European Parliament procedure 2025/2179(INI) (INI, 10th term, committee AFET). Stage: None. 633 committee amendments tabled by 33 Members between 2026-03-05 and 2026-03-05.

## What the amendments focus on

This own-initiative procedure concerns countering transnational repression to protect Europe's sovereignty and democratic values, referencing Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union. The amendments describe transnational repression as a growing global phenomenon, cite cases including the 2006 poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in London, an alleged plot against Vladimir Osechkin behind French arrests in October 2025, and Iranian authorities targeting Christian converts. They call on the Commission, EEAS, Europol and Interpol to collect data, urge enforcement of the Digital Services Act, address Pegasus spyware, FATF AML/CFT misuse and account freezes, the EU Whistleblower Directive and Julian Assange, and use of the EU Global Human Rights Sanctions Regime.
