EU - European Parliament - Committees - Latest news

  1. To mark the tenth anniversary of the Paris Agreement, the ENVI Committee is organising a conference that will take place on Thursday 11 December, from 13:00 to 16:00, in Brussels. It will gather actors of the Paris Agreement, including Laurence Tubiana, Special Representative for COP21 and Climate Change Ambassador, and stakeholders representing different interests, such as the scientific community, business and civil society.

    The anniversary of the Paris Agreement provides an opportunity to take stock of progress and shortcomings, both globally and from EU's point of view, after the COP30 UNFCCC meeting. The conference "From Promise to Action - 10 years of the Paris Agreement" will therefore aim to assess what has been achieved, identify gaps and reaffirm the EU's global leadership in climate action. It will include keynote speeches from high-level speakers, followed by a roundtable where Members and the audience will be able to take the floor.

    The registration link is available here.

  2. AML - Scrutiny of delegated acts and implementing measures
    Members of the ECON and LIBE Committees held an exchange of views with Bruna Szego, Chair of the Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AMLA), on 2 December, from 10:00 to 11:30. The debate will provide an opportunity to discuss the new role of AMLA as the central authority in the EU framework for anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism.

    This exchange marked the beginning of the regular dialogues foreseen in the AMLA Regulation, ensuring structured cooperation between the Authority and the European Parliament.

    The discussion allowed Members to take a closer look at AMLA's priorities, its supervisory and coordinating tasks, and the way in which the Authority will strengthen the EU's capacity to prevent and combat money laundering and terrorist financing. It informed upcoming deliberations in the ECON and LIBE Committees on related legislative and oversight activities, highlighting the importance of effective implementation and consistent enforcement of the new regulatory framework.
