A delegation of AFET Members travelled to Banjul in The Gambia and to Dakar in Senegal from 3 to 7 April. The main goal of the mission was to contribute to further strengthening the partnerships with these countries. Members met with government and parliament officials as well as with representative of civil society to discuss global and regional security issues.
The visit to Senegal presented a timely opportunity to closely engage with a historical partner and symbol of stability in West Africa. The visit to the Gambia enabled MEPs to better understand the opportunities and shortcomings the Gambia faces in its democratic consolidation and reinforce the EU support for important reforms, as a prerequisite for the future development of the country.

A delegation of AFET Members will travel to Washington D.C. and Wisconsin, US from 15 to 19 May. The main goal of the mission will be to establish and deepen the political dialogue with the US administration and meet counterparts in Congress, following the US mid-term elections.
Members will hold meetings with Government and Congress representatives in Washington D.C. The visit to Wisconsin, a swing and bellwether State, will provide AFET members with an in-depth look into grass-roots America from a transatlantic perspective. On top of meeting the political authorities and institutions of the State of Wisconsin, Members will also meet management and students form the Jean Monnet Programme on European and Global studies at the University of Madison - Wisconsin.

As the first EU act specifically regulating the EU's CRM supply, the proposed initiative aims to address an area previously identified as one of the EU's strategic dependencies. Following a clear problem description, the IA presents three (partially overlapping) policy options and a thorough analysis of their possible impacts, with a clear focus on economic impacts. The identification of the preferred policy option appears justified. The predominantly qualitative assessment draws merely on desk research and stakeholder input. In this respect, the IA admits to having 'significant data gaps' and a 'limited' evidence base, owing in part to 'the lack of a supporting study'. With regard to stakeholder input, the IA does not explain why the public consultation was open for only 8 weeks (instead of the default 12). It is notable that the proposed regulation deviates somewhat in scope from the IA: it adds a further specific objective – namely to diversify CRM imports in order to reduce strategic dependencies – and provides for a few measures that were either not assessed at all in the IA, or which were outside the preferred policy option.

On 27 April, Members of the Committees on Foreign Affairs and Development will hold an exchange of views on the situation in Sudan. Following the dramatic developments in the past days, Members will debate with a representative from the European External Action Service the current security and humanitarian situation in the country.
The violence brought by the fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces has hit hard the Sudanese citizens. The EU calls for the respect of international humanitarian law, the cessation of all hostilities and reaching an agreement that would bring peace and stability.
