotaansa Ukrainassa, kohdistaa unionin jäsenmaita kohtaan hybridioperaatioita, kuten olemme myös EU:n itärajalla nähneet.</p> <p class="contents">Vapaa liikkuvuus on suuria eurooppalaisen yhteistyön saavutuksia. Se hyödyttää päivittäin satojatuhansia, miljoonia kansalaisia ja myös eurooppalaista yritystoimintaa.

Tämän vuoden moniin kummallisiin tapahtumiin liittyy epäilys venäläisestä vaikuttamisesta ja järjestäytyneiden yhteiskuntien horjuttamisesta. On murtautumisia tärkeiden kohteiden lähelle, droonilennätyksiä ja suoranaisia väkivallantekoja.</p> <p class="contents">Riskit eivät siis ole vähentyneet vaan lisääntyneet. Siksi ydinkysymys on, että Unkarin täytyy tehdä turvallisuusarviot myöntäessään viisumeita. Ei kysymys ole lukumääristä, vaan siitä, että riskit arvioidaan ja muut jäsenmaat voivat luottaa siihen, että Unkarin kautta tulevat kansalaiset ovat tarkistettuja eivätkä muodosta uhkaa muiden EU-maiden kansalaisille.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001405994"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/256872.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-15:15:16&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-15:18:11" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Fabrice Leggeri (PfE).</span></span> – Madame la Présidente, Madame la Commissaire, le permis de séjour et de travail mis en place par la Hongrie pour attirer la main-d'œuvre étrangère de l'extérieur de l'Union européenne suscite un débat aujourd'hui. Or, ce débat montre la duplicité de la Commission européenne et de certains groupes politiques lorsqu'on parle de l'immigration et de la sécurité des frontières extérieures de l'espace Schengen.</p> <p class="contents">En commission parlementaire LIBE, il y a quelques jours, la Commission a admis que le système hongrois était techniquement conforme au droit de l'Union européenne et dans ce contexte, Mme la commissaire Ylva Johansson a répété plusieurs fois que la question, pour elle, était celle de la confiance que l'on pouvait accorder ou non aux autorités hongroises. Cette question de la confiance est éminemment politique.</p> <p class="contents">Alors je la retourne à la Commission pour savoir si nous pouvons lui faire confiance. Pendant des années, la Commission de Mme von der Leyen et Mme Johansson nous ont expliqué avec la gauche, le centre et leurs amis des ONG, que les migrants qui franchissent illégalement les frontières extérieures de l'Union européenne ne doivent pas être empêchés de poser le pied sur notre territoire, alors même qu'en agissant ainsi, ces migrants violent la loi européenne. Le fait d'empêcher les migrants de violer les frontières de l'Union européenne constituait, selon Mme Johansson et ses amis politiques, je cite, des «push back». Des centaines de milliers de migrants sont entrés chaque année illégalement en Europe durant les cinq dernières années à cause de votre idéologie qui veut nous faire croire, je cite les amis de certaines ONG, que «les migrants ont un droit inconditionnel à poser le pied en Europe».</p> <p class="contents">Cette idéologie, votre idéologie à la Commission européenne, menace la sécurité des Européens car ces franchissements illégaux laissent entrer des migrants trop souvent impliqués dans des actes criminels et parfois, hélas, impliqués dans des actes terroristes contre nos citoyens. Alors je pose la question: qui a préféré faire prévaloir l'intérêt des clandestins contre l'intérêt des Européens et contre la sécurité nationale de nos États? C'est la Commission de Mme von der Leyen et Mme la commissaire Johansson. D'ailleurs, elle l'a reconnu le jour de l'adoption du pacte sur l'asile et la migration en déclarant que c'était une victoire pour les migrants. Mais les Européens ont désavoué dans les urnes votre politique de soutien aux migrants clandestins.</p> <p class="contents">Alors non, nous ne pouvons pas faire confiance à la Commission von der Leyen sortante et non, nous ne pouvons pas davantage faire confiance à la nouvelle Commission von der Leyen qui arrive.

Viele von Ihnen haben es vielleicht noch gar nicht mitbekommen, aber Viktor Orbán hat noch immer nicht bezahlt; letzte Nacht um Mitternacht ist die Zahlungsfrist abgelaufen. Die ungarische Regierung schuldet der Europäischen Union 200 Millionen Euro, und jeden Tag wird es jetzt noch 1 Million mehr, weil die ungarische Regierung das Gesetz bricht, weil sie das EU‑Recht missachtet und das Urteil des EuGH, weil sie denjenigen, die Schutz suchen vor Krieg und Verfolgung, systematisch diesen Schutz verwehrt.</p> <p class="contents">Viktor Orbán geriert sich ja oft gerne als der starke Mann, der die Grenzen schützt, aber es gibt eben zwei Viktor Orbáns. Es gibt den Grenzen-dicht–Stacheldraht‑Orbán, und es gibt den Herzlich-willkommen-in-Ungarn‑Orbán. Denn bei einer Art von Migration scheint er sehr offen zu sein, also dann, wenn es um Menschen geht, die aus Russland oder Belarus kommen, und mit dieser nationalen Karte öffnet er Tür und Tor für Spione und Saboteure in die Europäische Union. Er untergräbt die Geschlossenheit der EU gegenüber den Kriegsverbrechern im Kreml, und er gefährdet unser aller Sicherheit, weil er gemeinsame Sache macht mit Putin – hier bei den Visa, aber wir sehen es eben an vielen anderen Stellen auch. Er missbraucht sein Veto für Putin, und sie klauen zusammen Geld. Was schweißt schon besser zusammen als gemeinsam Geld zu klauen.</p> <p class="contents">Bei Orbán geht es eigentlich immer ums Geld, am liebsten natürlich um unser EU‑Geld. An seiner Putin‑Liebe können wir wahrscheinlich nicht viel machen; wir sollten allerdings vorantreiben, ihm sein Veto zu entziehen, mit dem Artikel 7. Beim Geld haben wir noch mehr Spielraum. Da sollte die Kommission endlich in die Wege leiten, nicht nur Teile der EU‑Gelder einzufrieren, sondern alle EU‑Gelder, weil alle von Korruption bedroht sind.</p> <p class="contents">Wir sollten nicht länger besorgte Briefe schreiben, sondern wirklich agieren, bis der Rechtsstaat wieder funktioniert, bis EU‑Recht wieder durchgesetzt wird in Ungarn, und bis wir sicher sein können, dass keine russischen Spione oder Saboteure über Ungarn in die Europäische Union kommen.</p> <p class="contents"><span class="italic">(Der Redner ist damit einverstanden, auf mehrere Fragen nach dem Verfahren der „blauen Karte“ zu antworten.)</span></p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001406002"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/249982.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-15:23:28&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-15:24:12" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Milan Mazurek (NI), </span></span> <span class="italic">otázka položená zdvihnutím modrej karty</span><span class="bold">.</span> – Pán kolega, vy sa naozaj počúvate?

Prime Minister Orbán visits Putin on 5 July, which was in itself already a blatant violation of the EU's Treaties and our common foreign policy. In more or less the same week, all of a sudden, Orbán makes it a lot easier for Russian citizens to come to Hungary and, by extension, the EU and our Schengen zone. Less stringent security checks, more favourable conditions. What a coincidence.</p> <p class="contents">And at a time when, as the Commission rightly said, we see more and more reports of Russian sabotage and espionage coming from our Member States when we have a collective effort to reduce the number of Russian visas by 90 %, we have one Member State that opens the back door. What a coincidence. And of course, the Hungarian Government claims that these decisions were made on the basis of labour market and competitiveness considerations, but they fail to give any kind of justification for this. Even in the answers of the Minister they now claim that it's not such an attractive scheme, not many applicants will actually be there. So which one is it?</p> <p class="contents">It is a good attempt to defend the indefensible, because when you look through the Hungarian fog, you can see it very clearly. This is a gift from Orbán to Putin and a middle finger to the rest of the EU. And it's putting the EU's policy against Russia since the start of Putin's war of aggression at risk, and it is a direct sabotage to all the work we do, while putting the security and the integrity of the whole Schengen area at risk. We cannot accept this. The Commission cannot accept this. We must act and we must act now.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001406016"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/96932.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-15:31:36&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-15:33:57" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Birgit Sippel (S&amp;D).</span></span> – Frau Präsidentin! Es geht mal wieder um Orbán – heute zur Abwechslung aber nicht, weil wir Ungarns Verstöße gegen die Rechtsstaatlichkeit besprechen, und auch nicht, weil der Europäische Gerichtshof Orbáns Regierung mal wieder wegen ihrer rechtswidrigen Migrationspolitik verurteilt hat. Nein, heute reden wir darüber, dass Europas selbsterklärter Migrationsfeind Nummer eins unbedingt Einwanderung ermöglichen und erleichtern möchte. Klingt komisch? Offenbar braucht aber auch Ungarn wie viele andere Mitgliedstaaten Zuwanderung und das sogar in zunehmend größerer Zahl, weshalb legale Einwanderungsmöglichkeiten für Menschen aus verschiedenen Ländern geschaffen wurden. Aber geht es tatsächlich nur darum?</p> <p class="contents">Anscheinend ist es Orbán ja ein wichtiges Anliegen, legale Einwanderungsmöglichkeiten auch für russische und belarussische Staatsangehörige zu erleichtern, und 14 solcher Aufenthaltstitel wurden laut ungarischer Regierung seit Juli ausgehändigt.

