Г-н Председател, уважаеми колеги, доволен съм от предложените изменения по текста на Комисията, защото обръщат внимание на може би най-тежко засегнатия сектор и това естествено е културата. Приветствам текста, защото отделя специално внимание, цитирам, на предприемачи и самостоятелно заети лица, включително лица на свободна практика, хора на изкуството и други творчески работници, които много по-трудно ще се възползват от финансирането на културните проекти и фондове.  Има една опасност обаче – културата отново да остане последна на опашката и да получи само огризките. Трябва ни по-твърд ангажимент и достатъчно средства, които да отидат за възстановяването на сектора. И преди е имало подобни законодателни формулировки, но без резултат. Време е да получим гаранции от Комисията и от Съвета, както и от държавите членки за някакъв процент от помощните средства, които ще отидат само за култура. Все пак това засяга 10 милиона души, които работят в този сектор и нека да гарантираме, че след като другите си разпределят хляба, както се казва, за хората на изкуството няма да останат само трохите от трапезата.

Κυρία Πρόεδρε, αγαπητή Επίτροπε κυρία Ferreira, αγαπητοί συνάδελφοι, θα ήθελα και από αυτό εδώ το βήμα να συγχαρώ όλους για την εξαιρετική δουλειά που έκαναν για την εκπόνηση του κειμένου, το οποίο συμβάλλει ώστε να έχουμε σήμερα μεγάλη πρόοδο στη συνοχή, αλλά και στην ανάκαμψη της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης. Το REACT-EU είναι μια πρωτοβουλία που θα βοηθήσει κυριολεκτικά στην ανάκαμψη και τη συνοχή των περιφερειών. Οι επιπλέον πόροι ως «νέο χρήμα», οι οποίοι θα διατεθούν μέσω των ταμείων, δίνουν τη δυνατότητα επιλογής των κρατών μελών για την κατανομή των κονδυλίων ανεξαρτήτως οικονομικού τομέα και έτσι προσφέρουν μια ουσιαστική και στοχευμένη ανάσα σε επιχειρήσεις και εργαζομένους.  Είναι σημαντικό να έχουμε άμεσα περιφερειακές χρηματοδοτήσεις ώστε να δρομολογηθούν επενδύσεις με σκοπό τη διατήρηση και δημιουργία θέσεων εργασίας, την ενίσχυση των συστημάτων υγειονομικής περίθαλψης όλων των βαθμίδων, καθώς και την παροχή κεφαλαίων κίνησης και στήριξης για επενδύσεις σε μικρές και μεσαίες επιχειρήσεις.  Ας μην ξεχνάμε ότι, εκτός από την πανδημία, είχαμε και μια δεκαετή οικονομική κρίση, η οποία έπληξε πολλά κράτη μέλη, ειδικά την Ελλάδα, και μια γενιά νέων ανθρώπων έχει πλέον χαθεί από τον παραγωγικό ιστό, καθότι επλήγησαν και από τα υψηλά ποσοστά ανεργίας. Θα προσπαθήσουμε να μην χαθεί άλλη μια γενιά νέων ανθρώπων με όνειρα και δημιουργικότητα.  Η αλληλεγγύη και το κράτος δικαίου δεν είναι προϊόντα υπό διαπραγμάτευση, αλλά αποτελούν κομμάτι του DΝA της ίδιας της ύπαρξης της Ευρώπης από την Αναγέννηση και τον Διαφωτισμό μέχρι σήμερα. Γι’ αυτό ορθώς όλα τα ευρωπαϊκά κονδύλια της ανάκαμψης και του πολυετούς προϋπολογισμού συνδέονται με το κράτος δικαίου. Χαίρομαι πραγματικά που το τελικό κείμενο, όπως έχει διαμορφωθεί, στηρίζει έμπρακτα τον οικονομικό και κοινωνικό ιστό των περιφερειών μας.

