EU budget negotiations, a vote on a climate law and Covid-19 vaccines are on Parliament’s agenda this week. Negotiations on the EU’s long-term budget and recovery fund between the Parliament, Commission and Council will continue on Monday and Friday (11 September).

On Friday, the environment and public health committee will vote on proposals to make the EU climate-neutral by 2050 with a legally binding law and setting an interim target for 2030. On Monday (7 September), the committee debated how to ensure equitable access to affordable and safe COVID-19 vaccines for everyone who needs them.

Also on Monday, the regional development committee voted on the proposed REACT-EU package. The package includes €55 billion of additional funds to be made available to EU countries. The money should provide assistance for dealing with the impact of the crisis and preparing a green, digital and resilient recovery of the economy. On the same day, the human rights subcommittee debated the situation in Belarus following the disputed presidential elections on 9 August.
