En ces temps de crise économique, il est essentiel de défendre ce modèle d’activité à la fois synonyme d’emplois et de richesse économique. La pérennisation de cette dérogation représente donc d’abord un réel enjeu pour certains de nos territoires ruraux qui risquent d’être fortement pénalisés, alors qu’ils traversent déjà une situation plus que difficile. Mais au-delà de ces considérations économiques, ces modes de production trouvent aussi une résonance toute particulière à l’ère du pacte vert et de la stratégie «de la ferme à la table», qui nous appellent à encourager les circuits de proximité, répondant également en cela à une demande sociétale croissante. Voilà pourquoi nous attendons une réponse de la Commission qui aille dans le bon sens, car ce monde agricole en a fortement besoin.

Am notat ceea ce-a spus domnul comisar cu câteva minute în urmă, însă, deși șapte state membre - inclusiv România - au cerut-o insistent, nici măcar nu a fost demarată o procedură de revizuire a regulamentului. E o contradicție clară între sprijinul promis micului producător și deciziile adoptate în realitate, mai ales că vorbim despre un producător crunt lovit în acest an de măsurile COVID-19 care i-au produs pierderi pe care nu și le putea permite. Solicit, deci, Comisiei o procedură de urgență pentru a repara această nedreptate.

Ich kann nicht verstehen, warum diese Ausnahmeregelung jetzt auslaufen sollte, warum genau diese Betriebe, die genau das machen – regional vermarkten, kurze Transportwege, keine Tiertransporte, kein Tierleid – und das erfüllen, was unsere Konsumentinnen und Konsumenten wünschen, nun in Schwierigkeiten gebracht werden sollten. Das ist keine kohärente Politik mit dem, was wir hier sonst machen. Bitte, Kommission, führen Sie diese Ausnahme in eine geregelte Gesetzgebung über und machen Sie diese Ausnahme zur ständigen Ausnahme, denn wie wir wissen, sind die Probleme in Schlachtbetrieben, in den großen Schlachtbetrieben zu Hause, nicht aber bei den kleinen bäuerlichen Direktvermarktern. Dort gibt es diese Probleme im Allgemeinen nicht. Ermöglichen Sie unseren Bäuerinnen und Bauern, dieses Lebensauskommen weiter zu erhalten.

In het buitenland? Zeker niet. Vorige week werden door  In Europa dan? Ook in onze eigen slachthuizen zien we hoe varkens ernstig lijden door CO2-verdoving, hoe kippen onverdoofd worden geslacht door zwakke bedwelming en hoe dieren worden mishandeld. Op de boerderij dan? Dat klinkt logisch. Het zou de dieren in elk geval lange transporten naar de slachthuizen besparen. Maar dan alleen met verplicht cameratoezicht, in de reguliere slachthuizen én op de boerderij, zodat we allemaal continu het welzijn van de dieren kunnen monitoren en in het oog kunnen houden. Voorzitter, diervriendelijk slachten is een illusie. De enige echte diervriendelijke slacht is geen slacht. Daarom zal ik me blijven inzetten voor een transitie naar plantaardige voeding. Ik hoop dat de Europese Commissie dit zal omarmen. Voorts ben ik van mening dat de Europese landbouwsubsidies moeten worden afgeschaft.

As I have already mentioned, production of small quantities of fresh meat from poultry and lagomorphs for local sale is not at risk. For meat products and meat preparations, however, after almost 16 years the time has come for local producers also to comply with EU food hygiene rules. This does not mean that they have to stop their activities.  I’m convinced that with the flexibility introduced by the co—legislators in the 2004 regulations, the remaining requests for adoption can be addressed. The Commission will certainly look at that.

Speaker: David Maria Sassoli

Care colleghe, cari colleghi, cari Presidenti, "Non c'è niente di più bello che distribuire felicità alle persone".  Sono parole di Ludwig van Beethoven, rese reali dalla sua musica, dalla sua arte. Per lui la musica era il terreno in cui lo spirito vive, pensa, inventa, sogna e suonarla senza passione era imperdonabile. La sua musica e la sua passione simboleggiano gli ideali dell'Europa. Gli ideali di solidarietà, di pace, di libertà e il nostro progetto in un mondo migliore.  In occasione del 250° anniversario della nascita di Beethoven, vorrei condividere con voi un momento di ispirazione. L' Sarà interpretato oggi dall'Ensemble Oxalys di Bruxelles, con arrangiamenti del compositore Jago Moons. Basta con le parole, ecco per tutti l'Inno alla gioia: Uniti nella diversità.

