Debate: Right to repair

Language: EN

Madam President, this week, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) highlighted that we need to reduce emissions now across all sectors. We need to make the ambitions of the circular economy a reality. That means ensuring that products last longer and can be repaired.  Consumers, of course, want to be empowered to make decisions based on the environmental and the overall cost of a product. We've all experienced the frustrating scenarios whereby the spare parts are not available or they are too expensive and the recommendation is to buy a new item, where the screen or the battery of our phone or iPad or electronic product can’t be replaced and, again, the advice is to purchase a new product.  It's frustrating, it's costly and, in today's environmentally challenged world, it’s not good enough. And there is a demand from consumers, we all know of the polling, such reports like this we have from numerous results; they want more information when purchasing – information on the durability, the ability to repair and the environmental impact of the production, use and disposal of the product. And these questions can and they will be addressed, through the supply chains, more innovative design and the wide availability of spare parts, similar items to local repair businesses.  But this won't happen without effective legislation and now, following the closing of Commission’s public consultation, we look forward to that legislation and the introduction of the right to repair over the coming months.

Indeed, as Ms Schaldemose said, ‘we do not have two and a half planets, we just have one’. So it’s high time we do more for more sustainable consumption, which is more environmentally friendly. We try to do it in a holistic way, coordinating policy actions between different policy areas. Only such an approach can reconcile all related aspects and interests with the overall aim of more sustainable consumption and effective consumer rights, as well as the interests of the manufacturing industry and the retail and repair business.  As we heard here several times, we should avoid disproportionate costs. It must not be projected into increased prices for the consumers, and it should be a win—win situation, as Dita Charanzová said. We also heard, for instance from Mr Schwab and Mr Jurzyca, about the point or aspect of innovations. We should not hinder innovations by introducing measures which would go against technological development. You spoke about refrigerators here and some domestic machines and devices. I love the manual meat grinder which I got from my granny. I love it. It’s the oldest thing I have in my household. It’s even older than me, and it’s very sustainable. More than 70 years old. Can you imagine? This is real quality. But I do not think that we want to use these manual things forever so we understand that we have to be open to technological innovations as well. Your resolution is a most valuable input and support for our common political aim to achieve more sustainable consumption. On behalf of the Commission, I can confirm that we strongly count on the European Parliament to support the Commission proposals on the table and the coming one and to deal with this in a swift manner.

Po nadobudnutí účinnosti tejto právnej normy by sa mali výrobky navrhovať tak, aby vydržali dlhšie a zároveň aby sa dali bezpečne opraviť. Spotrebiteľ by mal mať súčasne bezplatný prístup k informáciám o opravách a údržbe. Je jasné, že výrobcom sa to veľmi nepáči, ale zabezpečenie opravy spôsobí posilnenie celého surovinového reťazca a umožní tvorbu nových pracovných miest. Odteraz budú musieť výrobcovia uvádzať na výrobku informácie o životnosti, a tým sa vytvorí tlak na ich dlhšiu životnosť.

Mr President, Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill, responding to a request that he intervenes with Russia’s leaders, with whom he is in a very close partnership, to end the war in Ukraine, accused the West of disregarding Russia’s security concerns and stoking tensions between the two countries in a bid to weaken Russia. He blessed the Russian troops fighting in Ukraine later.  Any religion can serve and become a tool in a war of  propaganda and disinformation. That’s why, dear colleagues, I prepare and ask your support for the following oral amendment, I quote: ‘Condemns the role of Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, Head of the Russian Orthodox Church, for providing theological cover for Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. Praises the courage of 300 priests of the Russian Orthodox Church who have signed a letter condemning the aggression, grieving over the ordeal of the Ukrainian people and asking to stop the war.’

