The European Parliament is set to hold a significant plenary session from April 27 to 30, discussing a range of critical issues including the EU budget, ongoing crises, and new regulations. A press briefing scheduled for April 24 will provide insights into the upcoming debates and votes. During the session, members of the European Parliament (MEPs) will engage in debates and vote on several key topics. These include the MEPs’ position on the 2028-2034 EU budget, the multiannual financial framework (MFF), and the ongoing Middle East crisis with its implications on energy prices and fertiliser availability. Additionally, accountability measures for Russia’s attacks on Ukrainian civilians, standards on consent in rape cases, and proxy voting rights for MEPs during pregnancy are on the agenda. The briefing, taking place in the Anna Politkovskaya press room in Brussels and accessible via Interactio, will allow journalists to interact and pose questions remotely. Interpretation will be available in both English and French, ensuring broad accessibility. For those unable to attend in person, the briefing will be streamed live, allowing global participation. This session underscores the EU’s commitment to addressing both internal and international issues, reflecting its ongoing role in global political, social, and economic spheres.
