Introductory remark by Roberta METSOLA, EP President on the 100 days ahead of the Elections

SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, EP President, Dear colleagues, this week also marks 100 days to the European elections, which will be held between the 6th and the 9th of June. The more people that vote, the stronger European democracy becomes. I would like to remind members of all the available resources that can help in raising awareness about the European elections. Notably, there is a special election website, which a Remind Me to Vote feature and a new version of the website What Europe does for me.

SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, EP President, Together, I am confident that we can continue to show politics as a force for good and that Europe can deliver. And in the spirit I also want to emphasise the importance of our legislative work. And here I want to thank you all for your steady commitment in closing of all our pending legislative work, because delivering on these files is where citizens can see the difference that Europe makes and the progress we can achieve when we work together. We need to show that this Parliament works until the last moment, and I am confident that we will do that and I am confident that people will return this House stronger.
