Spoke in @Europarl_EN debate on increased energy prices.
Demanded: 1. Understand if there is any market manipulation and sanction those responsible. 2. React to doubling of ETS prices since beginning of year.
1/3
3. Propose EU Coordination Toolbox for measures at national level. Make sure that measures in one country do not affect other country. 4. Reduce energy dependence. 5. Increase Social Climate Fund to help those affected by transition to Green Deal.
2/3
6. @EU_Commission shall adjust the upcoming EU own resources proposal to allocate some of the new income of the EU to help vulnerable consumers and enterprises affected by high energy prices.
There are already solutions to help alleviate and avoid another #energycrisis. Such solutions are: common gas storage facilities or joint procurement schemes for gas. If feasible, these should be quickly deployed. I am convinced that @EPPGroup & @Europarl_EN will support them.

As #RRF is the biggest package of economic recovery ever created by #EU, we must ensure that the money reaches the intended beneficiaries, people in need, enterprises, regions and that ALL rules are respected. #EPplenary#RuleOfLaw
During #RRF negotiations, one of @Europarl_EN's main concerns was the respect of #RuleOfLaw because these are taxpayers' money & can be disbursed only if rules, rule of law & #EU values are respected. Hence, we must know more about the national plans of 🇭🇺 🇵🇱 🇸🇪 not yet adopted.
We see that #Polish government is threatening @EU_Commission to start blocking files which should be agreed in a consent procedure. This, while they further attack #RuleOfLaw & the independence of the judiciary. It's an attack on our democratic institutions & our way of work.
Finished negotiations on the €672,5 bn European Recovery and Resilience Facility in the @Europarl_EN.
We propose to prolong the program from 3 to 4 years, to increase prefinancing from 10% to 20% to help more and faster. 1/8
The EU Recovery Facility shall have a strong link with the European Semester and shall implement country specific recommendations. #EU Member States 🇪🇺 need reforms to overcome this crisis and avoid being hit hard by any next crises. 3/8
