how can anyone think to create a federal military project that involves twenty seven nations and twenty four languages?
the eu keeps evolving towards a totalitarian union and eventually towards a military one.
that's why the brexit party is surging in the polls.
so i find it somewhat surreal that three years on we are discussing the investeu project another eur forty billion in taxpayers' money and another eur five hundred million on top for the technical side and yet we still do not know whether or not the uk will end up being part of the next mmf the next seven year financial plan for the european union.
one of the most important things is the average level of political support for these proposals.
elections and that's a very important
but we need to understand that if we open up the market and i'm all in favour then the advantage is on the side of those that cheat and also of those that are big.
but then we also need to be honest and fair and say that we also have some homework to do that even in our own political families in our political groups in political parties we will find those that are providing these simplistic solutions.
if you are let's work on
so we need a free and as well a fair treatment of our business people of our entrepreneurs of our consumers and again also of farmers.
i'm afraid if i look at the czech republic there are a lot of statements on the side of the political elite and again they lack the courage the ability the vision to understand that we will have an internal market we will have free movement if we really secure the border.
us. if you invent an application you go to the us because you will have one authorisation and three let's say contracts with mobile operators.
that means that we have a potential of.
so that means that we need to work also on the standards on the norms and also on competition policy.
i don't think that you speak or understand czech but i must say that what you have said is like reading the election manifesto of my own political movement voice or hlas and that is positive news because that means that regardless of the fact that you're in the ppe and i'm a liberal there are a number of questions
i'm afraid that these are absolutely necessary otherwise you cannot evolve.
you had knowledge and you had attitude.
so i'm afraid that that doesn't go hand in hand with the parallel that i've made for the czech prime minister.
on which we can and we should seek european solutions on a number of issues that we can also agree with other parties and i think that this is what we need to be aiming at after the next election.
there is a reason to go and do business in the us because you have an internal market in the
so let's not fool ourselves that we will establish an internal market and suddenly our start ups will be in the same position as huawei or microsoft or whoever.
that we need to evolve it yes in fact only thirty five of the internal market is really open.
final two remarks on climate change and again this is just a sign that on climate change we have an ability to work across the political spectrum.
we need to have a fair environment inside and the question is do we have the courage and the willingness to go and establish a true internal market and not at thirty five but.
i mean this is absolutely key but we still are failing in this respect.
we should be tackling the cause of these the cause of the concerns and also the concerns of those that we have lost somewhere in the process of globalisation.
we need twenty eight still.
in my view that is the way forward but this is a very important step in the right direction.
it's about making sure that we conduct proper screening security checks and process in an orderly manner all those who arrive here seeking international protection.
these words were attributed to the first president of the free czechoslovakia vclav havel and the great success of european integration the removal of the internal borders rests on having strong external borders.
thanks also to the commissioner for this excellent proposal.
proper border protection is also crucial to fight the influx of counterfeit products narcotics weapons and other items and substances that we do not want in the european union.
it's not about turning away people it is primarily about exercising control over the flows of people going in and out of the union.
the edf will on one side enhance europe's strategic autonomy in supporting the development of key defence capabilities but on the other it will help increase the efficiency of public spending on defence by increasing cooperation.
this approach as you know is not specific or unique to defence.
no based on competition with a clear eubased governance. this was an important element for the commission as of course the eu budget is involved here. as supported by parliament the commission will directly implement the fund. second we collectively maintained and even strengthened the question of the eligibility of the fund and here the rule is very clear we will only finance eu based companies companies which respect clear security conditions so the security of supply security of information and no transfer of knowledge from europe.
however we are just setting the conditions for participation to make sure that europe's interests are preserved. these conditions as i keep repeating are similar if not identical to the ones eu companies are facing when doing rd in third countries.
caps. the edf is not only for the big defence industrial groups it is also for the smaller actors across europe.
as asked by parliament the commission will issue guidance on the ethics to applicants and to the independent experts that will carry out the ethics screenings and assessment.
with specific bonuses we hope to open up the defence supply chain.
the fund also clearly excludes actions for the development of lethal autonomous weapons without human control.
so first eu rules will apply;
we are not excluding anybody from our alliance;
thanks very much all of you.
