Highlights
The Committee on Development will hold the annual structured dialogue with the EU Commissioner on International Partnerships, Jutta Urpilainen, and the EU Commissioner on Crisis Management, Janez Lenarčič, on 25 April.
The Subcommittee on Security and Defence will exchange views with Mr Chris Peeters, Vice-President of the European Investment Bank, on the EIB’s Strategic European Security Initiative, on 25 March. This Initiative aims at supporting, via financing of up to 6 billion, dual-use projects developing security and defence systems in Europe. In the face of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the debate will focus on possibilities for the EIB to support access to financing for the European defence industry.
The Subcommittee on Tax Matters will hold a public hearing "How to reinforce the regulation of intermediaries to create an intermediary sector that ensures a fair and user-friendly tax system?" on 25 April. Speakers include Tax Advisers Europe, KPMG, a tax professor and a specialised journalist. Tax intermediaries contribute to tax systems by facilitating tax compliance and tax collection. However, it appears that some of them are involved in abusive tax avoidance and tax evasion schemes.
The Committee on Legal Affairs will hold an Interparliamentary Committee Meeting on the EU's Subsidiarity Mechanism on 25 April. The committee will also hold debate with Didier Reynders, Commissioner for Justice. The Members will discuss the amendments on Harmonised rules on Artificial Intelligence (Artificial Intelligence Act), and debate on trilogue results on Gender balance among non-executive directors of companies listed on stock exchanges and on Corporate sustainability reporting.
The Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection pursues new priorities stemming from the invasion of Ukraine, which has affected the Single Market on several levels. The Committee discussed with Commissioner Breton approaches to fighting propaganda on online platforms, and the role of the Digital Single Act in the light of Russian aggression. The Members also debated the state of play of the Single Market and its resilience with the Commission, BusinessEurope and BEUC.
