I supported this report aiming to improve the Union’s protection against market manipulation in the wholesale energy market, which is very timely in the context of the energy crisis and the geopolitical landscape that we are facing. Indeed, more than ever we cannot tolerate malpractices that could undermine the stability of the EU energy markets. To ensure this, the proposal contains numerous measures aimed at increasing legal coherence and transparency, strengthening the European dimension and consolidating the market.

I voted in favour of this report establishing a framework for a European digital identity, as I believe it could be of great benefit to our European citizens. As our world becomes increasingly connected, having cross-border digital access to key public services could help to streamline our citizens’ administrative procedures and digital exchanges. I particularly welcome the guarantees introduced to ensure that the new European wallet is secure and does not jeopardize users’ privacy. Another very important requirement, which was well integrated into the final text, was that the EU wallet must remain on a voluntary basis and not replace offline services.
