Implementation of the 2018 Geo-blocking Regulation in the digital single market (A9-0335/2023 - Beata Mazurek) PT

13-12-2023

O relatório da Comissão IMCO procurava acabar com a exclusão dos conteúdos audiovisuais do Regulamento do bloqueio geográfico. Por considerar que o bloqueio geográfico é fundamental para assegurar a diversidade da produção cultural europeia, bem como um modelo de financiamento sustentável, acompanhei as propostas de alteração introduzidas em plenário e que refletem a posição da Comissão de Cultura e a opinião emitida, de que fui relator-sombra. Estas propostas salvaguardam o essencial da posição do setor cultural português e europeu e são fundamentais para que se continue a investir na produção cultural.
Não obstante, apesar de algumas destas posições não terem sido aprovadas pela maioria de deputados, considerei que a importância deste relatório – cuja amplitude vai para além da dimensão cultural – merecia a sua aprovação, pelo que votei favoravelmente o texto final.

Regulation of prostitution in the EU: its cross-border implications and impact on gender equality and women’s rights (A9-0240/2023 - Maria Noichl) PT

14-09-2023

O relatório sobre a regulamentação da prostituição na UE que agora foi aprovado, mereceu o meu voto favorável pelo facto de apontar o caminho para a eventual eliminação desta prática, sem conduzir à criminalização de quem a pratica. Importa saber distinguir entre os objetivos finais de uma proposta e a realidade quotidiana, para as quais se exige uma resposta concreta e adequada. O voto favorável a este relatório assenta no facto de o mesmo não promover a liberalização desta prática, de não se criminalizar a procura - tendo votado pela rejeição do modelo nórdico - e de, ao mesmo tempo, se procurar combater o tráfico humano, a exploração sexual, as desigualdades de género e promover a proteção das mulheres.

Guidelines for the 2024 budget - Section III (A9-0124/2023 - Janusz Lewandowski) PT

19-04-2023

Votei contra as alterações 19 e 29 por ser totalmente contra a construção de muros, cercas ou vedações para controlar as fronteiras da União Europeia, e ainda mais contra a utilização de financiamento europeu para estes fins. Com a aprovação da alteração 29, que previa este financiamento, votei contra o relatório na sua totalidade. A agenda populista e securitária da extrema-direita, amparada pelo centro-direita europeu, não pode encontrar na União Europeia um espaço para a sua afirmação.
