      A long-time member of the Budget Committee and its Sub-Committee on European Affairs, Barnett served as her parliamentary group's rapporteur on the budget of the Federal Foreign Office, including Germany’s humanitarian aid. In this capacity, she also belonged to the SPD working group on the national budget. From 2018, she chaired the Sub-Committee on European Affairs. In 2019, she also joined the Committee on Economic Affairs and Development.
