Madame la Présidente, chers collègues, je voudrais ici, depuis l’hémicycle de notre Parlement européen, vous alerter sur la situation du dialogue social en France. Le gouvernement français a fait passer de façon autoritaire le recul de l’âge de départ à la retraite en ignorant toutes les demandes, toutes les propositions des partenaires sociaux, en refusant de négocier avec les syndicats, puis en ignorant et en bafouant la représentation parlementaire. Vous l’avez bien compris, cette réforme qui va impacter considérablement la vie des Français a été adoptée sans vote, sans dialogue, que ce soit avec les partenaires sociaux ou avec la représentation nationale. Le pouvoir a encore franchi un cap, hier, en allant jusqu’à retirer le droit constitutionnel d’amendement aux députés de l’opposition. Manœuvres politiciennes, attaque contre le dialogue social, contre les syndicats, tout cela marque une dérive autoritaire dangereuse. Chers collègues, en tant que parlementaires européens, cette manière de bafouer la démocratie sociale, cette manière d’attaquer les syndicats, cette manière d’attaquer la démocratie doit nous alerter au plus haut point.

Madam President, I strongly welcome the committee's insistence and the need for workers to have the right to avail of collective bargaining. In Ireland, this right has long been denied. The need for collective bargaining to be protected by legislation has never been greater. An ideology of neoliberalism with hugely damaging consequences for workers and family has reigned across Ireland and Europe for too long. The High-Level Group on Collective Bargaining and Industrial Relations has done some good work, but it must translate into strong legislation for workers’ rights. We saw today how those from the right will try and dilute every bit of progress. They must not be allowed to win out. Only by giving workers the tools to bargain for themselves can they have a chance of living decent and happy lives. Collective bargaining must not be impeded or delayed, but implemented as soon as possible.

Madam President, we talk an awful lot about foreign interference in this place. But do you know something? How come we never talk about the actual influence of the US empire on the European Union? They have invested heavily in our media. They’re invested heavily in our universities. They’re trying to influence the curriculum in the universities. How can we say we have democracy when the Americans are actually buying our media and interfering in our educational system? Our idea that foreign interference only comes from the Russians is comic book stuff, and it’s about time the people in here copped on to themselves.

Paní předsedající, tuto zprávu jsem podpořil. Opravdu se velmi obávám zahraničních vlivů z Ruska, to znamená z této oblasti. Vidím to jinak než můj předřečník a osobně si myslím, že v této věci musíme být ve střehu a musíme permanentně debatovat o tom, jakou kybernetickou válku proti nám Putinův režim vede. A sami vidíme v praxi, jak je jenom malý krok od těchto hybridních hrozeb a hybridních válek k reálnému útoku na suverénní stát. Rusko, nositel řekněme hybridních útoků a válek vůči demokraciím, dnes útočí na Ukrajinu, na suverénní nezávislý stát. A to má nás vést k tomu, že bychom opravdu tyto hrozby pro naše demokracie v hybridní podobě neměli podceňovat a měli bychom je vnímat opravdu jako jednu z forem současných válek vůči demokratickým státům. Takže jsem návrh podpořil a jsem rád, že byl diskutován a že Parlamentem prošel.

Г-жо Председател, гласувах убедено в подкрепа на този документ, защото намесата на трети враждебни страни във вътрешните работи на Съюза и на държавите членки е неприемлива и недопустима. Помним случая Катар-гейт, в който имаше взети финансови средства, за да бъдат променяни документи на Съюза от наши колеги, европейски представители.  В същото това време министър на външните работи и заместник министър-председател на Република Северна Македония се хвали, че убеждава наши колеги как да променят документи на Съюза, свързани с докладите за напредъка на Република Северна Македония. Хвали се в интервю, че дава предложения за поправки на наши колеги. Виждаме вчера, по време на среща, водена от докладчиците в сянка, как заместник министър-председател на Република Северна Македония тук, в Брюксел, събира тези наши колеги, за да се снима с тях и да координира тяхната дейност с цел и задача. Без да се крият, те казват, че целта и задачата е да бъдат изтрити от доклада всички престъпления от омраза срещу българите в Македония, защитата на българското културно историческо наследство, и изобщо промяна от трета враждебна страна срещу интересите на гражданите на държава - членка на Европейския съюз. Това е неприемливо, недопустимо и трябва да му се сложи край. И този случай трябва да бъде разследван. Да се види тези колеги дали са се записали в някакви списъци, обявили са с кого се виждат и т.н.

