Dlatego tak ważne są płatności bezpośrednie w ramach Europejskiego Funduszu Rolniczych Gwarancji. Nie zgadzam się, by podział środków między poszczególne kraje UE był nadal niesprawiedliwy i godzący w rolników części państw członkowskich, w tym polskich. Zaproponowane przez Komisję słabe tempo wyrównywania poziomu płatności bezpośrednich utrzymuje niespójne z nowymi celami WPR dysproporcje wsparcia producentów rolnych działających na jednolitym rynku.  Zgadzam się z potrzebą zwiększenia ambicji środowisko-klimatycznych WPR. Sprzeciwiam się jednak ustanawianiu minimalnych poziomów wydatków budżetowych na ekoschematy. Moim zdaniem bardziej zasadne i efektywniejsze jest podejście, w którym to państwa członkowskie mogą zdecydować, w jaki sposób, jakimi środkami i w jakich proporcjach cele te będą realizowane. Uważam także, że należy zagwarantować państwom członkowskim elastyczność w zakresie możliwości wykorzystania środków niewykorzystanych w danym roku na ekoschematy. Wierzę, że uda nam się znaleźć szybko porozumienie, które będzie równe i sprawiedliwe dla wszystkich europejskich rolników.

Estamos perante a primeira tentativa de responsabilizar ainda mais os EM pela utilização dos fundos da PAC, quando estes são ainda mais balizados e atribuídos segundo as regras impostas pela UE e, em última instância, a abertura da porta para uma renacionalização desta política comum inaceitável. O que se exige são políticas que assegurem: a soberania alimentar de cada Estado; o apoio a pequenos e médios agricultores e à agricultura familiar; preços justos à produção e a melhoria dos rendimentos de quem produz; práticas agrícolas sustentáveis, respeitadoras da biodiversidade e do ambiente; e a segurança e qualidade alimentar acessíveis a todos.

Kao i do sada zapostavljeni su u kontekstu potpora te se ZPP za njih zalaže samo načelno, bez jakih i svrsishodnih rješenja. Zanemareni su npr. prostori hrvatskih krških pašnjaka. Iako se kroz tekst provlači i veća zaštita dobrobiti životinja, ipak ne djeluje dovoljno u smjeru napuštanja industrijske poljoprivredne proizvodnje. Sadržaj ZPP-a za mene je neprihvatljiv te uzimajući u obzir kako mnogi dobri amandmani nisu dobili podršku, odlučio sam glasati protiv ZPP-a jer u konačnici donosi mnogo više štete nego koristi za Hrvatsku pa i Europu. U prilog protivljenju ZPP-u ide činjenica da je u suštini truli kompromis tri velika kluba establišmenta.

En España, los datos son incontestables: más de 726 000 agricultores y ganaderos recibieron 5 006 millones de euros en ayudas de la PAC en 2018. Casi un 30 % de su renta media.  Por eso la nueva PAC será más sostenible económica y medioambientalmente. Se introducen nuevos eco-esquemas para apoyar intervenciones verdes y también mayores ayudas a los agricultores jóvenes o un ingreso redistributivo que empuje a crecer a las explotaciones más pequeñas. Además, dará más flexibilidad a los países para adaptarse a sus propias necesidades y acompañar mejor a nuestro sector primario en la modernización que lo impulse hacia el futuro.  A partir de ahora, la PAC seguirá su curso en el Consejo. Allí, el ministro Planas tendrá que conseguir para el campo español lo que no ha conseguido hasta ahora: no obligarles a hacer más con menos y no recortar el presupuesto de la PAC. Le deseo suerte y aciertos, porque serán también los nuestros.