Znanstvenici ističu da su mentalni problemi često izraženiji uzrok obolijevanja i preranog umiranja nego tjelesne bolesti. Taj podatak ukazuje na potrebu ulaganja u mentalno zdravlje, uključujući rano otkrivanje i liječenje poremećaja, čime se doprinosi dobrobiti i gospodarskoj koristi pojedinaca i društva.  Pandemija COVID-19 i gospodarska kriza koja je uslijedila predstavljale su veliki teret za mentalno stanje građana, naročito za mlade ljude i osobe iz skupina s nižim dohotkom. Naši građani osjećali su neizvjesnost, promjenu svakodnevne rutine, strah za egzistenciju te socijalnu izolaciju. Sukladno podacima Svjetske zdravstvene organizacije, u prvoj godini pandemije broj slučajeva anksioznosti i depresije porastao je za ogromnih 25 posto, što je izrazito zabrinjavajuće. Zaštita mentalnog zdravlja stoga treba biti prioritet Europske unije naročito u svjetlu pandemije, ali i posljedica rata u Ukrajini, posebno za velik broj izbjeglica iz te zemlje.  Ono što bih posebno istaknuo je da nam je potrebna zajednička strategija za mentalno zdravlje na tragu Europskog plana za borbu protiv raka. Nužno je da se na europskoj razini poveća učinkovitost i dostupnost sustava zaštite mentalnog zdravlja. Moramo poticati interdisciplinarnu suradnju, kao i povećanje integracije zaštite mentalnog zdravlja u primarnu zdravstvenu zaštitu. To će pridonijeti razvoju zdravstvenih usluga koje pružaju usmjereniju i koordiniranu skrb osobama s mentalnim poremećajima. Također, potrebna je uspostava mreža za razmjenu znanja za učinkovitu provedbu najboljih praksi.  Zaključno, istaknuo bih nužnost većeg ulaganja od strane država članica, ali i Europske unije u mentalno zdravlje odnosno programe zaštite i unapređenja mentalnog zdravlja, naročito kod djece i mladih. Hvala lijepa.

Se os dados mostram algumas melhorias na atualização da legislação sobre saúde mental nos diferentes Estados-Membros, os níveis de implementação ainda deixam muito a desejar. É, por isso, necessário melhorar hoje o acesso aos serviços de saúde mental na comunidade e investir no desenvolvimento de políticas multissetoriais que reconheçam a natureza multifatorial da doença mental. Precisamos de recolhas padronizadas de dados, de serviços de saúde que deem resposta aos problemas de saúde mental e de políticas baseadas na melhor evidência científica. É também, acima de tudo, essencial, combater o estigma e a exclusão social e laboral de todos os que sofrem com a doença mental.  E a Covid-19 ainda trouxe mais urgência a esta temática, nós sabemos. E, como o meu colega anteriormente referiu, a prevalência global de ansiedade e depressão aumentou em 25% relativamente a dados pré-pandémicos. Durante a pandemia, os serviços foram interrompidos, a telemedicina acentuou, em alguns casos, as desigualdades digitais pré— existentes e dificultou a acessibilidade à saúde. É urgente reduzir estas iniquidades.  Presidente, termino. Já passaram mais de 40 segundos desde que comecei a intervenção e uma pessoa já morreu por suicídio e 20 o tentaram. São estas as estatísticas. É urgente fazermos mais. É urgente fazermos melhor.

Mental health was already a critical issue in the European Union after the COVID-19 pandemic. But right now, with the aggression and the crisis that is caused by Russia, with the energy prices going up, we might have second pandemics. The pandemics of depression and anxiety caused by uncertainty, by hardship, by lack of hope. And we need to give back hope to the European citizens. We appreciate the efforts done in the field of occupational health and safety related to the agenda of the Swedish Presidency and all the efforts. We appreciate also the strategy on care. But as the Chair of the Employment and Social Affairs Committees, as a Renew Europe Member, I am coming today with the proposal towards you. Our citizens need a European strategy for mental health, for prevention, treatment and monitoring mental problems. Thank you so much. And we are looking forward to seeing that initiative.

