Atbalstīju šo rezolūciju, jo tā ir īpaši svarīga Baltijas jūrai. Līdz ar to arī Latvijai. Tas ir dokuments, kurā aicina risināt ķīmisko ieroču piesārņojumu Baltijas jūrā. Konteineri ar ķīmiskiem ieročiem turpina lēnām rūsēt un sadalīties, radot apdraudējumu cilvēku veselībai un jūras ekosistēmām. Ar šīs rezolūcijas pieņemšanu Eiropas Savienībai tiek prasīts rīkoties, lai apzinātu šo ieroču pašreizējo stāvokli un sāktu Baltijas jūras attīrīšanu. Gribu īpaši atzīmēt, ka šis dokumentus tapis pēc divu cilvēku iesniegumiem Parlamenta Lūgumrakstu komitejai, un viens no iesniedzējiem ir Latvijas pilsonis.

. – Atbalstīju šo regulu, jo uzskatu, ka lauksaimniecībai ES jābūt taisnīgai, elastīgai attiecībā uz krīzes pārvarēšanu un videi nekaitīgai.
Jaunās KLP ietvaros lielāku atbalstu gūs mazie un vidējie lauksaimniecības uzņēmēji, tai pat laikā tiks stingrāk kontrolēti vides un dzīvnieku labturības noteikumi, kas nepieciešams ES lauksaimniecības attīstībai pareizajā un videi draudzīgajā virzienā.

. – Balsoju “par” šo rezolūciju, jo Eiropas Komisijai ir jāpiedāvā plāns, kā Covid-19 pandēmijas laikā saglabāt ikviena skolēna piekļuvi izglītībai. Kā redzams pēdējos statistikas datos, atsevišķās ES dalībvalstīs līdz pat 32 % skolēnu pavasarī nevarēja piedalīties mācībās, jo nav bijis pieejams internets vai nepieciešamais aprīkojums. Ar šo rezolūciju Eiropas Parlaments aicina Eiropas Komisiju nekavējoties nākt klajā ar plānu, kā šo situāciju atrisināt.
