On 27 November 2023, the Committee on Foreign Affairs will hold a hearing on “EU sanctions regime - implementation, expansion, efficiency and deterring impact”. Sanctions have become a prominent foreign policy tool for both governments and international organisations, including the EU.
The efficiency of sanctions and their aptness to achieve the purported goal to change the behaviour of the addressees is, however, often put into question. The hearing will allow MEPs to discuss with experts and assess the EU sanction regimes currently in place with a view to their improvement and strengthening. A study on the 'Implementation and monitoring of EU sanctions regimes' will also be presented on this occasion.

On 28 November 2023 (11.15-12.00), the Committee on Foreign Affairs will hold a presentation of a study on the EU's emerging policy for Antarctica. The paper argues in favour of a more coherent EU-wide policy for Antarctica, taking into account geopolitics, ocean conservation, and environmental protection. As shifting dynamics transform Antarctica’s status as a pole of peace, the EU needs to step up its role in addressing the challenges posed to the Antarctic Treaty System.
