Foreign Interference in All Democratic Processes in the EU (INGE Report — A9-0022/2022)

The first report of the European Parliament's Special Committee on Foreign Interference in Democratic Processes (INGE) is the most comprehensive mapping of foreign interference threats to EU democratic institutions produced by any EU body. Rapporteur Sandra Kalniete's report covers the full spectrum of interference vectors — disinformation, cyber operations, electoral manipulation, financing of political parties, and the capture of economic assets — and assesses EU vulnerabilities across all member states.

The INGE report is significant not just for its content but for its political weight: as a European Parliament committee report, it carries democratic legitimacy and creates pressure for legislative and institutional response. The report's recommendations — on funding transparency, platform regulation, strategic communications capacity, and the protection of democratic institutions — shaped the legislative agenda that followed. For practitioners working on foreign interference policy, the INGE report provides the most authoritative public assessment of the threat landscape as understood by EU democratic institutions.
