Digitalisation of cross-border judicial cooperation (A9-0062/2023 - Emil Radev, Marina Kaljurand)
Dva prijedloga o kojima se glasuje dio su takozvanog „Digitalizacijskog paketa“, čiji je glavni cilj micanje prepreka u međunarodnoj suradnji u domeni pravosuđa te intenziviranje elektroničkog komuniciranja i postupanja u međudržavnim suradnjama pravosuđa pojedinih država članica. Glasao sam za navedene prijedloge jer smatram da paket ima potencijala znatno povećati dostupnost pravde građanima država članica, te bi isto tako znatno skratio neke postupke i procese unutar pravosuđa. Ako možemo olakšati našim građanima izloženost birokraciji, primjerice kroz podupiranje digitalizacijskih reforma, nužno je glasovati za zakonska rješenja koja idu u tom smjeru. Također, treba pozdraviti sadržaj paketa koji poziva na poticanje razvijanja elektroničke komunikacije među sudovima i drugim akterima pravne suradnje između država članica.

Strategic Compass and EU space-based defence capabilities (A9-0334/2023 - Arnaud Danjean)
Glasao sam protiv ovog izvješća iz čitavog niza razloga. Najprije, EU nije “svemirska sila”, već neke njezine članice imaju mogućnost ozbiljnijeg angažmana u svemiru. No, čak i te članice su uvelike ovisne o tehničko-logističkoj podršci stvarnih svemirskih sila poput SAD-a i Rusije. Nadalje, ovdje govorimo o obrambenim kapacitetima, gdje je situacija posve jasna - većina država članica EU-a su ujedno članice i NATO saveza. Nikakva posebna ili separatna europska obrambena politika izvan okvira NATO-a nije potrebna niti smatram smislenim o takvoj uopće diskutirati. O nonsensima koji se odnose na potrebu provedbe “zelene tranzicije” unutar europskog svemirskog programa ili potrebi snažnijeg uključivanja “ranjivih manjina” (LGBT, osobe migrantskog porijekla) u ove programe, ovoga puta ne bih previše komentirao jer nisu ni vrijedni smislenog odgovora. Za kraj, dojma sam kako ovakve inicijative tek služe kao pokriće onim političkim opcijama koji teže većoj samostalnosti EU-a od NATO-a, ali i koji aktivno traže izlike za trošenje novih desetaka milijardi eura javnog novca, uplaćenih od doprinosa europskih poreznih obveznika.
Deliberations of the Committee on Petitions in 2022 (A9-0333/2023 - Alex Agius Saliba)
Mnogobrojne pritužbe na manjak brzine rada PETI odbora te napose postupanja Komisije naspram odluka PETI odbora bile su glavni motiv ovog izvješća. Tijekom 2022., PETI odbor je i dalje uglavnom imao najviše posla glede uz predmeta građana vezanih uz razdoblje COVID restrikcija. I moja je politička skupina također uputila primjedbe vezane uz postupanje u slučajevima narušavanja dječijih prava. No, vladajuća većina je svoje opservacije uputila na teme s kojima se nikako ne mogu složiti, a to je afirmiranje tzv. “zelenog tužiteljstva” (EU zakonodavstvo u vezi zaštite okoliša), zatim, priznanje tzv. “obitelji duginih boja” (LGBT obitelji) na EU razini te pojačano restriktivno postupanje Komisije naspram država članica u kojima je navodno evidentirana povreda “vladavine prava”.Ovo su mi bili dovoljni razlozi za glas protiv izvješća.
Implementation of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (A9-0331/2023 - Seán Kelly, Andreas Schieder)
Podržao sam usvajanje izvješća o suradnji i trgovinskim odnosima EU-a i Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva. Evidentirani su brojni pomaci na čitavom nizu polja, uključujući i ribarstvo, gdje i osobno mogu posvjedočiti, kao koordinator ECR Grupe u Odboru za ribarstvo, kako smo uspjeli premostiti određenu problematiku na međusobno zadovoljstvo. S ciljem nastavka prijateljskih i partnerskih odnosa sa Ujedinjenim Kraljevstvom, vjerujem kako ćemo i u budućnosti uspjeti realizirati preostale neriješene točke i na taj način unaprijediti međusobnu suradnju.
Innovative humanitarian aid strategy: spotlight on current and forgotten crises (A9-0321/2023 - Carlos Zorrinho)
Humanitarna pomoć u svojem korijenu riječi ima čovjeka, a ovim se izvješćem osvrće na pomoć planeti radi klimatskih promjena te se promiče "pravo na probačaj" u humanitarnim krizama sadašnjim i budućim. Europska unija treba brinuti za svoje građane kao i lokacije koje su potrebite financijske i druge pomoći u stvarnim krizama. Radi brkanja osnovnih pojmova te uvlačenja ideologije ljevice u ovo izvješće, nisam ga podržao.
Job creation – the just transition and impact investments (A9-0342/2023 - Sara Matthieu)
Glasao sam protiv ovog izvješća jer sadrži niz stavki s kojima se ne mogu složiti: zalaganje za zajedničku EU definiciju “kvalitetnih zelenih poslova” i nove povezane pokazatelje; poziv da se razmotri revizija Direktive o javnoj nabavi s pojačanom socijalnom klauzulom; prijedlog okvira EU-a o maksimalnim radnim temperaturama; rodno (?) osviještena politika; poziva na reviziju Uredbe o upravljanju energetskom unijom; poziv na direktivu o minimalnom dohotku; detaljan kompromis o potrebi "rebalansiranja" poreznog sustava u državama članicama EU-a. Također, već sam više puta naglasio da ne smijemo ubrzavati zelenu tranziciju, a ovaj tekst istu predstavlja isključivo u pozitivnom svjetlu bez kritičnog promišljanja o potencijalnim izazovima koje ona nosi, a našim građanima neće poboljšati životne uvjete.
Harnessing talent in Europe’s regions (A9-0325/2023 - Cristina Maestre Martín De Almagro)
Odlučio sam glasati protiv ovog izvješća jer ne mogu podržati to da neprestano kroz pitanja od iznimne važnosti, kao što je u ovom slučaju socioekonomski status naših građana i poboljšanje istoga, guramo jednu ideologiju - pozivanje na Pakt o migraciji i azilu i uvjetovanosti u odnosu na migrante i rodno uključivanje, poziv na uspostavu europske zajamčene minimalne plaće koja bi mogla ograničiti odljev talenata i poziv Vijeću da poduzme mjere kako bi se izbjegla zlouporaba prava veta.
The lack of legislative follow-up by the Commission to the PEGA resolution (B9-0464/2023, B9-0467/2023)
Glasao sam protiv ovog prijedloga rezolucije. Naime, rezolucija ne predstavlja ništa drugo no recikliranje izvješća i sličnih rezolucija kakve smo imali u prethodnih 12 mjeseci. Pored napada na Mađarsku, ovom rezolucijom se pokušava i legislativno prodrijeti u rad sigurnosno-obavještajnih agencija država članica, što je za mene, ali i moju političku grupu crvena linija. Ostaje za nadati se kako predložene mjere u ovoj rezoluciji neće proći u Vijeću, kao što je i dosada bila praksa.
Revised pollinators initiative - a new deal for pollinators (B9-0463/2023)
Pitanje prirodnih oprašivača, kao što su pčele, odavno je gorući problem ne samo na europskoj, već i na globalnoj razini.Naime, krajnje štetni i po prirodne oprašivače pogubni industrijski pesticidi uzimaju sve veći danak i time stvaraju katastrofalnu štetu ukupnom eko-sustavu. I dok je dio teksta predložene rezolucije fokusiran na ove probleme kao i realna rješenja istih, nisam mogao podržati rezoluciju poradi nekoliko krajnje diskutabilnih i opasnih intencija. Najprije, kroz cijelu Rezoluciju se provlači teza potrebe što hitnije implementacije legislativa EU-a koje se odnose na zaštitu prirodnih staništa, uključujući i spornu “Direktivu o obnovi prirode”, koja je duboko podijelila države članice unutar Vijeća. Zatim, poziva se države članice da dodatno prošire zaštićena područja za potrebe očuvanja prirodnih oprašivača. Republika Hrvatska je među rekorderima EU-a glede prostora predodređenog za status zaštićenih područja, a nove legislative udaraju na postojeća poljoprivredna te ribolovna područja. Kako onda podržati ideju daljnjeg proširenja ovakvih područja ako ih moramo otimati poljoprivrednicima i ribarima? Moramo li uvijek stavljati ekologiju ispred čovjeka, odnosno, osnovnog ljudskog prava na hranu? Prema tome, uvijek ću podržati inicijative zaštite i poboljšanja stanja prirodnih oprašivača, ali ne i manipulacije dogmatičara “zelene agende”. Stoga sam glasao suzdržano.

