MEPs to assess effectiveness of EU sanctions on Russia
At 11.00, MEPs will vote on a resolution on whether the EU’s sanctions against Russia are working and how to prevent Moscow from circumventing them. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the EU has adopted 11 sanctions packages in total, targeting key sectors of the Russian economy and political elites. Moscow has, however, found ways to bypass these measures, including through loopholes in trade restrictions and with the help of third-country intermediaries.

Data Act: Final vote on new rules on fair access and use of industrial data
The “Data Act”, already agreed informally between MEPs and Council, aims to stimulate innovation by eliminating barriers to data access. It establishes rules governing the sharing of data generated through the use of connected products or related services (e.g. the Internet of Things, industrial machinery) and will contribute to the development of new services, particularly in artificial intelligence, where vast amounts of data are required for algorithm training.
