The ING2 Special Committee will hold a hearing on Thursday 27 October from 14.30 to 16.30 on "Russian interference in the European Union: the distinct cases of Hungary and Spain". Members will exchange views with experts about interference from Russia in the European Union, looking specifically at two cases: Hungary and Spain.
Hungary and Spain have experienced situations where the Kremlin attempted to influence democratic processes through a coordinated approach, making use of different tools, aiming at influencing the public opinion and sowing chaos by fanning the flames of separatism. The hearing will dive deeper in the Kremlin's tactics and its use of proxies within the EU. Invited experts are:

On 8 November 2022, the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Committee on International Trade will hold a hearing on Foreign policy and trade aspects of the EU's strategic autonomy.
Susi Dennison, European Council on Foreign Relations, and Hugo Meijer, Sciences Po, Center for International Studies, will explore how the EU can best develop its sovereignty to promote and defend its values and strengthen multilateralism globally in the context of geopolitical shifts (AFET panel). Professor Hoekman, Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies, and Professor Clausen, University of Miami School of Law, will then examine different paradigms for working strategically with trade partners to improve EU's resilience and for ensuring that its economic and greater political goals are achieved and safeguarded from unfair trade practices ("open" strategic autonomy - INTA panel).