Signora Presidente, onorevoli colleghi, REACT-EU è uno strumento innovativo e di fondamentale importanza messo in campo dall'Unione europea per rispondere alla crisi, innanzitutto perché fornisce preziose risorse aggiuntive, quasi 50 miliardi di euro, per rafforzare programmi chiave come il Fondo sociale europeo, l'iniziativa per l'occupazione giovanile, il Fondo europeo di sviluppo regionale e il fondo per l'aiuto agli indigenti, in modo da aiutare nel contrasto agli effetti più gravi della pandemia e i territori e le fasce di popolazione più colpiti. Per l'Italia, il mio paese, significa 11,3 miliardi di euro, la quota più ampia tra i paesi dell'Unione.  REACT-EU inoltre introduce una serie di misure per facilitare l'utilizzo dei fondi europei, facendo da ponte tra le risorse della programmazione attualmente in corso e il bilancio del prossimo settennato. La possibilità quindi dell'incremento dell'anticipo di risorse è estremamente importante perché fornirà liquidità agli Stati membri e alle regioni in difficoltà, mentre l'aumentata quota del cofinanziamento garantirà un più rapido e completo assorbimento dei fondi a disposizione. Sarebbe infatti un errore imperdonabile lasciare risorse non utilizzate nelle casse dell'Unione per complessità burocratiche o per i limiti della programmazione dei fondi strutturali, nel contesto di estrema necessità in cui ci troviamo. Non possiamo però fermarci qui – lo voglio dire – da questo strumento straordinario e temporaneo deve proseguire un'iniziativa politica proprio dal Parlamento europeo, per rendere permanenti le grandi iniziative decise in questo periodo: Next Generation EU, il debito comune, una nuova fiscalità europea e questo approccio innovativo ai fondi strutturali di cui stiamo parlando. Non possiamo perdere questa occasione.

Madam President, REACT—EU is the immediate response of the European Union to tackle the consequences of the Covid pandemic, which has hit our citizens and our economy hard. We have freed EUR 54 billion in record time in order to support SMEs through investments into jobs and growth. Almost a quarter of the fund is going to social measures, because we see how EU citizens struggle. Many have lost loved ones; many jobs are at risk; food banks have been used more than average, even in the wealthiest countries. And we don’t know how long this will take. REACT—EU will help citizens to have a more positive outlook and some reassurance, but governments must deploy this fund quickly and purposefully. So, dear colleagues, let’s vote in favour of the proposal to help our citizens, because today, together, we will build the foundation of our future in Europe.

Senhora Presidente, caras e caros Colegas, Senhora Comissária Elisa Ferreira, eu queria claramente definir neste quadro uma situação muito importante e muito particular do REACT-EU. É um apoio adicional, bem o sabemos, mas que tem, para além de um acesso simplificado, um financiamento para investimentos em vários domínios, como é sabido, a saúde, a educação a formação, o emprego, as PME e, sem nunca esquecer, os territórios transfronteiriços e tem, nesse procedimento simplificado, um financiamento a 100%.  Só estas duas razões já bastariam para nós ficarmos plenamente satisfeitos. Mas há outras, igualmente importantes, e eu queria chamar a atenção, pela minha experiência própria sei bem quanto, no meu país e, com certeza em muitos outros, é nas administrações locais muito próximo das populações que se sentem essas verdadeiras necessidades. São elas que podem agir com rapidez, com eficácia e de uma forma muito mais adequada.  Espero, por isso, que estas possibilidades de investimento sejam implementadas dessa forma célere, em particular nas regiões menos desenvolvidas, nas regiões ultraperiféricas, para que este duplo objetivo da transição ecológica e digital a que a União se propôs possam ser concretizados. A Europa, de facto, fez o seu papel e as minhas felicitações à Senhora Comissária Elisa Ferreira. Agora é tempo de os Estados-Membros agirem e eu espero, e desejo sinceramente, que possamos com este REACT-EU dar também o passo significativo em cada um dos Estados-Membros e, em particula,r nas regiões mais desfavorecidas.

