Senhora Presidente, o que estamos hoje aqui a debater não é apenas a lei do aborto no Texas. É o retrocesso civilizacional que atinge o modelo das nossas sociedades, e que o atinge naquilo que tem de mais sagrado: a proteção dos direitos humanos. Os direitos das mulheres são direitos humanos, caro Colega Gahler. A decisão de restringir para seis semanas o prazo para a interrupção voluntária da gravidez, inclusive em caso de violação, quando todos sabemos da clara dificuldade de identificar este estado e tomar decisão nesse prazo apenas serve para colocar em risco a vida das mulheres, penalizando sobretudo as mulheres de grupos populacionais mais vulneráveis.  Mas esta lei não fica por aqui. Incentiva algo absolutamente deplorável e nojento nas nossas sociedades: incentiva a denúncia pelo prémio. Não podemos ficar em silêncio quando está em causa o direito das mulheres à saúde sexual e reprodutiva e à dignidade, seja no Texas, seja na Polónia ou em qualquer parte do mundo.  A decisão de suspender a aplicação desta lei decorre da mais elementar defesa dos direitos humanos. Não podemos abrandar na solidariedade com as mulheres no Texas e outras partes do mundo afetadas por este tipo de fundamentalismos.

Fru talman! Fru kommissionär, ärade kollegor! Nu har det konstitutionella rättsväsendet i USA vaknat till liv och meddelat att denna förfärliga abortlagstiftning tillfälligt stoppas.  Låt oss nu då hoppas att Högsta domstolen också vaknar till liv från sin konservativa dvala och inser att förbjuda abort är inte bara en kränkning av kvinnors mänskliga rättigheter, men också rätt korkat för att vara ärlig. Kvinnor har i alla tidsåldrar på olika sätt hittat sätt att göra sig av med en oönskad graviditet. Att förbjuda abort är egentligen att förbjuda en säker abort för kvinnors hälsa, ingenting annat.  Låt mig säga detta en gång till. Kvinnans rätt att få bestämma över den egna kroppen är en mänsklig rättighet. Det är ingen åsiktsfråga, det är ingen förhandlingsfråga.  Men låt oss inte för en sekund tro att detta bara pågår någon annanstans. Det pågår även här i vår union och i det här huset. För ett par veckor sedan samlades Visegradländerna för ett toppmöte där det var fritt fram att lägga ansvaret för kontinentens överlevnad på oss livmoderbärare. Jag betackar mig för det och säger: Håll tassarna borta från vår rätt att få bestämma över våra egna kroppar. Min livmoder är inte skyldig dig, eller dig, eller någon annan, någonting.

Signora Presidente, onorevoli colleghi, signora Commissaria, i governi reazionari ed eversivi, lo sappiamo, attaccano sempre i diritti di tutti e di ciascuno. Ma iniziano sempre, e ce lo insegna la storia, dai diritti delle donne. Ai reazionari non piace che le donne siano libere, ai reazionari non piace che le donne possano scegliere, che si tratti della loro carriera, dei loro amori, del loro corpo, e sì, della loro vita. Questa legge liberticida, giustamente sospesa in attesa del vaglio di costituzionalità, è un esempio di quello che può succedere e infine un monito, che ci dice come noi non possiamo, nemmeno qui, nemmeno nella nostra Unione europea, mai abbassare la guardia. Noi, colleghe, lo sapete, lo sappiamo, lottiamo ogni giorno anche qui per difendere le donne e i loro diritti fondamentali e siamo ancora pronte a offrire il nostro aiuto alle donne e anche agli uomini texani, che vogliono vivere in uno Stato di diritto, dove le loro libertà siano garantite e dove non si torni più al Medioevo e alla caccia alle streghe.

