As a result of Qatargate, INGE 2 becomes the ‘special committee on foreign interference in all democratic processes in the European Union, including disinformation, and on strengthening integrity, transparency and accountability in the European Parliament’.
It will now also “identify shortcomings in the European Parliament’s rules on transparency, integrity, accountability and anti-corruption, and consider further measures in the medium and long term”. It should make recommendations for reform on the basis of European Parliament resolutions and best practice in other parliaments and institutions, in close cooperation with the Committees on Constitutional Affairs and Foreign Affairs.
A report should be presented for adoption in plenary “no later than the July 2023 part-session”.
The European Parliament rejected the Greens/EFA amendment to increase the number of members of INGE 2 from 33 to 40. (Original version in French by Camille-Cerise Gessant)
