. – I supported this resolution on the Special Committee on PEGA, which was set up on March 2022. Among other things, the committee was mandated to investigate the scope of alleged contraventions, or maladministration in the implementation, of Union law regarding the use of the Pegasus and equivalent surveillance spyware. The alleged breaches took place in Poland, Hungary, Greece, Spain and Cyprus.

. – I voted in favour of this resolution, which calls for the EU to observe an EU day for victims of the global climate crisis every year on 15 July. The aim of the day is to commemorate victims, to raise awareness about the impacts of climate change, and to support those providing assistance in disasters. It is appropriate to commemorate and honour victims, but MEPs must not forget that their real role in the climate crisis is to legislate for ambitious climate action, and to insist on adequate climate financing to support climate mitigation and adaptation in the Global South.

. – I voted in favour to give consent to the EU and the Council position to ratify Ukraine's accession to this convention. The convention provides a minimum standard for the circulation of foreign judgments in civil and commercial matters among the countries that are party to the convention. It mostly relates to cross-border transactions and clarity as to whether and to what extent a judgment will be recognised and enforced in another jurisdiction.
