Madame la Présidente, Monsieur le Commissaire, nous devons collectivement, ici et maintenant, être au rendez-vous des besoins de l’Ukraine et des Ukrainiens. Nous devons nourrir les réfugiés, nourrir leurs enfants, les éduquer, les éduquer aussi à rebâtir leur pays. Nous devons envoyer de la nourriture en Ukraine. Nous devons aussi aider l’Ukraine, comme cela a été demandé hier, à faire ses récoltes. Il est important que nous mettions en place les couloirs verts qui ont été demandés et que nous fournissions tous les produits pour aider l’Ukraine à manger. Cette guerre a des conséquences dans notre Union et elle révèle nos faiblesses. Cette guerre révèle notre dépendance énergétique. Elle révèle aussi notre dépendance vis-à-vis de pays tiers pour la nourriture animale. Il est important que nous gagnions en souveraineté en investissant. Nous le devons à l’Ukraine et au monde.

Señora presidenta, nuestro sector pesquero se enfrenta en estos momentos a una situación también dramática: los precios de los combustibles y de la logística están disparados e impiden que la flota salga a faenar. La Unión Europea debe adoptar soluciones ambiciosas de manera urgente para mitigar el impacto económico en la pesca y la acuicultura de la trágica guerra de Ucrania. El umbral de las ayudas de Estado, las conocidas como «ayudas  En cualquier caso, las soluciones no deben venir exclusivamente de Bruselas. Los Gobiernos de los Estados miembros tienen también la responsabilidad de apoyar a la cadena mar-industria en estos momentos realmente críticos.

La réponse est la même face à ces deux responsabilités: produire en Europe, conformément aux règles, aux standards et aux normes que nous avons définis. Je crois qu’il n’y a pas de contradiction, cela a été dit par plusieurs intervenants, entre cette fonction nourricière et une politique agricole qui contribue évidemment à la transition écologique. Les agriculteurs sont les premiers acteurs de la lutte contre le changement climatique, et je crois qu’il n’y a pas de choix européen à faire entre ces deux impératifs. Il faut sans doute discuter – ce sera aussi évoqué au cours du Conseil européen et des conseils des ministres de l’agriculture, à nouveau – des ajustements pragmatiques, le cas échéant, pour tenir compte de la crise que nous vivons, de la guerre et de ses conséquences sur l’Europe et sur le monde. C’est dans cet esprit que le président de la République portera une initiative européenne et internationale au nom de la France, au nom de la présidence, pour que nous coordonnions, comme nous l’avons fait en matière de vaccins et de dispositifs médicaux lors de la crise de la COVID-19, des gestes et des actions de solidarité internationale pour s’assurer que des pays, parfois proches de l’Europe, ne se retrouvent pas dans des situations désastreuses et dramatiques, qui seraient d’ailleurs aussi lourdes de conséquences pour notre Europe dans les prochaines semaines et dans les prochains mois. Je relève pour finir que, puisque nous avons parlé d’alimentation, cela concerne évidemment le secteur de l’agriculture, mais aussi la question de la pêche, qui a été soulevée par plusieurs intervenants, et qui nécessite que nous ayons, face à cette crise également, des dispositifs de soutien et d’accompagnement. Et au nom du Conseil, Monsieur le Commissaire, comme cela a été fait encore il y a quarante-huit heures, je ne saurais que trop encourager la Commission à surveiller l’ensemble des dispositifs que nous devrons mobiliser, et à aller, le cas échéant, plus loin que les premières mesures déjà prises pour soutenir à la fois notre agriculture et notre pêche dans l’Union européenne.

Totul în jurul nostru este influențat de războiul din Ucraina, de la combustibil la îngrășăminte, conflictul Rusia-Ucraina tulbură piețele. Acest război și sancțiunile legitime impuse Rusiei au dus deja la o perturbare de mare amploare a piețelor mondiale agricole. Mai mult decât atât, din cauza bombardamentelor rusești asupra porturilor de la Marea Neagră, comerțul cu alimente devine aproape imposibil.  Uniunea Europeană, fără întârziere, trebuie să ofere un sprijin financiar suplimentar sectorului agricol, pentru a-i ajuta pe fermieri să atenueze lipsa importurilor din Ucraina și Rusia. De asemenea, este nevoie de reevaluarea strategiei  Uniunea Europeană trebuie să fie un lider, să asigure securitatea alimentară atât a Europei, cât și a țărilor în curs de dezvoltare și cu venituri mici, care sunt în special expuse riscului de criză alimentară.

Para tal, os nossos sistemas agrícolas e de pesca devem tornar-se mais sustentáveis e virados para o futuro, visando diminuir a dependência de importações e aumentar a produção doméstica. Devemos reduzir a dependência de combustíveis fósseis e de fertilizantes, procurando alternativas, mas garantindo sempre a proteção dos nossos agricultores, nomeadamente através da Política Agrícola Comum.  Neste sentido, devemos tomar partido das medidas já planeadas e adotadas a nível europeu como o Pacto Ecológico Europeu e as Estratégias da UE para a Biodiversidade e do Prado ao Prato que contribuirão para a mitigação desta crise e redução da incerteza nos setores afetados. Na resolução desta crise, deveremos manter os fluxos comerciais alimentares em todas as regiões europeias, nomeadamente aquelas que, pela sua distância da plataforma continental, podem ser desproporcionalmente afetadas, como as regiões ultraperiféricas.