(4a) The topicality of thematic scope of the PRIMA, namely agri-food systems and integrated water provisions and water management in the Mediterranean area, is only increasing. Water deficits are linked to 10% of the rise in global migration. Climate change and associated natural disasters have a devastating impact on agricultural production. This requires increased actions in preventive and adaptation measures, such as the development of cost-efficient desalinisation technologies, phytosanitary protection of plant species, as well as breeding of species and varieties, such as olive trees, resistant to changed conditions, as this would be the most efficient adaptation strategy to cope with climate change.

(12) The energy performance of buildings should be calculated on the basis of a methodology, which may be differentiated at national and regional level. That includes, in addition to thermal characteristics, other factors that play an increasingly important role such as heating and air-conditioning installations, application of energy from renewable sources, building automation and control systems, smart solutions, passive heating and cooling elements, heat recovery from wastewater, ventilation and cooling, shading, indoor air- quality, adequate natural light and design of the building. The methodology for calculating energy performance should be based not only on the season in which heating or air- conditioning is required, but should cover the annual energy performance of a building. That methodology should take into account existing European standards. The methodology should ensure the representation of actual operating conditions and enable the use of metered energy to verify correctness and for comparability, and the methodology should be based on hourly or sub-hourly time- steps. In order to encourage the use of renewable energy on-site, and in addition to the common general framework, Member States should take the necessary measures so that the benefits of maximising the use of renewable energy on-site, including for other-uses (such as electric vehicle charging points), are recognised and accounted for in the calculation methodology.