Κυρία Πρόεδρε, δεν υπάρχει καμία αμφιβολία ότι το Ταμείο REACT-EU των 47 δισεκατομμυρίων ευρώ θα μπορέσει να βοηθήσει τις οικονομίες των χωρών μελών της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης, που σήμερα δοκιμάζονται από μία πανδημική κρίση, η οποία σάρωσε τα πάντα στο πέρασμά της και αφήνει πίσω της και υγειονομικά και κοινωνικοοικονομικά ερείπια.  Για να βοηθήσει ουσιαστικά αυτό το Ταμείο, θεωρώ απαραίτητη προϋπόθεση να διοχετευθούν αυτά τα χρήματα κατευθείαν στην πραγματική οικονομία, να στηριχθούν οι μικρομεσαίες επιχειρήσεις, οι οποίες βρίσκονται σε οριακό σημείο και κινδυνεύουν με οριστικό κλείσιμο και να στηριχθούν οι τομείς που πραγματικά έχουν ανάγκη. Και έχουν ανάγκη όλοι οι τομείς της οικονομίας, γιατί πλήττονται οι μικρομεσαίες επιχειρήσεις, οι αγρότες, οι διάφοροι παραγωγικοί κλάδοι της οικονομίας, ακόμα και κοινωνικές ομάδες, οι οποίες κινδυνεύουν να βρεθούν για μια ακόμη φορά στο περιθώριο, οι άνεργοι, οι ευάλωτες ομάδες, οι μονογονεϊκές οικογένειες, οι πολύτεκνες οικογένειες, όλοι αυτοί που πραγματικά βρίσκονται σε πολύ πιο κρίσιμη κατάσταση απ’ ό,τι βρίσκεται οποιοσδήποτε άλλος.  Για τον λόγο αυτό απαιτούμε από την Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση όχι μόνο να εξαγγέλλει τα 750 δισεκατομμύρια για το Ταμείο Ανάκαμψης, αλλά αυτά τα χρήματα να εισέλθουν με ευέλικτες διαδικασίες, μακριά από τις γνωστές γραφειοκρατικές διαδικασίες της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης, μακριά από εκείνες τις διαδικασίες που ουσιαστικά αποθαρρύνουν τους πολίτες. Ιδιαίτερα δε οι νότιες χώρες, οι χώρες όπως η πατρίδα μου η Κύπρος, επλήγησαν ανεπανόρθωτα γιατί βασίζονταν στον τουριστικό τομέα και στο τουριστικό προϊόν, το οποίο μηδενίστηκε. Αυτές τις χώρες και αυτές τις επιχειρήσεις που μέχρι σήμερα δεν πήραν ούτε ένα ευρώ, αυτές τις τουριστικές επιχειρήσεις και αυτούς τους κλάδους οφείλει να στηρίξει το Ταμείο ανάκαμψης, το REACT-EU, πριν να είναι αργά.  Ήδη σήμερα μας παρακολουθούν οι Ευρωπαίοι πολίτες, οι μικρομεσαίες επιχειρήσεις, οι κοινωνικές ομάδες, οι άνεργοι και αναμένουν από εμάς να τους δώσουμε λύσεις. Ήδη αργήσαμε. Είναι η ώρα της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης. Και η Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση πρέπει, με ένα ηχηρό «παρών» αλλά και με μια δύναμη που θα δίνει προοπτική, ζωντάνια και έξοδο από τις σημερινές κοινωνικές και οικονομικές κρίσεις, να δώσει τις απαντήσεις που όλοι περιμένουμε και που όλοι προσδοκούμε από την Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση.

Poštovana predsjedavajuća, REACT-EU predstavlja jedan od instrumenata za rješavanje gospodarskog pada uzrokovanog neviđenom pandemijom Covid-a 19. Obustavljanje i usporavanje gospodarske aktivnosti nanijelo je ogromnu ekonomsku i društvenu štetu, a kohezijska politika ključni je instrument u borbi protiv tih posljedica. REACT-EU dodatni je korak u pružanju pomoći državama članicama.  Osigurat će im dodatna sredstva za očuvanje radnih mjesta, teritorijalnu suradnju i pripremu zelenog, digitalnog i otpornog gospodarskog oporavka. U tom smislu želim istaknuti da se sredstvima iz REACT-EU prvenstveno mora pomoći slabije razvijenim državama članicama, a posebno onima koje su zbog svoje strukture gospodarstva najpogođenije pandemijom. Tu mislim prvenstveno na one države koje su u velikoj mjeri ovisne o turizmu i uslužnom sektoru koji su pretrpjeli najveću štetu zbog pandemije. Naravno, spomenuo bih i granične regije kojoj su zbog ograničenja mobilnosti pretrpjele također velike posljedice za vrijeme ove epidemije.  Posebno pozdravljam činjenicu da su usvojeni amandmani mene i mojih kolega iz EPP-a prema kojima će se iznos od 47,5 milijardi eura moći koristiti za ulaganja u proizvode i usluge u području zdravstva, uključujući prekogranično zdravstvene usluge i domove za skrb, za infrastrukturu namijenjenu pružanju osnovnih usluga, za osobe koje žive u ruralnim, pograničnim, manje razvijenim otočnim, planinskim i rijetko naseljenim regijama te posebno za snažniju suradnju i koordinaciju u području zdravstva pomoću  izgradnje i razvoja centara izvrsnosti specijaliziranih za razvoj posebnih zahvata za nove zdravstvene potrebe. I na kraju pozdravljam stopu sufinanciranja od strane Europske unije do 100 posto jer upravo je ona odraz one solidarnosti na kojoj se zasniva Europska unija i koja garantira da će pomoć stići onima kojima je ona najpotrebnija.

