The Security and Defense Subcommittee (SEDE) may not be upgraded to a full committee until September. This is according to Renew circles. Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann is set to become chairwoman after the FDP politician prevailed internally against Nathalie Loiseau from France. The defense politician had made her claim early on in the event of an upgrade, but alternatively showed interest in one of the vice-presidential positions in the EU Parliament.