Incluo-me, portanto, naqueles que defendem que deve ser acionado o Mecanismo de Proteção Civil da UE. Na vertente humanitária, sem dúvida, mas também para tentar prevenir riscos que adivinhamos para a segurança alimentar da UE, que possam resultar de uma escalada ou do prolongamento desta guerra. É, por isso, avisado a UE ter um plano de ação capaz de assegurar as cadeias de abastecimento, recorrendo a "corredores alimentares" por via marítima, ferroviária ou rodoviária, acelerando ao mesmo tempo medidas com impacto no setor agrícola.

Przede wszystkim powinniśmy tymczasowo zwiększyć produkcję w Europie tak bardzo, jak tylko jest to możliwe, abyśmy nie byli podatni na szoki rynkowe wynikające z niedoboru produktów rolnych, ale także abyśmy mogli eksportować zboże na Ukrainę, jeśli działania wojenne uniemożliwią zebranie plonów w tym roku.  Chcę podkreślić, że działania te nie mają na celu uniezależnienia się od importu zbóż i oleju z Ukrainy w przyszłości, gdyż jest to kraj z ogromnym potencjałem rolnym. Rolnictwo stanowi ważną gałąź gospodarki ukraińskiej i musimy o tym pamiętać, kiedy przyjdzie czas odbudowy tego kraju. Putin jest tego świadomy, dlatego wydał rozkaz minowania pól, aby skazać obywateli Ukrainy na głód i zdestabilizować rynek zbóż w sąsiedztwie. Nie pozwólmy mu na to!

Op korte termijn pleit ik zeker voor een uitzondering voor het circulaire gebruik van verwerkte dierlijke mest, om afhankelijkheid van dure kunstmest uit derde landen te drukken. Ook een alomvattende Europese eiwitstrategie om onze veeteelt verder te verduurzamen en minder afhankelijk te maken, dringt zich op.  De coronacrisis heeft getoond dat het EU-landbouwbeleid werkt: terwijl we moesten smeken om mondmaskers, paracetamol en chips, bleven de rekken in de supermarkten wel vol. Vandaag wordt eens te meer duidelijk dat voedselproductie een strategische sector is. Als we nu niet snel de klik maken en onze boeren soigneren om die voedselproductie hoog en kwalitatief te houden, dan moeten we binnenkort misschien niet alleen werk maken van een EU-chipverordening, maar ook van een EU-voedselverordening.

But together we’re paving the way for the future of European finance with this initiative. Digital innovation is becoming ever more important, and again, I am pleased that this House shares the commitment of the Commission to support innovation within the regulated space. As you know, this regulation forms a key part of our digital agenda and ensures that EU financial services legislation is fit for the digital age. We are providing regulatory certainty to pioneer the use of distributed ledger technology in financial services. So briefly, I want to mention some of the key elements of the agreed regulation.  The digital representation of financial instruments on distributed ledgers is expected to open opportunities for efficiency improvements in trading and post-trading processes. The issuance of traditional asset classes in tokenised form will enable them to be issued, stored and transferred on a distributed ledger, which will also increase efficiency. With this regulation, the European Union is opening up to the use of DLT in existing financial market infrastructures such as investment firms, market operators and central securities depositories.  In concrete terms, it will allow for targeted exemptions from existing rules where those rules would pose technical obstacles to achieving the full benefit of DLT. As regards supervision, national competent authorities will remain in charge for authorisation, while the European Securities and Markets Authorities (ESMA) can issue an opinion on application. An explanation would be needed if national competent authorities decide to deviate significantly. And last but not least, consumer protection. DLT operators will have to put in place mechanisms to handle client complaints and compensation.  In the trilogues, I know that it was especially important for Parliament to ensure a level playing field, and a significant role for ESMA. I’m glad that we were able to find good solutions and significantly improve the Commission proposal in these areas. The pilot regime is, by its nature, temporary. It will last five years. This will allow market participants to safely experiment with the DLT to issue, trade and settle securities. This experience will inform future policymaking in digital finance and could open the door to more policy initiatives.  Before I finish, I want to thank again the rapporteur and all of the shadow rapporteurs, because this is groundbreaking work and I look forward to our debate.

