Rapha\u00ebl Glucksmann<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(S&D, FR) said:<\/strong>\u201cOur democracies are under continuous attack and we have to defend them against ever more forceful and sophisticated foreign interference. The mission of this special committee is to evaluate the implementation of the recommendations of its predecessor, continue to analyse the threats and ensure that the 2024 European elections are shielded from these types of attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Protecting democracy<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The \u201cSpecial Committee on Foreign Interference in all Democratic Processes in the European Union, including Disinformation II\u201d, or INGE 2 , builds and follows up on the work done by its homonymous predecessor, which ended its work on 23 March. It will also screen existing and planned EU legislation in a range of areas for loopholes that could be exploited by third countries for malicious purposes.<\/p>\n

The\u00a033-member<\/a>\u00a0committee will summarise its findings in a report to be adopted by the end of its\u00a0one-year mandate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Vice-chairs<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The committee also elected its vice-chairs, who, together with the chair, make up the bureau of the committee.<\/p>\n
