Ce qu'il fait
Joint lead committee with IMCO on the AI Act. Described by its chair as 'the leading body of the European Parliament for shaping and overseeing EU legislation and policies that ensure EU citizens enjoy an area of freedom, security, and justice'. Responsibilities include rule of law, fundamental rights, anti-discrimination, data protection and privacy, asylum and migration, organised crime and citizen security. On AI it drove the prohibited-practices list, biometric surveillance restrictions and fundamental-rights impact assessments. Legislative co-decision power; no investigative or enforcement power over private parties.
Ses responsabilités en matière d'IA
Co-lead committee on the AI Act. LIBE owns the fundamental-rights half: prohibited practices (Article 5), biometric identification, emotion recognition, predictive policing, AI in migration and law enforcement, and the interaction with GDPR. Joint-lead with IMCO on the Digital Omnibus on AI and co-owner of the AI Act Working Group.
Ses pouvoirs

Évaluation franche
Same structural reality as IMCO: no public evidence call, no published secretariat address, influence via named rapporteurs and shadow rapporteurs during the amendment window. LIBE is however the most receptive committee to civil-society and academic input on AI, and its members' offices routinely cite NGO analyses in amendments — several AI Act prohibitions trace directly to civil-society drafting. The practical sequence is: identify the shadow rapporteur from the political group closest to your position, contact their adviser, supply drafted amendment text rather than a position paper. LIBE's frame is fundamental rights and surveillance, not catastrophic risk.
Travaux en cours
AI Act implementation and enforcement scrutiny through the joint IMCO-LIBE Working Group; follow-through on the Digital Omnibus on AI (2025/0359(COD)) adopted 16 June 2026, which delayed high-risk standards and added a ban on non-consensual intimate ('nudifier') image generation.
Voie d'accès publique
Direct correspondence with the rapporteur/shadows on a file; PETI petition; LIBE secretariat at libe-secretariat@europarl.europa.eu. LIBE also holds public hearings where civil-society organisations are routinely invited.
Règles de format
No formal limits. Civil-society submissions to LIBE are conventionally short position papers with specific article-by-article amendment language. Not published by the Parliament unless the committee chooses to.
Personnes clés
Vice-Chairs: Marina Kaljurand (S&D, EE); Charlie Weimers (ECR, SE); Alessandro Zan (S&D, IT); Estrella Galán (The Left, ES). The decisive AI seat is Michael McNamara (Renew, Ireland) — LIBE co-chair of the AI Act Working Group AND LIBE rapporteur on the Digital Omnibus on AI.
Notes
LIBE is also the committee for GDPR and law-enforcement AI, so biometric and predictive-policing concerns belong here rather than IMCO.
