The right of information of the Parliament regarding the ongoing assessment of the national recovery and resilience plans (B9-0276/2021) DA

20-05-2021

Dansk Folkepartis delegation er stor modstander af genopretnings- og resiliensfaciliteten og har derfor stemt imod den ved enhver afstemning i parlamentssalen. Nu, hvor genopretnings- og resiliensfaciliteten er vedtaget, finder Dansk Folkepartis delegation det dog vigtigt at sikre fuld gennemsigtighed med hensyn til tidsplanen for godkendelse af de delegerede retsakter, der følger af forordningen om genopretnings- og resiliensfaciliteten, og deler derfor betænkningens opfordring til, at Kommissionen med henblik på at sikre korrekt demokratisk og parlamentarisk kontrol med gennemførelsen af genopretnings- og resiliensfaciliteten og større gennemsigtighed og demokratisk ansvarlighed regelmæssigt skal informere Parlamentet, både mundtligt og skriftligt, om status for vurderingen af de nationale genopretnings- og resiliensplaner.
Derfor valgte Dansk Folkepartis delegation at bakke op om betænkningen om Parlamentets ret til information om den igangværende vurdering af de nationale genopretnings- og resiliensplaner.

2019-2020 Reports on Turkey (A9-0153/2021 - Nacho Sánchez Amor) DA

19-05-2021

Dansk Folkepartis delegation anerkender, at betænkningen om EU-Kommissionens rapporter 2019-2020 om Tyrkiet er mere kritisk, end hidtidige betænkninger fra EU-Parlamentet. Dansk Folkepartis delegation finder det dog langtfra tilfredsstillende, at man igennem hele betænkningen stadig anser Tyrkiet som et kandidatland til et kommende EU-medlemskab. Dansk Folkepartis delegation er stærkt undrende overfor, at det i betænkningen med beklagelse understreges, at Tyrkiets tiltrædelsesforhandlinger under de nuværende omstændigheder reelt er gået i stå. Samtidigt er Dansk Folkeparti af den klare overbevisning, at Erdogan-regimets uacceptable provokationer ikke bør belønnes ved at fortsætte endeløse og meningsløse tiltrædelsesforhandlinger med Tyrkiet, og at al finansiering til Tyrkiet med forbindelse til førtiltrædelsesprocessen bør indstilles og afsluttes omgående.
Betænkningen er på enkelte områder mere kritisk end vanligt, men EU-Parlamentet burde for længst have opfordret Kommissionen og Rådet til betingelsesløst og uigenkaldeligt at afslutte alle forhandlinger om Tyrkiets tiltrædelse af EU, da landet ikke er et europæisk land og ikke handler i overensstemmelse med europæiske værdier, navnlig de værdier, der sigter mod at bevare et fredeligt Europa, og derfor ikke bør blive medlem af EU. Derfor valgte Dansk Folkepartis delegation at stemme imod betænkningen.

Accelerating progress and tackling inequalities towards ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030 (B9-0263/2021) DA

19-05-2021

Dansk Folkepartis delegation bakker på flere områder op om betænkningen om fremskyndelse af fremskridt og bekæmpelse af uligheder med henblik på at eliminere aids som en trussel mod folkesundheden senest i 2030. Ligesom betænkningen er Dansk Folkepartis delegation af den klare overbevisning, at sundhed er en forudsætning for menneskelig udvikling. Desværre blev et ændringsforslag, der opfordrer EU til at støtte Indiens og Sydafrikas WTO-initiativ med henblik på midlertidigt at give afkald på intellektuelle ejendomsrettigheder med hensyn til covid-19-vacciner, -udstyr og -behandlinger, vedtaget og skrevet ind i teksten. Den tilføjelse kan Dansk Folkepartis delegation ikke bakke op om, og derfor valgte Dansk Folkeparti at stemme imod den endelige betænkning.