Het Parlement is erin geslaagd om zijn eigen accenten te leggen en om de middelen voor toekomstgerichte programma’s gericht op scholing, innovatie, technologische vernieuwing en ontwikkeling te vrijwaren en zelfs te versterken. Dit zijn de programma’s waarin de EU echte meerwaarde kan creëren en het verschil kan maken.  Maar binnen de meerjarenbegroting zijn er nog steeds een aantal vastgeroeste beleidskeuzes aanwezig die aandacht en middelen blijven opeisen. De shift richting de toekomst had wat mij betreft nog een stuk uitgesprokener mogen zijn. De EU lijkt toch geregeld een beetje een probleem te hebben om het juiste ambitieniveau te vinden en dat geldt ook voor het klimaatbeleid.  Europa kan en mag de kar trekken voor duurzame transitie. Maar toch roept de nieuwe doelstelling van 55 % CO2-reductie tegen 2030 een aantal vragen op. Neem de impactbeoordeling van deze 55 %. Er is nog geen ernstige analyse op lidstaat- en sectorniveau beschikbaar. De impact van de COVID-19-pandemie is volgens mij ook onvoldoende meegenomen, evenals bijvoorbeeld de impact inzake koolstoflekkage en kmo’s.  De meeste van deze bezorgdheden die ik zojuist heb geformuleerd, zijn trouwens ook zeer duidelijk aanwezig in de kritische analyse van het eigen onderzoekscentrum van het Parlement, het EPRS. Het lijkt me bijzonder zinvol om over die studie een debat te hebben.  Verder moet het duidelijk zijn dat elke regio andere mogelijkheden en opportuniteiten heeft om de uitstoot kostenefficiënt te verminderen. Vlaanderen bijvoorbeeld is een kleine en dichtbevolkte regio met beperkte open ruimte en met belangrijke energie-intensieve industriële clusters. Europa moet rekening houden met dit type van verscheidenheid.

Signor Presidente, onorevoli colleghi, il Movimento 5 Stelle oggi dice tre "sì". Sì al Recovery Fund, simbolo di una nuova Europa che scommette sul futuro e fa ammenda degli errori del passato: addio austerity. Per la prima volta vengono emessi titoli europei e si trasferiscono risorse a fondo perduto agli Stati più in difficoltà.  Sì al bilancio pluriennale: non è perfetto, ma aumentiamo le dotazioni dei programmi Horizon, Erasmus e InvestEU, importantissimi per giovani e imprese, e finalmente si apre il cantiere delle risorse proprie.  Sì alla difesa dello Stato di diritto: sui valori non si negozia, difenderemo ovunque e sempre l'indipendenza della magistratura e la libertà di stampa.  Con questi tre convinti "sì" cambieremo in meglio la vita dei cittadini europei, mentre i sovranisti battono la ritirata e si nascondono dietro i veti di Orbán, privi di ogni progetto politico. Tuttavia c'è ancora molto da fare. Dobbiamo impedire a mafia e criminalità organizzata di mettere le mani su questi fondi europei e dobbiamo far ripartire l'economia dopo l'incubo del virus. Ma oggi è certo: vince l'Europa dell'equità, della solidarietà e della giustizia.

Is this European Commission, the guardian of the Treaties, ready to stand up for the rule of law and fundamental rights even when it gets difficult? Will you apply a fully functional applicable regulation that after its adoption will enter into force on 1 January 2021, or is this Commission afraid of the noise of the autocrats and authoritarians in this Union? I can tell you – and I have to repeat myself here – the European Parliament is not afraid. With hundreds of millions of EU citizens we stand up for rule of law and democracy. Listen to us. Listen to these citizens, not to the noise coming from the autocrats and authoritarians.  And lastly, dear colleagues in the EPP – and I say this as someone who has worked closely and constructively with many of you over the years – it does not need another debate however intense it is going to be about where Orbán and Fidesz are heading. This party is set to undermine the rule of law, fundamental rights and democracy. The facts are clear. What else has to happen for you to finally take action? The time for complacency is over. Dear colleagues in the EPP, act now.