Die Ergebnisse der dritten Abstimmung des heutigen Tages werde ich noch heute Abend, Dienstag, 20. Oktober, um 23.00 Uhr anstatt morgen um 9.00 Uhr früh bekanntgeben, also Vorverlegung der Bekanntgabe der dritten Abstimmungsrunde.  Und jetzt komme ich direkt auf Ihre Frage: Außerdem wurden die Abstimmungen auf die verschiedenen Abstimmungstermine neu verteilt, um die Anzahl der eingereichten Änderungsanträge sowie der eingegangen Anträge auf gesonderte und getrennte Abstimmungen zu berücksichtigen. Also das war ein Paket der Neuordnung, um auch stärker auf die einzelnen Ergebnisse eingehen zu können. Die Informationen über die Neuverteilung der Abstimmungen sind auf der Website des Europäischen Parlaments in der Rubrik „Vorrangige Informationen“ einsehbar, und ich muss Sie daher fragen: Gibt es gegen diese Neuverteilung und gegen diesen neuen Termin für die Bekanntgabe des Ergebnisses der dritten Abstimmungsrunde Einwände? Wenn das nicht der Fall ist, sind diese Änderungen angenommen.  Die Abstimmungen über die Änderungsanträge finden heute, morgen, am Donnerstag und am Freitag statt. Die Schlussabstimmung findet am Freitag, 23. Oktober 2020, statt. Ich glaube, dass wir damit das ganze Paket übersichtlich aufgeplittet haben.

Now I would like to briefly walk you through the EPP’s priorities, aside from the multiannual financial framework (MFF) and the recovery package. First, the digital strategy. During this plenary, the European Parliament is to adopt six reports on the Digital Services Act and artificial intelligence. These files matter a lot and we are now opening up discussions on how we, as regulators, can strike the right balance between digital progress and the respect of fundamental rights and freedoms. It is up to us, as policymakers, to build a regulatory framework for where voluntary commitments from the private sector are not enough. We have to create an artificial intelligence ecosystem that serves the people first. Looking to the future, we have to make education and training systems fit for the digital age. The digital revolution also requires enhanced cross-border judiciary cooperation.  Second, the functions of the Schengen area. With the second wave of the pandemic sweeping through Europe, better coordination is necessary to avoid disruption of the internal market and preserve jobs. We welcome the intention of the Commission to present a new strategy for the future of Schengen. However, unfortunately, we see that Member States have once again adopted various national restrictions which undermine not only the right of EU citizens to free movement, but also the recovery of the EU economy. Our Group supports a healthy Union that enables innovation, invests in the health and well-being of its citizens, and increases our resilience and preparedness to tackle cross-border health threats. An aging population, the need to ensure better access to treatment for all, the high prevalence of chronic diseases or diseases with a high social burden, such as cancer, require a more coordinated response at European level.  We also believe that the EU must shape globalisation and use its trade policy to set standards internationally. Our ability to conclude win-win agreements is fundamental to economic growth and recovery. However, we must not be naive. We strongly support the Commission in ensuring that the interests of the EU are fully protected and that our companies do not suffer from unfair competition. This brings me to the industrial strategy, which has to remain competitive while taking into account the digital and environmental challenges of tomorrow.  Last but not least, the Green Deal. Our environmental ambitions cannot be only about defending targets. The EPP will focus on concrete means that will bring about a significant reduction in emissions. Innovation and research will be key in this field. We ask the Commission to keep this in mind when negotiating the MFF and specific programmes with the Council. Fighting against climate change and fighting for employment in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic are the top priorities of our citizens.

