Madam President, the current political crisis unfolding in Burkina Faso is deeply concerning. The instability of the last few months has caused untold suffering to the people of Burkina Faso and led to a considerable loss of life. The appointment of military leader Damiba as president following a coup on 24 January, as well as the placing of elected President Kaboré under house arrest, raises serious questions about the state of democracy in the region.  Indeed, it is a worrying trend that Burkina Faso joins the ranks of six other African nations who have experienced a coup in the last 18 months. Attacks carried out by insurgents and terrorists, such as the November attack in which 53 police officers lost their lives, have become an all too familiar part of life in the country.  This humanitarian crisis has been ongoing for many years, and it is estimated that more than 1.6 million people have been displaced in the country since 2015. Recent events, however, have led to a dramatic escalation in political instability and human suffering. As EU leaders meet with representatives of the African Union this week in Brussels – a very important meeting – it is imperative that Europe works together with its partners in Africa to promote democratic processes across the continent. It is therefore essential that President Kaboré be released from house arrest and the elected government of Burkina Faso reinstated, to put a stop to this deepening political and humanitarian crisis. A reasonable timetable mapping the return to civilian rule must now be a priority for the region. The European Union should offer every assistance it can to its partners in Africa in this regard. Democracy is the only way forward for Burkina Faso. Hope we can get it.

Frau Präsidentin, Frau Kommissarin! Für Europa ist schnelles Handeln das Gebot der Stunde. Damit in Afrika nicht weiterhin Putsch auf Putsch folgt und es zu keinem Dominoeffekt kommt, muss die Europäische Union die gewaltsame Machtübernahme durch das Militär in Burkina Faso entschieden verurteilen und reagieren, aber auch dazu beitragen, die Ursachen für diese Entwicklung zu bekämpfen. Seit 2015 terrorisieren bewaffnete islamistische Gruppen die Bevölkerung mit Anschlägen. Tausende Menschen wurden bei gewalttätigen Angriffen in Burkina Faso getötet. Eineinhalb Millionen Menschen wurden vertrieben, vor allem ins Länderdreieck Burkina Faso, Mali und Niger. Diese Destabilisierung befeuert Unruhen und Proteste in der Zivilbevölkerung. Die lokalen Sicherheitskräfte konnten den Terroristen kaum etwas entgegensetzen. Unsicherheit und Angst vor dem islamistischen Terror erschüttern die gesamte Sahelzone und bereiten den Nährboden für antidemokratische Entwicklungen. Das Ergebnis: Mit Burkina Faso hat ein weiterer Staat Westafrikas den Pfad der Demokratie verlassen. Die neue Militärführung hat zwar eine Kommission für die Rückkehr zur verfassungsmäßigen Ordnung eingesetzt, jetzt aber müssen Taten folgen. Der inhaftierte Präsident Kaboré und weitere politische Gefangene müssen umgehend freigelassen werden, ein konkreter Zeitplan muss für freie Wahlen festgelegt werden.  Burkina Faso muss jede Unterstützung bekommen, um seine Bevölkerung vor den andauernden Terrorakten der Dschihadisten zu schützen, damit die Menschen nicht weiter vor Gewalt, Hunger und Perspektivlosigkeit flüchten müssen.

Pani Przewodnicząca! Pani Komisarz! Szanowni Państwo! Sytuacja w Burkina Faso jest dramatyczna. U władzy jest wojskowa junta, następuje eskalacja przemocy. Odnotowuje się tysiące ofiar śmiertelnych. Tylko w ubiegłym roku półtora miliona ludzi zostało wewnętrznie przesiedlonych – oni musieli zostawić cały swój dobytek. Wśród wewnętrznie przesiedlonych szczególnie narażone na przemoc i wykorzystywanie seksualne są dzieci i kobiety. Proszę zwrócić uwagę, że następuje wzrost przestępczego procederu, jakim jest handel ludźmi. To wszystko dzieje się w Burkina Faso w XXI wieku. Na skrajne ubóstwo narażone są kobiety.  Co należy zrobić? Przede wszystkim zwiększyć wsparcie finansowe i pomoc humanitarną, by zaspokoić najpilniejsze potrzeby. Ale czas, by Unia zaczęła działać, żeby wyciągnęła wnioski ze swoich zobowiązań, jeśli chodzi o stosowanie systemu kontroli i śledzenia eksportu broni. Ta junta ma broń, do której ma nieograniczony niestety dostęp, i stąd ta eskalacja przemocy.