Senhora Presidente, 60 mil mulheres morrem todos os anos no mundo na sequência de complicações associadas a abortos ilegais. É disso que estamos a falar.  A nova lei do aborto do Texas, que um juiz federal ontem bloqueou a pedido do Departamento de Justiça e do Presidente Biden, veio retirar às mulheres o acesso a procedimentos médicos, legais, seguros e, pior: esta lei incentiva um chocante policiamento social, premiando quem denuncia a prática de um aborto ilegal com recompensas monetárias na ordem dos 10.000 dólares. É arrepiante. Todos os envolvidos podem ser acusados: o médico que realiza o aborto, o motorista que transporta a mulher e a clínica, naturalmente. O que se passa no Texas é uma afronta aos direitos humanos. Não somos antiamericanos, Senhor Deputado, muito pelo contrário, somos solidários com todas as mulheres americanas do Texas, como somos com as brasileiras, com as peruanas e muitas outras mulheres do mundo, sempre, até que a voz nos doa.

Signora Presidente, onorevoli colleghi, signora Commissaria, le interruzioni volontarie di gravidanza dovrebbero essere ovunque accessibili e sicure e questo Parlamento lo ha riconosciuto più volte, definendo l'interferenza nell'accesso all'aborto come una grave violazione dei diritti umani. La legge texana depriva le donne della possibilità di decidere in autonomia sulla propria salute riproduttiva e sul proprio corpo. La disposizione più subdola permette persino a privati cittadini di diventare dei vigilanti, denunciare chiunque aiuti o agevoli un aborto, con taglie fino a 10 000 dollari. Questo dimostra che questa legge non ha nulla a che vedere con la scienza, con l'etica, con la salute e con i diritti, ma con il potere e il controllo dell'autonomia corporea delle donne che si vuole schiacciare ed eliminare. Questa disposizione limita poi, peraltro, l'applicazione all'ambito civile, elude quindi il rischio di una dichiarazione di incostituzionalità ai danni dello Stato di diritto e sta già aprendo, purtroppo, a un triste percorso per altri Stati antiabortisti anche nella nostra Europa. Come possiamo stare a guardare in silenzio, mentre governi ultraconservatori di uno dei nostri principali partner alleati spogliano le donne dei propri diritti fondamentali? Dobbiamo unirci quindi con forza a tutti coloro che denunciano questo assalto senza precedenti ai diritti riproduttivi e mettere in moto tutti i nostri strumenti diplomatici per fermare l'erosione della libertà e dell'autonomia delle donne, perché di questo si parla: libertà, autonomia e difesa dei diritti umani.

Ensuring the full enjoyment of sexual and reproductive health and rights means enabling women and girls to make decisions about their bodies free from discrimination, coercion and violence. In relation to health services, the EU supports the promotion, protection and fulfilment of rights to autonomy in decision making, as well as the right to informed consent and confidentiality.  The Texas Senate bill that you bring to our discussion table today restricts access to abortion services to as early as six weeks of pregnancy. Further, it makes no exceptions – no exceptions – for pregnancies resulting from incest or rape, which could have serious implications for the physical and mental health and well-being of the women affected.  This law, which went into effect on 1 September, has the potential of barring at least 85% of abortions from the State of Texas. It also uses a private enforcement scheme by tasking private individuals to bring loose lawsuits against anyone who provides or aids an abortion, in fact empowering complete strangers to interfere in the most private and personal health decisions of a woman.  The Commission and the High Representative trust that the US authorities will take all necessary steps to ensure that women in Texas have access to safe and legal abortions, and welcomes the Biden administration’s intent to launch a ‘whole—of—government’ effort to that end. As a matter of fact, there have been developments overnight in the ongoing legal proceedings, which have blocked the Texas law, forbidding Texas State court judges to accept suits under the Texas Senate bill. This is a welcome development. We also welcome the establishment of a Gender Policy Council to advance gender equity and equality by increasing access to health care, addressing health disparities and promoting sexual and reproductive health and rights, and acknowledge the Biden administration’s strong efforts to promote sexual and reproductive health and rights in the US and around the world. In our bilateral relations with the US, we engage in a comprehensive and open discussion on human rights, including on sexual and reproductive health rights in the US and the EU. In our action plans, the EU has committed to scaling up action to achieve and direct gender equality, and to protect and promote the full and equal enjoyment of all human rights by women and girls. We encourage our partners to adopt a similarly open and positive approach to this vital issue.

