"We now have a great opportunity to make a real impact for the freedom of women in Europe by criminalising violence against women," @arbakokalari at the #EPlenary.

No religion or culture can justify men's violence against women and girls.
These human rights violations still happen across Europe and kill over 600 women yearly.
Unacceptable!
Eradicating gender-based violence from its roots must be the EU's goal.

"From the very beginning of the Farm to Fork Strategy, the @EPPGroup has asked for a thorough impact assessment of the #pesticides proposal," says @Franc_Bogovic MEP.
In the context of war, this is even more important to understand where this new law would lead.

Today marks International Day of People with Disabilities, but working on inclusion must be a daily task.

🕶️To ensure that those with a disability have the same labour market opportunities as everyone else

"This is such an upsetting and disturbing debate when the President of this Parliament has to come in and say:
‼️ STOP KILLING WOMEN.
And yet this is the reality; why do we allow it to continue?"

As we witness the unprovoked brutality of the Kremlin’s war against Ukraine, we increasingly realise that Russia’s aggression will only end if Ukraine wins this war.
In this EPP Group podcast, we talk with @rjukneviciene & @YFelshtinsky: https://epp.group/s4e12

Amid jitters over China’s designs on Taiwan, trade tensions and human rights concerns, the EU should make clear the risks Beijing faces by adopting more-aggressive policies say @EPPGroup MEPs.

🤚Put an end to rape!
🤚Stop sexual violence!
Blatant contempt for women´s human rights is happening in Russia's war in Ukraine.
We stand firm against all breaches of human rights in conflict zones.
Perpetrators must be held accountable in court.

🚨With a war hitting Europe, we cannot introduce new laws that would put our food production at risk.
‼️We have millions of people to feed.
The priority must be 👉 ensuring our food security.

MEP @angelikawinzig at the #EPlenary:
➡️ It is really sad that in the 21st century we still have to discuss the issue of violence against women.
➡️This is certainly a criminal offence.
➡️The task now is to close the legal loopholes in legal protection.

.@YFelshtinsky, historian about #Russia:
For the first time in history, state security controls a state in Europe. This had never happened before.
We are dealing with completely irrational people and an irrational structure.

RT @TomislavSokol: We achieved a provisional political agreement on #CCD that will increase the level of consumer protection and prevent their over-indebtedness. However, @EPPGroup has often been alone in its efforts to keep payment methods from being more expensive and bureaucratic for consumers!

The new regulation on pesticide reduction needs a deeper impact assessment considering the context of war.
“The impact assessment did not properly take into account what effects the regulation could have on food security," says @HerbertDorfmann MEP.

Destruction of critical infrastructure.
Deliberate bombing of housing, residential areas, electricity and water supplies.
"This is something that has a terrorist nature. It's a state that uses terrorist means", says @gahler_michael.
