Lyhyesti - Vote of investiture for the Commission - 21-11-2024

Wed, 20 Nov 2024 23:00:00 GMT

During the November III plenary session, the European �Ϸ��վ is expected to vote on the second von der Leyen Commission as a whole. This vote should be the penultimate step in the investiture process that began after the European �Ϸ��վ elections. If the Commission obtains �Ϸ��վ's consent – by a majority of the votes cast – the European Council will then appoint its members by qualified majority, allowing the new Commission to take up its duties for the expected starting date of 1 December 2024.

Lyhyesti - The Commission as 'caretaker administration' - 22-10-2024

Mon, 21 Oct 2024 22:00:00 GMT

The hearings of the Commissioners-designate before the European �Ϸ��վ's committees are scheduled to take place between 4 and 12 November 2024. Depending on the results of the hearings, the plenary vote on the entire Commission is likely to take place during the November plenary session (25-28 November) or the December session in Strasbourg. Before such a vote, President-elect Ursula von der Leyen will present the full college and its programme. Considering that the incumbent Commission was appointed until 31 October 2024, it is already certain that the new Commission will not be able to enter into office by the time the mandate of the current one ends. The outgoing Commission will thus remain in office until the formal appointment of its replacement, although questions arise as to its powers in that period.

Briefing - �Ϸ��վary confirmation hearings of the Commissioners-designate: An analysis of the portfolios of the new von der Leyen Commission - 17-10-2024

Thu, 17 Oct 2024 10:12:07 GMT

This compendium brings together a set of briefings prepared by the European �Ϸ��վary Research Service (EPRS) to guide Members of the European �Ϸ��վ through the parliamentary hearings of Commissioners-designate in early November 2024. These public confirmation hearings form the backdrop to �Ϸ��վ's confirmation vote on the College of Commissioners put forward by Ursula von der Leyen, following her re-election as Commission President by the European �Ϸ��վ in July 2024. In addition to an overview of the process, setting its historical and political context, this volume contains a briefing on each of the Commissioners-designate and their portfolios. Each of these briefings highlights some of the key issues and recent developments in the portfolio, as well as looking back on �Ϸ��վ's activity in the area in the last parliamentary term.

Briefing - Confirmation hearings of the Commissioners-designate: A decisive step in the investiture process - 13-09-2024

Fri, 13 Sep 2024 08:54:20 GMT

The confirmation hearings of the Commissioners-designate before the European �Ϸ��վ's committees play a vital role in informing �Ϸ��վ before it decides on the proposed composition of the College of Commissioners. Ahead of the autumn 2024 hearings, �Ϸ��վ has adapted the rules for the process, which will apply for the members of the second von der Leyen College. First, the Legal Affairs Committee scrutinises the declaration of interests of each Commissioner-designate. Second, each Commissioner-designate appears before the competent parliamentary committee or committees for a single confirmation hearing. In the past, the main criticism levelled at some of the Commissioners-designate has involved their having insufficient expertise in their respective portfolios, as well as the vagueness of their answers and their reluctance to make political commitments. The existence of possible conflicts of interest in relation to the assigned portfolio and concerns regarding the integrity of the candidate have influenced the dynamics of more recent hearings. Since the 2004 investiture, �Ϸ��վ has used its role in appointing the Commission to replace certain controversial candidates and force adjustments to certain portfolios, although according to the Treaties �Ϸ��վ can only reject or accept the College as a whole. While some experts have advised against the excessive politicisation of the confirmation hearings, others have welcomed the increased accountability of the Commission to �Ϸ��վ, and have praised the deepening of the political link between the two institutions as a step towards further democratisation of the EU decision-making process. Confirmation hearings have become critical for �Ϸ��վ to hold the Commission accountable, and have gained prominence as a tool for �Ϸ��վ to take a greater role in EU agenda-setting. This is a further updated version of a September 2019 briefing by Maria Diaz Crego, itself an update of a 2014 briefing by Eva-Maria Poptcheva.

Selvitys - Committees of inquiry in the European �Ϸ��վ - 26-05-2023

Thu, 25 May 2023 22:00:00 GMT

�Ϸ��վ has been trying to strengthen its powers to conduct in-depth investigations into contraventions or maladministration in the implementation of European Union law since 2012, but has so far failed to gain the consent of the Commission or the Council for the modification of the legal framework applicable to its committees of inquiry. These powers were also discussed as part of the Conference on the Future of Europe. This paper updates a 2021 EPRS publication on the European �Ϸ��վ's committees of inquiry and special committees. It offers an overview of the legal framework currently applicable to the �Ϸ��վ's committees of inquiry and gives an insight into the proposal put forward by �Ϸ��վ in 2012 to modify that legal framework, and the subsequent negotiations with the other institutions. It presents the different types of inquiry that can be dealt with by �Ϸ��վ's inquiry committees, the investigative powers granted to them, and the types of inquiry that can be dealt with by special and standing committees of the European �Ϸ��վ.