The next item is the debate on the report of by Anja Hazekamp, on behalf of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, and Herbert Dorfmann, on behalf of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development, on a farm to fork strategy for a fair, healthy and environmentally friendly food system (

Language: EN

I am grateful to the Commission for delivering the farm to fork strategy. This prelude to crucial changes in our legislation and policy did not come a day too soon. Its goals and ambitions are necessary to transform our thinking and our actions with regard to food. I am also grateful to my colleagues in the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety and the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development and, in particular, Mr Herbert Dorfmann, my fellow rapporteur, for their dedication to working on our response to this strategy. We have discussed our positions, our ideas and proposals for the future development of the strategy in an open and inclusive process. And I am proud of the result.  It is no secret that I believe that our joint response could, and should, have been far more ambitious on many issues, but our report offers hope. Hope for a liveable future in which the foods that we consume will no longer be produced at the expense of future generations. They too will need food security. By setting targets for the use of pesticides and promoting the development of environmentally friendly alternatives, we can halt the decline of crucial pollinators, such as bees. By strengthening the animal welfare legislation, we can reduce the worst suffering that goes on behind the closed doors of barns, trucks, ships and slaughterhouses. By investing in a transition to a more plant—based diet, we can spare animals the suffering, fight food—related disease, save precious farmland and biodiversity, and limit the climate impact of what is on our plates. By providing food with clear labels and a fair and true price, we can enable consumers to make more informed choices for the environment, animals and their own health. The sustainable choice must be the most affordable one. Crucially, the EU’s farm to fork strategy must create a path for a common food policy which achieves policy coherence. For example, we cannot truly restore biodiversity or successfully achieve a protein transition while we are still heavily subsidising the intensive animal agriculture industry and signing free trade agreements (FTAs) that directly contradict these goals. By extending the rules we set for food to imported products, we protect our farmers from unfair competition. By investing in and sharing knowledge, we enable farmers to produce more sustainably and by redirecting the very significant agricultural funds to support truly sustainable agricultural practices, we will encourage the preservation of small farms that work with nature. With these proposals, I am convinced that our report offers a good starting point for the Commission to shape the legislative proposals that it has announced. I look forward to our continued work on aligning our food system with the planetary boundaries.

Riteniamo tuttavia, cara Commissaria, che il raggiungimento degli obiettivi della strategia "Farm to Fork" non possa prescindere dalla nostra politica commerciale. L'Unione dovrà giocare un ruolo da protagonista nella transizione globale verso standard produttivi basati sul rispetto dei diritti umani e dei lavoratori, equa concorrenza e protezione ambientale.  Serve quindi una vera reciprocità degli standard per tutti i prodotti importati nell'Unione. Dobbiamo scongiurare il rischio che la strategia "Farm to Fork" riduca il nostro potenziale produttivo, aprendo le porte a importazioni che per nulla contribuirebbero agli obiettivi che si pone. Chiediamo inoltre capitoli vincolanti sullo sviluppo sostenibile in tutti i nostri accordi commerciali. Le dichiarazioni di questa mattina da parte della Commissione, inoltre, ci lasciano insoddisfatti. Serve infatti una valutazione ex ante dell'impatto combinato di tutti i target e di proposte proporzionali al raggiungimento di tali obiettivi, che salvaguardino la competitività dei nostri produttori. Una competitività che dovrà basarsi anche su un passo in avanti deciso da parte dell'Unione in materia di ricerca e innovazione, affinché i nostri produttori abbiano a disposizione alternative efficaci, a partire dalle biotecnologie sostenibili per produrre di più, in modo più rispettoso dell'ambiente e dei consumatori.

