• 2026-07-07 “Muchas gracias. Por. Qué hacer si. No. Todos Espanoles ampliacion de la Union Europea antes y ahora a Moldavia, lo lo pueden tener no. Pero nosotros Los espanoles no hemos llegado aqui. El estudio interno filtrado del Consejo de la Union Europea en Los espanoles. Vamos a hacer el unico. A pesar de cobrar a pagar saben ustedes millones de euros de la pac menos para un agricultor en Espana o in Romania o en Portugal. En Italia también por Europa. Qué Moldavia con dos cuatro millones de Moldavia Como voluntario con refugiados e Moldavia con una corruption sistémica por ciento del PB. Amigo mio meter ahora mismo. Ademas, un territorio quinientos soldados rusos dentro en Transnistria con un referendum europeo. Por cierto, un cincuenta cuatro por ciento gracias a la diaspora, porque uno de cada tres Moldova, Vivian fuera de su pais. En fin entiendo. Algunos si pero Los diputados espanoles apoyan esto me parece surrealista. Gracias, president.”

• 2026-06-15 “(19:06:40 – 19:07:58): Thank you, president. Commissioner, your own vice president, mister Chisholm has said today that €300,000,000,000 going from Europe to more attractive markets, that's why we need to sign this kind of agreement. Have we asked who's leaving? Maybe they're fleeing from the taxes, the legal uncertainty that we've been calling out for a long time. 3 months ago, we were told that, energy prices were unbearable. Following what policy? That of China or the commission? We're told that China and, US have been making it making us dependent, but this the answer seems to be more European preference, more European rules, more European more Brussels, basically. If the problem is in excess of Brussels, can the solution really be more Brussels? I don't think we can solve this by making more laws.”

• 2026-01-28 “E-000331/2026 Answer given by Mr Várhelyi on behalf of the European Commission The European Medicines Agency (EMA) adopted a positive opinion in February 2025 recommending the granting of the marketing authorisation for Vyjuvek 1 . On 24 April 2025, the Commission granted it an EU-wide marketing authorisation 2 . It is the responsibility of the marketing authorisation holder to apply for pricing and reimbursement at Member State level and supply the medicine to patients. The Commission is aware of the differences in access to medicines and especially orphan medicines at EU level. It recognises the importance of equal access to treatments and has launched initiatives to support it. The EU pharmaceutical legislation promotes the development of treatments for rare diseases through regulatory incentives and free scientific advice from the EMA 3 . The revision of the legislation aims to accelerate patient access through a priority medicines scheme with enhanced scientific advice, rolling reviews for promising medicines for unmet medical need, faster assessments and new access provisions. Under the latter, Member States may request marketing authorisation holders to ensure the availability and continuous supply of authorised medicines. Marketing authorisation holders may be asked to comply with specific procedures, such as pricing applications, procurement procedures, and establishing roll-out plans. If they fail to make the product available within three years, they risk losing the market protection for that medicine, allowing generics or biosimilars to enter the market earlier in that country. In addition, the currently discussed Critical Medicines Act 4 will make it possible that such pharmaceuticals, as medicinal products of common interest, benefit from procurement collaboration between Member States. 1 Vyjuvek: https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/medicines/human/EPAR/vyjuvek. 2 EU Register of medicinal products: https://ec.europa.eu/health/documents/community-register/html/h1918.htm. 3 Orphan medicinal products: https://health.ec.europa.eu/medicinal-products/orphan-medicinal-products_en. 4 COM(2025) 102 final.”

• 2026-01-08 “Answer given by Ms Albuquerque on behalf of the European Commission 31.3.2026 Written question Anti-money laundering rules require obliged entities to apply customer due diligence measures, including identifying and verifying customers and beneficial owners as well as examining the source of funds where appropriate [1] to prevent the integration of illicit proceeds into the financial system . The qualification of conduct as money laundering depends on the criminal origin of the funds, not on the formal legality of the subsequent transaction [2] . Member States are required to ensure that such conduct is punishable as a criminal offence [3] . The Commission does not hold information on individual assets or their ownership and is not competent to investigate specific cases of money laundering. The initiation of investigations and the application of criminal measures fall within the responsibility of Member States. National authorities may rely on EU tools such as joint investigation teams and the European Investigation Order, and the support of the EU Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation and the EU Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation, which play a key role in coordination, information-sharing and cross-border investigations. The EU Financial Intelligence Units’ Platform (FIU.Net), which is part of the EU Anti-Money Laundering/Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) framework, enables EU Financial Intelligence Units to exchange and crossmatch suspicious transaction information swiftly and securely, facilitating the early detection of cross-border illicit financial flows and improving follow-up by competent authorities [4] . The Anti-Money Laundering Authority supports and coordinates national AML/CFT supervisors and FIUs, including by fostering joint analyses of complex cases and promoting convergence of supervisory practices across Member States [5] . [1] Article 13(1) of Directive (EU) 2015/849, OJ L 141, 5.6.2015, pp. 73-117. [2] Article 1(3) of Directive (EU) 2015/849. [3] Article 3(1) of Directive (EU) 2018/1673, OJ L 284, pp. 22-30. [4] Article 51 of Directive (EU) 2015/849 . [5] Regulation (EU) 2024/1620, OJ L, 2024/1620, 19.6.2024.”