In order to decarbonise the building sector, it is of particular importance to phase out fossil fuel in heating and cooling. Therefore, Member States should indicate their national policies and measures to phase out fossil fuels in heating and cooling in their building renovation plans, and no financial incentives should be given for the installation of fossil fuel boilers, with the exception of boilers using renewable fuels or its blends, under the next Multiannual Financial Framework as of 2027, with the exception of those selected for investment, before 2027, under the European Regional Development Fund and on the Cohesion Fund. A clear legal basis for the ban of heat generators based on their greenhouse gas emissions or the type of fuel used should support national phase-out policies and measures.

(5) The rapid growth and increasing cost-competitiveness of renewable electricity production can be used to satisfy a growing share of energy demand, for instance using heat pumps for space heating or low-temperature industrial processes, electric vehicles for transport, or electric furnaces in certain industries. Renewable electricity can also be used to produce synthetic fuels for consumption in hard-to-decarbonise transport sectors such as aviation and maritime transport, industry or building. A framework for electrification needs to enable robust and efficient coordination and expand market mechanisms to match both supply and demand in space and time, stimulate efficient investments in flexibility, and help integrate large shares of variable renewable generation. Member States should therefore ensure that the deployment of renewable electricity continues to increase at an adequate pace to meet growing demand optimizing the use of energy infrastructure. For this, Member States should establish a framework that includes market-compatible mechanisms to tackle remaining barriers to have secure and adequate electricity systems fit for a high level of renewable energy, as well as storage facilities, fully integrated into the electricitnergy system. In particular, this framework shall tackle remaining barriers, including non-financial ones such as insufficient digital and human resources of authorities to process a growing number of permitting applications.

(38) The Union database to be set up by the Commission aims at enabling the tracing of liquid and gaseous renewable fuels and recycled carbon fuels. Its scope should be extended from transport to all other end-use sectors in which such fuels are consumed. For gaseous renewable fuels, the Union database should trace them up to their injection into the gas system where a book and claim certificate system should be applicable until the final point of consumption. This should make a vital contribution to the comprehensive monitoring of the production and consumption of those fuels, mitigating risks of double-counting or irregularities along the supply chains covered by the Union database. In addition, to avoid any risk of double claims on the same renewable gas, a guarantee of origin issued for any consignment of renewable gas registered in the database should be cancelled. When renewable gases are injected into the grid, the guarantees of origin issued should transferred together with the certificates referred.

(13) A Social Climate (‘the Fund’) should therefore be established to provide funds to the Member States to support their policies to address the social impacts of the emissions trading for buildings and road transportcosts generated by the EU climate change policies on vulnerable households, vulnerable micro-enterprises and vulnerable transport users. This should be achieved notably through temporary income support and measures and investments intended to reduce reliance on fossil fuels through increased energy efficiency of buildings, decarbonisation of heating and cooling of buildings, including the integration of energy from renewable sources, and granting improved access to zero- and low-emission mobility and transport to the benefit of vulnerable households, vulnerable micro-enterprises and vulnerable transport users.

(16) Ensuring that the measures and investments are particularly targeted towards energy poor or vulnerable households, vulnerable micro-enterprises and vulnerable transport users is key for a just transition towards climate neutrality. Support measures to promote reductions in greenhouse gas emissions should help Member States to address the social impacts arising from the emissions trading for the sectors of buildings and road transportcosts generated by the EU climate policy.

(17) Pending the impact of those investments on reducing costs and emissions, well targeted direct income support for the most vulnerable would help the just transition. Such support should be understood to be a temporary measure accompanying the decarbonisation of the housing and transport sectors. It would not be permanent as it does not address the root causes of energy and transport poverty. Such support should only concern direct impacts of the inclusion of building and road transport into the scope of Directive 2003/87/EC, not electricity or heating costs related to the inclusion of power and heat production in the scope of that Directive. Eligibility for such direct income support should be limited in time.

(23) The financial envelope of the Fund should, in principle, be commensurate to amounts corresponding to 25% of the expected revenues from the inclusion of buildings and road transport into the scope of Directive 2003/87/EC in the period 2026-2032. Pursuant to Council Decision (EU, Euratom) 2020/205341 , Member States should make those revenues available to the Union budget as own resources. Member States are to finance 50% of the total costs of their Plan themselves. For this purpose, as well as for investment and measures to accelerate and alleviate the required transition for citizens negatively affected, Member States should inter alia use their expected revenues from emissions trading for buildings and road transport under Directive 2003/87/EC for that purpose. _________________ 41Council Decision (EU, Euratom) 2020/2053 of 14 December 2020 on the system of own resources of the European Union and repealing Decision 2014/335/EU, Euratom (OJ L 424, 15.12.2020, p. 1 be established from x% of the total quantity of allowances, and auctioned in accordance with the rules and modalities for auctions taking place on the Common Auction Platform set out in Commission Regulation (EU) No 1031/2010 (8).
