27/04/2023 | 19:37:52 Well, thank you, Chair. Thank you for all those fantastic speeches of support for this recommendation: Mr Samad SEYIDOV about transparency. Mr Paul GAVAN about the Energy Charter Treaty and possibly scrapping that together. Mr Christophe LACROIX talking about how human rights in mining elsewhere have been abused, which is important in this report. Mr Franz Leonhard ESSL in terms of the eco-social market economy, which he has mentioned before in this debate when we were in Marrakesh. Ms... 27/04/2023 | 18:34:44 Thank you, Mister President, The future of our planet and democracies will depend upon whether trade deals green or blacken our global economy and whether they safeguard our human rights and our democracy or undermine them.

Green growth must mean environmentally sustainable growth. And, of course, we do know from the OECD, that less inequality means higher growth. The issue is really how to capture the digital age to provide more... 13/10/2022 | 16:59:53 Yes, I am here and, obviously, this is a very sensitive issue in the United Kingdom and, like many others in the United Kingdom, and the majority of people now in the United Kingdom who think that Brexit is a bit of a disaster economically, politically, and in terms of foreign affairs. But that is where we are, and we are trying to move forward. The situation in Northern Ireland on the vote on Brexit was that the vote was in favour of staying in the EU by 4 to 3 – 56% to 44%. And in the UK...