Ha Magyarországra jössz, akkor nem veheted el a magyarok munkáját, hirdették pár évvel ezelőtt a menekültellenes kormányzati óriásplakátok a magyar utcákon. Az elmúlt pár évben az Orbán-kormány már a bevándorlás egyik európai központjává tette Magyarországot. A magyar miniszterelnök mindig határvédelemről papol, de a valóságban egymás után gyártja a kiskapukat az EU-ba igyekvőknek, valódi nemzetbiztonsági átvilágítás nélkül. Itt már nem vendégmunkáról beszélünk, nem migrációról beszélünk, hanem egy súlyos biztonsági kockázatról.</p> <p class="contents">A magyar kormány mások mellett orosz és fehérorosz kémek, alvó ügynökök és háborús bűnösök előtt nyitotta meg az Európai Unió kapuit. Megvolt persze ennek az előzménye Orbán rendszerében. Először letelepedési kötvénnyel jöhetett bárki, aki fizetett érte. Aztán most jön, amiről beszélünk éppen, a nemzeti kártya, amivel szintén bárki beléphet Magyarország vagy az Európai Unió területére, csak egy munkaviszonyt kell hozzá lepapíroznia. Ez volt a második módszer, de tudják, nincs ennek vége. Önök még nem hallhattak róla, de jön egy harmadik felvonás, az aranyvízum. Ehhez is csak pénz kell majd a Magyarországon vagy az Európai Unión belüli tartózkodáshoz. Csak ezúttal majd nem kötvényt kell vásárolni a tartózkodásért, hanem ingatlant vagy ingatlanalapot, akár a miniszterelnök vejétől. Vagyis az történik, ami Magyarországon szokott lenni: Putyin szolgálata korrupcióval is társul.</p> <p class="contents">Jogos ez a félelem. Akiket a magyar kormány akár a nemzeti kártyával, akár az aranyvízummal beenged Magyarországra, azok előtt szabad az út Berlinig, Rómáig, Párizsig, Madridig, bármeddig az Európai Unión belül. Legyen világos: ha ma Magyarországon, ha bárhol Európában biztonsági rés van az EU-ban, akkor azt úgy hívják, hogy Orbán Viktor. Nem kell ehhez még vétóznia sem.

Fru kommissionär! Viktor Orbán har gång på gång utmanat EU genom sina politiska beslut. Han har blint ignorerat våra grundläggande principer och öppet visat sin roll som Putins megafon och lilla springpojke i rådet och i EU. Han har tydligt visat sitt förakt för allt vad EU står för.</p> <p class="contents">Men duktig har han varit på att ta våra skattebetalares pengar till sina suspekta projekt. Genom att öppna dörrarna för ryssar och belaruser, genom att hota instrumentaliseringen av ukrainska flyktingars situation bryter Viktor Orbán mot Schengens syften och principer och framför allt principen om den fria rörligheten för våra medborgare. Det är oacceptabelt och direkt farligt.</p> <p class="contents">Detta är ett agerande av ren laglöshet som underminerar det vi i det här huset står för, det våra medborgare röstade för precis nu i det här sista valet till Europaparlamentet. Orbáns handlingar skapar en splittring inom EU och minskar förtroendet medlemsstater emellan och förtroendet för Schengen. Det är viktigt att vi står enade, att vi fortsatt skyddar principerna som det här samarbetet vilar på. Det är viktigt att vi skyddar både Schengensystemet, våra principer om solidaritet och vårt samarbete.</p> <p class="contents">Men viktigast av allt är att lyfta den här frågan så att ungerska medborgare får höra att det här pågår i deras land. För de vet inte att det är de som kommer att drabbas av detta. Det är viktigt att ställa Viktor Orbán till svars nu.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001410647"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/256941.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-15:56:37&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-15:58:52" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Alexander Jungbluth (ESN).</span></span> – Herr Präsident, werte Kollegen! Es ist wenig überraschend, dass die üblichen Verdächtigen sich über die neue <span class="italic">national card</span> in Ungarn echauffieren. Sie täten aber besser daran, wenn sie sich einmal mit den Hintergründen beschäftigen würden und ein wenig Selbstkritik an den Tag legen, statt umgehend in Schnappatmung zu verfallen. Grundsätzlich ist diese <span class="italic">national</span> <span class="italic"></span><span class="italic">card</span> nichts anderes als ein Visum, mit durchaus weitreichenden Möglichkeiten, wie einem Familiennachzug oder einer dauerhaften Aufenthaltsgenehmigung – also nichts anderes als das, was die EU jedem zugutekommen lässt, der hier illegal einreist und Asyl beantragt.</p> <p class="contents">Der entscheidende Unterschied ist, dass das in Ungarn nur für Personen gilt, die verschiedene Nachweise erbringen, wie eine Arbeitsstelle oder eine Krankenversicherung, und die aus acht verschiedenen Ländern aus einem ähnlichen Kulturkreis stammen. Eine dauerhafte Aufenthaltsgenehmigung gibt es nur, wenn man drei Jahre Steuern gezahlt hat, und nicht wie beispielsweise in Deutschland, weil man eben schon lange da ist.</p> <p class="contents">Der Aufschrei ist auch deshalb so groß, weil auch Russland und Weißrussland zu diesen acht Ländern zählen. Viele der 770 000 russischen Staatsbürger in der EU leben dank langer Migrationsgeschichte in Deutschland, sind fleißig, bestens integriert und ein wertvoller Bestandteil für unsere Gesellschaft. Im Gegensatz zu den üblichen Asylherkunftsländern fallen sie nicht dadurch auf, dass sie andere abstechen oder unsere Frauen und Töchter vergewaltigen. Und letztere empfängt man trotzdem weiterhin mit offenen Armen und vor allem mit offenem Geldbeutel.</p> <p class="contents">Statt jetzt eine große Gefahr heraufzubeschwören, sollte sich die EU lieber fragen, wieso einzelne Mitgliedstaaten mit derartigen Maßnahmen reagieren. Die Antwort ist offensichtlich: Die EU-Migrationspolitik zieht ganz bewusst unqualifizierte Kulturfremde an, die unseren Sozialstaat belasten, die innere Sicherheit erodieren lassen und unsere Länder langfristig zerstören. Dass Ungarn nun gezielt kulturnahe Arbeitsmigration fördert, ist also einzig und allein dem Totalversagen dieser EU geschuldet.</p> <p class="contents"><span class="italic">(Der Redner ist damit einverstanden, auf eine Frage nach dem Verfahren der „blauen Karte“ zu antworten.)</span></p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001410649"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/197400.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-15:59:17&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-16:00:08" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Abir Al-Sahlani (Renew), </span></span> <span class="italic">blue-card question</span><span class="bold">.</span> – I would like to ask my esteemed colleague.

Cela constitue sans nul doute un risque pour la sécurité de l'Union européenne dans la situation actuelle de la guerre menée par la Russie contre l'Ukraine.

Viktor Orban se permet en plus d'aller rendre visite à Vladimir Poutine à Moscou. Et ce alors même que la Hongrie occupe la présidence de l'Union européenne. Cela est tout à fait inacceptable.</p> <p class="contents">Pour en revenir aux visas, il est impératif qu'ils soient uniquement délivrés en respectant un cadre de sécurité effectif qui tienne également compte de l'attitude hostile de certains pays, dont la Russie et la Biélorussie. Ceci doit aussi être respecté par la Hongrie. Cette sécurité est en effet impérative si nous voulons continuer à profiter de l'ouverture de nos frontières intérieures, un acquis majeur pour nos citoyens.

El primero, el riesgo de elusión de las medidas restrictivas que tanto nos ha costado adoptar y poner en marcha y de las sanciones contra Rusia y Bielorrusia después de la guerra de agresión de Putin contra Ucrania.

To, čo robí Viktor Orbán Európskej únii, nie je nič, len provokácia. Cesty do Moskvy, do Číny, stretnutia s Trumpom, blokovanie pomoci Ukrajine, a ani príklad maďarskej národnej karty, teda zjednodušenia vydávania schengenských víz pre Rusov a Bielorusov, nie je o ničom inom.</p> <p class="contents">Ak by mali diktátori ako Putin v Európskej únii Trójskeho koňa inak ako premiér Orbán by sa nesprával. Nedajme sa teda zmiasť, kolegovia a kolegyne. Ak si myslíme, že tento maďarský systém Rusko a jeho tajné služby nevyužijú, tak sme asi naivní. Viaceré z našich členských krajín majú s týmito operáciami Kremľa skúsenosti. Má s nimi skúsenosti aj moja krajina Slovensko. A preto sa, samozrejme, musíme pýtať, či národnou kartou nie je ohrozená naša celoeurópska bezpečnosť, pretože o tú tu ide. Maďarsko podobnými aktivitami podrýva Schengen a ohrozuje tak svoje vlastné členstvo v ňom.</p> <p class="contents">A mne je vlastne ľúto, že ak táto situácia eskaluje, tak to ohrozí bežných Maďarov, Maďarky, ale aj ostatných bežných ľudí, ktorí žijú v prihraničných oblastiach, napríklad aj na Slovensku. Opäť si to teda odnesú ľudia. Občania ale musia vedieť, že to ani zďaleka nebude vina Bruselu. A že to bude vlastne len vina Viktora Orbána, respektíve ďalších politikov, ktorí sa jeho druhu politiky chcú strašne podobať. No nepridávajme populistom a oportunistom vážnosti. Dámy a páni, im sa vždy, samozrejme, pozornosť Európy páčila a to je dobré na ego. Ale faktom je, že sedia v kúte v Rade, sedia v kúte tuto v europarlamente a budú aj v Európskej komisii.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001410674"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/197523.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-16:21:11&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-16:22:45" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Łukasz Kohut (PPE).</span></span> – Panie Przewodniczący!

Jednak na arenie międzynarodowej przechodzi już samego siebie. Lata do Moskwy, blokuje sankcje na Rosję i wstrzymuje pomoc dla Ukrainy.

Wy macie władzę, środki i obowiązek działania, i ochrony naszych europejskich obywateli. Orbán musi dostać jasny sygnał z Brukseli. Jeśli się nie wycofa, to Węgry lądują poza strefą Schengen, a wszystkie fundusze europejskie są zatrzymane, blokowane i to natychmiastowo.

Utan bakgrundskontroll och för 34 kr i timmen sattes arbetarna att uppgradera svenska kommunikationsmaster.</p> <p class="contents">Det här visar ju på en sak, att när man tappar kontrollen över arbetsmarknaden så öppnas ett gigantiskt säkerhetshål som kan utnyttjas av fientliga makter. Det här är ju på riktigt idag.

