Week ahead in the European Parliament

(3.7.2017) The voting session will see a vote on whether to set up a special temporary committee to assess the effectiveness of EU anti-terror policies.

A new committee is backed by the centre-right EPP and liberal ALDE groups, but opposed by the centre-left S&D and far-left GUE groups.

S&D leader Gianni Pittella has said setting up a new committee makes „absolutely no sense“ and will simply duplicate work and waste money.