with the edf we are using the eu budget to co finance defence industrial projects incentivising cooperation in defence increasing the competitiveness and innovative potential of the european defence industry enhancing europe's technological autonomy and ultimately positioning europe as a true security provider of course not in
it is a very unique competence of the member states and we will not change it in any way through this regulation.
what i want to say is that by no means was this an easy file to be agreed upon by all of us by all three european institutions and again i would like to thank all of you who really with great devotion tried to find a good solution to different difficult aspects of this file.
the treaty here is very clear we discussed it a lot.
mr president this is my last speech in the session. i wanted just to take the opportunity to say thank you to you and to your staff and to the interpreters for their assistance over this session and to record my frustration at the extraordinary fact that three years after the brexit referendum two years after an election in which eighty five of mps were returned promising to uphold its result
the directive establishes sound supervision for covered bonds as well and sets out the rules allowing the use of the european covered bonds' labels.
as promised during the trilogues and set out in the commission's statement accompanying today's acts the commission is willing to amend the liquidity coverage ratio delegated act in order to cater for the specific situation of covered bonds.
for this purpose a declaration from the commission will be transmitted to the parliament before voting tomorrow.
so the commission proposal seeks to develop this market further by drawing on the high standards and good practices of national systems.
the new rules will establish a pan european covered bond market that supports lending to the real economy without disturbing already established and well functioning national markets.
these rules will help banks access a broad range of safe and efficient funding tools which in turn will allow them to finance companies and households.
it is a key building block of the capital markets union to encourage investment and lending in the eu.
they will boost the issuance of covered bonds also in member states where markets are less developed.
the new rules also set out to harmonise prudential rules for these instruments in order to contribute to financial stability.
we estimate that the potential saving for borrowers will be around eur.
and the second a regulation strengthens the conditions for granting preferential capital treatment to covered bonds purchased by banks.
so first the directive provides a common definition of covered bonds. it outlines the features of the instruments and it identifies the high quality assets that can be eligible to back a covered bond.
looking for new jobs we first of all look to our strengths and not to the strengths of the others. and then climate change.
so a democratic europe.
trade is key and the single market.
we spoke about the european way of life about democracy independence of our judiciary equal treatment of men and women and as a title freedom freedom of expression of religion of the press.
it's a question of right of initiative here in this house strengthening the investigation capacity of this house.
generally speaking i'm forty six years old.
this tells us don't look from an egoistic point to europe.
on a lot of fields where we need a stronger europe we have the problem of the unanimous vote.
we need a resettlement programme an ambitious one and we need a plan for africa with probably in the future also a commissioner for africa who combines all the efforts we need all the activities we do in regard to our neighbouring continent.
that is what we really enjoyed today thank you so much.
in the last five years what we managed what we have brought to the people of europe the success stories on management of the external border the millions of new jobs created with the juncker plan the sustainable growth and the front runner to be at the front on the question of the fight against climate change on a global level.
it is a great success for the country when it is about the investments which jeanclaude juncker mentioned and about the security feeling that latvians feel protected because they are part of this strong union of the european union and it is about russia and the external threats towards us.
that's why the methods must be changed.
the second point you mentioned is about the concrete issues on the table. the answers on the demand the questions the concerns of the people.
i'm the first generation of this continent who can say that i live all over europe in peace and freedom.
and finally the future of europe means that we have to protect the essence of europe.
we all know what we speak about.
all these things are on the agenda but when we are speaking about the future of europe you also have to be frank because one thing is the content the political approach but the other is the method how we come to results and you know the problems.
the implementation of the rules must be checked also by this institution and krijnis i'm really grateful that you support the idea of the spitzenkandidat the idea that you have to show up before the elections to tell people i'm a candidate from all the parties in this house and we have programmes and we ask for this support'.
now you have a privileged position in the council. you have a seat in the council and you can be a strong voice for really going forward moving forward and ending this barrier.
how great it has been to serve the european citizens in this house which happens to be the only democratically elected institution of the european architecture and of course to take the occasion to wish everybody the very best
madam president it will only be a minute because this is the final vote of an important piece of european law the visa code serving the area of liberty justice and security and with this occasion it is customary here to take the occasion before the plenary with all of the members sitting here to express gratitude
with all of my heart and to say publicly that it's been my honour to work with you all for the past five years. thank you all dear colleagues thank you all.
