In the European Parliament, Carême serves on the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs. He was his parliamentary group's shadow rapporteur on a non-binding 2021 motion in support of using “low-carbon hydrogen” made from fossil gas as a bridge towards 100% renewable production.[7]
In addition to his committee assignments, Carême is part of the parliament's delegation for relations with South Africa.[8]
