The European Parliament is gearing up for a critical plenary session taking place from November 24-27, which will see debates and votes on several significant issues, including new safety regulations for children’s toys and the creation of the first-ever European defence industry programme. The session will be introduced in a press briefing by spokespersons for the Parliament and political groups on Friday at the Anna Politkovskaya press room in Brussels. Key topics slated for discussion include adopting new toy safety rules aimed at protecting children’s health and debating safer online platforms for minors. Additionally, there will be a final vote on the establishment of a European defence industry programme, which marks a significant step in consolidating EU’s defence capabilities. Other topics involve tackling China’s rare earth export restrictions, simplifying EU’s tech and deforestation laws, and addressing security threats to EU airspace by Russia and Belarus. For those unable to attend in person, the briefing will be accessible via live web streaming and the European Broadcasting Service. The Parliament has also provided a link for journalists wishing to engage and ask questions through Interactio, a platform supporting interactive participation. This session promises to be pivotal in shaping future EU policies and regulations across various sectors. Post navigation Balkan Art Trafficking Ring Busted