Järnvägar, industrier och militära skyddsobjekt har blivit måltavlor och därför är det som nu sker i Ungern fullkomligt oacceptabelt, inte bara för Ungern utan för hela Europa. Ungern öppnar nämligen en gräddfil, särskilt för rysk och belarusisk arbetskraft, som sedan ges fri rörlighet i Europa. Säkerhetshålet på den europeiska arbetsmarknaden blir mycket större.</p> <p class="contents">Till Viktor Orbán och den ungerska regeringen skulle man vilja ställa följande fråga: Vilken arbetskraft är det ni inte kan hitta någon annanstans i Europa eller hos något vänligt inställt land, utan gör att ni måste vända er särskilt till Ryssland?

Ärligt talat så förstår jag inte.</p> <p class="contents">Och till kommissionen vill jag fråga detta: Vad kan vi här i Europaparlamentet göra för att stötta er i er granskning och se till att öka kontrollen och trygga Europas gränser i en orolig tid?</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001410678"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/256846.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-16:25:11&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-16:27:07" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Ondřej Kolář (PPE).</span></span> – Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, dear colleagues, I'm sure you've all heard or read about Ulysses, a Greek king who took part in the siege of the city of Troy, which lasted for years and was very exhausting.</p> <p class="contents">Now, Ulysses is the one who found a solution to this never-ending war. His master plan was to build a big wooden horse which was hollow on the inside and presented to the Trojans as a token of Greek appreciation and surrender. The Greek armies have falsely left the shores of Troy. Yet the big horse which was left behind was too big to fit through the gates of the city, and the Trojans had to dismantle parts of the fortification in order to get the horse through and inside the city walls. After the celebrations of Troy and victory, when the Trojans fell asleep, the hollow horse opened and Greek soldiers climbed out to signal the hidden armies, which then burned Troy to the ground.</p> <p class="contents">Now, thousands of years later, we have one of our own who is opening our door to our enemy. Yet it's happening at the same time, when the Czech Foreign Minister, Jan Lipavský, has come up with an initiative to actually ban Russian diplomats from moving freely around the EU.

We agree on the danger that is posed by Russia, and there have already been many reports of suspected Russian sabotage and espionage.</p> <p class="contents">As we have heard, and we agree in this context, it does raise questions to facilitate access to the Schengen Area for Russian citizens at risk of undermining the security of the entire Schengen Area and the trust of the Schengen states. We all know how important Schengen is for the European economy, for the way we move and for who we are.</p> <p class="contents">Now, in relation to Mr Wąsik's question, let me clarify that the military booklet has never been on the list of documents for processing visa applications for Russian citizens. The Visa Committee discussed this issue in March this year.</p> <p class="contents">One Member State proposed a provision for male citizens between the ages of 18 to 65 to present a full copy of the military service booklet. One Member State opposed, and the others did not support the idea. Therefore, the Visa Committee decided not to retain the requirement of the military booklet, with the understanding that individual Member States can require certain applicants to present the military booklet if they deem it necessary.</p> <p class="contents">The new list significantly strengthens requirements for Russian visa applicants, in line with the suspension of the Visa Facilitation Agreement that took place in February of 2022. The Commission is not aware that other Member States would have recently introduced facilitated admission procedures for work purposes for Russians. We are fully aware that there are Russians entering and staying in the Member States, and the EU law is not preventing that.</p> <p class="contents">The issue at stake is whether Member States are performing adequate security checks on them, and whether Member States recognise the elevated threats and risks and whether they act accordingly. Under the circumstances, Member States are expected to step up the level of checks rather than introduce facilitations in their entry and work permit procedures.</p> <p class="contents">We will continue our discussions with Hungary. Commissioner Johansson met yesterday here in Strasbourg with the Hungarian Minister for European Affairs, and they agreed that Hungary should come with a written reply to the remaining questions. Also, as a Union, all together we need to look at what more we can do to counter Russian subversion. I will count on your support in this important endeavour in order to keep our citizens safe.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001410698"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif" align="right" width="50" height="63" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-16:39:14&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-16:40:40" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">János Bóka, </span></span> <span class="italic">President-in-Office of the Council</span><span class="bold">.</span> – Mr President, honourable members, Commissioner, I have listened to the debate with great interest.

Only global solidarity and cooperation can overcome health emergencies. And it is in this spirit precisely that we have, over the past years, worked as Team Europe to promote equitable access to medical countermeasures.</p> <p class="contents">Since the declaration of an international health emergency by the WHO on 14 August this year, the EU has responded rapidly and comprehensively to support our African partners. Firstly, we have donated the first mpox vaccines to Africa. Two and a half weeks after the emergency declaration, we ensured the successful delivery of over 200 000 vaccines to the Democratic Republic of Congo. They will reach the population before the end of the month.</p> <p class="contents">And the Commission here has played a pivotal role, building on its experience from the 2022 mpox outbreak in Europe, the Health Emergency Response and Preparedness Authority, HERA, already had the vaccine framework contract in place. When seeing the increase of the number of cases across the African continent, HERA immediately started work on a donation agreement. We are now in the process of coordinating Member State donations with the tried and tested Team Europe approach. Together, we have amassed 565 000 doses to donate to African countries and the effort continues for this number to increase.</p> <p class="contents">But vaccines are only one part and our commitment goes beyond. And this brings me to my second point. As you know, the EU has long supported the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Great Lakes region. Our support to primary health care systems has helped contain previous outbreaks, including Ebola and now mpox. We have also been providing humanitarian assistance to local mpox response since 2022.</p> <p class="contents">Strengthening global health systems remains a key priority under our global health strategy, as well as our Global Gateway initiative. We are also committed to supporting the African Union's goal of producing vaccines in Africa for Africa. In addition, the Union Civil Protection Mechanism can be activated to channel and co-finance mpox vaccines, medical items and equipment as well as medical expertise.</p> <p class="contents">Thirdly, we are supporting Africa CDC to improve surveillance, sequencing and access to mpox diagnostics, notably via our African and European research partnerships on infectious diseases. The ECDC is ensuring that information from the ground flows directly into our response strategies. The ECDC has assessed that the overall risk for the outbreak to spread in the EU remains low. At EU level, there is, for now, no need to consider a declaration of a public health emergency in the EU.</p> <p class="contents">Nevertheless, the ECDC has provided information for travellers and advice on vaccination and risk communication strategies. We are continuously working to ensure preparedness and that Member States have access to the medical countermeasures and public health guidance. With the creation of the European Health Union – and I want to thank this House for supporting this for the past years – we have significantly strengthened European preparedness and response to cross-border health threats, putting the protection of health and well-being of citizens always at the centre of our actions.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001410703"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/1927.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-16:46:15&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-16:48:39" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Peter Liese, </span></span> <span class="italic">im Namen der PPE-Fraktion</span><span class="bold">.</span> – Herr Präsident, geehrte Frau Kommissarin, liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen! In der Tat, innerhalb der Europäischen Union haben wir allen Grund, ruhig zu bleiben. Was wir gerade erleben mit Mpox kann man nicht vergleichen und darf man nicht vergleichen mit der COVID‑Pandemie. Für die Menschen in der Europäischen Union ist das Risiko, an dieser Erkrankung zu sterben, extrem gering. Trotzdem müssen wir es ernst nehmen, und wir müssen es vor allen Dingen ernst nehmen in Bezug auf Afrika. Dort ist es ein Riesengesundheitsproblem.</p> <p class="contents">Wenn wir dort helfen, was die Kommission richtigerweise tut, dann helfen wir uns selbst, weil wir, wenn die Krankheit in Afrika im Griff ist, das Risiko auch für Europa wirklich auf nahe null reduzieren können. Es ist ein Gebot der Humanität. Ich finde es aber noch wichtiger, dass wir aus geopolitischen Gründen helfen, denn wenn wir Rohstoffe brauchen, wenn wir Solidarität mit der Ukraine brauchen und Ähnliches, dann ist es wichtig, dass diese Länder sich auch daran erinnern, dass wir ihnen in der Not geholfen haben.</p> <p class="contents">Aber in der Tat ist die Lieferung von Impfstoffen und Medikamenten nur ein kleiner Teil. Ich habe selbst in einem Entwicklungsland gearbeitet und weiß, dass dort die Infrastruktur halt das größte Problem ist. Was mich sehr fasziniert hat: Jemand von der EMA hat mir erklärt, dass tatsächlich bei einer klinischen Prüfung für das antivirale Medikament allein die Tatsache, dass man in einer Klinik war und gut behandelt wurde, die Sterberate halbiert hat; das Medikament kam mit seiner Wirkung noch dazu.

Aunque nosotros dejamos de ver las noticias, la crisis continuaba en la República Democrática del Congo y, el pasado 14 de agosto, la OMS declaró un nuevo brote de emergencia con 14 países afectados, 37 500 infecciones y 1 500 muertes. Y existe un nuevo subtipo que preocupa.</p> <p class="contents">El CDC africano calcula que necesitan 10 millones de vacunas. ¿Saben cuánto ha donado la Unión Europea? 250 000 vacunas. No hemos aprendido nada de la anterior crisis sanitaria. Algunos Estados miembros, como España, han sido solidarios y han donado 500 000 vacunas. Otros ni están ni se les espera, muestran insolidaridad. ¿Y qué está pasando? Que hay millones de vacunas apiladas en Europa mientras miles de personas las están necesitando en el Congo; es decir, vacunas apiladas mientras en África no tienen para salvar a su gente. Repito: no hemos aprendido nada de cómo son las amenazas de salud, de cómo van a ser en el futuro estas amenazas globales. Los queremos parar en las fronteras y además no queremos que tengan vacunas. Y, está bien, nosotros tenemos que actuar con solidaridad y movilizar esas vacunas. No es lo único que necesitan: necesitan también infraestructura, cadenas de frío, para que esas vacunas lleguen a quien de verdad lo necesita. Pero aprendamos, sigamos trabajando en un tratado de pandemias, necesitamos que se ponga en marcha lo establecido en la estrategia global europea, en la Global Gateway, para proveer a esos países de África no solo de solidaridad cuando la necesiten, sino también de estructuras, de infraestructuras, de colaboración con el CDC africano.</p> <p class="contents">Por lo tanto, lo siento, señora comisaria, la política que estamos haciendo en Europa no es una buena política en estos momentos, ante esta crisis.

