What implications for parliamentary oversight and transparency?
On Tuesday, 27 January 2026, from 15:00 to 16:30, the Subcommittee on Tax Matters (FISC) will organise a public hearing on “Tackling tax obstacles in the Single Market”. Experts will present their views and discuss with FISC Members how to address remaining tax-related obstacles and distortions in the Single Market.
On 27 January 2026, the Committee on Budgetary Control (CONT) will organise the public hearing “Protection of the financial interests of the EU in Slovakia”.
On 27 January, from 16:30 to 17:30, the study on the future of EU tax policy harmonisation will be presented in the FISC Subcommittee meeting. The purpose of the study is to analyse how fragmented tax rules in the EU could create economic and administrative costs, i.e. the cost of non-Europe, in taxation.
The aim of the public hearing on "Own Resources for the future: critical review & opportunities" is to evaluate the expected impact of the proposed basket of new own resources (Commission proposal 2025/0574(CNS)) on the Union's financial autonomy and resilience, critically analyse potential adoption challenges and weaknesses, and assess alternative revenue sources as complementary or possible substitute options.
The European Commission published its proposal for the new Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) 2028-2034 on 16 July 2025. Part of this proposal was a dedicated heading for the European Competitiveness Fund (ECF).
Workshop on Exploring the Feasibility of a European Senior/Pensioner Card
The Committee on Security and Defence (SEDE) and Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE) are organising a joint public hearing with the title: “Cyber-defence and cybersecurity”, which will take place on 29 January 2026 (09.00-10.30).
Hearings
Under Rule 193 of the Rules of Procedure, a committee is permitted to organise a hearing with experts, where this is considered essential to its work on a particular subject. Hearings can also be held jointly by two or more committees. Most committees organise regular hearings, as they allow them to hear from experts and hold discussions on the key issues. On this page you will find all the available information relating to committee hearings, including programmes, posters and contributions from speakers.
Workshops
Workshops are organised by the policy departments and the Scientific Foresight Unit (STOA) and administered in accordance with the Financial Regulation. They are not necessarily held in public but may be held during a Committee meeting.
