Debate on Paris attacks and anti-terror measures
MEPs will discuss the 13 November terrorist attacks in Paris and subsequent police and military operations, and also give their feedback on the 20 November Justice and Home Affairs Council meeting, in a key debate with Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and Nicolas Schmit, representing the Council Presidency on Wednesday from 8.30 to 12.00.
A resolution on preventing radicalisation and recruitment of EU citizens by terrorist organisations will also be debated on Tuesday afternoon and voted on Wednesday.
The debate is set to focus on current and envisaged anti-terror measures. These include the Passenger Name Record data (EU PNR) proposal (currently being negotiated in three-way “trialogue" talks between Parliament, Council and Commission), stepping up information-sharing among EU member states and between them and Europol, strengthening controls at the EU's external borders, tackling terrorist financing, and combating firearms trafficking.
Ways to counter Daesh in Syria and elsewhere are also expected to be addressed in the debate.
Procedure: Council and Commission statements followed by debate
Debate: Wednesday, 25 November