Good afternoon, dear colleagues. It is with great sadness that we learnt today of the death of former Member of this House and former Prime Minister of Italy, Silvio Berlusconi. On behalf of the European Parliament, I want to extend our condolences to his children, to his political colleagues and to his family and loved ones at this difficult time. This week the Council also finally agreed on a general approach on important migration and asylum files. This a welcome step forward, if by no means the end. I think this is a breakthrough that we welcome and we are ready to begin negotiations immediately to reach a deal before the end of this mandate. We also expect a strong signal from Council on the crisis and  Also, dear colleagues, six days ago the world witnessed yet another barbaric, horrific attack against innocent Ukrainians by Russia. The destruction of the Kakhovka dam in Ukraine flooded dozens of villages and parts of a nearby city, leaving thousands of people in the most dire humanitarian and ecological situation. They need our practical help and support. And they need justice. It cannot stay unanswered. In Annecy, France, the world witnessed a horrific attack against children and toddlers with a man wielding a knife, stabbing indiscriminately. In the midst of the panic and the horror, men and women, passers-by, stood up and prevented further bloodshed and tragedy. Strangers putting themselves in harm’s way and showing the very best of France and of Europe. Colleagues, this weekend we bid a heart-breaking farewell to another young woman violently stolen from us too soon. Giulia was a young woman who was seven months pregnant living near Milan in Italy. On 27 May she was beaten, stabbed, murdered and her body burned. This shocking case is not isolated in Europe. We have seen too many examples of women being killed. Just in the last weeks we have Ana Vanessa in Spain, Délia in Portugal, Fatiha in France – the list goes on. We cannot become immune to the horror of domestic abuse, femicide and violence against women. We cannot allow the cycle to continue. So for every woman who has been killed let us say from here: Not. One. More.

Noi ne siamo fieri e onoreremo come membri del Parlamento sempre il suo ricordo.

Οφείλουμε να ενθαρρύνουμε μορφές εργασίας που είναι ωφέλιμες για την προσωπική και κοινωνική ανάπτυξη των παιδιών και που δεν παρεμβαίνουν στην παιδική τους ηλικία και τη σχολική τους εκπαίδευση. Ωστόσο, επικίνδυνες μορφές εργασίας που θέτουν σε κίνδυνο την υγεία, την ασφάλεια και την ηθική ανάπτυξη των παιδιών θα πρέπει να εξαλειφθούν χωρίς εξαιρέσεις και χωρίς ενδοιασμούς. Εξίσου σημαντικό είναι το γεγονός ότι περισσότερα από τρεισήμισι εκατομμύρια παιδιά απασχολούνται με καταναγκαστική εργασία ανά το παγκόσμιο, αποτελώντας σχεδόν το 12% του συνόλου.  Ως σκιώδης εισηγήτρια σε γνωμοδότηση για την καταναγκαστική εργασία, τονίζω επανειλημμένα ότι τα παιδιά πλήττονται δυσανάλογα από την καταναγκαστική εργασία και πως αυτή είναι μια διάσταση που πρέπει να αντιμετωπιστεί συγκεκριμένα, αποτελεσματικά και άμεσα.

Barn som arbetar berövas sina rättigheter och sina möjligheter. De förlorar rätten till sin barndom. Årets tema för  EU:s nolltolerans mot barnarbete är mycket viktig, men mer kan göras för att ta itu med orsakerna till barnarbete. Det handlar om fattigdom, ojämlikhet och tillgång till utbildning. Tillsammans måste vi kämpa för att skapa en värld där barn kan växa upp i jämlika samhällen och där barns rättigheter alltid respekteras – i dag och alla andra dagar.

Wereldwijd worden honderdzestig miljoen kinderen ingezet voor kinderarbeid. Ik heb het ooit met eigen ogen gezien: kinderen die op de hoek van de straat coca-cola moeten verkopen, kinderen die in donkere fabrieken schoenen in elkaar moeten zetten en, erger nog, kinderen die moeten aanschuiven om te zien of ze wel klein genoeg zijn om af te dalen in een schacht en ontginningswerkzaamheden te verrichten. Dit zijn afschuwelijke taferelen. Laten we dan ook meer dan ooit werk maken van de nultolerantie op dit gebied en ervoor zorgen dat in Europa nooit meer producten binnenkomen die gemaakt zijn door kinderhanden. We weten dat wetgeving alleen niet volstaat. We moeten de oorzaken van armoede aanpakken: we moeten ervoor zorgen dat kinderen naar school kunnen en niet verantwoordelijk zijn voor het inkomen van het hele gezin. Kinderarbeid moet wereldwijd worden uitgebannen.

Children such as Nina, a 13-year-old working in the mica mine in Madagascar for our cosmetics, paints and electronics. Or Sandy who picks potatoes, extracts onions and digs up lettuce on a hillside in the Dominican Republic. To improve the circumstances and to lift the families from Nina and Sandy out of poverty, we need support and development cooperation.  But child labour and especially forced child labour is also straightforward economic dumping. That is why we need to increase the economic costs of companies that exploit the most vulnerable. The answer is a strong and effective import ban on products made with forced labour. It is a shame that the EPP is teaming up with the right wing to block and postpone this very important proposal.