Senhora Presidente, Senhora Comissária, reitero nesta câmara a minha firme condenação do golpe de Estado no Burquina Fasso, uma condenação que já manifestei enquanto presidente da Delegação do Parlamento Europeu à Assembleia Paritária ACP-UE, em diferentes instâncias. Saúdo as recentes decisões tomadas pela União Africana e pelos Chefes de Estado e de Governo da Comunidade Económica dos Estados da África Ocidental (CEDEAO) de suspender o Burquina Fasso de todos os seus órgãos e atividades até que a ordem constitucional seja restabelecida no país.  O presidente Kaboré e os membros do seu governo detidos devem ser imediata e incondicionalmente libertados. A junta militar deve preparar o rápido restabelecimento do exercício do pleno poder a um governo legítimo. A recente proclamação do responsável pelo golpe militar como presidente do país não pode afastar o Burquina Fasso do essencial, que é garantir a reposição urgente do Estado de Direito e assegurar um governo saído de eleições justas e livres. A situação humanitária no Burquina Fasso é preocupante. Mais de um milhão e meio de deslocados no país, mais de metade das escolas do país encerradas, mais de dois milhões e meio de habitantes em risco de fome severa, a que se soma a insegurança e as limitações gritantes aos direitos, liberdades e garantias dos cidadãos, que minam o quotidiano deste país do Sahel.  A União Europeia deve, portanto, neste contexto ponderar seriamente medidas punitivas contra as entidades desestabilizadoras e criadoras desta situação no Burquina Fasso, sem afetar, como é evidente, a ajuda humanitária ou projetos que ajudem diretamente a sociedade civil. E, desta forma, podemos dar um sinal claro de intransigente defesa do Estado de Direito, eleições democráticas e da necessidade de dar estabilidade ao país e paz à região do Sahel, que tem vindo a viver num ambiente de instabilidade e ameaça terrorista permanente.

Pani Przewodnicząca! Pani Komisarz! Koleżanki i Koledzy! Ja byłem w Burkina Faso. Pamiętam moje rozmowy z Europejczykami, którzy tam mieszkali od lat. Pytałem o relacje między większością chrześcijańską a mniejszością muzułmańską. Słyszałem odpowiedź „wszystko jest dobrze”. Tydzień po moim wyjeździe nastąpił pierwszy zamach islamskich terrorystów. Myślę, że nie można tego zamachu stanu, który jest złem, zrozumieć bez właśnie terroryzmu islamskiego. Terroryzm ten pokazywał słabość armii – armii, która się frustrowała. I myślę, że było to jedną z głównych przyczyn tego zamachu stanu. Jest on oczywiście jest złem, które należy potępić.  To, co dzieje się w Burkina Faso, a także w innych krajach Sahelu, jest też (o czym się może mniej na tej sali mówi) elementem rozgrywki prowadzonej przez Rosję, która tam eksportuje broń, ale także oferuje swoje usługi, usługi tych słynnych żołnierzy Wagnera.

