Part 5 of 9: EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Removed:EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Removed:Each year, the European Parliament adopts three annual reports on the EU’s foreign, security and defence, and human rights policies.
Removed:The three reports are on:
Removed:• the implementation of the Common Foreign and Security Policy - annual report 2024 (based on the report of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Policy to the European Parliament on the Common Foreign and Security Policy) - competence of the AFET Committee,
Removed:• Human Rights and Democracy in the world and the European Union’s policy on the matter - annual report 2024 (based on the EU Annual report on Human Rights and Democracy in the World) - competence of the DROI Subcommittee, and
Removed:• the implementation of the Common Security and Defence Policy - annual report 2024 (based on the report of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Policy to the European Parliament on the Common Foreign and Security Policy) - competence of the SEDE Subcommittee.
Removed:These reports monitor and assess the implementation of the Common Foreign and Security Policy, including the EU policy on Human Rights and the Common Security and Defence Policy. They are a key component of the European Parliament’s contribution to EU foreign policy making, most notably in regard to the strengthened right of scrutiny conferred to the European Parliament by the Treaty of Lisbon. It is essential that the European Parliament responds to the annual reports issued by other institutions as soon as they are published.
