State of the European Union debate

Filling the morning’s agenda, the annual parliamentary State of the European Union debate is a key opportunity for MEPs to hold the European Commission to account. In her opening statement, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will detail both the Commission’s achievements over the past year and current challenges. The political group leaders will then steer the debate, with members assessing the Commission’s work and its plans, while also presenting their own priorities. You can follow President von der Leyen’s speech and the debate with MEPs from 09.00.

Ahead of the debate, at 08.45, European Parliament President Roberta Metsola will give a doorstep statement in the media stand-up area by the hemicycle in Strasbourg. You can follow this live via EP webstreaming and the European Broadcasting Service.