Encore une fois, l'annonce de l'OMS a déclenché une série de réactions inquiétantes de la part de la Commission européenne. Permettez-moi d'abord de rappeler un principe fondamental devant cet hémicycle nourri au fédéralisme européen: la santé publique relève avant tout de la compétence des États membres. Cette centralisation européenne est problématique. Elle est souvent inefficace, coûteuse et manque cruellement de transparence, comme l'a démontré la passation de contrats de vaccins anti-COVID. Les États membres sont mieux placés pour évaluer et gérer les risques sanitaires qui les concernent directement, en tenant compte de leurs réalités locales.</p> <p class="contents">Dans le cas de la variole du singe, de nombreux experts ont souligné que cette maladie, bien que préoccupante, n'a rien à voir avec la pandémie de COVID-19. Le taux de transmission et de mortalité est relativement faible et il ne semble donc pas justifié de prendre des mesures aussi extrêmes que celles appliquées lors de la COVID. En revanche, rétablir un contrôle aux frontières de l'Europe sur les personnes en provenance des zones touchées pourrait s'avérer efficace pour prévenir une diffusion sur notre continent à ce jour préservé. La frontière n'est pas un gros mot, sachez-le, bien au contraire.</p> <p class="contents">Ce qui nous inquiète ici, c'est que l'approche actuelle de la Commission risque de mener à une escalade de mesures disproportionnées, menaçant nos libertés individuelles. Les crises sanitaires deviennent un prétexte pour la Commission qui ne cherche qu'à renforcer son emprise. Remettre en cause la Commission ne remet pas en cause, bien sûr, la solidarité, notamment pour l'envoi de vaccins à d'autres pays membres. Cependant, si un pays décide de constituer un stock de réserves stratégiques à destination de sa population, ce choix est de plein droit et ne doit pas faire l'objet d'un courroux de la Commission, comme on a pu le constater à l'égard des Pays-Bas. Messieurs les élus et commissaires non élus, connaissez-vous le principe de priorité nationale?

I really commend them for moving so quickly and forcing the hand of the World Health Organisation. Now the African CDC and the WHO are actually working together, as equal partners, and that's progress.</p> <p class="contents">So we've partially learned the lesson that effective response to disease outbreak should be locally led. I worked on the Ebola outbreak ten years ago. It was clear afterwards, when we did our lessons-learned exercise, that the outbreak was stopped because of local action. We need to carry this through now to vaccine development, to vaccine procurement and, of course, to vaccine approval, which has been unforgivably slow in this context.</p> <p class="contents">We also need to continue – both EU and Member State budgets – our support for health systems. We will have five European Parliament committees in New York for the Summit of the Future, for the SDGs. The SDGs are about leaving no one behind, the furthest behind first, and yet we have a situation – a continuing pattern of neglect – where the Democratic Republic of Congo requires 3.5 million vaccines to control this when that affects children so much, and yet they have only received a very small amount.

En Afrique, le Centre pour le contrôle et la prévention des maladies a déclaré le mpox comme une urgence de santé publique dès 2014. L'Organisation mondiale de la santé a reconnu le mpox comme une urgence de santé publique de portée internationale en 2022, puis de nouveau en août 2024.</p> <p class="contents">Alors que l'épidémie de mpox en Afrique s'accélère, le monde a une nouvelle opportunité de démontrer son engagement collectif à lutter contre une crise sanitaire internationale.

Environ 80 % des plus de 700 décès liés au mpox sont survenus chez des enfants, notamment dans les communautés les plus défavorisées. Alors que l'épidémie de mpox devient de plus en plus préoccupante et mortelle, les États membres sont trop longs à agir. Pourquoi? Certains diraient que ce n'est pas notre problème, parce que cela n'affecte pas encore les Européens ou simplement parce que c'est loin.

L'Europe doit faire preuve de solidarité et d'un véritable partenariat avec l'Afrique, et non de pitié. Coopérer avec l'Afrique pour contenir l'épidémie de mpox est aussi dans l'intérêt de l'Europe. Mais sommes-nous une fois de plus dans une espèce d'amnésie collective? Tout ce que nous avons appris du COVID-19 est-il déjà oublié? Car il n'y a pas vraiment de progrès concernant l'accord sur les pandémies et l'Union européenne a même bloqué les avancées sur l'accès aux médicaments dans les pays en développement. Les vaccins proposés sont de nouveau à des prix très élevés, ce qui fait que les États de l'Afrique dépendent des dons, et il n'y a pas de transfert du savoir-faire.

Drugim riječima, važno je da pratimo situaciju, a mjere usmjeravamo prema ranjivim skupinama, kojima trebamo omogućiti da se cijepe prema svojoj volji. Nema potrebe za procjepljivanjem cijele populacije.</p> <p class="contents">Također, lekcije naučene iz Covida nam govore da moramo raditi na suzbijanju dezinformacija koje se pojavljuju u javnom prostoru i na jačanju prevencije. Zato je važno da kao političari s ove rasprave šaljemo jasne i nedvosmislene poruke, za razliku od nekih kolega. U konačnici, ključna je međunarodna suradnja i solidarnost s državama u kojima je ova bolest uznapredovala, a to su afričke zemlje. Zato pozdravljam napore Europske komisije da osigura humanitarnu pomoć i stručnjake za potporu borbi protiv majmunskih boginja u trećem državama.</p> <p class="contents">Kolegice i kolege, moramo osigurati čvrst odgovor Unije na prekogranične prijetnje zdravlju da bismo zaštitili živote europskih građana.</p> <p class="contents">I na kraju jedna osobna stvar, posebno bih iskoristio ovu priliku da zahvalim našoj povjerenici Stelli za sve što je napravila u ovih pet godina, za goleme stvari koje smo napravili kako bismo javno zdravstvo nametnuli kao jednu od glavnih tema i najvažnijih tema u Europskoj uniji.

So können wir als Weltgemeinschaft gemeinsam agieren.</p> <p class="contents">Die Europäische Union hat 200 000 Impfstoffdosen bereitgestellt für die Menschen in der Demokratischen Republik Kongo, und das ist auch dringend nötig. Denn anders als uns die Rechtsextremen von der AfD hier weismachen wollen, haben wir doch die Corona-Pandemie in den Griff gekriegt, weil wir Menschen die Möglichkeit gegeben haben, sich zu impfen und sich zu schützen. Wir würden gegen die Interessen der Europäerinnen und Europäer handeln, wenn wir die Menschen in der Demokratischen Republik Kongo jetzt nicht unterstützen würden. Würden wir das nicht tun, würde Mpox in der Tat wieder die Gefahr mit sich bringen, dass mehr und mehr Menschen unter dieser Krankheit leiden.

Gesundheitspolitik kann ja nicht nur Impfpolitik sein, und das war es bei COVID‑19. Wenn jetzt die Europäische Union helfen will, meine Frage an Sie, Frau Kommissarin: Wie viel Impfstoff gegen Affenpocken werden Sie überhaupt in Summe zu welchen Konditionen bestellen? Es muss ja endlich einmal auch Transparenz in diese gesamte Impfstoffpolitik hineinkommen.</p> <p class="contents">Die zweite entscheidende Frage ist: Diese in etwa 20 000 bestätigten Fälle in Afrika von Affenpocken wurden durch einen PCR‑Test bestätigt. Wie valide ist denn überhaupt dieser PCR‑Test? Das ist nämlich die entscheidende Frage. Wir hatten schon bei COVID‑19 in Wahrheit eine Test‑Pandemie, weil die Validität der PCR‑Tests einfach nicht entsprochen hat. Wo kann man nachschauen und nachlesen, wie valide diese PCR‑Tests sind?</p> <p class="contents">Und, Frau Kommissarin, die dritte entscheidende Frage ist: Sind diese Impfstoffe gegen Affenpocken überhaupt wirksam und sicher? Ein Impfstoff, so wie bei COVID‑19, der Kollateralschäden bei der Bevölkerung auslöst, weder wirksam noch sicher ist – damit helfe ich nicht.</p> <p class="contents">Ich habe im Ausschuss für Umweltfragen, öffentliche Gesundheit und Lebensmittelsicherheit jüngst auch die offiziellen Daten und Zahlen der Europäischen Arzneimittel‑Agentur gebracht – Datenstand 2. September dieses Jahres.

Das sind also nicht Zahlen von uns – Sie bezeichnen uns immer als Schwurbler oder Falschmelder –, das sind Ihre eigenen Zahlen. Ich habe diese eigenen Zahlen im Ausschuss für Umweltfragen, öffentliche Gesundheit und Lebensmittelsicherheit vorgetragen, mache das auch hier, weil der europäischen Bevölkerung gesagt wurde, auch von Ihnen, Frau Kommissarin, dass die COVID‑19‑Impfstoffe wirksam und sicher sind.

Dear colleagues, the upsurge of Mpox cases in a growing number of countries in Africa constitutes a public health emergency of continental concern. The current upsurge of Mpox in parts of Africa is an emergency not only for Africa but for the entire globe. The multi-country outbreak of Mpox is spreading rapidly via sexual contact across a range of countries where the virus has not been seen before.</p> <p class="contents">The WHO declared the current outbreak of Mpox a public health emergency of international concern. At the EU level, the ECDC has collected rapid scientific advice for public health authorities in the EU on its website, particularly related to information on: travelling to areas with ongoing Mpox transmission, diagnosis and isolation of cases, infection prevention and control measures, contact tracing, vaccination and others. It is clear that a coordinated international response is needed to stop the outbreak and save lives.</p> <p class="contents">Dear colleagues, this outbreak shows that international pandemics are not over. The EU should continue sufficient financing of the EU4Health programme, sufficient financing of HERA and the ECDC, sufficient investment in vaccines production, and continued creation of a strong European Health Union.

