Missões
Uma comissão pode decidir efetuar uma deslocação a um Estado-Membro ou a um país terceiro ou participar em conferências internacionais. As missões são realizadas no exercício das competências atribuídas à comissão parlamentar em causa e nelas participa um número limitado dos seus membros. As comissões podem igualmente enviar, por um período não superior a três dias, uma delegação composta por três membros às agências para as quais têm competências específicas. A presente página contém todas as informações disponíveis sobre as diferentes missões.

EUDS Members were in Helsinki and Stockholm in October 2025 to gain insights from the two Nordic countries in countering hybrid threats, foreign interference, sabotage, attacks against critical infrastructure, espionage and enhancing societal resilience, building on their “whole of society” model.
Taiwan stands at the frontline of hybrid challenges posed by authoritarian regimes. This mission was an opportunity for EUDS committee members to understand how democratic partners outside the EU counter interference, invest in societal resilience and maintain democratic processes while under pressure.
The Special Committee on the European Democracy Shield (EUDS) aims to recommend improvements to legislation to strengthen its democratic processes against malicious interference, foreign and domestic. One way to do this is via the exchange of best practices and the learning from tools from relevant third countries. Another objective of the mission to London was to exchange specifically in the context of a renewed cooperation post-Brexit.
A delegation from the EUDS Special Committee travelled to The Hague and Paris on 24 and 25 April 2025. The mission allowed participants to become acquainted with the work of a number of relevant bodies and organisations at Union and national level and to appraise their possible contribution to the European Democracy Shield.
The European Democracy Shield Committee's mission to Moldova (26-28 May 2025) examined the current challenges of hybrid warfare and Moldova's institutional response to foreign interference.
