ITRE European Parliament
Follow its sittingsAura Salla
I would also like to thank my co-rapporteurs and everyone who contributed to this file. As a proud NATO reservist from Finland and Finnish Air Force, I want to say that this is the momentum for Europe's capabilities to build up and Europe's defense industry building up. And Europe needs to stand on our own and this is a great step today for our own defense. Thank you.
Pierfrancesco Maran
Yes, I too would like to thank the other rapporteurs, Mrs. Salla and Mrs. Mikser, and all the shadow rapporteurs involved in the negotiation. I want also to thank the secretariat and all the technical teams for their constructive cooperation and dedication.
I think the final agreement successfully achieved the balance among the defense issue and also the human health and protection and the environment. It introduced target measures that will help strengthen Europe's defense capabilities and improve the resilience of our industrial base while preserving the high standard of health protection, environmental safeguard, and innovation. Thank you.
Pierfrancesco Maran
Yeah, thank you. So now we can start the voting session and proceed to the vote on the provisional agreement resulting from the interinstitutional negotiation on a proposal regarding defense readiness and facilitating defense investment and condition for defense industry. We have any substitute or no? So the vote will be a roll call vote. So we make a test vote now.
I open the test vote. Yes, okay, green if you think Italy will win World Cup, otherwise red. I hope the World Cup will end soon and we will go back talking about badminton and much interesting sports.

Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann
Okay, colleagues, just give me one minute. Please, please, just one minute. I think it's very important what we are talking about. So, I warmly welcome the outcome of today's vote and the clear majority in support of this important file. Today's vote is the third and final one organized in the context of the omnibus package.
With this, we are taking an important step towards ensuring that Europe is better prepared to address current and future security challenges. I would like to thank the rapporteurs, shadow rapporteurs, and all colleagues from SEDE, ENVI, and ITRE for the constructive cooperation throughout this progress. Together, we have delivered a strong contribution to building a more resilient, prepared, and secure Europe. But I tell you the truth, it's only the beginning. We need not only the Commission and us as MEPs, we need really the competition and the really the nations.
So your job is, tell your nations, tell your governments they have to do more.
At the end they have to do more. So thank you all for your work and commitment and now we have any other business? No, I don't think so. Thank you very much.
Yvan Verougstraete