Les systèmes de santé doivent faire face à des niveaux de stress, d’anxiété et de dépression élevés et variés. Les jeunes socio-économiquement défavorisés sont particulièrement exposés à ce risque. Des bouleversements radicaux et des changements sociaux rapides, y compris l’exposition soudaine à la pauvreté, l’abus de pouvoir ou les peurs existentielles, peuvent déclencher une détresse psychologique, d’autant plus que ces jeunes n’ont souvent ni les possibilités, ni les moyens de trouver un soutien adapté à leurs besoins, et que dans tous les pays les problèmes de santé mentale sont beaucoup plus fréquents chez les personnes les plus démunies. Afin de remédier à ces problèmes, nous devons mettre en place une stratégie européenne sur la santé mentale, qui mette en exergue, plus particulièrement, les problèmes de santé mentale rencontrés par les enfants et les jeunes adultes. Il est urgent aussi que nous proposions des services de soutien psychologique à bas seuil, des services qui soient accessibles et abordables. L’accès à ces services doit être facile et sans contrainte. Il est nécessaire d’analyser et d’enlever les barrières qui entravent l’accès aux soins et au soutien psychologique d’urgence. Dans ces moments extrêmement difficiles, nous nous devons de proposer des mesures sociales et financières destinées aux jeunes immigrés, à ceux appartenant à des groupes de minorités ainsi qu’aux personnes vivant dans des situations de précarité économique. Il est également essentiel de favoriser la prévention, le diagnostic précoce et un accès direct au soutien psychosocial individualisé afin de garantir un prompt rétablissement. Madame la Commissaire, il est temps de proposer une stratégie européenne pour la santé mentale. J’appelle la Commission à prendre aussi en compte la résolution du Parlement de juillet 2020 plaidant pour un plan d’action européen sur la santé mentale afin de faire face aux multiples facettes de la santé mentale, et plus particulièrement chez les jeunes et les enfants.

Wir haben schon seit Jahren die Grundlagen gelegt dafür, dass unsere Kinder, dass unsere Gesellschaft ihre Wurzeln verloren haben. Wir kappen unsere eigenen Wurzeln, wir zerstören unsere Fundamente, indem wir zum Beispiel versuchen, unseren Kindern ihre Identität, die sie in 99,99 Prozent aller Fälle klar wissen – dass sie eben wissen, der eine ist ein Junge und das andere ist ein Mädchen –, zu zerstören. Wir lassen sie hilflos und gestrandet und ohne irgendeinen Plan für ihr Leben da liegen und wundern uns dann, dass sie nicht mehr wissen, ob sie jetzt normal sind oder nicht normal sind. Das ist doch die eigentliche Ursache unserer Verlorenheit, die wir hier eigentlich auch haben. Wir haben in einer gewissen Weise unseren Kompass nicht beachtet, wir haben unser Ziel aus dem Auge verloren. Ich möchte daran erinnern, dass zum Beispiel in der amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitserklärung  Ich glaube, wir müssen wieder zurückkehren zu den Fundamenten. Wir müssen zurückkehren zu dem, wo zum Beispiel ein Augustinus schon vor 1700 Jahren gesagt hat: Wir ruhen nicht, unser Herz ruht nicht, es sei denn, es ruht in dir, o Gott. Wenn wir unseren Kompass und unsere Verankerung mit dem Göttlichen verloren haben, dann müssen wir uns nicht wundern, dass wir nicht mehr wissen, wie es weitergeht. Das müssen wir unseren Kindern vermitteln. Da müssen wir wieder zurückkehren zu diesem Normalen, zu dem, was ganz normal ist für jeden von uns. Mit Gottes Hilfe und mit Hilfe meiner Frau haben wir vier Mädchen und sechs Jungs großgezogen. Die sind alle auch durch die Pubertät gegangen. Die hatten auch ihre Probleme und ihre Schwierigkeiten, aber keiner von denen hat irgendwo mal riesige Probleme bekommen. Gott sei Dank! Und Gott sei Dank waren wir jetzt auch in dieser COVID-Krise resilient genug, um auch das alles zu überstehen. Trotzdem dürfen wir die Herausforderungen nicht einfach so auf die Seite schieben. Ich bin auch dankbar für jede Hilfe, die die Menschen bekommen, die Probleme haben. Aber lassen Sie uns klar sein: Allein diese medizinischen Hilfen für

