EU preparedness in an uncertain world: MEPs discuss the Niinistö report

At 9.00, former Finnish President Sauli Niinistö will present his report on how the EU can take a more proactive approach to preparedness and comprehensive security instead of merely reacting to shock events, as the world becomes more crisis-prone and less predictable. Mr Niinistö’s address will be followed by a debate between MEPs.

EU deforestation law: vote on postponing its application

At 11.00, MEPs will decide whether to delay provisions of the EU deforestation law, which aims to ensure products sold in the EU are not sourced from deforested land anywhere in the world. Several amendments have been proposed by political groups, including the creation of a new category of countries posing “no risk” on deforestation, which would come with less stringent requirements.
