Scrutiny Of Nominees For EU Commissioner

EDM number 254 in 2014-15, proposed by Michael Connarty on 14/07/2014.
Categorised under the topics of EU institutions and European Commission.

That this House notes that the next EU Commissioner to be nominated by the UK will have an important role, not only in the particular policy area where they will have the lead, but also more generally in promoting the UK's national interest and vision for reform in Europe; further notes that Parliament currently has not had the opportunity to scrutinise the Government's candidate before their nomination is confirmed; and calls on the Government to ensure that such pre-appointment scrutiny takes place before the nomination of the next EU Commissioner by the UK.

This motion has been signed by a total of 23 MPs.