The Recovery Plan and the MFF cannot be stalled. They are crucial for the economic rebound. Also, the Health Union has to be delivered properly. And we must speed up on the digital and green transitions. But we will deceive ourselves if we think that they have no consequences for the people. They should not go forward without a red heart in them.  In that regard, we salute the Commission’s compromise to present an action plan to ensure the full implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights, but we need more. We need to fight poverty and protect European workers. Many will be vulnerable to the digital transformation. Energy poverty must be addressed or it will be just worsened by the green transition.  The European Union has to do whatever it takes to assure that the recovery and the twin transitions are fair, effective and long lasting. That implies tax fairness across Europe, flexibility on the fiscal rules to be kept for several years, and also that previous rules must change, avoiding pressure over Member States to introduce austerity measures, as it happened 10 years ago with all the consequences we know. By opposite, measures providing a stabilisation function, such as the Unemployment Reinsurance Scheme, must be really implemented.  It is through solidarity that Europe will prevail. Solidarity amongst people, regions and Member States. Solidarity with migrants that need safe and legal paths. Solidarity and values. Fighting for real gender equality. Promoting the rule of law, our values, the SDGs in Europe and all over the world. This is a lot, we know, Mr Vice-President, but this is nothing less than our political family expects from the Commission to deliver next year.

As once more, we ask people in Europe to work from home, to limit social contacts, to close businesses, it is our job as policymakers not just to ensure we ride out this storm together, we also need to give people perspective. We need to provide people with the certainty that we will pull Europe out of this health and economic crisis. How do we do this, Commissioner? By focusing on what we can do and on what we know, and by focusing on the silver linings. So what can we do? When a teacher is brutally murdered, we can stand up for free speech and fight against external illiberal threats! When journalists are threatened, we can defend the free press and bring the perpetrators to justice. When we see the rule of law undermined, we cannot stay quiet. Actions that undermine the rule of law need to have consequences.  Our values are the foundation on which we have built our European house and we cannot paint over the cracks. This is something we can do. This is something we should do. And what do we know? We know that we are facing bad economic weather. But we also know that we hold the keys to new economic growth – by finishing the single market, by eliminating barriers to trade for our SMEs, by investing in green innovation and technologies. But the biggest unlocked potential to new growth has come to light as a result of corona.  The silver lining of all of our many online meetings. We can all see that the future is digital. We see it in this House this week with the first online plenary session. To tap into this potential, we need to think globally. Because the internet has no borders and if we don’t make the rules, others will. We need a geopolitical digital strategy. The Commission is announcing its proposals for Europe’s digital decade in January, and Renew Europe wants to see a solid strategy to build that digital economy.  Commissioner, we live in troubling times, but we have faced troubling times before. Let us focus on what we do know, on what we can do, and find the silver linings together that might lead us to renewed perspectives.

Der Vorwurf, den ich an die Europäische Union hier mache, ist, dass man diese Krise dafür missbraucht, mehr und mehr an Zentralisierung zu implementieren. Das betrifft den Mehrjährigen Finanzrahmen, das betrifft die Sozialunion, das betrifft Corona—Bonds – eine Vielzahl von Maßnahmen, die im Huckepackverfahren dieser Welle ohne demokratische Miteinbindung der Mitgliedstaaten hier plötzlich über die Bühne geht. Ein anderer Bereich ist die Green-Deal-Vereinbarung, wo mit überzogenen Maßnahmen, mit bis zu 55 % an Einsparungen hier ein Todesstoß für die Wirtschaft und Industrie erfolgt. Gerade in einer Zeit wie jetzt muss man den Menschen Zuversicht geben und hier auch mit Augenmaß reagieren, was aus meiner Sicht nicht der Fall ist. Wenn man Naturschutz und Umweltschutz macht – wofür ich ja bin –, ja bitte setzen Sie an bei der Vielzahl von LKW-Fahrten, völlig überflüssig quer durch Europa. Lebendtiertransporte – hier ist das Wichtige.  Letzter Satz: Weg von der Zentralisierung, hin zu den Mitgliedstaaten, dort ist man viel findiger, besser und effektiver in der Lösung von Problemen.

