8 June – 11 June: Committees and Political Groups
In the week of 8 June, Members' work is split between meetings in Parliamentary Committees and political groups. In this week, Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs will hold an exchange of views on impact of Islamic extremism on the European way of life. Later in the week Commissioner Serafin will present the Commission's Draft Budget for the year 2027 to the Members of the Committee on Budgets. Follow the links below to discover this week's highlights.
The European Parliament’s calendar 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.
