Transcript of the meeting
So, ladies and gentlemen, dear colleagues, I think we should start. My name is Peter Liza, and have already been asked by colleagues. Am I the oldest member here in the comedy? No, I hope not. But they told me I’m the longest serving member off envy. And because the chair and the deputy chair that has been in the past a lot no longer serving and our former chair, Adina Valionis standing as chair for the church committee at the same time. That’s why I have been asked to chair this meeting. Welcome everybody. And because I have here my notes in German and it’s ah, technically and legally complicated issue, I will speak in German now. So if you don’t understand German, please use your headphones Liver Corrigan on dear colleagues. I, uh I declare that the session open and that the purpose of today’s meeting is two. Elect the chair and the vice chairs for the committee and also the substitutes, and there will be four of those. And that’s the order in which we will proceed on. First of all, we have to determine who is qualified to vote. So, of course it is the full members of the committee. That’s clear. And then we also have a number of colleagues who are full members but who are not able to be here this afternoon on. So for that reason, they have sent in a subsidence. I’ve been told that instead of Mr Andreas Gluck, it will be Mrs O’Leary Camilla, who will be voting older. Camilla is here. I see on the easy. Our group has told us that instead of Mr Rob broke in, it will be Mrs Days. Mel Berta, who will be voting. Yes, she’s there. And then the non attached informed us of two changes instead of James Alexander Lentz. It’ll be Mr Nikola Betty Genie who will be voting on Dhe instead of Christina Taylor Jordan. It will be Mr Took who will be voting. So I just have to ask whether or not there are any other full members who aren’t able to attend on door where there will be a representative voting either if this appointment has already been made or if you wish to make a new appointment of a replacement, I don’t seem to have any notifications of that type. No, no other changes. No one else standing in. So in that case, uh, those who are in take title to vote are the full members on Those are standing in for full members as listed on now. I just want to check whether or not we have a quorum so that we can vote that will have to be at least 1\/4 19. So I think we meet the quorum as far as I could see looking around the room on, then I just wanted to check whether or not there any questions. So candidates for the chair can. The appointment nomination can be made either by a group or by at least 20 members. And so I just wanted to ask whether or not there is a proposal for thank you very much, says Mr Tovar. And just to understand, be sure that you understand what I’m saying. I’m going to try it in German because English is actually so difficult. The Renew Europe. A group. I’m from that group. I would like to make a proposal. Thank you very much. What’s lock on this? Is it not so we’ve got that on. That’s the Renew. Europe, until that means that all of the S O. I just want to ask whether or not the candidate accepts the nomination. Yes, Apparently that is the case. And then there is a comment by Miriam Dolly from the S and D Group before we take the vault. It has nothing to do with the nomination. And you were mentioning the substitute that are replacing the full members. I would liketo notify you that we’ll have Marie Arana substituting Ravana plum, who is a full member since she doesn’t have the card with her. Please. And I would like you to take that notification in tow. I come to thank you. Okay, we will take that into account. I continue again in German. Um dare county dot It’s on S O. The candidate is a full member that meets that condition. And now I have to ask whether or not the financial declaration has been made and also the code of conduct and Secretariat is telling me that both of these documents have been submitted, and so that brings us to the vote. So we’re going to test the Elektronik system, will be doing it in plenary next weekend’s of well and so we’re going to have a A test using artists s so that we can check that it’s working. And so can I ask for the equipment to be activated so that we can use the voting stations? Really? So listen to me. Neuter Barton. Just have to wait a minute until it’s being turned on and you should see the names of artists on your screen. So put your cart into the machine. That’s important. Otherwise we cannot start with procedure. Okay, This kind of thing. Okay, well, so often. Okay, good. Okay, then I think we can close the vote. A close vote. Okay. It’s okay. I don’t see the revived, but the Secretariat is telling me it’s fine. So next time, I will be more vigilant. But this was only the test. So yet, um, So now we have to decide how we’re going to vote. Well, festival. If a least 1\/5 of the members want a secret vote, then we will do that other ways we can vote by acclamation. So I just want to ask whether anyone would like to have a secret ballot. Apparently, that is not the case. And then in that case, I would Pascal go found by acclamation. Yeah, that’s the Duncan dancing Look. Yes, thank you very much. And congratulations to a Pascal on his election. And I think that the chair will have Thio start working right away and I will go back to sit in the rest of the meeting room. Well, thank you very much for giving me, uh, uh, your trust for sharing this committee. Just a few words, because we are pressed by by the time the first message is that this committee is now the largest committee in the parliament for the first time. And, ah, off course, it’s just a symbol. But as you know, in politics, symbol matters. So it means that, uh, it’s a symbol off this parliament. This house taking very seriously the climate emergency issues, the biodiversity laws has a consumer protection, at least more than ever. And hopefully, as we should do when you look at the level off emergency. So that’s the first symbol, and I think it’s to be spread all over the media and the social network. That committee is the largest one in this house for the first time, and the second message is that I will be very, very careful in sharing the fact that there is no one Western Europe and one Eastern Europe. When it comes to transition, we our task is to bring forward carbon neutrality for our continent. We have different starting points, but we should end at the same time in 2054 couple neutrality. And it’s our task here not to leave anybody, any territory, any social group behind this road and this adventure for carbon neutrality. So I think that’s a message I wanted to share with you because it’s part off DNA here in this house. And the last message would be that, of course. Ah, I really want to be us to be the front runners, the frontrunners in this house, the frontrunners in the European institutions game to make sure that we are at the right level of ambition. Which doesn’t mean, of course, compromise. Because we that also the outof politics, but making sure that this committee stands for what is needed when it comes to fighting climate change, fighting, biodiversity loss and fighting other crisis. We know on the environmental front, and I know that wherever you are in this room in which of a group. You are part off. You share that commitment, that the young people are looking at us and we need to meet their expectations. Thank you. So that’s what’s for the short message as an introduction. And then I will get back to the formal voting procedure. And as ah pitcher made it in England in your German. Sorry, I wouldn’t make it in French, so yeah, massive a coup. Thanks very much indeed. If it allover. Okay, Now we’re going now to appoint thee vice chair steps you chairs and we’ll begin with the first deputy chair.
