Main parliamentary activities
Reports - as rapporteur
A rapporteur is appointed in the responsible parliamentary committee to draft a report on proposals of a legislative or budgetary nature, or other issues. In drafting their report, rapporteurs may consult with relevant experts and stakeholders. They are also responsible for the drafting of compromise amendments and negotiations with shadow rapporteurs. Reports adopted at committee level are then examined and voted on in plenary. Rule 55
Reports - as shadow rapporteur
Political groups designate a shadow rapporteur for each report in the responsible committee to follow progress and negotiate compromise texts with the rapporteur. Rule 215
Opinions - as shadow rapporteur
Political groups designate a shadow rapporteur for an opinion to follow progress and negotiate compromise texts with the rapporteur. Rule 215
Oral questions
Questions for oral answer with debate, addressed to the European Commission, the Council or the Vice-President of the Commission/High Representative of the Union can be tabled by a committee, a political group or at least 5% of Parliament’s members. Rule 136
Other parliamentary activities
Written explanations of vote
Members can submit a written explanation of their vote in plenary. Rule 194
In the report on the state of the debate on the future of Europe, I strongly support as much as possible moving towards qualified majority voting in the Council to avoid important initiatives getting blocked there. However, I voted against the Spitzenkandidat process to elect the president of the Commission. The current process of lifting forward one candidate per political group politicises the election process for this role without a legal basis in the Treaties. The president of the Commission should be put forward by the Member States and not by political groups. Furthermore, I do not support the principle of differentiated integration, although I understand it is a political reality that we have to deal with. One way forward is to focus on what we can do better together at EU level. Promise less and deliver more on key issues.
. ‒ I fully support Parliament’s power of scrutiny and oversight over the Commission’s work. However, I voted against the Spitzenkandidaten process to elect the President of the Commission. The current process of putting forward one candidate per political group is politicising the election of this role without a legal base in the Treaties. The President of the Commission should be put forward by the Member States and not by political groups.
I voted in favour of the EU Rights and Values programme that will give the possibility to continue funding of projects to prevent and combat violence against women and children, to increase citizens’ participation and will facilitate civil society in promoting fundamental rights, democracy and the rule of law. In times where populists and extreme forces are growing in Europe, I am proud that the European Parliament today took a strong stand to defend civil society, fundamental rights and the rule of law. I don’t support however the increase of the budget for this programme and hope that in the future negotiations with the Council, our institutions will reach an agreement based on a more realistic budget.