Doamna președintă, doamna comisar, doamnelor și domnilor colegi, în contextul actualei pandemii, care afectează întreaga planetă, populația se confruntă cu o serie de probleme de ordin economic și social. Pandemia a afectat în special întreprinderile mici și mijlocii în toată Uniunea Europeană, ceea ce a făcut ca multe IMM-uri să falimenteze, iar unele să se afle la limita supraviețuirii. La începutul acestei crize sanitare, închiderea frontierelor naționale a dus la un real blocaj economic, afectând deplasarea lucrătorilor și creșterea șomajului în statele membre. Uniunea Europeană a reacționat însă rapid, a arătat responsabilitate și solidaritate, încercând și reușind o protejare eficientă pentru toți cetățenii, salariații și întreprinderile afectate.  S-au creat o serie de programe și ajutoare financiare pentru a limita efectele negative ale pandemiei. Programul REACT-EU a fost conceput pentru a salva țările membre ale Uniunii Europene ale căror economii și locuri de muncă au fost mai grav afectate. Acest program va încerca să limiteze diferențele naționale de abordare a efectelor crizei, pentru a nu se crea decalaje regionale. Șomajul în întreaga Uniune Europeană se așteaptă să crească la 8,6 % în 2021, ca urmare a pandemiei Coronavirus. Prin urmare, programul trebuie să pună accentul pe evitarea riscului de a avea o generație pierdută și crearea de noi locuri de muncă, și bineînțeles, consolidarea celor existente. Vor fi necesare politici îndrăznețe. REACT-EU are toate instrumentele necesare pentru a oferi statelor membre un set de răspunsuri eficiente la actuala criză, inclusiv prin simplificarea procedurilor de cheltuire a banilor europeni.

I would like to reply in these two minutes by underlining that in fact, the Commission and cohesion policy reacted and gave the answer already in April with the support of this Parliament and with the support of the Council, and so cohesion policy once again demonstrated that it was there to act and to support when support is needed. Flexibilities are already there in the Coronavirus Response Investment Initiative (CRII), and so this is a continuation of this project and this programme until 2023. I would also like to underline that in fact, there was disagreement with going fast, and we share this concern. We have got to remind ourselves that after the European Council’s conclusions last Friday and this week’s plenary debate, I hope that the remaining procedures for the approval of the NextGenerationEU will go very fast so that the money reaches the citizens, the regions. On some comments that were made on which sectors, which regions we are proposing, it was approved by this Parliament and by the Presidency to concentrate efforts on countries and regions more in need of help. And so, what we are talking about is regions now that suffer the most and are less capable of helping themselves. I would like to finalise by thanking all those that had very complimentary words towards the Commission. I think the Commission did what it was supposed to do, and I would like to thank the incredible work done by the chair Younous Omarjee, by the rapporteurs Andrey Novakov, Constanze Krehl, Agnes Jongerius, and in those names I’m complimenting and thanking all the teams that in a very cooperative way and in a very convergent way were able to bridge differences. In fact, they improved, together with the Presidency, the initial proposal from the Commission and I thank you for that. So let’s go on working together. There is a lot to be done. This is just, as you mentioned, the first step to transforming the immediate support into a more prolonged and a more stable, more green, more balanced and more digital, recovery of Europe.

The Eastern Partnership countries deserve the same, maybe a little bit later. It’s a pity that from the EU side we are still not able to promise a more clear vision of Eastern Partnership integration, and that creates unnecessary frustrations and a loss of hopes and dreams in those countries. But what we can do is to show where, in which place, the Eastern Partnership countries are on their road towards integration. Let’s start to produce regular evaluation and benchmarking reports; let’s compare not only the Eastern Partnership countries among themselves, let’s compare Eastern Partnership and Western Balkan countries on their path towards integration. Comparison will bring a sense of progress and perspective and also dynamism of competition. That is what is very much needed for the Eastern Partnership region.