it's not perfect and when voters are telling us that something is wrong we need to listen to the voters.
this is security of our information the information environment our citizens are living with and as i said previously i think it's time to consider seriously legislation to look at the responsibility of social media platforms concerning the dissemination of false and misleading information which is a hamper to our democratic development.
whether it's about their jobs whether it's about immigration whether it's about the climate whether it's about security these issues are real.
all nations in europe on the world stage are small but united we're like that bundle of sticks that cannot be broken and we can take our way of life our idea of free trade and push it on other markets not have them push themselves onto us.
this has to be done because when we strengthen the outer borders we can keep the internal borders open and not hamper the single market.
this is in our power.
you don't get to the votes and then you really turn so i won't do that.
we do this in a peaceful way.
i have lots of notes that i'll be processing in the next while.
let the market in deregulate prices green energy will take off smart technological solutions will take off consumers will participate and the market will help us make this transition.
first of all as a former mep i want to thank each and every one of you for the opportunity the pleasure and the honour that i had of working with you.
this is not something that anyone should ever need to experience.
we have a key way to unlock economic growth within the eu and this is the simple thing called the single market.
the populists are being listened to because people are unhappy.
we need to work as a union to strengthen ourselves as a member of the nato alliance.
many of you are saying that this is your last speech in parliament but for me i can say this is my first speech in parliament as prime minister.
we can work forward in the future as a union of sovereign and independent nations not giving up one square centimetre of our national identity or pride or languages but pulling together to fight and to pull as one.
like the bundle of sticks.
so i'm very pleased about that indeed.
colleagues we don't need necessarily to fight the populists.
there is no contradiction.
the past almost ten years and also this past term has been a tremendous time for me even getting a little emotional it seems but i really want to thank all of you for the great cooperation.
but we also have real answers to these.
we need to address the root causes remind them that as a union we are stronger.
and regarding our common security i see no contradiction between membership in nato my country is and stronger eu security and defence cooperation.
but what i do want to do is to say a couple of things.
we are a union of values freedom democracy and the rule of law. as a latvian i can say that we know what it means to live without freedom to live without democracy and to live without the rule of law.
what we need to do is to tear down the barriers of the single market within the eu to create the environment so that our own companies national companies can grow to become european companies can grow to be real tough and successful players on the international stage.
we can have a clever transition to clean energies again the key is to make sure that market forces are at play.
the topics security energy cohesion agriculture immigration money laundering social justice china eu russia etc.
we can address the tough issue of immigration by strengthening our outer borders.
i think if i truly tried to answer them my second speech would even be longer than my first.
we have a great responsibility which is to take the values of freedom democracy the rule of law with the single market and to move it forward.
but in terms of our security we need to go one step further than military security.
we do it through debate.
we don't need to say no everything is fine you're wrong. no we need to listen to them because people have real concerns.
you take any one stick you break it break it break it like our little nations.
what are the parameters for defining the substantive distinctive and genuine character that are required for a group's political statement regarding the common political orientation?
once again at the end of the parliamentary term and in a hurry we witness an attempt to change the rules about group formation definitely a most sensitive issue.
twenty six and two hundred and twenty seven the interpretation we are going to vote on today is in fact a full amendment to the rules of procedure.
the president of parliament alone or with the consent of the conference of presidents? by majority by consensus?
who decides whether these are respected?
this vote is a real attack on the heart of the concept of democracy and i strongly ask you to join me in rejecting that. say no to this interpretation.
this is the last attempt to have an old proposal adopted by simple majority. this is precisely what is required for interpretation.
indeed the proposed text raises new crucial legal questions which would remain open giving rise not only to different interpretations but also to highly discretionary assessments.
so having clear targets on public procurement in clean vehicles will really facilitate this.
so yes local levels are ready to engage.
to note continued strong support in the european parliament for this proposal.
last june in two thousand and eighteen a group of leading industry representatives abb alstom edf skoda solaris ursus and others sent an open letter to the council asking for higher ambition than that proposed by the commission and confirming that they are ready to deliver.
