My policy work focuses on the areas of my main committees: industry, research, energy and trade. When a new law is proposed to the European Parliament, the committee of MEPs responsible for that policy area considers the proposal and works on any amendments it thinks are necessary. All MEPs can then debate and vote on these amendments.
