1 The Week Ahead March 2018 Committee meetings, Brussels Gas supply from third countries. A law to enforce EU gas market rules (unbundling, independent supervision, etc.) on suppliers from non-eu countries will be voted by the Industry and Energy Committee. It would apply to all future gas pipelines to the EU from non-eu countries, e.g. Russia (including Nord Stream 2), Norway, Algeria, Libya, Tunisia and Morocco. Later in the day, the committee will debate latest developments on Russian gas supplies to the Ukraine with Commission Vice-President for the Energy Union Maroš Šefčovič. (Wednesday) Fair competition in air transport. The Transport and Tourism Committee will vote to step up EU measures to protect EU air carriers against unfair competition by non-eu countries. The regulation would give the EU Commission more effective tools for investigating alleged unfair practices, such as subsidies to third country carriers or discriminatory access conditions for EU ones, and propose countermeasures, including financial duties. (Tuesday) Protecting victims of terrorism. On the eve of the commemoration of the Brussels and London attacks of 22 March 2016 and 2017 respectively, the Special Committee on Terrorism will hold a public hearing to pay tribute to victims of terrorism and discuss how to ensure that their rights are properly protected in the EU. EP President Antonio Tajani will open the debate. A press point with the chair will take place at 18:00. (Wednesday) Drop in vaccination rates. The Environment and Public Health Committee will call for measures to address vaccine hesitancy in the EU, where growing numbers of people are choosing to delay or refuse vaccines.

Members of the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee will put questions to Elke König, chair of the Single Resolution Board (SRB), the European Banking Union's authority tasked with ensuring an orderly resolution of failing banks.
