“Madam President, dear colleagues, you all have your phones with you right now, as you have them at the negotiation table, at the dinner table, maybe even on your bedside table. And for some of you, someone else has been there too. The spyware that hacked Stelios Kouloglou was silent.”
“– Dear colleague, I wanted to ask you how often you check your phone, actually. But as you told us that you do it on a regular basis, could you maybe explain to the colleagues you don't do it how you can check your phone here inside the European Parliament? 3-0521-0000 Hannah Neumann (Verts/ALE), blue-card answer.”
“And this is a collective duty because any one of us can become the Trojan horse. I get my phone checked regularly and I'm glad I know its status. Stelios got his checked and we should all be glad he did. There are certainly more people affected in this Chamber and in national parliaments across Europe.”
“Mr President, dear colleagues, grand statements do not resolve complex crises. It has been nine months since Trump declared a ceasefire for Gaza.”
“Another way to do that is through Citizen Lab. That's the organisation that has worked together with Stelios, because he's no longer a Member of the European Parliament. They can even do it remotely.”
“My question is always 'would it actually make the situation better?' It will definitely close our channels to talk to the Israelis, and that I'm doing all the time. Yes, you can say that raising these issues is not really delivering results, because it's not. I mean the situation is not better, but would it better were we to stop this?”

“It is the first NATO mission led solely by European troops and capabilities and it proves that Europe can lead in securing its regions. But we must go further than monitoring: sanction shadow fleet vessels and their owners; ban tanker sales to states undermining the oil price cap; and automatically stop sanctions and uninsured ships entering EU waters. We shouldn't wait for a blackout or an oil spill before we act decisively to protect our waters and our citizens. 2-0339-0000”
“Mr President, dear colleagues, for too long have we treated the Baltic Sea as a tourist destination, a quiet periphery of Europe. Well, it turns out it's not. Hundreds of vessels of Russia's shadow fleet pass through the Baltic, lacking proper insurance and sailing under ever‑changing flags. These worn‑down, uninsured tankers are creating the conditions for an environmental disaster of unimaginable scale. The recent breakdown of two such ships just in front of the island of Rügen offered us a glimpse of the potential magnitude. These ships are severing energy and communication lines, deliberately attacking the very arteries that connect the European Union. Last week, Europe stepped up. NATO's Baltic Sentry initiative uses advanced drone fleets to patrol and protect critical undersea infrastructure.”
