28 April - 30 April: Committees and Political Groups
In the week of 28 of April, Members' work will be split between meetings in Parliamentary Committees and political groups. The Committees on Employment and Social Affairs and on Culture and Education will host Executive Vice-President Roxana Minzatu on 5 May to discuss the Union of Skills. Launched in March, the initiative focuses on high quality education and skills development to address labour shortages and strengthen EU competitiveness. Follow the links below to discover this week's highlights.
The European Parliament’s calendar for 2025 is available through the link below. Parliament decides its annual calendar of work on the basis of a proposal by the Conference of Presidents. It is divided into plenary sittings (part-sessions) and meetings.
The Fact Sheets on the EU provide an overview of European integration and of Parliament's contribution to that process. They present a brief summary of the EU's institutions and policies, and of Parliament's role in their development. Available in 24 languages, they cover five main areas: how the EU works; economy, science and quality of life; cohesion, growth and jobs; fundamental rights, security and justice; and the EU's external relations. The online version is updated regularly.
Parliament's committees deal with EU legislative proposals by adopting reports, which then are referred to plenary for voting by all Members, and appoint negotiation teams to conduct talks with Council. They adopt non-legislative reports, organise hearings with experts and scrutinise other EU bodies and institutions. Parliament can set up sub-committees and special committees to deal with specific issues. Each committee elects a chair and up to four vice-chairs for a two and a half year mandate.
