13/10/2023 | 12:10:17 Thank you, Madam Chair. It's going to be very complicated to respond to your many interventions in 4 minutes, but first I'd like to warmly thank you for your support for this report and, above all, for your support for its recommendations. I'm going to start by commenting on the report by my Committee colleague, Ms Diana STOICA, saying perhaps two small things. This is a personal opinion, so don't take it into account in your vote in a few minutes, as Ms STOICA isn't here. In any case I'll... 13/10/2023 | 11:13:11 Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you all for staying on a Friday morning at the end of a very busy session. First of all, I'd like to apologise on behalf of Ms Diana STOICA, who is, unfortunately, ill at the moment.

I would like to warmly thank the rapporteur and the person who brought the report today. I believe that the issue of access to reliable information on social networks has become crucial today. Today, of course, more measures are needed so that young people can consume quality content and spot fake information. I would like to remind you, to remind us, that we didn't have to wait for social networks to propagate "fake news", nor for young people to be harassed, or... 27/04/2023 | 19:10:59 Thank you, Mister President. I would first like to acknowledge the excellent work of my colleague Mr Geraint DAVIES and thank him for this important report. I would like to remind you that international trade is not an objective: it is a tool to guarantee prosperity and well-being in our societies, and respect for human rights, democracy, and the environment ought to be the prerequisites for international trade. That is not the case right now. Instead, interest and profit seem more important...