Prawa pracowników, w tym do odłączenia się, powinny być poszanowane. Równie istotne są zasady bezpieczeństwa i higieny pracy. W pracy zdalnej brak ruchu i długie godziny przy biurku często bez właściwego wyposażenia domowego biura niosą za sobą ryzyko zaburzeń mięśniowo-szkieletowych, otyłości i cukrzycy. Natomiast w zakresie opieki zdrowotnej należy zapewnić nie tylko dostęp do lekarzy pierwszego kontaktu czy specjalistów, często w niektórych państwach członkowskich skandalicznie ograniczone lub niemożliwe w trakcie pandemii, lecz także do wsparcia psychologów i terapeutów. Inwestycje w lepsze warunki pracy, lepsze zarządzanie sytuacjami stresogennymi zwiększą wydajność i poprawią samopoczucie pracowników. Wypaleniu zawodowemu czy stanom lękowym można przeciwdziałać. Potrzebne są pilne działania, i te europejskie, i krajowe, i nie można ich odkładać na potem.

Poštovani predsjedavajući, poštovana povjerenice, kolegice i kolege, vremena u kojima živimo izazovna su za očuvanje našeg mentalnog zdravlja, a upravo danas, na Svjetski dan zdravlja, moramo se upitati jesmo li u posljednje dvije godine iscrpili svoje emocionalne rezerve. To je bilo vrijeme svakodnevne adaptacije na stres jer, osim genetske uvjetovanosti, upravo je mentalno zdravlje podložno brojnim čimbenicima poput sukoba socijalno-ekonomske pozadine, a sada i rata. Nošenje sa stresnim situacijama zahtijeva od nas prilagodbu i pronalaženje primjerenih strategija. Radi se o ozbiljnom problemu koji, budimo ozbiljni i recimo otvoreno, još uvijek je u nekim zemljama tabu tema.  Procjenjuje se kako su troškovi povezani s lošim mentalnim zdravljem u Europskoj uniji u predpandemijskom razdoblju dosezali 600 milijardi eura godišnje, oko 4 posto BDP-a. Očekuje se da bi ova brojka mogla biti puno veća u postpandemijskim godinama. Pri tome treba istaknuti posebno najizloženije skupine poput zdravstvenih djelatnika, mladih i djece. Radi se zapravo o horizontalnom pitanju na koje utječu politike u nizu sektora osim u zdravstvu, uključujući obrazovanje, zapošljavanje, borbu protiv siromaštva te brojnih drugih. Iz tog razloga smatram da nam je potreban holistički pristup kako bismo pružili adekvatne i održive odgovore na ovaj rastući zdravstveno sociološki izazov.  Posljednjih šest tjedana svjedoci smo svakodnevnim potresnim scenama iz ratom pogođene Ukrajine. Nasilju, smrti i nesigurnosti. Podržavam napore Komisije država članica zdravstvenih profesionalaca, kao i običnih ljudi koji u svakodnevnim kontaktima pomažu osobe raseljene iz Ukrajine. Hvala vam na svim vašim bezuvjetni iskazima solidarnosti. Pozivam Komisiju, ali i vas kolegice i kolege, na snažni angažman oko ove bitne teme. Uz svu dosadašnju potporu, ona još uvijek nije dovoljna. Problemi mentalnog zdravlja zaslužuju veću pažnju javnosti te izdašnije resurse za podršku, istraživanje i liječenje. Hvala vam lijepa.

