With a substantial agenda for the first session to be held this October, Members gather in plenary to debate – among other things – European Union growth and prosperity, the EU’s response to Russian violations of EU countries’ airspace, the situation in Gaza and rising antisemitism, and two motions of censure against the European Commission. Members are also scheduled to attend a ‘This is Europe‘ debate with the Prime Minister of Luxembourg, Luc Frieden on Tuesday, and. the Prime Minister of Greenland, Jens-Frederik Nielsen is due to make a formal address on Wednesday.

Following a debate on the EU’s common agricultural policy (CAP) on Tuesday, Members are expected to vote on amending the current rules on payments to farmers. The proposal aims at cutting red tape, one of the farming community’s key demands. Parliament’s Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development proposes the CAP simplification include more flexibility on environmental rules, easier access to crisis payments and increased support for small and medium-sized farms. The vote will set Parliament’s position for its negotiations with the Council.

On Wednesday, Members are set to vote on draft amending budget No 2/2025, updating the revenue side of the current year’s EU budget. A report from Parliament’s Committee on Budgets endorses the Council position on the Commission proposal to take revised revenue forecasts into account and notes the need for increased gross national income contributions from the Member States. The committee also reiterates that the EU must endeavour to find fresh funding streams for new EU policy priorities.

Many non-EU nationals can visit the Schengen area for 90 days without having to apply for a visa. To protect the system from abuse, the visa suspension mechanism allows the EU to temporarily end the visa exemption for citizens of certain countries for security reasons. A proposal to strengthen the EU visa suspension mechanism has been on the table since 2023, and Members are expected to return to the debate on Monday evening. Parliament is set to vote on a text agreed between Parliament’s Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs and the Council which emphasises the links between the EU’s external relations and the need to revise the visa suspension mechanism to cover, for instance, cases of state-sponsored instrumentalisation of migrants, investor citizenship schemes and human rights violations.

The Council and Commission are  scheduled to make statements on Tuesday afternoon on a recent joint communication, laying out the path for negotiations on a new strategic EU-India agenda, set for adoption at a bilateral summit in 2026. The debate is expected to cover progress on a free trade agreement, financial supervision arrangements – and not least in view of today’s difficult geopolitics – security and defence ties.

Members are scheduled to debate a provisional agreement reached by Parliament’s negotiators on a revision of the European Works Councils Directive on Wednesday. European Works Councils represent workers employed by multinationals operating in at least two EU countries. The revision of the legislation aims at strengthening the enforcement of transnational information and consultation rights, excluding trivial issues and including stronger provisions on gender balance. Parliament has succeeded in including rules to ensure penalties will be dissuasive, effective and proportionate.

The EU aims at reducing CO2 emissions from heavy-duty vehicles by 43 % by 2030, with higher targets to follow. However, as zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles remain expensive, EU law allows governments to encourage their use by granting reductions or exemptions to road charges for such vehicles. On Tuesday morning, Members are due to vote on extending the derogation for heavy-duty vehicles with zero emissions, to June 2031, under the procedure used for urgent matters.

On Tuesday morning, Members are set to debate a proposed revision to the legislation ensuring safety and environmental protection on the EU’s inland waterways. Parliament’s Committee on Transport and Tourism has reached an agreement with Council that the revision should establish a single digital information platform, ensure harmonised reporting, introduce a feedback mechanism and update privacy and security requirements. The committee would, however, prefer that the scope of the revision of harmonised river information services apply to waterways and ports that are part of a cross-border network.

Following a recommendation from Parliament’s Committee on Fisheries, Members are set to vote on Wednesday on granting Parliament’s consent for the conclusion of a new protocol covering the EU’s fisheries agreement with the Côte d’Ivoire. The protocol sets opportunities for EU vessels from Spain, France and Portugal to fish for tuna in Côte d’Ivoire’s waters, in exchange for a financial contribution to the country’s sustainable fisheries sector.
