🗞 We need to safeguard #PressFreedom, pluralism, independence and safety of journalists. Declining media freedom in #Poland proves the need for such regulation at the European level. @Dulkiewicz_A @EU_CoR @gdansk #CoRplenary

My opinion on behalf of the @EU_CoR contains a whole series of proposals for improvement. In particular, Europe should not replace the responsibility of Member States for the protection of freedom and plurality of the media, but rather support it. @markspeich @NRWinEU #CoRplenary

It is necessary to remove the main reason for the slow rate of removal of #asbestos, which is subsidising only the dismantling and disposal of asbestos products (especially eternit roofs). New subsidy and incentive mechanisms (tax reliefs) should be introduced. @HannaZdanowska

Democratic societies are based on #MediaFreedom and pluralism. The @EU_Commission's proposal certainly pursues the right goal, but there is room for improvement in many areas. @markspeich @NRWinEU #CoRplenary

Łódzkie Voivodeship — needs 102 years to completely remove asbestos. The current rate of #asbestos removal in the #EU is extremely unsatisfactory. This demonstrates the need for decisive action as well as a European strategy for asbestos removal. @HannaZdanowska @EU_CoR

After the two crises we have experienced, we now have a unique opportunity to move the rural agenda forward. We need concrete targets targets and to form quality standards for rural life. We need more sophisticated, holistic approaches. Europe starts in the rural areas.

Engaging all EU policies & all possible resources (including cohesion funds and Next Generation EU funds) is vital to fulfill the ambitions of a Long Term Vision for Rural Areas. We need action to implement the vision for rural areas and deliver on the ground! @RadimSrsen @EU_CoR

From the point of view of housing policy, there are no objections to tenants and owners sharing their living space with temporary guests, as long as sharing does not take away urgently needed living space or make it more expensive in markets that are already tight. @uconradt

Until recently we were neighbors, now we are brothers - the head of Rivne Region in #Ukraine told me during a meeting. The consequences of the war require real support: basic products, building materials, medical vehicles and rehabilitation centers for wounded soldiers.

We demand that we do not lower our guard in condemning the invasion and massacre of the Ukrainian people. It is essential to ensure a cross-cutting action of support and we pledge to continue ensuring healthcare and other services to the displaced population. @EnricMillo @EU_CoR

The decision to grant candidate status to #Ukraine & #Moldova is a good step. Yet 20% of 🇺🇦 continues to be occupied & 🇲🇩 is under threat by instability caused by Transnistria. We must strengthen LRAs, which are weak in these countries & not able to fully implement 🇪🇺policy.

The recommended instruments must be used to promote, initiate and expand cities, towns and regional partnerships between the EU and the Eastern Partnership. Let us bring our initiatives closer to the people! Let us also build peace from below! @uconradt #EaP @EU_CoR #CoRplenary

Eastern partnership policies are one of the most important in Europe. Countries need to see the value of what they want to achieve. We hope this partnership will help them address domestic problems. @andriuskubilius @EU_CoR @EPPGroup #CoRplenary #EaP

The Eastern Partnership remains a relevant framework. The EaP is here to stay. Of course, the #EaP has to change and respond to the new realities. We favour more flexibility and differentiation to match the different priorities of each partner. #AdrianNica @EU_CoR #CoRplenary

The most powerful European political response to the Russian invasion in #Ukraine will be the support for free democratic states and for culturally and economically vibrant cities and societies committed to European values. #EAP
