Mission to Latvia
Αποστολές
BUDG

The Committee on Budgets traveled to Latvia in order to learn more about the budgetary implications of enhancing the EU preparedness, focusing in particular on defence spending, in relation to recent geopolitical shifts. As conflicts do 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 were Hélder Sousa Silva (head of the mission, EPP), Andrzej Halicki (EPP), Jean-Marc Germain (S&D), Nils Ušakovs (S&D), Julien Sanchez (PfE), Tobiasz Bocheński (ECR) and Alexander Jungbluth (ESN). Mr Roberts Zile (ECR) accompanied the mission.
