On 24 January, AFET and SEDE will hold a joint exchange of views with Ambassador Rafael Mariano Grossi, Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, the IAEA has been working tirelessly to ensure the safety and security of Ukrainian nuclear facilities.
The debate will focus on negotiations launched by the IAEA with Ukraine and Russia with a view to establishing a safe zone around Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Station, as well as other measures taken by the IAEA to prevent nuclear accidents on all Ukrainian nuclear sites. Members will also discuss other issues of concern, in particular Iran's flagrant violations of its international nuclear non-proliferation obligations, as well as the nuclear programme of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

On 26 January a joint hearing on "Recent Cases of Foreign Interference in the European Parliament - Allegations of Corruption" will take place from 14.00 to 17.00. It will be organised by the Special Committee on Foreign Interference (ING2), jointly with the Committee on Foreign Affairs (AFET) and the Subcommittee on Security and Defence (SEDE).
The hearing will analyse the practices and strategies used by a number of third countries to interfere in the EU democratic functioning through illegal actions such as corruption. These actions represent a direct attack against the European Parliament and European democracy. They also show the need to reinforce transparency and accountability within the EU institutions. Three experts will present their findings and respond to questions from the Members.

This hearing will be held in association with the Delegation for relations with the Arab Peninsula (DARP) and the Delegation for relations with Maghreb countries (DMAG).
