This is Ryan Maylach from the European Parliament Liaison Office in Washington, D.C.

Welcome to a special edition of our EU to campus podcast series.

In this episode, we are teaming up with our friends at the Europe Desk of Georgetown University

for an interview with European Parliament Vice President Roberta Metzola.

She speaks about her role in the European Parliament's investigation into alleged fundamental

rights violations by the EU's Frontex Border Management Agency.

This interview helps us understand better the European Union's balance of power and the

European Parliament's powers of scrutiny.

We hope you can find it useful.

Enjoy listening.

Hi, EuropeDest listeners. For this week's episode, we have partnered with the European Parliament Liaison Office

in Washington, D.C., to bring you a very special guest.

Before we get started, here's a message from the EPLO's director, Joe Dunn. I'm Joe Dunn, and I'm the

director of the European Parliament Office in Washington, D.C. We're in the business of connecting

the European Parliament and the US Congress, essentially on legislative and other issues,

all issues of transatlantic concern. And we also work with partners like you in

Georgetown University to raise awareness of what the European Parliament is doing. So we're very

happy to work with you on the Europe desk. We're really happy to connect you with the Vice President

of the European Parliament, Roberta Metzula, who can talk to you today about the

very important scrutiny work that's being done on Frontex.

Hello and welcome to the Europe Desk. My name is Jonas Jering at the BMW Center for German and

European Studies at Georgetown University.
