Speeches

Mr President, thank you very much. Let me start by thanking the rapporteur. Her high personal culture meant that we talked about very difficult matters very substantively. I want to point out these elements, where we have stayed in our positions, to what we cannot absolutely agree to. First, in many places the 8th overall plan is too detailed. It does not set directions, but deals with very specific solutions, such as the introduction of taxonomy provisions into this general plan. This is a separate document, let's leave it to function separately. In addition, it interferes with the Treaties, allows or orders the Commission to interfere with the budgets of the Member States, which we cannot agree to. At the same time, it is aggressive in many places. We talked about the fact that when citizens are with us, we will be able to achieve the right goals that your rapporteur spoke about here, but we cannot tell European citizens, Poles and Poles that by 2025 we are to close all energy-intensive plants and enterprises, because that is what we are saying, banning subsidies by 2025. In the end, what we care about: amendment to make everything clear and transparent. Hence the idea to see how much money we spent, how much more we need and whether this money was spent effectively.

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. I think that the Commissioner's optimism is extinguished with every speech we make. We have a year and a half since the outbreak of the pandemic. We are poorly vaccinated, we are at risk of another wave of epidemics. We don't have the cure to cure our citizens. At the same time, I recall the chaos in the introduction of vaccines into individual Member States. The covid passport was supposed to be an added value, and further divides, further is unfair and further excludes, because we have a free vaccine, we do not have a free test, a free visit to the doctor and a test that will confirm that we are recovered. At the same time, how do citizens and guesthouse owners in Italy, Greece, Poland, Hungary verify these applications? How is this monitored? How to prevent a large black market that is already applying for this green certificate?