W świetle tych danych nasze działania muszą mieć wymiar zewnętrzny. Toteż zero tolerancji dla przymusowej pracy dzieci musi być egzekwowane przy zawieraniu umów handlowych i partnerskich. Zakaz wprowadzania do obrotu na rynek europejski produktów, które zostały wytworzone przy udziale pracy przymusowej dzieci, jest koniecznością, jest wyzwaniem i jest egzaminem naszej odpowiedzialności. Czy jesteśmy silni tylko w słowach, czy w czynach? Zachęcam Pana Komisarza do działania w tej sprawie.

Vous savez que, en Italie, aujourd’hui, 340 000 enfants entre 7 et 15 ans ont déjà une expérience sur le marché du travail? En Belgique, des enfants ont été retrouvés à travailler dans les hangars de PostNL et de ses sous-traitants pour l’envoi de colis. Aux Pays-Bas, l’enseigne de grande distribution Albert Heijn recrute activement des enfants à partir de 13 ans pour travailler dans ses supermarchés. Ça, c’est l’Europe aujourd’hui. Et pourquoi vous en parlez tellement peu? Parce que, évidemment, la promotion, l’utilisation du travail des enfants par ces entreprises est une conséquence des politiques libérales en matière de marché du travail (contrats précaires, manque de contrats fixes et de salaires décents…). Évidemment que cela mène à ce genre de pratiques, à la sous-traitance à gogo. Alors si on veut vraiment – et on le doit – en terminer avec le travail des enfants dans l’Union européenne, il s’agit d’arrêter cette libéralisation du marché du travail et d’imposer des contrats décents et des salaires décents.

Or, enrayer cette pratique révoltante est d’autant plus urgent que la transition vers le «tout électrique», souhaitée par l’Union européenne, aiguisera la demande pour certains matériaux critiques, à l’instar du cobalt. L’extraction de ce métal est notoire pour le recours au travail des enfants en République démocratique du Congo. Le renforcement des conditionnalités afférentes à l’octroi et au bénéfice des préférences commerciales – ou, le cas échéant, dans le cadre d’accords commerciaux – constitue, à mon sens, un levier efficace d’action pour peser enfin dans la lutte contre le travail forcé et le travail des enfants. Je note ainsi que cette question est incluse dans l’accord de partenariat économique signé avec le Kenya. Reste à mettre en œuvre cette condition, effectivement…

A tal proposito vorrei porre alcune domande ai colleghi ecologisti europei: ma lo sapevate che solo in Congo, 40 mila bambini lavorano nelle miniere per estrarre il cobalto? Proprio il cobalto è l'elemento base delle batterie anche dei vostri cellullari e delle auto elettriche, che tanto volete imporre a tutti i cittadini europei entro il 2035.  Lo sapevate che, mentre noi siamo qui a discutere per raggiungere traguardi verdi, tanti altri paesi del mondo se ne fregano delle politiche green e fanno raccogliere il cotone dei vostri vestiti ai bambini, sapete perché? Perché grazie alle loro "piccole mani" riescono meglio nella raccolta.  È facile riempirsi la bocca di termini come ecologia, green, transizione verde, ma dobbiamo anche essere consapevoli delle conseguenze di questi termini. Invece di bloccare aziende, strade e autostrade in tutta Europa in nome di politiche folli, andate a protestare in quei Paesi dove per questi bambini non esistono giorni di riposo o ferie, e vengono trattati come schiavi.  Cari colleghi, mentre noi siamo qui a parlare, milioni di bambini continuano a lavorare per sostenere queste assurde politiche green.

It is obvious that what happens online and with the digital tools is increasingly crucial for information for criminal investigations. Also, requirement to ask to store the data before deletion is needed. Cross—border coordination is somewhat difficult anyway because criminal law is only partially harmonised in the different Member States, so this regulation is improved and better now. When the investigator issues in order to other country, so Member States where the service provider receives the notification has the duty to assess the order if there are concerns on the fundamental rights like privacy or media freedom. So if the offence might be not even a crime in the country of the service provider, so there is possibility to refuse. So doing this e—evidence right now paves also the way for negotiations with the USA on the UN convention. We have many legislative possibilities to work to enhance use of digital tools and new technologies, but it doesn’t need to mean that we forget the fundamental rights. We are able to do Europe safer with the help of digital tools and not to override fundamental rights.

Das alles schafft die Chatkontrolle nicht, und deswegen muss sie zurückgezogen und komplett überarbeitet werden.