Sehr geehrte Frau Präsidentin, liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen! Der Putsch in Burkina Faso ist natürlich ein weiterer Rückschlag für die positive Entwicklung im Sahel. Das haben wir uns sicherlich anders gewünscht. Und natürlich tauchen Fragezeichen auf nach dem eigenen Engagement, nach den eigenen Investitionen, ob sich das lohnt. Und ich sage ganz kurz und knapp und eindeutig: Ja, wir müssen am Ball bleiben. Wir dürfen den Kopf nicht in den Sand stecken und hier womöglich ein Land oder eine Region verlassen und sie vielleicht auch im Stich lassen. Natürlich braucht es wichtige Elemente, die wir hier haben – den Ausbau der Demokratie, die Menschenrechte und vor allen Dingen eine positive sozioökonomische Entwicklung –, damit wir überhaupt wieder einen fruchtbaren Nährboden schaffen, damit Bürgerinnen und Bürger mit ihrem Staat wieder in Einklang kommen. Und da habe ich von Terrorbekämpfung noch gar nicht geredet. Das wird natürlich am Ende des Tages alles ein bisschen langwieriger, es wird komplizierter, aber wir werden hier auch nicht für Einfaches bezahlt. Von daher sollten wir diese Aufgabe angehen. Gestern hat der Junta-Chef bei seiner eigens inszenierten Einführung gesagt, und ich zitiere:

Pani Przewodnicząca! Pani Komisarz! Afryka to piękny i dumny kontynent, niestety ciągle szarpany kolejnymi niepokojami. Tym razem zamach stanu dosięgnął Burkina Faso. Kraj, który od lat walczy o stabilność makroekonomiczną i bezpieczeństwo, znowu znalazł się na rozdrożu. Z jednej strony wojskowa junta oraz rosyjscy najemnicy z grupy Wagnera aktywnie uczestniczący w puczu, ale z drugiej strony ataki na chrześcijan i niepokoje religijne, które mogą przerodzić się w kolejny krwawy konflikt religijny podobny do tego, który od lat trwa w Nigerii.  W parlamentarnej rezolucji dosadnie opisano problemy w zakresie bezpieczeństwa oraz udziału zagranicznych grup najemników. Natomiast brakuje w niej odniesienia do kolejnych ataków na chrześcijan w Burkina Faso i potępienia tych ataków. Tylko w ostatnich dniach doszło do kilku dużych incydentów, w tym profanacji seminarium duchownego im. św. Kizito. Stoją za nimi organizacje islamskich radykałów. Te same, które dążą do destabilizacji wewnętrznej Burkina Faso. Trzeba jasno potępić ich działanie oraz podjąć aktywne środki zaradcze, w tym sankcje, wobec międzynarodowych sponsorów terroryzmu działających w Afryce.

On 26 January the HR-VP strongly condemned this coup, calling in particular for the immediate release of President Kaboré, as well as for a rapid return to constitutional order. Since that date, we note that President Kaboré is still under house arrest, and the authorities are yet to announce a transition timetable. In this context, it seems important to maintain a firm position. We need to encourage the authorities, under Lieutenant Colonel Damiba, who was just sworn in as the new President of Burkina Faso, to send positive signs to the international community, in particular by presenting a reasonable timetable for the transition and releasing President Kaboré. On this point, we will closely follow the reaction of ECOWAS. Indeed, ECOWAS heads of state have suspended Burkina Faso from the regional organisation, called for the return to a constitutional order in the shortest time and put in place a monitoring mechanism.  All of this takes place in a difficult security situation. As you know, armed terrorist groups affiliated with al-Qaeda or the Islamic State operate almost freely on more than a third of Burkinabe territory. They have caused more than 1.5 million internally displaced persons who face a very difficult situation of shelter and food insecurity.  The EU will respond to the changing situation. We should aim to have a pragmatic approach with the objective of encouraging the rapid return to constitutional order. Our priorities include the terrorist threats in the region, as well as the protection and improvement of living conditions of the population.  I recall that we are entering a new cooperation cycle. All discussions on future programmes are on hold, including on budget support. How we will deal with ongoing programmes, in particular those which are of direct benefit to the state, will be evaluated together with Member States once we know the direction the new authorities are taking.  With all these elements, once the authorities in Burkina Faso have better outlined their approach, we will be able to define our response more clearly.

