Als we denken aan het Europees Parlement, dan stellen we ons vaak parlementariërs voor die in een grote vergaderzaal hun stem uitbrengen. Die stemmingen vinden eigenlijk maar één keer per maand plaats, tijdens zogenoemde vergaderperiodes. Maar wat is een vergaderperiode dan precies? En hoe verloopt een plenaire vergadering?

Commission statement - Presentation of the Stockpiling Strategies - strengthening response capacities for a changing risk and threat landscape: MEPs debate

MEPs, with Commission and Council representatives, debate the EU’s preparations for Europe’s upcoming wildfire and drought season. In the recently launched EU preparedness union strategy, the Commission set out its intention to build on the success of the EU’s rescEU strategic reserve for disaster response, so that it can maintain and possibly scale up its existing capabilities, including aerial firefighting. Drought already affected large parts of Europe this spring, with the situation expected to worsen with rising temperatures. MEPs are likely to ask for details on specific planned EU measures to prevent and prepare for this summer’s wildfires and droughts, as well as on the status of EU climate resilience and preparedness policies

MEPs outline their priorities ahead of the presentation by the Commission of its proposal on the next multiannual financial framework (MFF). They spell out their positions and expectations for the EU’s post-2027 long-term budget. Parliament adopted a resolution on the future MFF during its May plenary session, asking for a “significantly more ambitious” budget, and arguing that the current spending ceiling of 1% of the EU-27’s gross national income is not enough. MEPs also rejected the Commission’s idea of replicating the Recovery and Resilience Facility’s "one national plan per Member State" model in the EU’s new long-term budget. Instead, they demand a structure that ensures transparency and parliamentary accountability, and involves regional and local authorities.
