I support this proposal.
The InvestEU Programme will provide crucial support to companies in the recovery phase and will at the same time, and in line with its original goals, ensure a strong focus of investors on the Union’s medium- and long-term policy priorities such as the European Green Deal, the European Green Deal Investment Plan and the Strategy on shaping Europe’s digital future
My group, the S&D has fought for a more social and environmental dimension of the program. These elements are now central to the program as well as gender equality, culture and tourism.
My group also tabled an amendment to state that actions under the InvestEU Programme are expected to contribute at least 40% of the overall financial envelope of the InvestEU Programme to climate objectives. The initial Commission proposal was 25%. I believe this is a step forward.

Given the fact that the evaluation study recommended a new agreement with the Republic of Seychelles and that this fisheries agreement is the most financially significant EU tuna agreement.
Let us not forget that this Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreement with the Republic of Seychelles is one of only two active agreements in the region (along with that with Mauritius), after the expiry of the protocols with Mozambique and Madagascar, and the denunciation of the agreement with the Comoros.
Therefore, I support this file in the plenary.
