- Description
- Since Moscow's full-scale illegal and unjustified invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, the EU has adopted unprecedentedly tough sanctions against Russia.
So far there have been 11 sanctions packages, targeting key sectors of the country's economy and its political elites.
Moscow has, however, found ways to bypass these measures, by using intermediaries and loopholes in trade restrictions.
MEPs will discuss with representatives from the European Commission and the Council whether the EU’s sanctions against Russia are working, and how to prevent Moscow from exploiting loopholes.
A resolution will be voted in the coming days.

- Description
- Members of the European Parliament will debate and vote on a €50 billion facility to support Ukraine's recovery, reconstruction and modernisation from 2024 to 2027.
Parliament members have improved the proposal by strengthening transparency and democratic accountability. One of their key demands was that Russian assets should be used to fund Ukraine’s reconstruction.
As the Ukraine Facility is part of the ongoing revision of the long-term EU budget, members of the European Parliament insist that the Facility, along with the entire budgetary revision, should be agreed as soon as possible, as currently there are no provisions for assistance to Ukraine from 2024. The package should be integrated also into the EU's budget for next year, to be negotiated in November 2023.

Parliament wants the European Media Freedom Act, which members will debate on 3 October and vote on the same day, to oblige EU countries to ensure media plurality and protect media independence from governmental, political, economic, or private interference.

- Parliament is expected to call for more EU action to support organisations providing aid and food to the most deprived in Europe.
The recent sharp increase in energy prices due to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, has resulted in a rise of inflation and living costs in the EU, including major price increases for food.
At least one in every three people living in a private household in the EU has difficulties making ends meet. According to the latest data from Eurostat, 8.3% of the EU population were unable to afford a healthy meal every second day - one percentage point higher compared to 2021.
This means that more people are dependent on organisations providing support and food. These organisations have recently warned they can no longer cope with inflation, forcing them to reduce the number of people they can help.
The capacity to afford a meal with meat, chicken, fish or a vegetarian equivalent every second day is among the cri...

- Parliament will discuss with representatives from the European Commission and other invited experts the revision of the current Toy Safety Directive, which has been in force since 2011. The new proposal, published by the Commission in July 2023, aims to make toys even safer for children, as well as further strengthen the single market for toys.
Toys marketed in the EU must be safe for children. EU rules are among the strictest toy safety standards in the world, including in relation to the use of chemicals. However, in order to keep ensuring the highest standards, the legislation has to be updated and improved as necessary.
During the debate, members of Parliament's internal market and consumer protection committee will have the chance to ask questions to the Commission representatives and experts.

Women's reproductive health has long been a target of anti-gender movements, and women's rights have been steadily eroded in many countries. A significant proportion of the committee's work over the past few years has been dedicated to this topic, as there has been a backlash against women's rights and gender equality in Europe and elsewhere. The committee has consistently been calling for better protection of women's rights and more funding.
