MEPs have another busy week ahead of them.

On Monday members of Parliament's civil liberties committee vote on a resolution on how to prevent the radicalisation and recruitment of young Europeans by terrorist organisations. Fighting radicalisation online and in prisons are important aspects of the resolution.

On the same day, the economic and monetary affairs committee debates the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) with ECB Supervisory Board Chair Danièle Nouy. The aim of the SSM is to ensure financial stability and the safety of the European banking system.

The EU's strategy towards Iran following the nuclear deal will be discussed in a public hearing with experts organised by the foreign affairs committee on Monday.

A parliamentary delegation is in Ukraine from this Thursday to observe local elections which will be held on 25 October throughout the country, except in the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk.

Parliament's political groups also prepare this week for the plenary session in Strasbourg on 26-29 October.
