Within the European Parliament, he works primarily on three committees:

as a member of the Committee on International Trade (INTA)

On the Committee on International Trade, he is rapporteur on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the council on foreign subsidies distorting the internal market. The report, which was published on 28 April 2022, provides for an instrument to counter foreign companies benefiting from domestic subsidies in amounts that prevent competition by European companies.