Pane předsedající, paní komisařko, už před pandemií COVID-19 se problémy duševního zdraví týkaly asi 84 milionů Evropanů. A tohle číslo se ještě zdvojnásobilo právě během pandemie. A to nás stálo a stojí více než 4 % HDP, tedy více než 600 miliard EUR. Pandemie měla také dopad na psychické zdraví dětí. Výrazně stoupla četnost sebevražedných myšlenek. Mnoho dětí začala trápit deprese nebo úzkostlivé poruchy. A stoupl také počet poruch příjmu potravy nebo sebepoškozování. Dále se prohloubily potíže způsobené sociálním odloučením a problémem fyzického a psychického domácího násilí. S tím spojený problém je nedostatek dětských psychiatrů a psychologů. Situace v rámci Evropské unie se liší, ale v některých oblastech je péče zcela nedostupná anebo je dostupná až ve chvíli, kdy dítě pomýšlí na sebevraždu nebo se o ni už pokusilo. Péči o duševní zdraví nelze tedy nadále považovat za okrajové téma. Potřebujeme evropskou strategii v oblasti duševního zdraví. Ta se musí zabývat duševním zdravím ve všech jeho aspektech od prevence přes léčbu až po péči a pokrývat všechna odvětví politiky jako oblast zdraví, zaměstnanosti, financí, vzdělávání a také sociálních služeb. Ke zvýšení povědomí o duševním zdraví pomůže také vyhlášení Evropského roku duševního zdraví, který by urychlil destigmatizaci a poskytl zúčastněným stranám platformu pro výměnu a sdílení zkušeností a osvědčených postupů.

Monsieur le Président, Madame la Commissaire, merci pour les efforts que vous faites, mais il est temps pour la Commission de proposer une véritable stratégie européenne pour la santé mentale. Plusieurs instruments existent et présentent déjà une dimension de santé mentale. Santé au travail, salaire minimum, garantie pour l’enfance, fonds social européen: nous devons les articuler. Pour être plus efficace, notre approche devra être globale. La santé mentale est déterminée par des facteurs individuels et collectifs. Elle doit donc être prise en compte dans toutes les politiques européennes. Cela nécessite un engagement des États membres, mais aussi une coordination européenne des initiatives et des actions. Nous avons besoin de financements, mais aussi d’indicateurs pour cibler les domaines prioritaires, sur le modèle du registre des inégalités du cancer, car là aussi, la réduction des inégalités doit être prioritaire.

Mr President, this is the most important topic, also because of the crisis in Ukraine and the trauma that this is causing. A lack of mental health services threatens lives and human rights. I have also experienced that myself. When I was 15, we had a shooting at my school, because the shooter didn’t get the mental health aid that he was seeking before it was too late. And I myself suffered from depression. I think that this is something we must address here, because we know the solutions too. It is not a mystery how to solve mental health issues. We need to have therapy. Psychotherapy is effective; we know this from studies. In just four sessions, you can decrease depression symptoms. We need income, housing for people, and to reduce violence, because that leads to trauma, which is also a big cause of mental health problems. And this is, of course, something we must fix because as much as 50% of people who suffer from a mental health illness never get the help that they need. I am asking, as my colleagues have too, for a European Union mental health strategy and for more funding for mental health care and also research on this topic. We really do owe this especially to the children and young people who are suffering today.

Г-н Председател, г-жо Комисар, колеги, този въпрос и този дебат идват доста навреме след години, в които паниката и истерията владееха медиите. След години, в които гражданите на държавите членки на Европейския съюз бяха поставени в ситуация на тревожност и на напрежение, и е ясно, че това ще се отрази върху тяхното и ментално, и психично здраве.  Затова, уважаеми колеги, и най-вече към вас, уважаема г-жо Комисар, въпросът е следния и коментарът е следния. Ясно е, че преживяхме две години на несигурност, на паника, на трагедии. Нещо, което не се е случвало в рамките на последните повече от 100 години след испанската чума. Въпросът е какво направи Европейската комисия за тези две години и повече? Каква беше нейната реакция, какви бяха съобщенията, които изпращаше Европейската комисия, какви бяха действията, които предприе Европейската комисия, за да запази, да съхрани, да успокои гражданите на държавите членки на Европейския съюз? Какви бяха средствата, които бяха похарчени за различните видове кампании от тези, които влудяваха хората всеки ден, във всяка една медия, без значение дали е електронна, дали е социална мрежа, дали е печатна медия, в които се говореше непрекъснато за заплаха, за страх, за пандемия, за край, за нещо, което е извънредно и което е опасно.  Затова, уважаема г-жо Комисар, хубаво е да разберем колко струваше пропагандата на Европейската комисия по време на пандемията и ще разберем как това се е отразило върху психичното здраве на гражданите.
