On 7 September, the SEDE and EUDS Committees will hold a joint public hearing on the Challenges of the future information environment, with Members of the IMCO and LIBE Committees invited.

Artificial intelligence, synthetic media, algorithmic amplification and agentic systems are rapidly reshaping the information space, creating new opportunities for manipulation and interference, while authoritarian actors increasingly exploit these tools to run influence operations and erode democratic trust. The hearing will examine emerging vectors of interference and discuss how the EU and its partners can strengthen resilience and safeguard democratic values in an increasingly complex information environment.

Findings from the NATO Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence's project “NextGen Information Environment” will be presented.

Alignment with the European Union’s (EU) Common Foreign and Security Policy has become a central benchmark of enlargement countries’ strategic orientation and a key indicator of the enlargement process’s credibility. Under Chapter 31 and relevant association agreements, candidates are expected to align their foreign, security and defence policies progressively with those of the EU prior to accession. This requirement has gained renewed political importance following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which has heightened the role of sanctions, geopolitical positioning and foreign policy coherence within enlargement. However, past experience shows that formal pre-accession alignment does not always translate into post-accession cohesion, particularly where candidate countries maintain external dependencies or pursue hedging strategies. Current EU monitoring relies heavily on quantitative indicators, such as declaration alignment rates, which often fail to capture implementation and political intent. This study evaluates the existing methodology (2020–2025) and proposes a revised framework combining quantitative and qualitative indicators to provide a more accurate and policy-relevant assessment of Common Foreign and Security Policy alignment.
