01/10/2026 | 19:32:01 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Mr President, Dear colleagues, Imagine a woman who has worked in the same company for twenty years. She knows its customers, remembers what went wrong and helps new colleagues find their feet. Then artificial intelligence arrives. She helps introduce it, explains how the work is done and corrects its mistakes. The business becomes more productive and more valuable. When she goes home, however, her concerns are familiar: the bills, her... 01/10/2026 | 18:52:10 Madam President, Dear colleagues, When we discuss Europe's demographic future, we often begin with a number: the birth rate.

Artificial intelligence is becoming a new source of economic, political and geopolitical power. For... 23/06/2026 | 17:11:43 I would like to start by commending the report of Ms Victoria TIBLOM and Mr Yunus EMRE. It is concentrated mainly on the current political and social tensions in Serbia. I fully support the calls on the Serbian authorities to avoid the use of unnecessary or disproportionate force against protesters and members of the student movement. At the same time, we expect that the authorities have to investigate promptly, independently and effectively cases of violence against protesters and cases of...