• 2025-01-13 “E-000095/2025 Answer given by Mr Jørgensen on behalf of the European Commission The Commission recognises the role of nuclear energy in contributing to energy security and decarbonisation while the decision on its use remains with each Member State 1 . In 2040, it is expected 2 that over 90% of the electricity consumption in the EU will rely on decarbonised sources, primarily renewables, complemented by cost efficient clean sources. The EU has been addressing critical risks to its security of energy supply while accelerating the transition towards climate neutrality. Achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 could cut energy import dependency from 61% in 2019 to below 30% by 2040 3 , with notable progress being made on renewable energy 4 . Also, recent legislative initiatives 5 support EU industry to face global competition in net-zero technologies. The launch of the European Industrial Alliance on Small Modular Reactors also aims to enhance EU technological leadership in this emerging nuclear technology, which would support EU’s energy autonomy. The Commission ensures that Member States using nuclear energy comply with the Euratom Treaty and its derived legislation 6 , implementing the highest standards and continuous improvement of nuclear safety, responsible and safe waste management, radiation protection, and nuclear safeguards. To this end, the Commission makes use of the expertise and experience of Member States’ nuclear safety regulatory authorities through the European Nuclear Safety Regulators Group 7 . 1 Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Article 194: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legalcontent/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A02016E%2FTXT-20240901 2 Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions: ‘Securing Europe's 2040 climate target and path to climate neutrality by 2050 building a sustainable, just and prosperous society’ - https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legalcontent/EN/TXT/?uri=COM%3A2024%3A63%3AFIN 3 SWD(2024) 63 final, section 6.2. 4 In the first half of 2024, half of the EU's electricity generation came from renewable sources.

It is composed of senior officials from the national nuclear safety, radioactive waste safety or radiation protection regulatory authorities and senior civil servants with competence in these fields from all Member States in the European Union and representatives of the European Commission. ENSREG’s role is to help to establish the conditions for continuous improvement and to reach a common understanding in the areas of nuclear safety and radioactive waste management.”

• “(15:22:07 – 15:25:26): Thank you, chair, and thank you to the experts for this very interesting study to which we have been contributing as well with oral and written replies. And, of course, we will carefully look at the recommendations in view of the ongoing discussions with 2 co co legislators on this whole framework. A lot of risks have been identified in the study, but I would like to flag that this is not only about risk, but also about opportunities and and, possibilities ahead. And in this context, we very much welcome the observation that the new legal context aims to largely maintain, the strategic alignment of the current year MFAV with the common, fisheries policy whilst aiming to provide for simplification and greater flexibility and that the architecture and proposal is fully implementing supporting the full implementation of the CFP. In many interventions, we had a reference to the ring fenced amount of €2,000,000,000. It has been said before, but I would like, to repeat it here. This is indeed a minimal amount, a minimal amount which cannot be, let's say, diverted to any, other purpose, but which can be topped up by the member state to further fully implement the common fisheries policies. In addition, for any other maritime fisheries matters, which are of importance for the member state, the there's a pot of 453,000,000,000 available that the the member states can make use of in designing their national plans, which are not ring fenced. I welcome very much as well that the study also referred to the EU Competitiveness Fund, the EU Competitiveness Fund, which will also play a role, of increased of increased importance to the fisheries, aquaculture sector. It will foster competitiveness, sustainability, resilience, etcetera, and it will it should support clean transition and decarbonization policies. In addition to the the, competitiveness front, I would also want to briefly flag the the global Europe instrument, which will support our, ocean diplomacy and our international, ocean governance and which is also aimed to strengthen our ties and links with non EU countries to support sustainable fisheries and IOU and deter IOU fishing where, applicable. So all things considered, we believe that there's potential funding for fisheries and aquaculture and blue economy sectors in the next, program period. But as I I said in the beginning, of course, we we welcome the study, and we look forward to reflect on, possible improvements together with the colleges leaders. Thank you. Thank you very much. So now I”

• “(11:34:22 – 11:37:22): Good morning, everyone. I will start by giving a brief overview of the situation of youth in Spain, but this is true for young people throughout the European Union. Now perhaps it's a bit obvious to say this, but it's actually not a negative overview. Young people in Spain and in Europe see becoming independent as a distant dream. Only 15 percent of people in Spain are able to leave their homes, and this is the worst situation it's been since, I mean, 15 years ago. We've had COVID. We've had other situations. And it's not just about numbers that our life plans are being put on hold, work plans. And this generation lives in uncertainty, and that is the norm. We don't know what the future holds for us. So the situation is becoming consistently worse. Public policies have improved the conditions of young people in the market, the working market in recent years, but there's still an elephant in the room, housing. 92% of a young person's salary has to go towards housing costs if they want to live on their own. Otherwise, they have to share a flat. If you want to buy a house in Spain, it would take 4 and a half years of our salary without using the money for anything else to buy a house. And so it's not just an economic issue. This is impacting the mental health of young people because this is constant uncertainty, and it's difficult to be young people. So living in shared housing with people that we don't know, living in poorly equipped housing, this just adds to the frustration and the lack of control over our lives and our ability to have a fulfilled life. So depression, anxiety, these are worse in people who are not able to become independent. We can't build a future because we don't have the possibility to become independent. Our materiality is precarious, and we're seeing that the measures that are being taken are not improving the situation for young people. Well, young people stop believing in a system. And we talk about the system. We're talking about the political classes and institutions because that is what is leading to disaffection in young people. What do we need? We need urgent measures. We must freeze rental prices with increasing cost of living. We have to take immediate measures because the European plan for housing is good. Okay? But there is a social crisis which has significant consequences. We must deal with that so that young people can once again dream about the future and actually have a future to dream of.”

