Speech – Peter Teffer

Dear newly-elected MEPs,

28 juni 201928 juni 2019 -

This is more or less a verbatim of the speech I gave on Wednesday 26 June 2019 in the European Parliament.

Congratulations new members of the European Parliament.

You have managed to convince voters that you are the best people to represent their interests. You will get to shape EU policy for the next five years.
