Today marks the start of the European Parliament’s plenary session in Strasbourg!
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will deliver the annual State of the Union address – a tradition that began in 2010, which strengthens the Commission’s accountability to Parliament and brings the EU’s priorities closer to citizens.
The President of Moldova will also be a special guest at the session.
In addition, we will vote, among other things, on the mid-term budget review and an assessment of the Commission’s priorities; since December 2024, the Commission has already announced approximately 250 initiatives – half of which concern prosperity and competitiveness.
It promises to be an intense and inspiring week for Europe.