Г-жо Председател, колеги, затова се обръщам към вас. Когато съм правил грешки в този Парламент и когато някой се е чувствал засегнат, винаги съм се извинявал. Но вчерашният случай не е такъв. Във вчерашния случай, в който аз просто поздравих вашата колега, която водеше заседанието, и й показах с ръка, че разбирам какво ми казва, беше интерпретирано дълбоко погрешно, изключително неправилно и беше направена световна новина. Световна новина, която твърди, че съм използвал забранени нацистки символи в този Парламент.  Не, госпожо Председател, не съм. Ако исках, щях да Ви кажа. Щях да го направя от трибуната,  не излизайки от залата. Не използвам такива символи, защото съм дълбоко убеден, че тяхното място не е в обществото и в тази зала. Начинът, по който беше разпространена тази реакция, беше скандален, изключително груб и изключително обиден.  Затова аз ще искам извинение от всеки, който твърди такова нещо. Да свържеш едно просто помахване в знак на съгласие с ръка, то се вижда как е направено, и да кажеш, че това е нацистки поздрав, е ужасно глупаво. Моля Ви, дайте ми още малко време. Знам, че се спазва времето, но това е важно. Ние не използваме такива символи по много ясни причини. Но пак Ви казвам, ако исках да го направя, щеше да е тук. И днес целия ден слушам и гледам новини, обяснения. Това просто не е вярно, уважаема госпожо Председател, настоявам да се запише. Искам извинение. Благодаря Ви за търпението.

Oggi, per la prima volta, la plenaria del Parlamento europeo si occupa della guerra Prosecco/Prošek, che è diventata un caso simbolo in tutta Europa. La Commissione europea ha tenuto un comportamento scandaloso: a settembre 2021 ha avviato l'iter per il riconoscimento del Prošek e, da allora, si è chiusa in un vergognoso silenzio, nonostante siano passati tre mesi dalla posizione ufficiale presentata dall'Italia. Altrettanto scandaloso è che oggi, a parlare ufficialmente a nome della Commissione europea, non ci sia il Commissario all'agricoltura, ma un altro Commissario. Cosa avete da nascondere? Perché il Commissario all'agricoltura non ha il coraggio di venire in Parlamento e dire con chiarezza cosa vuole fare sul caso Prošek? A che gioco state giocando? Giova ricordare che, già nel 2013, la Croazia aveva tentato di ottenere il riconoscimento del Prošek, bocciato dall'allora Commissario Cioloş. Cito testualmente le parole di Cioloş, in risposta alla mia interrogazione: "l'uso in commercio del termine Prošek può creare problemi giuridici, poiché la denominazione croata potrebbe entrare in conflitto con la protezione della DOP italiana Prosecco. Le autorità croate sono a conoscenza di questo problema giuridico". Cosa è cambiato in questi nove anni per giustificare questo clamoroso voltafaccia della Commissione? Oggi come allora il Prošek croato è palesemente in conflitto con la DOP Prosecco, che protegge la qualità del nostro vino e il lavoro di 8 000 produttori italiani. Riconoscere la denominazione Prošek sarebbe una violazione gravissima delle normative europee, che tutelano i prodotti DOP e IGP da ogni tentativo di evocazione, imitazione e storpiatura del nome, anche quando il nome è tradotto. Il sistema delle denominazioni d'origine e delle indicazioni geografiche protette è il pilastro della politica agroalimentare dell'Unione europea. Se l'Europa non vuole difendere il Prosecco, che è il vino italiano più famoso e più venduto al mondo, cosa succederà agli altri prodotti italiani europei a marchio DOP e IGP? L'Europa deve rafforzare gli strumenti che difendono i nostri prodotti, non scardinare il sistema delle DOP e IGP, usando il cavallo di Troia del Prošek.  Cara Commissione europea, è finito il tempo delle chiacchiere. L'Europa deve dire di no alla richiesta di riconoscimento del Prošek. L'unico vero Prosecco e quello italiano, prodotto in Veneto e in Friuli, riconosciuto e tutelato dalle denominazioni DOC e DOCG. Su questa partita l'Europa si gioca la faccia. Noi non molleremo di un centimetro, e siamo pronti alle barricate per difendere il nostro Prosecco e tutto il Made in Italy.

