then we as a parliament could take our responsibility and quickly vote through these measures because they will need to take effect on one january.
20131022-0900-PLENARY-3-en_20131022-08:32:08_7
therefore we would like to protest against changing the legal basis.
20131022-0900-PLENARY-3-en_20131022-08:32:08_9
we need to take a quick decision. if we want to follow the normal procedure i would urge the council to withdraw its legal basis and to accept the commission's legal basis.
20141112-0900-PLENARY-3-en_20141112-15:40:19_1
it seemed that this was the end of the cold war and the victory of democracy the free and united world.
20170703-0900-PLENARY-18-en_20170703-19:41:40_6
the cost of hiv tb and hcv medicines for treatment and for prevention varies from one country to another.
20170703-0900-PLENARY-18-en_20170703-19:41:40_0
madam president after a long journey and years of hard work i am glad that we are finally having this debate about epidemics in europe and i would like to thank all my colleagues who contributed to the resolution.
20170703-0900-PLENARY-18-en_20170703-19:41:40_4
around four hundred people die too each day in the european region from causes related to viral hepatitis despite the availability of prevention and treatment.
20170703-0900-PLENARY-18-en_20170703-19:41:40_2
the title of the resolution hiv tb and hcv epidemics in europe on the rise' is suggestive because tuberculosis has existed for millennia and remains a major global health problem which feeds on poverty.
20170703-0900-PLENARY-18-en_20170703-19:41:40_10
in addition victims and vulnerable populations must be at the centre of all efforts based on close cooperation and coordination amongst all relevant actors.
20170703-0900-PLENARY-18-en_20170703-19:41:40_11
in order to improve hiv tb and hcv prevention detection and treatment adherence the commission and the member states need to develop specific programmes and financial support to strengthen work with communities and vulnerable people especially in developing countries. without action and funding we cannot fight against these epidemics.
20170703-0900-PLENARY-18-en_20170703-19:41:40_3
in two thousand and fifteen there were almost thirty zero newly diagnosed hiv infections reported within the eu eea region.
20170703-0900-PLENARY-18-en_20170703-19:41:40_9
i want to draw your attention to the fact that fighting against hiv tb and hcv epidemics is the responsibility of all the actors involved the commission the member states the non governmental organisations social organisations and society in general.
20170703-0900-PLENARY-18-en_20170703-19:41:40_7
as such all three infections require long term and sustained programmes often targeting overlapping population groups.
20170703-0900-PLENARY-18-en_20170703-19:41:40_1
i know it means as much to them as it means to me.
20170703-0900-PLENARY-18-en_20170703-20:10:08_1
fighting against and addressing the burden of these diseases require long term programmes and sustained efforts action plans to raise awareness and prevention.
20170703-0900-PLENARY-18-en_20170703-20:10:08_2
the economic burden of these diseases is putting pressure on the member states and the costs significantly increase with the progression of the diseases.
20150624-0900-PLENARY-17-en_20150624-20:12:58_1
the debate today and the release of the five presidents' report on monday have clearly shown that the report is already outdated with regard to events going on outside this house.
20090310-0900-PLENARY-20-en_20090310-22:15:43_4
however one aspect was left out the situation of thousands of european children left behind by parents who go to work in another european country generally called the migration orphans' of which there are almost three hundred and fifty zero in my country.
20090310-0900-PLENARY-20-en_20090310-22:11:44_1
as unicef and other organisations have underlined several times it affects a huge amount of children in the world and in europe.
20090310-0900-PLENARY-20-en_20090310-22:11:44_2
the situation in which social and economic risks are made worse by the absence of parents who cannot meet their children's needs for care protection and education may lead to an increase in vulnerability. the primary responsibility for the development of the child rests with the parents;
20090310-0900-PLENARY-20-en_20090310-22:11:44_3
and parents in fulfilling their responsibilities are entitled to receive the necessary support from the community and the local authorities whose efforts to meet their obligations unfortunately often fail.
20171113-0900-PLENARY-15-en_20171113-20:14:20_8
the eu and the bilateral diplomacy of our countries must ensure that these violations of human rights and atrocities against christians are finished. christians and other churches are often the only actors who take care of the persecuted on the spot but they have
20171113-0900-PLENARY-15-en_20171113-20:14:20_11
these churches must be eligible for eu funding.
20171113-0900-PLENARY-15-en_20171113-20:14:20_15
certain states like my country hungary implement direct aid on the ground for these persecuted communities.
