This week, the Ecofin Council is expected to approve conclusions on climate finance and on the revision of the EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes; home affairs ministers aim to reach agreement on a legislative proposal to combat child sexual abuse; MEPs in plenary will hold a debate on the 7 October terrorist attack by Hamas on Israel, discuss the escalating violence in the Middle East and the situation in Lebanon, and debate the crisis in the EU’s automotive industry and border controls: and it’s European Week of Regions and Cities.
