SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, EP President, Dear colleagues. We are here today, a day after a horrific shooting in Copenhagen where three people were murdered in a shopping mall after being shot by an armed assailant. I think I speak for everyone here when I say our thoughts are with all the victims and their families and everyone in Copenhagen, Denmark. We are with you.

SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, EP President, Yesterday, we also saw the terrible news emerge of a mountain glacier collapsing in the Alps in Italy that left at least six persons dead, eight injured and 20 missing. Experts have told us that the warming temperature means that the entire glacier is under threat. The horrible tragedy in the Dolomites between the northern Italian regions of Trentino and Veneto has shocked all of us.

SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, EP President, And I wanted to use this opportunity to offer our deepest condolences and those of the European Parliament to those affected. And I would like to ask you, dear colleagues, to join us in having a minute of silence. Thank you.