• “Yeah. So I understand that I can't use those seats for that, but I wonder whether we can have a conversation without exchanging insults or calling each other fascists or whatever. Because I think today we're trying to reach a conclusion on a debate, which we all care about, and listening to you. I've been spending a lot of years listening to you talking about the issue of price controls for rents and so on. But in the places in Europe and in Spain where they have been introduced, rental prices have gone up, the rental prices have gone up and the supply has fallen in Barcelona, for example, by more than 20%. And that's because of that kind of policy. Every flat is now being offered at much higher prices. So. And the president has interrupted.”

• “(16:32:21 – 16:35:53): Thank you. And first of all, apologies for having had no slides here, today. We'll take that way away with us. Today, we are we are looking into the MFAV midterm evaluation. We have had the opportunity to to discuss the the the future, architecture earlier today. So so where we made our position rather rather clear and responded to your concerns and questions. So I'm not going to go in in-depth, there. I hear I hear what you're saying. Now looking at at the end of, some, some members refer to the fact that the the data is insufficient, is not up to date. First of all, it's important to note that this midterm evaluation is a legal obligation that we have and that we are complying with by presenting this to you today. We are looking at an an SE fund. And without wanting to become too technical, it is true that implementation of a shared management fund has a certain cycle, has a certain programming, let's say, phase to be followed, which which entails that startup in in many cases in the first couple of years can be perceived as as rather low. Not to forget that in the first years of implementation of the MFAV, we're still implementing the previous, program. EMFF, if I can give you an example, Ukraine crisis. The bulk of the Ukraine crisis support given under our funds or given under the previous, EMFF fund and not under the MFAP, irrespective of the fact that that was already the current programming period was, already starting. If if I can, m f f program projects, for example, they can run until '29, so way beyond the the the the current programming period. So the the architecture already caters for this kind of dichotomy between between programming periods in the implementation. The next evaluation indeed is the exposed evaluation in '29. Again, as the midterm evaluation, it is a legal obligation that, we will, be complying with. There were some references made to the, let's say, the rigidity of, the, MFFA rules and, the the the comments that were made by our commissioner in this regard. First of all, I'd like to emphasize that we have triggered article 26 that so that we have put in in in motion the the the MFAV program to to give the first support to our our fishers, our agriculture pros producers in in the in the context of the current energy crisis. And with regard to the, let's say, the the relevance of the current MPAF rules, the only thing I can say is that we are listening to our stakeholders, on a daily basis, and we are reflecting on how to respond to this, be it in the context of an empath amendment or any other. Thank you, chair.”

• “Thank you very much, Mr. President, to look at where fantastic people here. It seems that Europe has decided to save the world all on its own. Co2 from China or India, um, pollutes less because they still emitting. They continue committing, uh, emitting carbon like there is no tomorrow, but we'll just suck up all of the costs. I thought that we had voted to be MEPs here in this House, but obviously not the commission. No one votes for them. It says that half of half of the chair wants half of the half of the Parliament wants to be ahead of the UN. Look at there is increasing electricity prices, 60% of critical materials for Batteries and solar panels all come from China. So this farce of the Green Deal will, um, will will end. So this will all be thrown out the window. Uh, solar panels and wind turbines. No one talks about new electricity grids. No one talks about storage, uh, measures to address blackouts in Spain. Now, if we talk about defending nuclear energy here, people talk about Chernobyl, when the only thing that people know about, uh, Chernobyl is the Netflix series The Syndrome. You know, we need to move beyond this terrorism and let's, uh, achieve cheap energy for everyone.”

• “Thank you president. I've listened to colleagues and of course we want to protect children. But who from? From the internet or from people in this room? I have a, um, a document here talking about verification of age. That will be automatic, uh, checking against the law. Quite honestly, if you can't protect your children, it doesn't mean that you are allowed to try to keep watch over ours. You talk about addictive algorithms, but how can you come and talk about that here? You have half of the continent addicted to your propaganda. Do you know how easy it would be to get round all of these legal initiatives here? Um, technology is far ahead of anything this chamber can do with chat, GPT. We can access any database regardless of anything that you do here. And so I think a lot of the European legislators here don't understand that if you want to, um, protect children here, we need to have digital literacy. We can't treat, uh, the internet, um, as if it's a risk. Of course I'll accept.”
