The Committee on Budgets will travel to Latvia from 14 to 16 April 2025. The main objective of this mission is to earn more about the budgetary implications of enhancing the EU preparedness, focusing in particular on defence spending, in relation to recent geopolitical shifts. As conflicts not only materialise in conventional forms but also through hybrid threats, significant financial resources can be required not only as defence spending but also across various domains.
The BUDG Members participating are Giuseppe Lupo (head of the mission, S&D), Andrzej Halicki (EPP), Hélder Sousa Silva (EPP), Jean-Marc Germain (S&D), Nils Ušakovs (S&D), Julien Sanchez (PfE), Tobiasz Bocheński (ECR) and Alexander Jungluth (ESN).