Belarus is in turmoil for the fifth month now. There is an intensifying crackdown on peaceful demonstrations, arrests and torture. In this situation, the EU must halt all cooperation with the government and redirect assistance to the opposition and civil society until new and legitimate elections take place in Belarus. Another sudden explosion of a fully-fledged military conflict in the Nagorno-Karabakh region took the EU by surprise. Fortunately, a ceasefire has been brokered, but the EU’s role was very limited. Whereas Moldova, Ukraine and Georgia appear to be more stable, it is noteworthy that they went through a complex electoral season, and while the process appears to have been reasonably well managed in Ukraine and Moldova, the aftermath of the parliamentary elections in Georgia is, of course, of serious concern. The political parties in Georgia should resume dialogue with the aim of reaching an agreement, so that all members of parliament would work in the parliament and adopt electoral and judicial reforms in the interest of Georgian citizens and EU-Georgia relations. The aim of the Eastern Partnership is to work towards achieving political association and economic integration to promote well-being. We need to rethink our approach to conflict resolution, enhancing civil protection, promotion of international law principles and countering hybrid threats. In light of this year’s developments, the Eastern Partnership needs to be re-examined to ensure its efficiency in the future.

C’est même la certitude pour les pays qui en sont membres de voir de plus en plus d’ingérence de l’Union européenne dans leurs affaires. En Moldavie, on s’aperçoit que, finalement, les accords de subvention dépendent par moments du résultat des élections. Au Bélarus, l’Union européenne a décidé de passer à la vitesse supérieure et, à entendre certains de nos collègues, un sondage sur internet suffit désormais pour choisir qui a gagné les élections présidentielles.  Mais je pense que cela n’a en réalité aucune importance. Quand on se satisfait d’avoir une politique étrangère qui applique des sanctions, j’ai envie de vous demander, Monsieur le Haut représentant: quel a été le résultat de ces sanctions? Depuis 2014, la Russie est sous sanctions. Désormais, c’est le Bélarus. Sérieusement, est-ce que l’un d’entre nous pense que ça va les faire changer d’avis? La réponse est non. On n’a jamais vu des sanctions faire plier un pays.  Est-ce qu’il n’est pas temps d’avoir un autre dialogue? Car je pense que, au sein de l’Union européenne, toutes nos nations sont égales, mais certaines consentent des efforts financiers et humains pour maintenir une politique étrangère et militaire indépendante. D’autres, visiblement, ont décidé de suivre les consignes de l’OTAN. À ce titre, entendre des personnalités éminentes de la CDU allemande refuser l’idée même d’une autonomie stratégique vis-à-vis de l’OTAN donne une véritable image de la réalité.  Voilà pourquoi nous ne pouvons nous satisfaire de ce Partenariat oriental qui, pour nous, en réalité, est certes un instrument pour distribuer des aides dans ces pays, mais qui malheureusement, depuis dix ans, n’a abouti à aucun résultat véritablement concret.

We have had Belarus cracking down on peacefully-protesting citizens, increasing polarisation in Moldova, a democratic backslide in Georgia, Ukraine’s constitutional crisis, and the revived war in Nagorno Karabakh – Armenia and Azerbaijan blaming each other for the ceasefires and attacking civilians. The status quo kept for years brought the violence again, which is never a way for peace. There is a need for serious debate about the future. Nevertheless, regarding the issues in the Eastern Partnership, I am more disappointed in the EU’s approach and so-called common foreign and security policy. We have 27 foreign and security policies, and it shows in our incapability of doing more than these hearings and occasional sanctions. We must have a more substantial, better—united foreign and security policy that will stand behind human rights. Without it, we might just start to call ourselves the European Economy Community again.

Czy byliśmy zatem bardziej aktywni wobec partnerów Partnerstwa Wschodniego? Też nie. W konflikcie ormiańsko-azerskim nie zaistnieliśmy. Tam kwestię przywrócenia pokoju przyjęły na siebie Rosja i Turcja. W Mołdawii nastąpiły pozytywne zmiany, ale też nie pod flagą Unii Europejskiej. Na Ukrainie coraz bardziej liczą na wsparcie NATO, a nie Unii Europejskiej. Białoruś walczy o demokrację pod swoim narodowym sztandarem, ale nie pod sztandarami Unii Europejskiej. Unia Europejska nie staje się więc magnesem przyciągającym.  Czy będzie więc Partnerstwo Wschodnie nadal wieczną poczekalnią, czy będzie ewoluować? Czy zaoferujemy sektorową współpracę? Czy odważymy się wreszcie postawić kwestię członkostwa? Czy będziemy więc mnożyć warunki współpracy, których nawet nasi członkowie czasem nie spełniają?

Die europäische Nachbarschaftspolitik ist zweifellos komplex, aber es zeichnet sich klar ab: Unsere Unterstützung der demokratischen, sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung dieser Länder darf diese nicht vor konfrontative Entwicklungen stellen. Vielmehr muss ihnen diese Partnerschaft Dialog und Zusammenarbeit sowohl mit der EU als auch mit der Russischen Föderation erlauben.
