Other parliamentary activities 

Written explanations of vote 
Members can submit a written explanation of their vote in plenary. Rule 194

Eurojust-Denmark Agreement on judicial cooperation in criminal matters (A8-0192/2019 - Claude Moraes)  
 

I voted in favour of the report. The report approves the conclusion by Eurojust of the Agreement on Criminal Justice Cooperation between Eurojust and the Kingdom of Denmark.

Coordination of social security systems (A8-0386/2018 - Guillaume Balas)  
 

I voted against the report. The proposed revision aims to facilitate the free movement of workers and to protect their rights while reinforcing the tools for national authorities to fight risks of abuse or fraud. However, the compromise texts were not discussed enough and many unresolved problematic areas, for example regarding the mobility of workers, remain.

CO2 emission performance standards for new heavy-duty vehicles (A8-0354/2018 - Bas Eickhout)  
 

I voted in favour of the report. The proposal sets, for the first time ever, CO2 emissions performance standards for lorries. Parliament adopted the 15% reduction for 2025 and 30% from 2030. The latter will be assessed during the review in 2022 in accordance with the European Union commitments under the Paris Agreement.
