European Parliament President Roberta Metsola will address journalists ahead of the State of the European Union plenary debate, the institution announced on Tuesday.
What Parliament is doing
The European Parliament said the press appearance will take place the morning before the plenary State of the European Union debate. The announcement described the event as a doorstep with EP President Roberta Metsola at 8.15. No further details about the content of the remarks or the exact location were provided in the notice.
Why it matters
The State of the European Union debate is a regular plenary event in which EU institutions and lawmakers discuss priorities and challenges facing the bloc. A pre-debate media briefing by the Parliament president sets out the parliament’s perspective heading into that session and gives journalists an opportunity to clarify points before the full debate begins.
What happens next
Following the doorstep at 8.15, the European Parliament will hold the State of the European Union plenary debate tomorrow morning as indicated by the press notice. The Parliament’s brief announcement did not specify any subsequent briefings or a schedule for the plenary interventions.
