"The purpose of this report, for which I voted, is to amend Rules 106 and 192, and Annex XVII of Parliament’s Rules of Procedure, covering the hearings of the Commissioners-designate. With these amendments to the Rules of Procedure, Parliament’s power over the selection of new European Commissioners is being increased, specifically by providing for the possibility, where necessary, of a second hearing for the Commissioners-designate, as well as giving the President the chance to request that the President-elect of the Commission inform Parliament about the allocation of portfolios in the College of Commissioners. This amendment will also make the process of selecting new Commissioners more transparent by stipulating that there will be a live audio-visual transmission of the hearings, thus enabling the European public to watch the hearings of the Commissioners-designate live. Finally, I would like to emphasise the recommendation made to the Commission to revise its Code of Conduct for Commissioners, and in particular the provisions thereof concerning declarations of financial interests by the Commissioners, with a view to achieving the highest standards of governance for the European Union."@en1
