<p>SOUNDBITE (German), Karl NEHAMMER, Austrian Federal Chancellor, The Russian war of agression against Ukraine is still on going. This means that there is destabilization, which we have to take seriously and discuss together. The European Parliament is also really important right now for Austria, because the Austrian Commisioner-designate will face his hearing soon and it is good to talk about that as well. For me it is also a great pleasure to congratulate for the Grand Decoration of Honour at the National Council, which it has been given to President Metsola today.</p>

SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, EP President, At a time where it is good to discuss the closeness of the European Parliament with national parliaments, but also at a time when various challenges are facing us. You mentioned, dear Chancellor, Migration, security, competitiveness, citizens even in Austria told us to be careful of protecting them in terms of security, in terms of cost of living, crisis, in terms of of housing, in terms of security. These are all issues that we will be dealing with, in the European Parliament besides, of course, the statutory hearing of all Commissioners, including Mr. Brunner, in the next few weeks, a role which the Parliament takes extremely seriously and one which we will do carefully and properly because the next five years will be challenging at least, and it depends on each vote.
