00:00Defense, Mediterranean and Housing. These are the new files identified by Ursula von der Leyen to work on in the course of her second term as President of the European Commission and which has been discussed today in the Space Experience Daviz Sassoli in Rome.
00:19The event, organized by the Italian representatives of the European Parliament Commission together with Eurofocus and DN Kronos, was an opportunity to deepen new files and analyze the prospects in light of the challenges that Europe and Italy are facing.
00:33Today we live in a particularly fragile Europe, a Europe that pays for the distractions of the past, even if it did not want an armed force to defend the borders of the continent.
00:54The threats that come from the Middle and Near East are absolutely indescribable in their evolution and therefore the certainty that President von der Leyen and above all the presence of a Vice-President and Commissioner constitute the premises for us to look ahead with the aim of
01:24optimism.
01:55There have been two topical moments in the last five years, so in the work of the previous Commission. Afghanistan and that disastrous and dishonorable escape of the West and then the war in Ukraine.
02:11In both these moments, European leaders have strongly said that there is a need for a European defense because we cannot be bound in the case of Afghanistan to the decisions of the Americans and only theirs and on Ukraine because the war is in Europe.
02:27Therefore, the task of this Commission, which has given a signal, because for the first time a Commissioner has defended it and has set up tools, will be to work effectively for greater integration, starting with industrial files, but not only, also with respect to those that must be the policies, to make effective steps forward,
02:50despite the fact that there is not yet a variation of the treaties that continue to provide for the defense a national role and not European.