20171116-0900-PLENARY-4-en_20171116-10:04:11_7
unfortunately this is just one aspect of a more complex picture that includes several violations of human rights ranging from the well known situation in darfur to international criminal law concerns.
20171116-0900-PLENARY-4-en_20171116-10:04:11_6
this is why we will support this resolution by which we urge the sudanese government to stop its heinous practices against journalists and editors in order to start to build a democratic environment where both the rule of law and human rights are respected.
20171116-0900-PLENARY-4-en_20171116-10:04:11_2
in addition to this a new concern arises in regard to the proposed press and printing act of two thousand and seventeen which includes further controversial restrictions to online publication and provisions for the lengthier suspension of newspapers and journalists.

my own first language welsh has a long history over centuries of not being allowed to be used in public discourse yet has always managed to survive and indeed is now used with equivalent status to english in the welsh assembly.
20130910-0900-PLENARY-9-en_20130910-13:26:25_3
during committee meetings discussing derivatives market infrastructure or central securities depositories i am the only person in the room who could discuss issues in welsh but i am also comfortable debating in english.
20130910-0900-PLENARY-9-en_20130910-13:26:25_4
any of my constituents who are interested in these issues can read all of this information bilingually on my website something i actually provide for through the running costs of my office which the ep provides.
20130910-0900-PLENARY-9-en_20130910-13:26:25_5
this report suggests similar efficiencies where translation is used for members when it is necessary for them to perform their duties but not to make political points about the use of language.
20130910-0900-PLENARY-9-en_20130910-13:26:25_6
i genuinely believe that eu money should be reserved for translation costs when they are required by specific members to do their legislative work not as a matter of course and that there are much better ways of supporting multilingualism within the eu such as the endangered language report we are voting on tomorrow.
20180312-0900-PLENARY-14-en_20180312-20:14:51_9
they attack all of us.
20180312-0900-PLENARY-14-en_20180312-20:14:51_7
i must say that i am appalled by the homophobia that i have heard.
20180312-0900-PLENARY-14-en_20180312-20:14:51_10
but it will not work because we will stand up to you.
20180312-0900-PLENARY-14-en_20180312-20:14:51_4
it is unacceptable and as has been said a sign of general regression for women's rights.
20171212-0900-PLENARY-7-en_20171212-11:11:40_4
there is also a straightforward message reductionary fiscal policy kills the demand for lendable funds and the efsi is a supply side instrument.
20171212-0900-PLENARY-7-en_20171212-11:11:40_2
properly addressed this time.
20170426-0900-PLENARY-14-en_20170426-20:05:01_5
it should not replace existing technical assistance programmes that we have under operational programmes and in the end we should use countryspecific recommendations to encourage member states but not to punish them.
20170427-0900-PLENARY-6-en_20170427-08:33:39_7
third i am encouraged by the fact that the eib devoted thirty seven of the new lending granted in two thousand and fifteen to the financing of small and medium sized enterprises which altogether constitute the major collective employer in the european union.
20170427-0900-PLENARY-6-en_20170427-08:33:39_15
eib. i believe that the economic financial and investment environment in the eu is much better today than it was in two thousand and fifteen and that part of the credit for that considerable improvement belongs to the eib and its policies.
20170427-0900-PLENARY-6-en_20170427-09:53:55_10
that means that the eib is in a better position to collaborate with the commission the member states and the private sector to boost its investment activity.
20110914-0900-PLENARY-11-en_20110914-17:59:11_4
the same demand comes from the eu and the most important international actors.
20140114-0900-PLENARY-12-en_20140114-19:06:12_1
i am sure there are some people who think there are important issues of principle here but when principles are tested in this way they start to look ridiculous.
20140114-0900-PLENARY-12-en_20140114-19:06:12_2
if pollen is an ingredient in honey then surely it must be added artificially.
20140114-0900-PLENARY-12-en_20140114-19:06:12_3
someone must be adding it and the finger of blame must be pointed at the bees.
20140114-0900-PLENARY-12-en_20140114-19:06:12_4
the greens would have us believe that these are bad bees criminal bees deliberately contaminating honey with a dangerous ingredient but in fact they are doing what honey bees have always done which is to carry pollen back to their hives to feed their young.
20140114-0900-PLENARY-12-en_20140114-19:06:12_6
naturally it gets into the honey so they are good bees doing good work and the greens should lay off them.
