The S&D Group is organising a socialist preparatory meeting prior to the upcoming LXV COSAC meeting on the 31 May. (Conference of Parliamentary Committees for Union Affairs of Parliaments of the European Union).

We will be joined by national and European members of Parliament. Key topics under discussion include the review of the Portuguese Presidency, Social Europe, the implementation of the national recovery and resilience plans, and the Conference on the Future of Europe.

The cooperation between national and European parliamentarians from our political family is essential, and will be even more important in the upcoming months, with the Conference on the future of Europe.