Il Prosecco non è una denominazione qualsiasi in Europa. Con 600 milioni di bottiglie è il vino spumante più prodotto in Europa e nell'Unione europea e una delle denominazioni di origine più importanti, sia in numeri che in valore, conosciuta in tutto il mondo. È serio mettere in pericolo questa denominazione con la menzione tradizionale? Non lo è. La Commissione avrebbe dovuto bloccare da anni questo attacco al Prosecco, anche perché la Croazia sinceramente, già in fase di entrata nell'Unione europea, ha sostanzialmente accettato di non voler rivendicare questa denominazione. Durante un dibattito in commissione per l'agricoltura alcuni mesi fa, i rappresentanti della Commissione ci hanno detto che non c'è nessun pericolo, in quanto si tratta di prodotti molto diversi. Questo sarà vero per il mercato italiano, per il mercato croato, forse addirittura per i consumatori e il mercato europeo. Ma siamo sicuri che un consumatore a Tokyo o a New York capisca che il Prošek e il Prosecco sono due cose completamente diverse? Penso di no. Mi rendo conto che il regolamento è poco chiaro, forse anche superficiale, quando permette la coesistenza della menzione tradizionale con la denominazione d'origine, e qui ci dobbiamo mettere mano, signor Commissario. Ma se noi non ammettiamo questo, come facciamo a difendere domani seriamente le denominazioni, soprattutto quelle più conosciute al mondo, con il meccanismo che lei giustamente ha messo in evidenza? La questione potrebbe diventare un precedente per altre denominazioni importanti, sia del vino che dell'agroalimentare. Denominazioni, tra l'altro, falsificate in giro per il mondo, che cerchiamo di togliere dal mercato, come il Prosecco falso, il jamón iberico falso, la birra bavarese falsa. Cosa diciamo domani se accettiamo noi stessi, in casa, una situazione del genere? Quindi blocchiamo questa assurdità! È troppo pericolosa, non solo per il Prosecco e per le denominazioni nel loro insieme, ma io penso che non sia un bene neanche per il Prošek, visto che la copia è sempre peggio dell'originale.

Treba naglasiti neke bitne razlike između prošeka i  Prošek nije novi proizvod označen kao prošek samo da pobudi asocijacije na  Želim zahvaliti Komisiji na dosadašnjem radu i na brzom odgovoru na moje pismo vezano uz neutemeljene pokušaje opstrukcije zaštite imena „prošek“. Podsjećam kako povjerenik Wojciechowski, u odgovoru na zastupničko pitanje, pojašnjava da je koegzistencija proizvoda moguća, čak i u slučaju dva homonimna pojma.  Prepoznavanje tradicionalnog prošeka ni na koji način ne može oslabiti postojeći sustav zaštite, može ga samo ojačati. To bi bilo ujedno i priznanje doprinosa autohtonih proizvoda novijih država članica, budući da treba poštovati načelo da smo ujedinjeni u različitostima.  Hrvatska i njezini proizvođači ne mogu i ne smiju biti diskriminirani zbog slučajeva jezičnih sličnosti, još manje zbog činjenice da je Hrvatska najnovija članica Europske unije. Mi se borimo za ravnopravnost, korektnost i nepristranost. To se upravo na ovakvim slučajevima dokazuje u praksi.  Zbog svega toga Europska unija mora zaštititi male tradicionalne proizvođače autohtonih proizvoda od velikih, koji pokušavaju zloupotrijebiti svoju dominantnu poziciju na tržištu. Bez takve ravnopravnosti nema ni zajedničke budućnosti.
