MEPs debate the US-Israel military operation against Iran, its consequences and the need to support Iranians, as well as expectations for the 19-20 March EU summit. As the United States and Israeli air strikes in Iran are ongoing, and Iran continues to respond with missile and drone attacks targeting Israel and other countries in the region with links to the US, MEPs discuss the latest developments. MEPs also outline their demands for the upcoming EU summit. They build on the sense of urgency expressed at the informal competitiveness retreat of EU leaders on 12 February 2026, where Commission President Ursula von der Leyen committed to a “One Europe, one market” roadmap aimed at completing the single market and strengthening Europe’s competitiveness. MEPs also discuss the role of the EU’s next long-term budget (the 2028–2034 multiannual financial framework) as a driver of competitiveness, alongside European defence and security priorities.

MEPs debate the urgent actions required to boost EU competitiveness, deepen the single market, and reduce the cost of living. MEPs outline their priorities for transforming the recommendations in the 2024 Draghi report into reality. They also assess the work already undertaken on the recommendations. In September 2023 European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen asked Mario Draghi to prepare a report on the future of European competitiveness. The report was completed in September 2024. It looks at the challenges faced by industry and companies and outlines how Europe will no longer be able to rely on many of the factors that have supported growth in the past. It lays out a diagnosis and provides recommendations to put Europe on a different trajectory. First part of MEPs debate.

This news item shows extracts from the debate on the motion of censure against the President Ursula von der Leyen and the European Commission. Kinga GÁL (PfE, HU), as the first signatory of the motion of censure, takes the floor first, followed by Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič and one round of political group speakers. The vote, by roll call, takes place on Thursday. To be adopted, a motion must secure a two-thirds majority of the votes cast, representing a majority of the component members. MEPs have expressed concerns about the Mercosur agreement, specifically in relation to unfair competition, compliance with European Union standards in Latin American countries and the lack of self-sufficiency. At the same time, a majority has shown support for the agreement in view of the difficult geopolitical situation and the need to find new trade deals and partners.
