European Parliament · Plenary sitting of 8 October 2026
Real excerpt
EU strategies for islands, coastal communities and outermost regions
Raffaele Fitto, Executive Vice-President of the European Commission
Transcript · English, the language of the speech
01:10:36 Honorable members, Europe is diverse.
01:10:39 Its regions face different realities, different challenges.
01:10:45 If we want European policies to work, we need to understand those challenges and understand the territories we are working for.
01:10:54 This is why I am very pleased that over the last months, we have responded to a long-standing call from this Parliament by adopting three new territorial strategies for islands, coastal communities, and outermost regions.
Tracked keyword Alert: “outermost regions” was just mentioned in the chamber
The transcript and the speaker as Polyfact produced them. The keyword is an example of an alert.
The need
Following the debates that matter, live.
Live Monitoring already existed in the U.K. POLITICO Pro subscribers wanted the same for Brussels, Strasbourg and Paris. POLITICO extended it to the European Parliament, the French National Assembly and the French Senate as the 2027 budget debates opened in France.
This new service meets a clear need that subscribers have shared with us as they use POLITICO Pro. What subscribers get
Parliament, live, next to POLITICO's reporting.
- Live transcripts
- Debates appear in writing while the sitting is under way, then in their final version.
- Identified speakers
- Each intervention is tied to its speaker. When Polyfact is not certain, it writes no name.
- Keyword alerts
- An issue, a policy file, an organisation or a person: subscribers are alerted as soon as it comes up in the chamber.
- Video of the exchanges
- Every intervention can be watched on video, at the exact moment it was made.
