Assessing the impact of the GDPR in regards to national security and civilian rights in EU member states

About the committee

Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) is one of the European Parliament’s most influential committees, responsible for shaping EU policy on fundamental rights, rule of law, justice, and internal security. Its work covers issues such as data protection and privacy, migration and asylum, border management (including the Schengen Area), police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters, anti-terrorism legislation, and the protection of civil liberties across the Union. LIBE also plays a key role in monitoring whether Member States and EU institutions respect EU values, including democracy, human rights, and the rule of law, and it is deeply involved in high-stakes debates on surveillance, digital freedoms, discrimination, and the balance between security and individual rights. In practice, the committee drafts reports and amendments, negotiates compromises between political groups, and scrutinizes the Commission and EU agencies like Europol, Frontex, and the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights.

Coordinating a Unified European Approach to Energy Trade Diversification

About the committee

Committee on International Trade (INTA) is the European Parliament committee responsible for EU trade policy and the Union’s external economic relationships. INTA scrutinizes and shapes legislation related to trade, including rules on imports and exports, trade defense instruments (like anti-dumping measures), market access, customs cooperation, and trade aspects of intellectual property and services. One of its most important powers is its role in reviewing and approving major EU trade agreements, because many international trade deals require Parliament’s consent, INTA is a key gatekeeper in deciding whether agreements can enter into force. The committee also examines whether EU trade policy aligns with broader objectives such as sustainable development, labor rights, environmental standards, and human rights, making it a central arena for debates about “values-based trade” versus competitiveness and economic security.

Strengthening EU Defence Capacities within the Readiness 2030 Framework

About the committee

The European Council is the EU’s highest-level political body, bringing together the Heads of State or Government of all Member States, along with its President and the President of the European Commission. Unlike the European Parliament, it does not pass laws; instead, it sets the overall political direction and priorities of the Union, especially in moments of crisis or on issues requiring strategic leadership. The European Council decides on major questions such as treaty changes, enlargement, high-level foreign policy direction, and broad economic governance, and it often breaks political deadlocks when EU institutions cannot reach agreement. It also appoints or proposes key leadership positions, including the President of the European Commission and the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. Its conclusions, agreed by consensus in most cases, carry huge political weight and effectively guide what the Commission proposes and what the Parliament and Council of the EU later negotiate in legislation.

Reforming EU treaties to regulate Article 122 emergency powers and improve crisis response

About the committee

The Committee on Constitutional Affairs (AFCO) is a specialized committee of the European Parliament responsible for safeguarding the democratic foundations and institutional functioning of the European Union. AFCO plays a crucial role in shaping the EU’s constitutional framework, overseeing treaty reforms, institutional balance, electoral procedures, and the protection of fundamental democratic principles across Member States. AFCO addresses issues related to the rule of law, separation of powers, and democratic accountability, ensuring that EU institutions operate transparently and effectively. The committee is also responsible for examining proposals on EU enlargement, evaluating accession processes, and ensuring candidate states meet democratic and constitutional criteria. Additionally, AFCO oversees matters concerning the European Citizens’ Initiative, electoral reforms, and the strengthening of citizens’ participation in EU decision-making.

The Kinsa Case (2025) - O.B. v Italian Republic

About the committee

The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) is the highest judicial authority of the European Union. Established under the EU Treaties, it ensures that EU law is interpreted and applied uniformly across all Member States and safeguards supremacy of EU law. The Court deals with cases involving EU institutions, Member States, companies, and individuals. One of its most important functions is issuing preliminary rulings, where national courts ask the CJEU to clarify how EU law should be understood or applied in specific situations. Although the CJEU does not create EU legislation or enforce it directly, its judgments are binding and have a major influence on how EU law develops in practice. Through its case law, the Court has shaped key principles such as the supremacy and direct effect of EU law, which are essential to the functioning of the Union. It operates independently from political influence as it only relies its basis on judicial factors, legal principles as well as treaty interpretation.
