The winner of the 2015 Sakharov Prize  for Freedom of Thought

will be crowned at the  Strasbourg plenary before Christmas.

But what ground can be made  on fighting terrorism and tackling migration?

It's time to find out.  Welcome to the Agenda.

Kicking off the wish list: data protection.

All three institutions are currently  in negotiations to flesh out an agreement.

Some revisions to the text  are calling for an increase in fines

as well as making the conditions for  accessing personal information harder.

If accepted, MEPs will vote  on the agreement on Thursday.

EU leaders meet in Brussels  on Thursday and Friday.

What decisions can they take to tackle  terrorism and fight radicalism this year?

The Commission President Jean-Claude  Juncker will lead the debate on Wednesday,

picking apart the agenda, which includes  migration and the UK’s EU referendum.

Could a dedicated European  coast guard and border system

help manage the migration crisis better?

So what could be their role,  composition and function?

And what then for Frontex,  the EU border management agency?

EC First Vice-President Frans Timmermans  will present the plans to MEPs on Tuesday.

MEPs had called for binding targets  to help save the planet from global warming.

But just what was the outcome of  the UN Climate Conference in Paris?

It was billed by many as the moment  that leaders needed to make count.

Talks fell behind schedule over differences  of the terms of the agreement.

But what was decided for the years ahead?

Find out by following the debate  on Tuesday.

An EU report chides Turkey  for its human rights abuses.

But how far can the EU push  a country that is so important

in helping to carry the burden  of the refugee crisis?

Negotiations between the institutions  are set to carry on for a few years yet,

but can there be an agreement  on an EU-wide Energy Union

that looks to create better  integration and self-dependency?

Publicly flogged and  serving a ten-year jail sentence,

could the torment for Saudi blogger  Raif Badawi be finally coming to an end?

He’s been languishing in jail since 2012,

but reports suggest  his case is now under review.

Badawi has been awarded  countless awards for his courage

and the European Parliament too  has awarded him

the 2015 Sakharov Prize  for Freedom of Thought.

His wife will receive the award on his behalf  at a ceremony on Wednesday.

And that’s all we have for this Agenda.  Take care and enjoy the week.