En toch is dat precies wat een aantal rechtse regeringen in Europa en ook de Nederlandse minister Agema nu met het mpox-virus weer het liefste zouden doen.</p> <p class="contents">Ik roep de Commissie dan ook op om samen met de lidstaten snel grotere inspanningen te leveren om deze getroffen landen te ondersteunen, om verdere verspreiding van het virus en menselijk leed te voorkomen, en om een geloofwaardige en solidaire internationale partner te zijn.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001467354"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents" align="center"><span class="bold">PRESIDE: JAVI LÓPEZ</span><br /><span class="italic">Vicepresidente</span></p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001467356"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/197403.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-17:38:47&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-17:40:54" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Alex Agius Saliba (S&amp;D).</span></span> – Sur President, l-aħħar darba li l-organizzazzjoni dinjija tas-saħħa ddikjarat emerġenza tas-saħħa kien f'Jannar 2020, b'risposta għall-pandemija tal-COVID-19. Ftit tax-xhur wara, id-dinja kollha kienet f'lockdown. Mill-esperjenza tal-pandemija tgħallimna dwar l-importanza li jkollna sistemi biex nindunaw b'dawn il-pandemiji kemm jista' jkun malajr, inwieġbu immedjatament u dwar l-importanza tal-kooperazzjoni fuq skala globali. Bis-saħħa ta' dawn l-esperjenzi llum qegħdin f'qagħda ferm aħjar sabiex nindirizzaw emerġenzi tas-saħħa. Madankollu, wisq nibża' li ż-żieda ta' 77% fin-numru ta' każi kkonfermati tal-Mpox minn Ġunju tindikalna li ma tgħallimna xejn mill-iżbalji tal-passat u li aħna kkundannati li nerġgħu nwettquhom sakemm ma nieħdux passi immedjati sabiex inxejnu l-firxa tal-Mpox.</p> <p class="contents">Ħadd ma huwa salv sakemm kulħadd ikun salv. Qegħdin f'din l-isfida flimkien u jekk nieħdu passi issa nistgħu nkampaw nikkontrollaw is-sitwazzjoni. L-Unjoni Ewropea għandha immedjatament tniedi risposta kkoordinata fuq skala internazzjonali.

Η εξάπλωση της ευλογιάς των πιθήκων μάς υπενθυμίζει ότι οι κρίσεις αυτές δεν γνωρίζουν σύνορα και η ευημερία των πολιτών μας είναι αλληλένδετη με την ικανότητά μας να ανταποκρινόμαστε έγκαιρα και συντονισμένα. Σε αυτό το πλαίσιο, θα ήθελα να τονίσω τέσσερις βασικούς άξονες στους οποίους θα πρέπει να επικεντρωθούμε.</p> <p class="contents">Πρώτον, συντονισμός και συνεργασία μεταξύ των κρατών μελών. Διασφάλιση μιας κοινής ευρωπαϊκής στρατηγικής για την πρόληψη και την αντιμετώπιση της ευλογιάς των πιθήκων. Ανταλλαγή των πληροφοριών —σημαντικότατη κατ' εμέ— αλλά και πόρων και επιστημονικών δεδομένων, ώστε να αποφευχθεί ο κατακερματισμός των προσπαθειών μας.</p> <p class="contents">Ενίσχυση των συστημάτων υγείας, καθώς και της επιτήρησης.

Αυτοί —και όλοι μας— πρέπει να είμαστε κατάλληλα ενημερωμένοι για τα μέτρα πρόληψης και τη φύση της ευλογιάς των πιθήκων. Η διάδοση επιστημονικά τεκμηριωμένων πληροφοριών θα συμβάλει στη μείωση του πανικού αλλά και της παραπληροφόρησης, ενώ θα ενισχύσει την εμπιστοσύνη των πολιτών στα υγειονομικά μέτρα που λαμβάνονται.</p> <p class="contents">Επένδυση θα πρέπει να γίνει στην έρευνα και στην υιοθέτηση στρατηγικών και, επίσης, στην πρόληψη της εξάπλωσης των ζωονόσων σε μεγάλες γεωγραφικές περιοχές λόγω της κλιματικής αλλαγής. Και, φυσικά, σημαντική είναι και η συνεργασία με τον Παγκόσμιο Οργανισμό Υγείας και τρίτες χώρες.</p> <p class="contents">Θέλω επίσης να τονίσω κάτι πολύ βασικό, που το λέω πάντα: μόνο ενωμένοι μπορούμε να διασφαλίσουμε ένα υγιές μέλλον για τους πολίτες της Ευρώπης.

I will try and answer as many of the points raised as possible.</p> <p class="contents">I want to start by referring to what MEP Andriukaitis has said, and I want to start with that because a lot of questions were raised about what we have managed to change at the European level in the way that we deal now with public health emergencies such as that we had with COVID. I just want to reaffirm that we have put the European Health Union in place – together with this Parliament, together with the Member States, with the Commission – we put it in place to exactly ensure preparedness, to ensure swift response and to ensure protection of European citizens. But we also put it into place to show global solidarity with our partners. This is why it is important, as has been raised, to continue working in that direction to reach a successful pandemic agreement, which needs to be balanced in order to address full prevention, preparedness and response cycle in equal manner, and already the amended IHR Regulations form one part of this infrastructure.</p> <p class="contents">So COVID – which did exist, does exist – has cost thousands of lives, and there are thousands more European citizens living now with the effects of long COVID. I want to thank also MEP Temido for raising the importance and the difference between the competencies that we have at EU level with health.</p> <p class="contents">A great deal was said, and I want to stay on the science that was also mentioned. I think it was MEP Castillo who mentioned the science about the current situation of Mpox in Europe. Currently we only have one case which has been reported in Sweden. It was a person that was infected during a stay in the part of Africa where there is a major Mpox outbreak, and outside Europe there was only one other case reported and that was in Thailand. But this does not mean that we shouldn't continue as a Commission and together with ECDC to monitor any new reports.</p> <p class="contents">What is important – because a great deal was said about the donations of vaccines – I wanted to just say to those who have raised this point that we know that worldwide there are a limited number of doses of the Mpox vaccine available. Bavarian Nordic is the only manufacturer whose vaccine does have EU marketing authorisation and in the short term, with Team Europe, we're donating half of the vaccines requested by the Africa CDC and other partners, such as the United States and Japan, will also be delivering vaccines, and we're continuously consulting the Member States on the possibility to donate additional vaccines and therapeutics. There are challenges on the ground in doing this, and we are working together with the WHO and the CDC and UNICEF in order to be able to overcome them.</p> <p class="contents">We also heard a great deal about the way that we have worked since COVID. Many of you have mentioned that borders do not contain viruses, and this is why it is important that, together with HERA, which is working with Member States, we are ensuring that there are vaccines available in the Member States. At the moment, there is no indication that they require more vaccines than those already available. The Africa CDC is working very closely, not only with the WHO, as was mentioned, but also with the ECDC.</p> <p class="contents">On the question of the safety of the Mpox vaccine, and because adolescents were specifically mentioned, I just wanted to say that at the moment the EMA, the European Medicines Authority, is expected to adopt in the coming days its opinion regarding the extension of use for adolescents of this vaccine. I also wanted to just assure, for those following this debate, once again, that it is the European Medicines Authority that ensures that we have safe and effective medicines and vaccines available in the EU and it is the EMA that is also monitoring closely any possible side effects for all medicines that we have.</p> <p class="contents">Donating vaccines is not only a matter of solidarity – and this needs to be said – it is also a matter of good health policy, because the best way to effectively tackle any pandemic or any other health crisis is to intervene in the regions that are most affected. The effectiveness requires that we deliver vaccines quickly, which is exactly what we are doing today in the case of Mpox. But, of course, each Member State, when deciding on donations – which are a national competence – needs to reflect on the number of vaccines they're donating and the number of vaccines they are stockpiling.</p> <p class="contents">Because a great deal was said – and I will end with this, although I could go into many of the other points, but I need to end with this – about the transparency and the contracts for COVID-19, I just want to be very clear that transparency has always been at the top of our priorities when we were negotiating contracts on COVID and that the Commission throughout that was proactively communicating on the state of play of all negotiations and the ensuing contracts. We kept the European Parliament informed of the state of play of the negotiations and the contracts. Member States were participating directly in the negotiations, and they are fully aware, and transparency and accountability are at the heart of the Commission's response to COVID-19. They have been of the highest priority to this Commission, and, of course, we will continue to act in this way.</p> <p class="contents">I'm very sorry that I have exceeded my time, but a great deal was heard that I needed to reply to because, ultimately, what we need to understand is that we all have a mission, and our mission is to protect the health not only of our citizens, but to have a global perspective to health, where public health threats are concerned.

Sous couvert de morale, cette loi est une attaque directe contre les droits fondamentaux des femmes et des filles. Elle impose des restrictions draconiennes sur leur liberté de mouvement, leur droit à l'éducation, à travailler et même à participer à la vie publique. Elle s'inscrit dans une tentative plus large et systématique de priver les femmes de leurs droits, même les plus élémentaires. Cette loi sonne un retour aux heures les plus sombres de l'Afghanistan, où les femmes sont reléguées au silence et à l'invisibilité, jusqu'à imposer que dans l'espace public on n'entende plus aucune voix de femme.</p> <p class="contents">C'est une violation flagrante des droits humains. L'Union européenne ne peut pas, ne doit pas le tolérer. Nous avons la responsabilité de condamner ces actes. Que ce soit sous le régime des talibans ou ailleurs, la dignité des femmes ne peut être sacrifiée au nom d'une idéologie rétrograde ou d'un contrôle social autoritaire. Privées d'éducation elles sont privées d'avenir, privées de liberté elles sont privées de dignité. Enfermées chez elles, réduites au silence, elles sont privées de leur place légitime dans la société.</p> <p class="contents">Ces femmes ne doivent pas être abandonnées à leur sort, et leur courage face à l'oppression doit inspirer notre action. Nous devons intensifier notre soutien à celles et à ceux qui, en Afghanistan et au-delà, luttent pour un avenir où les droits des femmes sont respectés, protégés et promus sans condition. Donnons aux femmes afghanes des plateformes où leurs voix auront une résonance internationale. Nous ne pouvons rester silencieux face à l'injustice qui leur est faite. Ces attaques contre les femmes afghanes sont des attaques contre les valeurs universelles de liberté, de justice et de dignité humaine. Le respect de la dignité humaine est non négociable.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001467369"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/124799.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-17:56:04&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-17:58:05" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Alessandra Moretti, </span></span> <span class="italic">autrice</span><span class="bold">.</span> – Signor Presidente, onorevoli colleghi, apartheid di genere: questo è ciò che sta accadendo in Afghanistan.</p> <p class="contents">Dalla presa del potere da parte dei talebani, ormai tre anni fa, le donne sono state travolte da una spirale di violenza e negazione di diritti e di libertà volta a cancellare la loro voce e la loro figura dalla società afghana.</p> <p class="contents">Chiedo a questo Parlamento di riflettere: cosa fareste se a vostra figlia, a vostra sorella, alla vostra compagna o a voi stessi venisse vietato di esistere?