20180613-0900-PLENARY-19-en_20180613-18:17:17_3
but choose to leave the country for better jobs.
20151007-0900-PLENARY-7-en_20151007-12:40:49_2
it makes no sense for this house to approve a calendar if we are not entitled to amend it.
20120612-0900-PLENARY-11-en_20120612-17:59:38_1
most of the time in a civil war it is evil versus evil just as it is in this case.
20120612-0900-PLENARY-11-en_20120612-17:59:38_2
on the one hand we see a dictator and his friends who are clinging onto power.
20120612-0900-PLENARY-11-en_20120612-17:59:38_3
on the other hand we see islamic fundamentalists who have no desire to establish a proper democracy but only to further spread political islam throughout the region.
20120612-0900-PLENARY-11-en_20120612-17:59:38_4
i would like to hear from mrs ashton what kind of contact there is with syrian opposition groups.
20120612-0900-PLENARY-11-en_20120612-17:59:38_5
is there contact with the syrian national council and if so could she elaborate on this?
20120612-0900-PLENARY-11-en_20120612-17:59:38_6
what does the high representative think of the resignation of professor ghalioun as chairman of the snc?
20120612-0900-PLENARY-11-en_20120612-17:59:38_7
does she share my fear that the snc is being hijacked by the muslim brotherhood and can she state that she will not cooperate with the muslim brotherhood in any way?
20120612-0900-PLENARY-11-en_20120612-17:59:38_9
now is the time to tell the syrians that if they want our help they need to break ties with iran hezbollah and hamas.
20140115-0900-PLENARY-15-en_20140115-18:48:29_4
if you take away all the political rhetoric you will realise that her main items of objection are legal.
20140115-0900-PLENARY-15-en_20140115-18:48:29_5
she accepted the fact that citizenship is subject to national jurisdiction but she also said that according to the maastricht treaty and she is right there has to be a direct link.
20140115-0900-PLENARY-15-en_20140115-18:48:29_6
in other words the objection is not whether money is paid or not. the objection is whether there is a direct link or not.
20180418-0900-PLENARY-21-en_20180418-21:22:13_2
and national competition authorities but the report also says very clearly that this independence is strongly linked to the availability of human and financial resources. however
20180418-0900-PLENARY-21-en_20180418-21:22:13_3
i and many of my colleagues have concerns regarding the fast development of the digital economy and the dominance of the global technology companies.
20180418-0900-PLENARY-21-en_20180418-21:22:13_6
we think the commission and the national competition authorities should focus human and financial resources to get the knowledge and skill to implement the competition rules in the digital economy.
20120328-0900-PLENARY-12-en_20120328-17:17:26_3
turkey has enormous potential for economic growth and it has a strategic role as a corridor for the european union's energy supply. complemented by the value of potential synergies between the eu and turkey the foreign policy and security policy can do a lot for us both.
20120328-0900-PLENARY-12-en_20120328-17:17:26_6
for turkey this means concrete results in the reform process and also an improvement in bilateral relations with its neighbours.
20120328-0900-PLENARY-12-en_20120328-17:17:26_8
it was initiated by him and we support it.
20120328-0900-PLENARY-12-en_20120328-17:17:26_18
i call on the government to do something to come up with positive steps.
20171025-0900-PLENARY-20-en_20171025-18:10:03_1
post financial crisis the use of securitisation has severely diminished across europe however.
20171025-0900-PLENARY-20-en_20171025-18:10:03_2
i therefore commend the effort shown by this parliament to encourage understanding and rebuild trust and confidence in these instruments. i am pleased that we have managed to bring this report closer to international standards and ensure that the eu is not placed at a competitive disadvantage globally.
20171025-0900-PLENARY-20-en_20171025-18:10:03_3
however i personally believe that we could have been even more ambitious in this proposal and indeed with the capital markets union project as a whole as this is an area in which our level of achievement does not so far seem to match up to our rhetoric.
20171025-0900-PLENARY-20-en_20171025-18:10:03_4
for cmu to work it needs decisive action not purely discussion and then compromise.
20171025-0900-PLENARY-20-en_20171025-18:10:03_6
furthermore a cultural shift here in europe from savings to investment is critical.
20171025-0900-PLENARY-20-en_20171025-18:10:03_7
the aims of cmu need to guide our hand in all ongoing legislation.
20171025-0900-PLENARY-20-en_20171025-18:10:03_8
we need consistency across all legislative files.
