SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, EP President, Each country has its own path. Each country has its own reality. And when you look at what has happened in this country and the way this country has been transformed in the past ten years, makes no mistake about the impact that everybody, whether it's members of the European Parliament, colleagues, I can see here joining us, whether it's in the commission with Dubravka, whether it is with national members of Parliament, which I will discuss with tomorrow, but also with Andrei's leadership in the Council.

SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, EP President, Wherever I go in every member State, I insist on meeting with young people to see what they ask. And there are three themes that they ask about. So they ask about A.I., artificial intelligence. Where are we going? Two: Jobs, housing, climate.

SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, EP President, But three, there is always one woman who puts her hand up and says, Why is it so difficult for a woman to be in politics today? And my answer is always that we it is our responsibility as elected politicians, whether male or female, to encourage more women to enter from a younger age. We need younger candidates and we need more female candidates. The territory is hostile, the scenery is difficult, but it has to be us women to help pull the younger women up in order to face a very difficult challenge, but one where if you have principles, you stick to them, you stay with them. And if you fall, you pick yourself up and continue.