Las mujeres no pueden salir a la calle si no van acompañadas de un hombre, no pueden ser escuchadas sus voces, tienen que tapar completamente sus cuerpos, no pueden mirar por las ventanas, no pueden trabajar fuera de casa, no pueden hacer deporte, y se han cerrado los salones de belleza, que eran espacios donde se socializaba y eran espacios seguros donde poder estar, hablar, con otras mujeres. El régimen talibán ha impuesto un <span class="italic">apartheid</span> de género que las está borrando del espacio público y que las está matando de violencia y de hambre: les está negando el derecho a vivir, es el patriarcado más agresivo del mundo entero.</p> <p class="contents">Pero quiero decir que esto no siempre fue así, que las mujeres afganas han sido siempre un ejemplo, una referencia de lucha, para todas las mujeres en el mundo entero por los avances y las conquistas feministas que consiguieron desde los años veinte, también en los años sesenta, con la conquista de la igualdad en la Constitución o con el derecho a la educación como pilar fundamental para la igualdad de nuestras sociedades.</p> <p class="contents">Y precisamente por eso sufrieron muchísima violencia política, muchísima reacción fundamentalista. Por cierto, esa violencia política que también las derechas despliegan contra las mujeres que avanzan en feminismo en el mundo entero; esas derechas que utilizan la situación de las mujeres en Afganistán, pero a las que, en realidad, no les preocupan las mujeres afganas, como tampoco les preocupan las mujeres y los derechos de las mujeres en todo el mundo.</p> <p class="contents">Quiero decir una cosa. Sobre la situación en Afganistán hay que atreverse a contar toda la historia, incluido el daño que han hecho las intervenciones por parte de Estados Unidos y de la OTAN por intereses propios, geopolíticos, contra la URSS y también contra el avance de procesos populares: guerras ilegales, financiación de grupos terroristas que generaron un Estado fallido, lo que permitió el avance de los talibanes. Aprendan de la historia: la guerra nunca es la solución, la guerra lo destruye todo.</p> <p class="contents">Y, por último, quiero decir que cómo es posible que, ante esta situación, Estados miembros de la Unión Europea sigan negando la protección internacional a las mujeres afganas, a las minorías, a las familias que están huyendo del régimen talibán. Actúen con firmeza, rompan cualquier tipo de complicidad y protejan la vida de las mujeres: las afganas no están solas y las instituciones europeas deben demostrarlo.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001467377"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/197552.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-18:05:56&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-18:07:07" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Veronika Vrecionová, </span></span> <span class="italic">Autorka</span><span class="bold">.</span> – Pane předsedající, vážené kolegyně, vážení kolegové, situace žen v Afghánistánu je kritická. Pod vládou islámských fundamentalistů z Tálibánu dochází ke každodennímu zhoršování situace žen a flagrantnímu porušování jejich univerzálních lidských práv. Pokud Evropská unie myslí své hodnoty vážně, musí umět najít rozhodnou a tvrdou odpověď.

Se trata de una crisis contra la humanidad. Se producen a diario violaciones de los derechos humanos y crímenes de Derecho internacional con absoluta impunidad. La vida de veintiún millones de mujeres afganas se ha convertido en un infierno. En palabras de ellas, «prefiero que mis hijas mueran antes de caer en manos de los talibanes; hemos vuelto a la oscuridad». Se ha dicho aquí: la educación vetada; excluidas del mercado laboral; no pueden viajar sin el acompañamiento de un pariente masculino; han de ir cubiertas de pies a cabeza; no pueden llevar tacones; prohibido también practicar deporte; prohibido arreglarse en salones de belleza; no pueden utilizar móviles ni cámaras; segregación en el transporte; se les prohíbe cantar, alzar la voz, tocar música, etc. Si lo hacen, los castigos son atroces: violaciones, ejecuciones, flagelación, lapidación, todo ello sumado a una Justicia absolutamente no independiente.</p> <p class="contents">Condenamos, por lo tanto, este régimen, sin paliativos. Ellas nos piden: «hablen de nosotras; no nos olviden». Por lo tanto, tenemos que generar una conciencia global y debemos actuar. Hemos de alzar la voz porque no podemos dejar que lo hagan solas.

Esta legislación impone restricciones severas sobre su movilidad, vestimenta, presencia en la vida pública… y también perpetúa el patriarcado y el sistema de control y violencia que las relega a la sombra y borra su voz. Esta ley niega la dignidad humana a la mitad de la población en Afganistán. Desde que llegó al poder en 2021, el régimen talibán ha violado sistemáticamente los derechos de las mujeres contraviniendo las normas internacionales y de derechos humanos.</p> <p class="contents">Esta ley de nuevo ataca los principios que promueve además el Convenio de Estambul, en el que nos comprometimos a prevenir y combatir la violencia contra las mujeres y las niñas. No podemos permanecer al margen ignorando este sufrimiento.

Quando si parla di diritti delle donne in paesi islamici, perdono la parola, stanno zitte. Ho ascoltato gli interventi delle deputate di sinistra: nemmeno una ha citato il termine islamico.</p> <p class="contents">Quello che sta accadendo in Afghanistan fa rabbrividire. Lo dico da donna, innanzitutto, da donna libera che da sempre si batte per i diritti femminili negati nei paesi a maggioranza islamica. I crimini, le persecuzioni, le torture, le detenzioni arbitrarie a cui sono sottoposte donne e bambine afghane dal regime talebano rappresentano il punto più basso dell'epoca recente.</p> <p class="contents">Ma le avete lette, voi, le nuove leggi contro le donne? Non possono spostarsi da sole, non possono vestirsi come desiderano, non possono frequentare le scuole superiori, non possono lavorare fuori casa, non possono ricoprire incarichi politici, devono coprire qualsiasi parte del loro corpo e non possono guardare direttamente uomini non appartenenti alla loro famiglia. Addirittura, non possono far sentire la loro voce in pubblico, cantando o recitando. Praticamente sono colpevoli di una cosa sola: essere donne.</p> <p class="contents">Tutto questo avviene nel silenzio assordante della sinistra europea e italiana, sempre pronta a parlare a sproposito di patriarcato, ma zitta – assolutamente zitta – quando di mezzo c'è l'Islam radicale. Silenzio anche dalle associazioni femministe, più impegnate a storpiare le desinenze delle parole che a occuparsi delle violenze e dei soprusi di genere. Troppo faticoso o troppo scomodo prendere a cuore le vicende complicate delle donne di Kabul – i talebani, il burqa, la sharia, le botte, la sottomissione. Niente indignazione, nessuna manifestazione in piazza, nessun sermone sui diritti e l'uguaglianza violata. Silenzio.</p> <p class="contents">La mancata presa di posizione forte da parte dell'Europa sull'Afghanistan lascia intendere una tolleranza verso un tipo di cultura che non ci appartiene e che non è compatibile con i nostri principi di democrazia e libertà. Lo dimostrate anche promuovendo il velo islamico nelle comunicazioni ufficiali della Commissione europea. Tutto ciò con l'ovvia conseguenza che le periferie delle grandi città si stanno riempiendo di donne velate, anche con il burqa. Anche nelle scuole stanno aumentando le bambine con il velo.</p> <p class="contents">Per noi questa oppressione per motivi religiosi è inaccettabile e continueremo a denunciarla, anche a costo di prenderci minacce, anche di morte. Non abbiamo paura. Io non ho paura. Noi siamo pronti a fare la nostra parte.

Without a doubt, under the Taliban, every Afghani lost. But Afghani women really lost everything. They lost their right to work; they lost their right to education; they lost their right to choose their own identity or to choose to marry and whom they want to marry. And now their loss is complete: they are losing their voice as well.</p> <p class="contents">With our military withdrawal, we seem to start to look away, whereas other powers, like China and Russia, now operate in the power vacuum that has risen. And it's positive that Europe has reopened its diplomatic post. Hopefully that's a small step to hear the Afghan women and to support the women and men who are courageous in Afghanistan to stand up against the Taliban.