20171025-0900-PLENARY-20-en_20171025-18:10:03_9
the emir review for example needs to be very specifically about finding solutions to the unintended consequences and burdens that we have placed upon non financial companies.
20171025-0900-PLENARY-20-en_20171025-18:10:03_10
therefore the classification of securitisation special purpose entities as financial counterparties for example as recently released in the commission draft report seems to contradict and threaten what we have achieved in the securitisation legislation.
20170405-0900-PLENARY-13-en_20170405-15:58:20_3
free speech is essentially accepting that people are free to say things we do like not merely free to say things we do like.
20170405-0900-PLENARY-13-en_20170405-15:58:20_4
should these be offensive then they can be tackled by a forthright debate.
20170405-0900-PLENARY-13-en_20170405-15:58:20_5
indeed debating ideas in a public forum makes it harder for those ideas to be formed as an individual insult and a public debate provides the target of offence with a rebuttal.
20170405-0900-PLENARY-13-en_20170405-15:58:20_6
there is a quotation that is commonly attributed to voltaire i disapprove of what you say but i will defend to the death your right to say it'.
20180417-0900-PLENARY-12-en_20180417-15:52:02_2
this is of the utmost importance and should be the driver of any action taken.
20180417-0900-PLENARY-12-en_20180417-15:52:02_4
for instance remittance has proved to be a tool that boosts development up to three times the total of the official development aid by contributing to the economy of the country of origin.
20180417-0900-PLENARY-12-en_20180417-15:52:02_1
i believe that building legal avenues and stepping up pledging efforts to resettle those in need is a key aspect in order to tackle the problem. i welcome the compact on migration and i appreciate its focus on people and the safeguard of their fundamental basic rights.
20180301-0900-PLENARY-3-en_20180301-08:47:32_6
concerns that our group has traditionally had with shadow banking for instance.
20180301-0900-PLENARY-3-en_20180301-08:47:32_5
good wording on edis which we believe are very important;
20180301-0900-PLENARY-3-en_20180301-08:47:32_3
two thousand and seventeen was the year when we saw obstacles to resolvability of the venetian banks and the first resolution under the eu framework the popular case which shows that further transparency is clearly needed.
20110120-0900-PLENARY-3-en_20110120-09:53:21_6
like many of my colleagues here this morning i urge the commission to provide an analysis of these distortions.
20110120-0900-PLENARY-3-en_20110120-09:53:21_4
this will also save time and stress for all europeans who need to carry out payments in other countries.
20110120-0900-PLENARY-3-en_20110120-09:53:21_7
let me add one more thought on the need for common standards and processes. a lot of inventions in the future will be based on information and communication technologies.
20131023-0900-PLENARY-14-en_20131023-19:30:09_1
but in this case i consider that we have managed to reach a good position.
20131023-0900-PLENARY-14-en_20131023-19:30:09_3
in my opinion the proposed limits are acceptable given the risk and the long term effects ionising radiation has on health.
20131023-0900-PLENARY-14-en_20131023-19:30:09_5
we managed to retain the chapter on environmental protection and the change in the legal basis from the euratom treaty to the treaty on the functioning of the european union.
20131023-0900-PLENARY-14-en_20131023-19:30:09_6
i consider that in spite of the opposition to changing the legal basis we have to take into consideration the importance of parliament having a say when it comes to the protection of workers and the general public from ionising radiation and therefore the protection of human health.
20131023-0900-PLENARY-14-en_20131023-19:30:09_7
i really hope that through your vote tomorrow you will give us your support so as not to lose any of these achievements.
20090202-0900-PLENARY-9-en_20090202-17:20:18_2
it is in this same spirit that article two of the european convention of human rights declares the taking of life a flagrant violation.
20180614-0900-PLENARY-4-en_20180614-10:28:47_3
so with today's resolution we aim to fulfil our moral and political duty as european democrats by trying to save mr sentsov's life and help regain his freedom as well as that of all the other names in the resolution held in russian captivity deprived of freedom and human dignity and even of legal and medical assistance.
20180315-0900-PLENARY-16-en_20180315-15:20:37_2
we are convinced that it's very useful for the quality of the funding programmes. it is based on a new focus on results and milestones that have to be achieved.
20180315-0900-PLENARY-16-en_20180315-15:20:37_8
the commission must not discourage them.
20180315-0900-PLENARY-16-en_20180315-15:20:37_9
more in general commissioner we observe that the commission continues to propose new budgetary instruments.
