1. Tusk said Juncker package …
Donald Tusk chaired by the European Council from 1 December 2014. For some of its tasks are to make the European Parliament the reports of the meetings of the Council. The first of these meetings, chaired by Tusk, it was not long – lasted only one day, and the conclusions of the fit on three sides. It seems that the recapitulation, so there should not be anything difficult.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Tusk also waited a reference to the issue of the so-called. Juncker package. As for the “multiplication” of public money (mainly from the EU budget) in investments worth 315 billion euros, which will make the EU new jobs and stimulate economic growth.
It is crucial, however, eg. The question, how much money will be had to spend on this program, each of the European capitals. That has not been established at the top – in the meantime, that investment began in the first half of this year, the Council and Parliament must get along to June.
– Now the ball is on your side, so that legal solutions were prepared in June – Tusk asked the question to the parliament, where the hall there were not many. – I know that this plan is not a miracle cure. But if anyone knows a way to fight the crisis in a moment, let’s stand up and submit it – called.
2. … Ukraine and passenger information system
Another important issue raised by Tusk was the question of the Ukrainian crisis. – Any new decisions will be taken in March. Ukrainians need to know that Europe is with them – announced b. The Polish prime minister. He informed that the European Council in the coming months will address the issue of relations with Russia and the situation in Ukraine.
One of the most controversial issues raised in Parliament today was the question of an information exchange system for passengers. The draft directive on the transfer of data to the authorities of passengers traveling to and from the EU, ie. PNR has been rejected in the spring of 2013 years a small number of votes in the EP’s committee. Civil liberties. MEPs decided that the Directive could lead to violations of the fundamental rights of citizens, in particular the right to privacy.
The question of the system came back after the recent bombings in Paris. Negotiations are currently underway in this case. Tusk appealed to MEPs to speed up the system. – These are very serious issues. Parliament takes seriously the defense of civil liberties. However, we turn to state also that you should try to protect the safety of those who have chosen this chamber. Will always be a choice between security and freedom, we must strike the right balance – he said.
3. Discussion after the
After Tusk spoke of the European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker. His speech is disrupted by Janusz Korwin-Mikke. Laughed at the expression Juncker – the head of the European Commission even got into him in a brief discussion.
Then Manfred Weber, head of the faction of the European People’s Party (MPs belong to the OP – is a government Juncker), announced – what pretty obvious – cooperation with the head of the Council and support for the plan Juncker. Later, it was not so colorful. Andrzej Duda spoke, PiS candidate for president, currently MEP – a representative of the conservative faction EKiR.
Cleverly combined current events in Poland, of which the opposition blames the government PO, with an appeal to the Commission and the Council to take into account the Polish energy interests.
– Today the miners strike in Poland 11 mines. The prospect of liquidation of coal mines in Poland is the destruction of the existence of thousands of families, thousands of jobs. I want to appeal to the plan Juncker took into account the need for changes in the mining industry to be money for the modernization of the energy sector, especially for those countries that for decades were under Communist rule – Duda said.

What will be the amount of investment assessment criteria Juncker plan? – Criticized Tusk and Council representative fraction United Left Dimitrios Papadimoulis. He referred to the same to the lack of specifics December European Council, which sprawozdawał Tusk.
Not satisfied he was also a member of the Green Philippe Lamberts. – Today, one in four Europeans is threatened by poverty. And nothing on this topic I have not found in the Council conclusions and plan Juncker, – he said.
But definitely the strongest words came to Tusk British politician Nigel Farage of fractions Europe of Freedom and Democracy. – In the UK, immigration is a serious problem. You promised that immigrants are returning to Polish, since 2004. Poland has lost 2 million people. The Lord is the latest Polish immigrant. You had 60 thousand. per year, now you have 300 thousand. Congratulations! – Mocked b. The Polish prime minister.
The line proukraińskiej Tusk and the EU’s position towards Russia responded in style Janusz Korwin-Mikke. – Our enemies are not in Moscow, but in the mosques in Paris – he said. – We should put back the death penalty, because otherwise we can not beat them. We should reject the whole of the EU acquis. Therefore, I believe that the Union must be destroyed – he said.
– It was a shameful statement – summed Parliament President Martin Schulz. I said that Korwin-Mikke words exactly look at.
5. Tusk responds to critics
When there MEPs are finished, preach again took the Tusk. – I’m impressed, Mr Farage, keep it up.
