The European Parliament will hold a special plenary session on Wednesday 7 April to discuss the results of the March jobs and growth summit with European Council President Herman Van Rompuy. The 25-26 March summit was the first meeting of heads of state and government chaired by Mr Van Rompuy since he took up his post in December.

Likely issues to come under the spotlight include key targets in the EU's strategy for jobs and growth - known as Europe 2020, notably 75% employment, better conditions for research and development and the reduction of greenhouse gases, as well as the way ahead on climate change in the wake of the Copenhagen meeting.

European Commission President José Manuel Barroso will also be in the Brussels plenary to field questions from MEPs.
