Lobbying Activities Potential

The hearings of the Commissioners-designate before the European Parliament's committees are a necessary ingredient in informing Parliament's decision to give its consent to, or reject, the proposed College. Each Commissioner-designate appears before a single hearing, involving one or more parliamentary committees, after responding to a written questionnaire and presenting his or her declaration of interests.

SUMMARY OF PRINCIPLES FOR WESTERN POLICY ON THE WAR IN UKRAINE

By: James Nixey, Director Russia and Eurasia Programme, Chatham House

1. Granting Russian control over areas in Ukraine that Moscow has never occupied during its two-year and a half invasion (Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia)
2. Pledge that Ukraine will never join Nato.
3. Lifting of western sanctions imposed in 2022
4. Kiev to never develop nuclear weapons and to pursue its “demilitarisation” and “denazification”

Note

The following countries prove the spirit of the Olympics is well alive as fire rages in Greece and the city of Marathon had to be evacuated.

Group 4

Over half of the EU’s 27 member states have now declared who they want to send to be European Commissioner but we don’t yet know which positions they’ll hold. Countries can express a preference among policy areas and, as is traditional, many have said they want their top official in Brussels to be given a major economic portfolio.