This being said, Mr Vice-President, humanity faces a huge challenge beyond the pandemic. It is making sure that this planet still remains inhabitable for human beings. And let me say I am happy to see that for the first time ever I think, this Commission, the one you belong to under the leadership of Ursula von der Leyen, is starting to take the full measure of what that means. And the fact that you have decided to make the European Green Deal the core strategy for the European Union bodes well. I will just say that those who say that this is all window dressing, that this is all greenwashing, do not realise what you are trying to make happen.  So you’re right. We have to move from ambition to action and I’m very happy to hear that. I would say that there’s two aspects that you need to avoid. The first one is, well, to keep open these blind angles of the Green Deal so far, and by that I mean trade policy — you announced a review of trade policy and that’s a very good thing — but also agricultural policy. We are going to vote, and it’s already too late. I think you let this one go. The future CAP will not be aligned with the Green Deal. I deeply regret that, and I think that the Commission could have avoided that. The other thing I want to say is that there will be many attempts to gut your plans of the European Green Deal. Resist them. We will be with you to do that.

Αυτά που είπατε για τον κοινωνικό πυλώνα τα λέτε εδώ και τρία χρόνια, αλλά ελάχιστα έχουν γίνει. Αυτά που είπατε για περισσότερη αλληλεγγύη τα λέτε χρόνια, αλλά εξακολουθεί να εφαρμόζεται μια άδικη πολιτική με ελλιπή αλληλεγγύη στο προσφυγικό/μεταναστευτικό που πλήττει και τη χώρα μου, την Ελλάδα, και αδικεί και την Ευρώπη διότι δημιουργεί Μόριες. Αυτά που είπατε για την κλιματική αλλαγή και την ψηφιακή μετάβαση πρέπει επίσης να τα δούμε να μεταφράζονται και σε γραμμές προϋπολογισμού.  Επίσης, στο θέμα των διαπραγματεύσεων για τον νέο πολυετή προϋπολογισμό —αν θέλετε να είστε honest broker, κύριε Šefčovič— εσείς της Επιτροπής δεν πρέπει να ευθυγραμμίζεστε με το Συμβούλιο αλλά να διαδραματίσετε έναν ρόλο διαμεσολαβητή ανάμεσα στο Κοινοβούλιο και το Συμβούλιο, διότι χρειαζόμαστε περισσότερη και καλύτερη Ευρώπη και αυτή απαιτεί ισχυρότερους πόρους, ίδιους και ουσιαστικούς.

Como socialistas, incidimos en la necesidad que el plan de recuperación y el MFP no pueden paralizarse porque son cruciales para la recuperación económica. Además, la Unión Europea de la Salud es una urgencia que debe cumplirse correctamente. Debemos acelerar las transiciones digital y verde garantizando que sean justas, eficaces y duraderas. Saludamos el compromiso de la Comisión de presentar un plan de acción para garantizar la plena aplicación del pilar europeo de derechos sociales, pero necesitamos luchar contra la pobreza y proteger a los trabajadores europeos vulnerables a la transformación digital. La Unión Europea necesita una equidad fiscal en toda Europa y una flexibilidad en las reglas fiscales durante varios años; las medidas como el Régimen Europeo de Reaseguro de Desempleo, deben realmente implementarse.  Saldremos de esta crisis a través de la solidaridad: solidaridad entre personas, regiones y Estados miembros, con los migrantes que necesitan caminos seguros y legales.

2020 is not yet over but we need to be decisive in looking towards 2021, and the European Commission’s Working Programme is a unique opportunity for achieving great acceleration of change and prosperity. Yes, we need to push towards a comprehensive green and digital transition that makes our societies and economies more resilient. Also, we must ensure that the pandemic will not deepen the inequalities and leave the most vulnerable aside. I welcome the adoption of the 10-year EU Roma Strategic Framework. 2021 will see the efforts directed to put forward new targets and recommendations for Member States and ensure that the EU does more in providing the vital support that so many Roma living in the EU need. Marginalisation persists, and many Roma continue to face a combination of disproportionate discrimination, anti-gypsyism and socio-economic exclusion in their daily lives that is worsened each day because of the overwhelming global health crisis we are living.
