EU Parliament’s Upcoming Plenary

The European Parliament is set to host a press briefing on the upcoming plenary session scheduled from July 6-9. The briefing will be held on Friday, July 3, at 11:00 AM in the Parliament’s Anna Politkovskaya press room in Brussels, and will also be accessible online via Interactio.

During next week’s plenary session, key issues on the agenda include improving air passenger rights, evaluating the Irish Council presidency’s priorities as presented by Taoiseach Micheál Martin, and discussing the outcomes of the recent European Council meeting held on June 18-19. Other significant topics include measures to protect citizens from recurring heatwaves and upcoming wildfires, coordination of EU member states’ social security systems, and providing support for farmers grappling with rising fertiliser costs.

Further discussions will focus on the EU-Mexico trade partnership, strategies to bolster the automotive sector’s competitiveness, and the integration process of Ukraine, Moldova, and Serbia into the EU. The session will also consider a new action plan on cybersecurity and AI, and explore ways to support civil society, anti-war actors, and independent media in Russia.
