MEPs discuss with Commission and Council representatives whether the EU’s sanctions against Russia are working, and how to prevent their circumvention by Moscow. Following Russia's illegal and unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the European Union swiftly adopted unprecedentedly tough sanctions against Moscow. There have since been 11 sanctions packages in total, Moscow has however found ways to bypass these measures, including through loopholes in trade restrictions and with the help of third-country intermediaries. Closing statements by Didier REYNDERS, European Commissioner for Justice, and Commissioner for Competition (ad interim) and Pascual NAVARRO RÍOS, Spanish Secretary of State for the European Union.

The European Parliament debates on the current situation in Egypt, and especially, on the sentencing of Hisham Kassem. Kassem is a journalist and dissident who was expected to run in the presidential elections, but he was sentenced to six months in prison, in a trial marred by breaches of fair trial standards. Kassem´s sentence is part of a wave of repression ahead of the elections and is another example of the campaign to silence critics and punish dissent in Egypt.
