Info Members: How much time staff spend on these issues depends on what is happening at EU level on these topics. The Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 resulted in us spending more time dealing with trade issues than previously. The European Parliament elections in 2024 and the change in Commission may mean that we spend less time on 'new' policy developments in Brussels this year.