Senhores Presidentes, caras e caros Colegas, começo com um pedido. Monsieur Charles Michel, não arranjem mais desculpas, despachem-se. É urgente. Estamos numa situação de emergência. É necessário ratificar o Fundo de Recuperação, é urgente que ele chegue à economia. Não inventem mais obstáculos, que não haja mais nenhuma chantagem. Esta é uma urgência, e é um pedido, e, também, não olhem para o orçamento da União Europeia como uma despesa. O orçamento da União Europeia é investimento. O orçamento da União Europeia beneficia todos. Acabem com os “contribuintes líquidos” e com os “beneficiários líquidos”. Todos beneficiam da União Europeia. Temos um acordo positivo e histórico.  Obrigado, Senhora Presidente von der Leyen e obrigado também Senhora Angela Merkel que propuseram, e arrastaram também o Conselho, para esta decisão histórica.  Temos um fundo de recuperação, pela primeira vez, de 750 mil milhões de euros, um Quadro Financeiro Plurianual num montante razoável, um roteiro vinculativo para a decisão de recursos próprios. Mas vamos precisar de pagar a dívida dos 750 mil milhões de euros e não podemos sobrecarregar os cidadãos. O princípio é simples: quem não paga deve pagar. E também temos de procurar combater a fraude, a elisão fiscal, e isso são recursos que seriam suficientes para, só num ano, pagar o Quadro Financeiro Plurianual. Conseguimos um acordo vinculativo. Agora é urgente que esse acordo vinculativo para a introdução dos novos recursos próprios seja respeitado, seja colocado em prática. Nós seremos vigilantes. Continuaremos, como desde há três anos atrás, a monitorizar e a trabalhar para uma Europa forte, uma Europa unida, uma Europa sustentável e solidária, e o Quadro Financeiro Plurianual e estes recursos, agora, como eu disse no início, devem chegar rapidamente à economia. Cabe aos Estados-Membros usarem bem estes recursos, de uma forma justa e de uma forma transparente, de modo a que a Europa e todos os Estados-Membros sejam competitivos e coesos do ponto de vista económico e territorial.

Madam President, today it is the time of pride. We are at the end of the most dramatic year in the history of the European Union and the pandemic is still not over. Yes, people are still suffering a lot and some of them are even dying, but we have done our job, and we have to claim this and tell this with all our voice and our passion. Today we can say we have finally closed up the agreement on the whole financial strategy, the Recovery Fund, the MFF, the revision of own resources and together with the other programmes we can count almost EUR 2 400 billion for fighting the crisis.  We have to be proud of this European renaissance. We have to be proud of this huge mobilisation of resources never before put in place for our citizens, and we have to be proud to have strengthened the rule of law. No relativism on democratic values is acceptable.  We have done our job and it is a good job. We have been united, notwithstanding our work differences. We have been determined, not withstanding our uncertainties. We have been efficient, notwithstanding what were long and sometimes incomprehensible procedures. We have been ambitious, notwithstanding our fears.  I am on my first mandate. I am proud of having entered the European institutions in such a moment of change and historic commitment and for those who still do not believe in Europe, who think that alone we could face dramatic challenges, let them come to Brussels. For those who think that Europe is only a giant of hype and bureaucracy, very far from people, let them come to Brussels. For those who have to use a credit card before entering into a hospital, let them come to Brussels. Dear colleagues, we have done a huge and terrific job. We just have to go on.

Madame la Présidente, Monsieur le Président, chers collègues, contrairement à Mme Aubry, je suis confiante: l’Europe va se mouvoir en puissance budgétaire le temps de cette relance. Soyons-en fiers, car c’est le résultat de la volonté de ceux qui y croient, c’est le résultat de la volonté des pro-européens. C’est aussi notre résultat, ce budget, ce calendrier pour les ressources propres: Johan, José Manuel, Jan, Margarida, Rasmus, merci à vous. Cependant, chers amis, nous devons rester lucides.

Elle est tiraillée de l’intérieur à cause de ceux qui veulent s’affranchir des règles communes, mais qui acceptent volontiers notre argent – ça, il n’y a pas de problème.
