Listing the third countries whose nationals must be in possession of visas when crossing the external borders and those whose nationals are exempt from that requirement (Kosovo) (A8-0261/2016 - Tanja Fajon) IT

28-03-2019

Ho espresso voto favorevole al progetto circa la previsione di un elenco dei paesi terzi i cui cittadini devono essere in possesso del visto all'atto dell'attraversamento delle frontiere esterne ed elenco dei paesi terzi i cui cittadini sono esenti da tale obbligo. L'esenzione dal visto non solo consentirebbe i contatti interpersonali, migliorerebbe la cooperazione transfrontaliera e gli scambi culturali, formativi e professionali, ma aiuterebbe anche a contrastare l'immigrazione irregolare, rendendo infruttuose le attività dei criminali.
Un regime dei visti liberalizzato offrirà ai cittadini nuove possibilità di recarsi all'estero per scopi turistici e per visitare parenti e amici senza dover affrontare procedure lunghe e costose per l'ottenimento del visto.

Quality of water intended for human consumption (A8-0288/2018 - Michel Dantin) IT

28-03-2019

Ho votato a favore della relazione in materia di qualità delle acque destinate al consumo umano. L'accesso all'acqua potabile di qualità rimane un tema importante per i cittadini europei, che tocca la loro vita quotidiana, influenzandone la salute e le attività.

Increasing the efficiency of restructuring, insolvency and discharge procedures (A8-0269/2018 - Angelika Niebler) IT

28-03-2019

Ho espresso voto positivo alla direttiva volta ad aumentare l'efficacia delle procedure di ristrutturazione, insolvenza e liberazione dai debiti. L'obiettivo è quello di eliminare gli ostacoli all'esercizio delle libertà fondamentali, quali la libera circolazione dei capitali e la libertà di stabilimento, derivanti dalle differenze tra le legislazioni e procedure nazionali in materia di ristrutturazione preventiva, insolvenza e seconda opportunità.