that's exactly what we need. at the same time it is a very realistic one and it is in line with the market forecasts. i think it is important to recall that major city networks police eurocity then local governments for sustainability the council of european municipalities and regions have recently written to the european parliament and to the romanian presidency expressing full support
so we have encouragement on both sides on the demand and on the supply side.
many leading cities are indeed already going beyond the requirements and many have committed to using only zero emission buses already in the next five to ten years.
but we are ready to engage and pool orders and they can then together negotiate a better price with the industry.
where financial support is needed we are ready to use existing instruments such as efsi esif cef as well as similar future instruments to help facilitate the transition to low and zero emission mobility.
this has allowed us to complete the process in time for this parliament to adopt the text before the recess.
but total lifecycle costs are already close to those of conventional vehicles and are expected to become even lower within the time frame of the proposal's targets and with the growing demand.
together with other elements of the mobility package one two and three the revised directive will play an important role in helping us achieve the substantive emission reductions in the transport sector that are required in order to comply with our obligations under the paris cop twenty one agreement and beyond. adopting it under this parliament will ensure a timely contribution to these objectives by as early
the aim of the directive is to encourage other cities to follow this example while recognising that many small and medium sized cities might not yet have the resources and expertise of amsterdam or paris.
yes this package this proposal is an ambitious one.
let me just recall the instrument for electrical buses that is being used by many of the european cities already.
two thousand and twenty five but before i conclude allow me a couple of comments based on your comments.
for the commission's proposal.
will address identified problems or blockages will contribute to free and fair movement of workers and will ensure trust certainty and social fairness and a level playing field for all workers.
we do not agree that frontier workers can choose which social security system they will benefit from.
in alde we believe that the original commission proposal is a decent attempt at achieving an improved regime.
but if they are not accepted we believe it will not deliver balanced and fair legislation.
the draft agreement at trilogue had a number of positive elements but the council could not support it.
this would cause huge uncertainty for member states and undermine the social contract between crossborder workers and national workers.
down in the basement the garage providing cars driving farage or brok valero regner danti who always said go fast avanti;
not only to the many friends they can be women can be gents but also to those working here behind the bar serving us beer;
and then at last those who translate the speeches that we love or hate they struggle now with all my rhymes but i will end and then the times will change you will agree so danke thank you and merci.
i looked it up i could not find the paragraph you have in mind for one last speech here in this room before the shovel and the broom clears out the work we left behind it sometimes almost made us blind.
' the cleaning women those who check the badges and they never lack the courtesy that we so cherish it will remain will never perish.
madam president i need one minute. you will not regret it and i say it's a challenge for the interpreters.
distributing the voting list assisting us to find the gist;
but what i actually want to say is thank you thank you if i may;
there was no consolidated european borders agency no hot spots or an operational presence on the ground at the eu level.
one of my key proposals an essential element of a comprehensive migration policy. we have not only created but also installed and strengthened the european border and coast guard in record time with our joint work and efforts.
our information systems did not talk to each other and our approach in engaging with third countries was fragmented.
when the crisis as you all remember peaked in europe in the summer of two thousand and fifteen europe was taken by surprise and was not prepared.
this means that they will carry out border management and return tasks in their own right.
the agency will also help to ensure that those that are not in need of international protection are returned in full respect i repeat of fundamental rights.
while remaining under the authority of the host member states some of the tasks will include the possibility to check identity documents to authorise or refuse entry at border crossing points
all of the activities of the european border and coast guard agency and the member states' competent authorities will respect the fundamental rights enshrined in the charter.
the operational staff of the standing corps will also receive common training to ensure that the highest professional standards are applied and respected and a common operational culture is developed among the staff.
i welcome also many other developments agreed by the co legislators as part of this regulation such as streamlining of the monitoring of the fundamental rights within the agency's operational activities.
two thousand and twenty seven however we will be able to observe the first deployments already on one january.
and reinforced migration border and security information systems which are progressively becoming interoperable.
this aimed to improve the attractiveness of the agency as an employer to ensure timely recruitment of statutory staff.
the compromise will ensure that the agency can better and more actively support the member states in the area of return in order to improve the european union's response to persisting migratory challenges.
the respect of fundamental rights is at the heart of all commission initiatives including this one.
