Committee on Constitutional Affairs (AFCO I)
Balancing the Unity: In 2021, the Polish Constitutional Court ruled that the Treaty on European Union was incompatible with their constitution. In the meantime, the EU is faced with increasing foreign pressure from countries such as Russia or the United States. What measures can the EU and its Member States take to improve unity and maintain the rule of law across the Union?
Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE)
Who’s the owner?: With the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) use, there remain very few clear guidelines regarding the legal ownership of materials generated by AI. After the AI Act, what measures can the EU adopt to ensure the safe and regulated use of AI-generated content, while also establishing specific rules on its copyright status?
Chairperson: Elisabetta Berrone (IT)
Chairperson: Mariela Rangelova (BG)
Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE)
Balancing Responsibilities: Spain, Italy and France receive nearly half of all EU asylum applications, while several Member States adopt restrictive policies, fueling political tensions. How should the EU and its Member States reform the asylum system to ensure a fairer distribution of responsibility among Member States, while balancing national capacities with the Union’s commitment to solidarity and human rights?
Committee on Constitutional Affairs (AFCO II)
United but Distrusted: Recent data shows that only 47% of EU citizens believe their voice matters in the Union. This lack of confidence fuels Eurosceptic parties which could weaken the Union’s legitimacy. What measures can the EU take to counter the rise of Eurosceptic narratives by rebuilding citizens’ trust and ensuring that European democracy feels both accessible and representative to all?
Chairperson: Nadir Luijten (NL)
Chairperson: Jan Havel (CZ)
Committee on Foreign Affairs (AFET)
Unity is Strength: The foreign policy of the EU is known as a ‘special competence’, meaning that Member States are responsible for both their own foreign policy and their common one through the European Council. Given the contrasting foreign policy positions of many, how can the EU and its Member States find new mechanisms to build a united European voice?
Committee on Security and Defence (SEDE)
Dual Benefit or Dual Detriment: With the proliferation of drones as a prime example, many items can serve both civilian and military purposes, regulated under the EU’s Dual-Use Regulation. However, differences in Member States’ interpretations undermines both European competitiveness and collective security. How can the EU coordinate Member States in creating a balanced stance on the export of dual-use technologies?
Chairperson: Tina Wu (CZ)
Chairperson: Adam Hadžić (CZ)
Committee on the European Democracy Shield (EUDS)
Firewall to Prague: Major cyberattacks have recently targeted Czechia, including campaigns that are purportedly connected to China and target the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. How can the EU improve digital defence cooperation among its Member States while striking a balance between the Common Security and Defence Policy and national security requirements?
Committee on Public Health/Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety (SANT/ENVI)
Stop using!: Drug use remains a major social and public health challenge in the EU, with rising consumption of substances such as cocaine, cannabis, and MDMA. As the EU’s Drug Strategy concludes in 2025, what measures should the EU and its Member States adopt to safeguard citizens and address the growing harms of drug abuse?
Chairperson: Ellie Agrolampou (GR)
Chairperson: Pelin Kubra Parlak (TR)
Committee on Regional Development (REGI)
Digital Balance: According to a 2018 study of the University of Hradec Kralove, 76% of the general Czech population use the Internet regularly. However, it falls to 33% for seniors aged 65 to 74 years old. Knowing the increased use of the Internet for administrative procedures, what measures can the EU and its Member States take to reduce the impact of the digital divide?