É verdadeiramente urgente denunciar o <span class="italic">apartheid</span> de género que acaba de se impor no Afeganistão, como é igualmente urgente fazer tudo para lhe pôr termo.</p> <p class="contents">A repressão de mulheres instalou‑se no país quando, pela segunda vez e no contexto conhecido, os talibãs regressaram ao poder, há cerca de três anos. Desde então, as mulheres foram proibidas de ir à escola para além do sexto ano, foram banidas da universidade, não podem trabalhar, fazer desporto ou frequentar parques públicos, não lhes é permitido viajar mais do que 70 quilómetros para lá da sua casa sem a devida supervisão masculina.</p> <p class="contents">E, no final do passado mês de agosto, estas restrições foram ainda transformadas em lei. A chamada Lei do Vício e da Virtude dita uma aplicação severa e impiedosa daquilo que interpreta ser a lei islâmica. O novo código religioso proíbe as mulheres de levantarem a voz, de recitarem o Corão em público e de tantas outras coisas.</p> <p class="contents">A tudo isto, junta‑se uma gravíssima crise económica vivida no Afeganistão, em que as mulheres são as principais vítimas. Sem possibilidade de estudar, de trabalhar ou sequer sair de casa, as mulheres ficam expostas à privação. Cerca de 90 % das raparigas afegãs assumem não comer as refeições básicas. Estão vetadas a um isolamento que resulta em subjugação e um terço das raparigas afegãs reportam sinais de depressão e de ansiedade.</p> <p class="contents">Não há, por isso, outra forma de o dizer: estamos perante uma verdadeira crise humanitária e não podemos abandonar estas mulheres à mercê de um regime brutal. Exigimos a reversão da Lei do Vício e da Virtude. Não podemos permitir que o governo talibã use os direitos das mulheres como moeda de troca. Temos de aplicar sanções aos principais atores políticos.</p> <p class="contents">Por todo o país, nas suas casas, quase sempre na sombra e no silêncio, as mulheres afegãs continuam a resistir. Lembremo‑nos de que poderia ser cada uma de nós a estar lá, na sombra, no silêncio.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001467399"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/197691.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-18:27:00&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-18:29:15" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Mathilde Androuët (PfE).</span></span> – Monsieur le Président, l'adoption de la loi sur la promotion de la vertu et la prévention du vice par les talibans suscite l'effroi tant la situation des Afghanes n'a de cesse de régresser. Privées de leurs libertés fondamentales, les femmes sont enfermées dans un système de contrôle total de leur vie quotidienne: interdiction de se déplacer sans tuteur masculin, impossibilité d'accéder à l'éducation, interdiction de travailler dans la plupart des secteurs. Hélas, soyons honnêtes, notre condamnation unanime ici ne changera rien à leur sort. Le soutien moral c'est bien, le soutien actif c'est mieux. Aussi, à défaut de ne pouvoir par notre travail législatif améliorer la vie de ces malheureuses, examinons celui des femmes afghanes exilées qui considèrent que l'Europe n'est pas à la hauteur du combat pour le droit des femmes.</p> <p class="contents">Ainsi, le 26 août dernier, l'athlète olympique afghane de taekwondo, Marzieh Hamidi, réfugiée depuis deux ans à Paris, s'indigne sur les réseaux sociaux de cette nouvelle législation afghane. Elle reçoit pour seule réponse des torrents d'injures, des menaces de mort et de viol. Elle vit désormais sous protection policière, cachée, et a dû déménager deux fois en quinze jours. Voici son témoignage: «Je vis à Paris depuis plus de deux ans et je ne pensais pas que ma vie serait mise en danger ici. De nombreux appels venaient d'Afghanistan, mais aussi de France, de Belgique, d'Allemagne. On veut me faire taire dans mon pays d'origine, mais désormais ici aussi, en France, en plein cœur de l'Europe.»</p> <p class="contents">Dénoncer la charia afghane depuis Strasbourg est simple, mais ferez-vous la même chose contre celle qui se développe en Europe?

Ale mówię o tym dlatego, ponieważ niezależnie od tego, o kim mówimy, czy mówimy o Afgankach, czy mówimy o Polkach, czy mówimy o Włoszkach, czy o jakiejkolwiek innej kobiecie, to każda kobieta, gdziekolwiek żyje i gdziekolwiek mieszka, ma po prostu mieć prawo do edukacji, do pracy, do zdrowia czy po prostu do miłości.

A jako Europa musimy być światłem nadziei dla kobiet na całym świecie. Więc też z tego miejsca zwracam się do Ursuli von der Leyen, abyśmy nie przestawały walczyć o prawa kobiet. To musi być priorytet w nowej Komisji Europejskiej. A na koniec zwracam się bezpośrednio do kobiet z Afganistanu. Zabrali wam twarze, zabrali wam głos, ale nie zabrali wam siły i nadziei.

Depuis trois ans, 28 millions d'Afghanes ont été progressivement supprimées de l'espace public, privées d'éducation, obligées de se voiler entièrement le corps et de se couvrir le visage. Ce mois d'août, les talibans ont adopté une nouvelle loi qui veut promouvoir la vertu et prévenir le vice. Pour les talibans, la vertu implique d'interdire aux femmes de chanter, de réciter de la poésie et de lire à voix haute en public, de se maquiller, de se parfumer et même de regarder un homme qui ne soit pas de leur famille. Ceci est un apartheid de genre et on pourrait même parler de génocide, soit un crime de masse patriarcal.</p> <p class="contents">Les Afghanes sont enfermées en elles-mêmes, leur santé mentale se dégrade. Il y a de nombreux suicides, mais c'est tout un pays qui dévisse. Je pose la question: à quel point faut-il haïr les femmes pour les priver d'éducation, pour effacer leur corps, pour ne pas tolérer qu'elles chantent, qu'elles parlent en public comme je le fais ici, ou pour contrôler là où se porte leur regard? L'idéologie des talibans est la misogynie portée au stade suprême, cette même misogynie qui tue depuis des millénaires et qui continuera de tuer si nous n'y mettons pas un terme, quelles que soient les formes qu'elle prenne.</p> <p class="contents">Donc, pour les Afghanes, nous appelons les pays du monde à ne pas normaliser leurs relations avec le régime des talibans. Nous appelons à ce que l'apartheid de genre soit désormais inscrit dans le droit international comme un crime contre l'humanité.

W przyszłym roku na Białorusi odbędą się wybory prezydenckie. Łukaszenka w 2020 r. sfałszował wybory i już zapowiada, że teraz też nie odpuści. Europa chce dziś – i to robimy w naszej rezolucji – jasno zakomunikować wszystkim Białorusinom: stoimy po waszej stronie. Chcemy, byście wreszcie zyskali wpływ na to, jak wyglądają rządy w waszym kraju. Dziś mocnym głosem w naszej rezolucji żądamy m.in.: przeprowadzenia wolnych i transparentnych wyborów, uwolnienia wszystkich więźniów politycznych (w tym Andrzeja Poczobuta), odpolitycznienia procesów sądowych.</p> <p class="contents">Drodzy przyjaciele z Białorusi! Jako Polak doskonale rozumiem i podzielam wasze demokratyczne dążenia. Jako Unia Europejska nie możemy bezczynnie patrzeć, jak postkomunistyczna Rosja agresywnie broni strefy wpływów, którą uważa za swoją. My, tak jak i wy, chcemy Białorusi wolnej i niezależnej. Stąd w naszej rezolucji wzywamy do rozszerzenia sankcji na Łukaszenkę.

The wonderful women, our laureates of the Sakharov Prize, who exemplified hope.</p> <p class="contents">Now, the hope is gone for so many in and outside of Belarus. Two of the women – our laureates – are in exile. Another one is in prison. Her fate – the fate of a brave and patriotic protester who refused to be deported from her country – is one of the motivations for this resolution. Maria Kalesnikava is denied contact with her family. Nobody knows about her situation. She is most probably sick, but probably still alive – probably, not surely. But she is just one of many who are isolated, arbitrarily imprisoned, denied health care. Some names representative of the 1 355 political prisoners of Belarus are mentioned in our resolution.</p> <p class="contents">But there are two more reasons why this resolution is important for us, why this resolution is important for me personally. One is an apology. We, the Western countries, owe an apology to you, dear Belarusians. I know how much it hurt to see that during the recent prisoner exchange, that involved the Belarusian dictator, no Belarusian democrats were freed. This is frankly a big mistake, our mistake, and this mistake must be corrected by redoubling efforts to free the Belarusian prisoners in the future. This is also what our resolution says.</p> <p class="contents">The third reason is the fate of the Belarusian political diaspora. We must do our utmost to address their needs – and there are plenty of them, specifically in the European Union – make it possible and safe for them to stay here and to get documents, provisional passports for those who are denied their own passports by their own country.</p> <p class="contents">These are our duties.

Loukachenko se présente à un septième mandat pour la prochaine élection présidentielle qui aura lieu début 2025. Cet été, Loukachenko a successivement gracié des prisonniers politiques, très probablement en vue de cette élection. Toutefois, des milliers de syndicalistes, de journalistes et d'opposants politiques sont encore détenus, et pour certains torturés, comme le documente de très nombreuses ONG. C'est le cas par exemple d'Andreï Gnyot, défenseur des droits humains actuellement détenus en Serbie. Nous demandons au régime serbe de ne pas extrader Andreï vers la Biélorussie, dernier pays européen à ne pas avoir aboli la peine de mort, toujours inscrite dans son code pénal.</p> <p class="contents">C'est aussi le cas de Maria Kolesnikova, détenue à l'isolement, sans accès à des soins médicaux adéquats, et ce malgré la détérioration de son état de santé. Human Rights Watch a d'ailleurs alerté sur son cas ces derniers mois. Le prix Nobel de la paix, Ales Bialiatski, et le syndicaliste Aliaksandr Yarashuk sont également concernés par ces pratiques.</p> <p class="contents">L'Union européenne doit exiger des autorités biélorusses de libérer immédiatement tous les prisonniers politiques arrêtés et détenus sur la seule base de leur opposition au pouvoir en place. Nous devons également soutenir le peuple biélorusse dans son aspiration à vivre dans une société pluraliste et réellement démocratique. De Minsk à Jénine en passant par Goma, nous ne pouvons pas penser les orientations des droits humains à géométrie variable. Toute occasion ratée de faire respecter les droits humains est une responsabilité supplémentaire quant à l'état du monde que nous devrons tôt ou tard endosser.

We could also actually enforce sanctions in areas which hurt Lukashenko and his cronies. Yes, we took microwaves and fridges from the Belarusian market, okay, and now they are buying it from the Chinese. But Belarus does have critical sectors which make the richest even richer. But that would mean some European companies knocking on your doors and demanding compensations, right? So I don't feel that we are being blocked from action to actually help Europe get rid of the last proper dictator, but we lack courage.