I would like to start by thanking the negotiation team under the leadership of Johan Van Overtveldt for the great cooperation on this file. By early on agreeing on several core principles, we made a good proposal even better. The DLT pilot regime is an important step in the work to make Europe fit for the digital age. European rules must be innovation-friendly, and this agreement is a good example of sound European lawmaking. As we never know what the future will bring, we should allow experimenting to see what potential benefits new technology might have. And I believe DLT could indeed bring several improvements to how financial markets function. But we will, of course, not know if we don’t try. We have managed several successes in this work. First of all, legal certainty for market participants wanting to try new technologies. Also expanding the scope and thresholds will make it more attractive to participants in general. And this is crucial in ensuring the usefulness of this pilot regime. If no one tries, we cannot identify the shortcomings. If we want to use this pilot regime to identify potential changes to the existing rule book, we have to ensure that enough actors participate. I believe it bodes well for future legislation as well, that both in the European Parliament and in trilogues, we so easily agreed on the principle of technology neutrality. Furthermore, by making use of EFMA’s expertise in the annual reports, both market participants and regulators will get a better understanding of the progress of functioning, which I believe will be crucial in the coming years. In many ways, this agreement is not only a good example of a European Union that understands that we have to be open to new things and internationally competitive: it is an example of a European Union that also acts on these facts. That gives me a lot of inspiration for the further work.

The distributed ledger technology (DLT) pilot regime is yet another good proof that Europe is the continent for digital finance. With the pilot regime, Europe will be a pioneer on the use of blockchain on the financial markets. And with this pilot regime, innovative financing solutions for SMEs will be developed in Europe. So with the pilot regime, disruption will shape the future of the financial markets with no concessions on financial stability and on consumer protection. In that case, Renew fully supports the trilogue agreement and we hope for swift progress on the rest of the digital finance package.

Les seules conséquences avérées à l’absurde limitation des registres électroniques distribués – autrement dit des chaînes de blocs – seront de permettre à la Chine, aux États-Unis ou à d’autres de nous dominer technologiquement et économiquement, comme on l’a vu pour le nuage de données – je veux parler du cloud. On ne doit pas entrer dans un millénarisme de la décroissance, mais faire confiance dans la capacité de l’homme à innover, à s’adapter et à se dépasser.

Let me be clear; this is not opposition to innovation or technological advances. It is opposition to irresponsibility and to industry lobbying leading to a pilot project spiralling into what would be, effectively, an exercise in deregulation.

Señora presidenta, señora comisaria, en primer lugar, y dado el amplio apoyo que ha concitado la propuesta de Reglamento sobre un régimen piloto para desarrollar infraestructuras digitales, quería felicitar al conjunto de los ponentes y muy especialmente a Eva Kaili, la ponente alternativa de mi grupo.  Y me gustaría también aprovechar este debate —a la vez que agradecemos ese amplio acuerdo para esta propuesta de Reglamento— para lamentar que no haya habido un acuerdo similar para la aprobación del Reglamento MICA hace apenas unos días en la Comisión ECON y que, además, esa comisión, o la derecha en esa comisión, haya bloqueado el debate en el Pleno sobre el Reglamento MICA, porque ese Reglamento exigía, en nuestra opinión, un debate claro en este Parlamento, especialmente en estos momentos y después de escuchar el debate previo sobre los efectos de la invasión de Rusia en Ucrania. Porque esas tecnologías, esas monedas digitales, tienen un consumo energético brutal; esas tecnologías se están usando para blanquear capitales, para blanquear movimientos de capitales. Y espero que en el diálogo tripartito ambos requisitos puedan ser incorporados en la negociación entre el Parlamento y el Consejo.

But what really strikes me, getting back to our debate here this evening, is the unity of purpose amongst you, the rapporteur and the shadows, and also your leadership, Mr Van Overtveldt, is deeply appreciated, because this is a first. And I think it’s good to be involved in something that is a first, but also it is not a free-for-all. It is a first with conditionality. We have to test something to see does it work before we make any more decisions. So it’s been really good to hear this debate here this evening. I very much look forward to the vote in this House tomorrow. And in terms of deregulation, I’m on record, I think, in one of my first interventions in this Parliament as Commissioner responsible for financial services, that deregulation is not on my agenda, but effective, better regulation is: innovation and technology is part of that. Lastly, if I may say that I had the great pleasure of meeting a group of young people today. They were young leaders, in fact, from Northern Ireland, and they were in the Commission, and it was absolutely impressive to hear them talk about cryptocurrencies, this technology and what young people are doing. So it’s really important that we in this House are involved in this, because the future is digital and young people are not starting from where we start from. They’re already there. So well done to all of you for your work, for your cooperation, and for being part of what is a first.

Ustawodawstwo i nadzór ostrożnościowy w całym świecie dopiero dostosowuje się do nowych realiów. Unia Europejska – często kojarzona z nadmiarem biurokracji i ociężałością administracyjną – zyskuje więc szansę, by przez przyjazną legislacją „przyciągnąć” rynki finansów cyfrowych i rozbudować tę gałąź gospodarki. Jest to tym ważniejsze, że pojęcia wolnego rynku i swobody wyboru narodziły się właśnie w Europie: powinniśmy być naturalnym liderem w tym wyścigu.  Program pilotażowy DLT jest otwarciem drogi dla bezpiecznego i kontrolowanego obrotu kryptoaktywami. Oczywiście, w tej dziedzinie naturalnym przedmiotem naszej troski jest zjawisko prania pieniędzy, któremu chcemy za wszelką cenę przeciwdziałać. Dlatego równolegle do wprowadzanych ułatwień musimy finalizować pracę nad pakietem AML.
