22/06/2021 | 19:26:09 Thank you, Mister President. The second attempt has worked. Thank you so much. Thank you also to my colleagues for your perceptive and sympathetic comments in this very excellent debate. I assure those people who did not manage to be heard that I will actually ask to read all those speeches that were not presented. We all agreed on the negative impact of Covid-19. We are, as many of us said, talking about the future. Therefore really must, as many have said, listen to the children. We've... 22/06/2021 | 18:21:54 Dear President and colleagues, I hope that you are well wherever you are. It is a great pleasure to follow my colleague Mr Andrej HUNKO, who has spoken with great passion and insight about his report.

They are the main cause of premature death and affect human rights and fundamental freedoms. There are... 27/01/2021 | 11:05:46 It's a very great pleasure to speak in this debate which is so incredibly timely. I thank Ms Jennifer DE TEMMERMAN for researching and producing it. Of course, things move on almost daily with regard to this pandemic. For example, scientific opinion, production and allocation of the vaccine and so on. The virus has mutated of course which includes further dilemmas, but this does not alter the fact that there must be ethical, legal and practical considerations and there must be respect for... 30/01/2020 | 17:18:56 Thank you, Mr President. These are two very important reports, we must not ever take our eyes off this vital issue of protecting child migrants, especially unaccompanied migrants. I mean, we must be vigilant about the ramifications attendant on human trafficking and smuggling. As my colleague, Ms Kerry MCCARTHY, has said earlier, my colleague Mr Vernon COAKER was responsible the first report and has put so much effort into it. He's not here due to one of those vagaries of an election. I know...