Ir tenka konstatuoti, jog toje šalyje jų padėtis išlieka be galo liūdna ir netgi grėsminga. Šiuo momentu virš 1300 žmonių Baltarusijoje laikomi politiniais kaliniais. Baltarusijos režimas toliau pamina žmogaus teises, tarptautines normas, pamina netgi elementarias teises. Ir tam, kad tik išlaikytų kontrolę savo rankose šis režimas. Europos Sąjungoje šalys narės turėtų dėti visas pastangas siekiant politinių kalinių išlaisvinimo. Ir aš palaikau rezoliucijos pagrindinius punktus, kuriuose apie tai kalbama. Bet nors mes nelaikome Lukašenkos <span class="italic">de jure</span> šalies prezidentu, tačiau žinome, kad jis <span class="italic">de facto</span> kontroliuoja situaciją šalyje. Bet viena humanitarinė galimybė išgelbėti bent kai kuriuos politinius kalinius gali būti panaudota. Net ir kariaujančios šalys sugeba įvykdyti karo belaisvių apsikeitimo operacijas. Neseniai Vakarų šalys įvykdė kalinių apsikeitimo operaciją su Rusija. Reikėtų rimtai pagalvoti, ar tokia pati apsikeitimo operacija negalėtų būti įvykdyta siekiant išlaisvinti Baltarusijos kalinius, tokius kaip Maryja Kalesnikava, kaip Mikalajus Statkevičius, kaip Siarhejus Cichanouskis ir kitus. Todėl mano pasiūlymas būtų pagalvoti apie tokią humanitarinę galimybę.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001474489"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/257055.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-19:41:19&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-19:42:41" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Małgorzata Gosiewska (ECR).</span></span> – Szanowni Państwo, dziś stajemy wobec obowiązku wyrażenia stanowczego potępienia brutalnych działań reżimu Łukaszenki.

We must continue to support civil society, media and democratic forces in Belarus. And one more thing, which I know from my conversations with Ms Tikhanovskaya, the people in the prisons of Belarus, they hear when we talk about them, they know that we think about them.

Since the fraudulent elections in 2020, the regime has arbitrarily detained thousands of people for choosing to freely exercise their political and civil rights.</p> <p class="contents">More than four years later, the repression still persists. Not only political opponents, but any individual perceived as a potential threat became a target of the regime. Some political prisoners were released in recent months and weeks. We share their joy and relief to be free and reunited with their families and loved ones. However, there are still more than 1 300 political prisoners detained in Belarus, many of them kept incommunicado for weeks, months or even years. Those mentioned by you and others have no access to legal representation and medical care and are submitted to ill treatment or torture, often held in life-threatening conditions. Many of them have been denied any possibility to communicate with the outside world for over 18 months.</p> <p class="contents">The EU urges the Belarusian authorities to immediately and unconditionally release all political prisoners. The EU stands in solidarity with political prisoners and their families. We also support families of political prisoners and work to ensure the rehabilitation of those who have been released.</p> <p class="contents">We will also continue to support the work on accountability. We stand ready to continue to adopt restrictive measures against those responsible for human rights violations: judges, prosecutors, heads of penal colonies and members of the regime security services.

Musimy zrobić wszystko, żeby tak się stało. Sytuacja łamania praw człowieka na Kubie jest alarmująca. Jeśli chcemy tak naprawdę to zmienić, musimy rozmawiać z reżimem komunistycznym jasnym, twardym i zrozumiałym dla niego językiem.</p> <p class="contents">Dopóki trwają represje wobec opozycji, dopóki są więźniowie polityczni, nie ma mowy o współpracy Kuby z Unią Europejską. Umowa o dialogu politycznym i współpracy z Kubą musi być natychmiast zawieszona. Jej kontynuowanie oznacza pośrednie finansowanie brutalnego reżimu. Drodzy Kubańczycy, nie jesteście sami.

É um entre muitos.</p> <p class="contents">São muitos os presos políticos que estão neste momento nas cadeias cubanas. Também não é uma novidade. Há muitas décadas que isto acontece.</p> <p class="contents">Cuba começou por despertar, numa primeira fase, uma grande esperança entre várias forças progressistas de todo o mundo, mas muito rapidamente se transformou naquilo que ainda hoje é: uma ditadura. E não há ditaduras boas, nem ditaduras más. Não há ditaduras que devam merecer qualquer tipo de acolhimento em detrimento de outras que seriam completamente infrequentáveis.</p> <p class="contents">Todas as ditaduras são más e todos os democratas têm o dever de enfrentar essas ditaduras. São muitos, milhares e milhares, os homens e as mulheres que fugiram de Cuba nas últimas décadas. Estão espalhados um pouco por todo o mundo e, quando os ouvimos, verificamos que a sua grande ânsia, a primeira ânsia, é a ânsia de liberdade, é a ânsia da democracia.</p> <p class="contents">Há em Cuba situações dramáticas sob vários pontos de vista, mas aquilo que une todos os dissidentes cubanos é a vontade da liberdade, é a vontade de poderem dizer o que pensam, é a vontade de poderem reunir‑se com quem quiserem, é a vontade de poderem usufruir dos direitos de que usufruem a generalidade das democracias em que nós estamos inseridos.</p> <p class="contents">E é por isso que nós consideramos fundamental que o tema de Cuba seja objeto de discussão aqui no Parlamento Europeu. É o momento para, uma vez mais, manifestarmos a nossa solidariedade a todos os dissidentes, a todos os que tiveram que fugir, a todos que permanecem em Cuba, a quantos estão presos, às suas famílias.</p> <p class="contents">O caso de José Daniel Ferrer García é particularmente chocante: está preso, não se conhece o seu estado de saúde, tem dificuldades de comunicação com a sua própria família. O que sabemos das prisões cubanas suscita‑nos a maior das preocupações. Ainda há pouco lia uma entrevista de uma outra dissidente, Camila Rodríguez, que, há dois anos atrás, na sequência da aprovação de um novo Código Penal, decidiu abandonar Cuba para não ser presa e que é hoje também uma voz da insatisfação profunda e uma voz de reivindicação da liberdade fora de Cuba, por Cuba, pelas cubanas e pelos cubanos.</p> <p class="contents">A União Europeia tem um acordo de diálogo político e de colaboração com Cuba. No âmbito desse acordo, nós temos a obrigação de acompanhar a questão do respeito ou, neste caso, o desrespeito pelos direitos humanos em Cuba. Não é apenas um direito, é um dever que a União Europeia tem.</p> <p class="contents">Nós não escondemos que somos desfavoráveis ao embargo americano a Cuba. Consideramos que essa decisão foi historicamente errada e constitui, desde logo, motivo para um álibi do próprio regime, para justificar aquilo que é totalmente injustificável. E queremos manter este diálogo político com Cuba. Não nos move a intenção de pôr em causa esse diálogo político, mas também não podemos ficar reféns desse diálogo político, a ponto de perdermos a capacidade de censurar Cuba e, sobretudo, de acompanhar a evolução da questão dos direitos humanos em Cuba.</p> <p class="contents">E a questão que se coloca neste momento é saber: Cuba está hoje melhor ou pior do que estava há quatro ou cinco anos atrás? Em matéria de respeito pelos direitos humanos houve uma evolução ou houve uma regressão? Há mais ou menos presos políticos? O Direito Penal teve uma evolução positiva ou teve uma evolução negativa? A repressão é maior ou é menor? A liberdade é maior ou é menor?</p> <p class="contents">Estas são as questões concretas que têm que ser colocadas em relação a Cuba, como o fazemos em relação a qualquer outra ditadura.</p> <p class="contents">É por isso que entendemos que este debate é um debate útil. É um debate que se justifica plenamente no tempo e esperemos que este debate possa contribuir, por escassa que seja a sua contribuição, para que os presos políticos, para que os refugiados, para que os dissidentes tenham mais esperança e mais vontade para lutar pela democracia e pela liberdade em Cuba.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="2017001474531"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/197786.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vidjow tat-taħditiet" href="/plenary/mt/vod.html?mode=unit&amp;vodLanguage=MT&amp;playerStartTime=20240918-20:15:53&amp;playerEndTime=20240918-20:18:15" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" />  <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Susanna Ceccardi, </span></span> <span class="italic">autrice</span><span class="bold">.</span> – Signora Presidente, onorevoli colleghi, a Cuba ci sono oltre 1 000 prigionieri politici arrestati e detenuti arbitrariamente, mentre un sanguinario regime autoritario continua a opprimere brutalmente chiunque osi opporsi.</p> <p class="contents">José Daniel Ferrer García non solo è un oppositore del regime comunista, ma è un esempio della resistenza non violenta e della speranza di una transizione pacifica verso la democrazia a Cuba.

Condanniamo con fermezza le violazioni sistematiche dei diritti umani perpetrate dal regime cubano, le torture, le violenze sui manifestanti e la repressione della libertà di espressione e di culto.</p> <p class="contents">Il comportamento passivo dell'alto rappresentante per gli affari esteri Borrell non è soltanto inadeguato, ma è scandaloso. È scandalosa la sua indifferenza di fronte alle grida di aiuto a Cuba, le quali rappresentano un'enorme macchia sulla reputazione dell'Unione intera. Dobbiamo introdurre immediatamente sanzioni mirate contro i responsabili delle violazioni dei diritti umani, interrompere ogni sostegno finanziario a un regime oppressivo.

We have followed this case very closely and shared our concerns through the relevant channels. The EU has on numerous occasions called for the release of all those detained for the mere expression of these views, including José Daniel Ferrer, and we have called for the respect for their fundamental rights and physical integrity during detention as well. Today, I reiterate this urgent call.</p> <p class="contents">The EU holds a long-standing and unequivocal position on the need to respect human rights in Cuba, as elsewhere. We expect Cuba to uphold fundamental rights and freedoms, respect the human dignity of all citizens, and engage in meaningful dialogue and address their grievances.</p> <p class="contents">These concerns are consistently raised by the EU in its critical, yet constructive, engagement with Cuba, both in Havana and in Brussels, within the framework of the Political Dialogue and Cooperation Agreement. This agreement provides us with the essential space for direct dialogue on issues where we share similar views, but also on others where we have clear disagreements or even opposing positions. This includes particularly the EU-Cuba Human Rights Dialogue, for which the EU Special Representative for Human Rights last travelled to Havana in November 2023.</p> <p class="contents">We have underlined to the Cuban Government our deep concerns about the detentions and disproportionate sentences handed out in connection with the demonstrations of July 2021.
