Breakfast debate with Ladies in White

This year promises to be another crucial one. The European Parliament will not only be dealing with reforms to help kick-start the economy, but also negotiate with the member states the EU's long-term budget, which will determine what direction it will take until 2020 as well as decide on various legislative proposals that will make a difference to the everyday life of Europeans: from improving passenger rights, to CO2 limits for cars and genetically modified food.
