On 14 July, AFET will debate external policy priorities with Anže Logar, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia. The Minister and MEPs will discuss the priorities in relation to foreign policy, as Slovenia takes over the rotating presidency of the Council in a very important moment for the European Union.
During this Presidency, the EU-UK relations will continue to be high on the agenda, next to transatlantic relations as well as the Neighbourhood, with a focus on Western Balkans. At the same time the EU will continue the fight with the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects not only in the Member States, but also in cooperation with and providing assistance to its external partners.

"In the context of the exponential growth of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the President of the European Parliament has announced a number of measures to contain the spread of epidemic and to safeguard Parliament's core activities.

The current precautionary measures adopted by the European Parliament to contain the spread of COVID-19 do not affect work on legislative priorities. Core activities are reduced, but maintained to ensure that the institution's legislative, budgetary, scrutiny functions are maintained.

The meetings will be with remote participation for Members (being able to view and listen to proceedings, ask for the floor and intervene in the meeting). Other participants are invited to follow the meeting through webstreaming.

Following these decisions, the next ordinary AFET Committee meetings will take place on 14-15 July (via videoconference).
