31/05/2022 (Agence Europe) – MEPs of the European Parliament’s Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) appointed one of the 12 members of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) selection committee on Monday 30 May. However, this appointment has to be confirmed in plenary, probably in June. They chose Margreet Fröberg, a prosecutor in the Netherlands. This selection committee, appointed for 4 years, is used to draw up a list of candidates for the post of European Chief Prosecutor. The 12 members are appointed by the EU Council, except for one, who is appointed by the European Parliament. The committee, formed in 2018, is up for renewal this year. Therefore, the European Commission will soon submit a proposal for a EU Council decision. As for the current Chief Prosecutor, Laura Kövesi, her seven-year term does not end until 2026. (LM)