Ne nous laissons pas endormir par les propos éculés d’un autre temps, distillés par des lobbyistes conservateurs, prédicateurs de l’apocalypse alimentaire et agricole, dont les messages anxiogènes n’ont absolument aucun autre objectif que de préserver les intérêts de quelques-uns au détriment du climat, de la biodiversité, de notre santé, des paysans et donc au détriment du socle écologique robuste nécessaire à la construction d’un avenir digne et décent pour nos enfants. Nous avons donc le devoir de voter sans trembler les ambitions de cette stratégie et, le mois prochain, avec la même détermination, d’exiger la réécriture de la politique agricole commune pour que cette politique publique européenne majeure, centrale et stratégique soit au rendez-vous des ambitions salutaires du pacte vert.

Parce qu’ils sentent que le vent est en train de tourner et ils ont peur. Un nouveau paradigme, qui répond aux attentes citoyennes, est en train d’émerger. Ils ont donc peur d’être dépossédés d’une vache à lait qui s’appelle la PAC. Peur de perdre une part significative des 55 milliards d’euros de budget annuel de la PAC qui les enrichit tout en appauvrissant les paysans et l’environnement. Alors, j’applaudis ce texte, même imparfait, et appelle à son adoption large pour une alimentation saine, pour la biodiversité et le climat et pour les revenus des paysans, mais aussi pour montrer à nos citoyennes et citoyens que l’Europe peut se faire dans leur intérêt en répondant à leurs demandes, avec plus de transparence et pour plus de responsabilités des acteurs alimentaires. Je suis donc impatient de voir ce texte mis en œuvre dans les politiques européennes et particulièrement celle de la PAC à venir.

Hay que distinguir ese valor, protegerlo en los mercados con etiquetados, trazabilidad y control: es bueno para los consumidores y bueno para combatir la pesca ilegal, no declarada y no reglamentada. Hay que cuidar las agrupaciones profesionales como las cofradías de pescadores y permitirles acceder a las ayudas comunitarias. Olvidar acuicultura y pesca en esta Estrategia es una bofetada en la política pesquera común y una ofensa para quienes cada día trabajan en el mar para que nos alimentemos mejor.

Mein großer Dank gilt an dieser Stelle den Berichterstattern und Schattenberichterstattern für ihren Einsatz. Ich kann sagen: Ja, wir stehen vor einer Herkulesaufgabe beim Erreichen der Ziele der Strategie „Vom Hof auf den Tisch“. Die Ziele erreichen wir nur gemeinsam mit den Verbraucherinnen und Verbrauchern. Sie haben letztendlich eine Schlüsselrolle, denn mit unserem Einkaufs- und Konsumverhalten gestalten wir unsere Lebensmittelproduktion in Europa. Dieser Verantwortung können wir aber nur gerecht werden, wenn wir wissen, wie man sich gesund, ausgewogen und nachhaltig ernährt. Deshalb brauchen wir Verbraucheraufklärung und Verbraucherbildung, beginnend in der Kindertagesstätte. Sie sind essenziell für eine gesunde Lebensweise. Wir brauchen aber auch gute Informationen, damit wir beurteilen können, ob wir uns gesund und sicher ernähren. Dazu gehört ein Set an verpflichtenden Angaben. Ich habe zudem die Einführung eines QR-Codes vorgeschlagen, wodurch wir zusätzliche freiwillige Informationen erhalten können. Die Strategie „Vom Hof auf den Tisch“ setzt Anreize und ist keine Verbotsstrategie. Wir schicken eine klare Botschaft an unsere Verbraucher. Sie entscheiden letztendlich über den Wandel der Nachhaltigkeit. Sie bietet auch eine große Chance für unsere Landwirtschaft. Zwingend notwendig dafür sind aber Gesetzesfolgenabschätzungen. Sie sind eine notwendige vertrauensbildende Maßnahme. Frau Kommissarin, Vizepräsident Timmermans hat hier sämtliches Vertrauen verspielt. Mit dem Zurückhalten und dem Nichtveröffentlichen der Studie ist jegliches Vertrauen der Landwirtinnen und Landwirte, aber auch vieler von uns hier im Parlament zerstört worden. Wir brauchen die Informationen, und das Zurückhalten war ein Unding und hat vieles, vieles hier im Parlament zerstört.
