Upcoming European Parliament Hearing on Spyware
by Brian Donnelly 06 May '26

06 May '26

Hi all, I am writing to make you all aware of an upcoming hearing in the European Parliament tomorrow (Thursday 7 May). The LIBE Committee will host an exchange of views <https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/LIBE-OJ-2026-05-06-1_EN.html> on EU Funding for Israeli Spyware Companies with interventions from Martin Schauer, Head of Unit of Compliance and Planning R4 DG CNECT and Gauthier Monjanel, Adviser to EIF Chief Executive, EIB Group. We plan to make some noise on this. Aljosa and Shubham are currently gauging interest in the Brussels press. We will record and release a quick video for social media after the exchange of views to summarise, react and tie it to our KISS campaign demands, as well as working on some short video products taken from the hearing which we can release on our socials in the coming weeks. *We would love your support in helping us to amplify this video* once it is released (I will be in touch after). If you are interested in adapting our materials to your own audience and context, please get in touch with me and we can look for a solution. All the best, -- Brian Donnelly (he/him) Campaigns Officer EDRi working days are Monday-Thursday www.edri.org <https://www.edri.org> | EDRi logo
