Resumption of session and order of business: opening remarks by Roberta METSOLA, EP President on the murder of Belgian policeman

SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, EP President, And then last announcement, dear colleagues, the attack on two police officers in Brussels last week, killing one, wounding the other, reminds us of the risks our police forces face daily. We must remain vigilant to threats to our internal security, and the European Parliament works so closely with the Belgian police that it is difficult for this not to feel personal to all of us. Our thoughts are with the families of the victims.
