MEPs have elected their chairs and vice-chairs of the 20 standing committees and four sub-committees. Not all vice-chairs were appointed today (Tuesday 23 July), with some committees completing the election of their bureaus soon.
But up to now there are 14 Italians who have held an important position, with the representatives of Giorgia Meloni’s Brothers of Italy who, at least numerically, have had the lion’s share, with seven elected, even if the most prestigious positions have gone to the Democratic Party and also to the 5 Star Movement. Antonio Decaro of the PD was elected president of the Environment Commission, while the head of the M5S delegation, Pasquale Tridico, president of the subcommittee for fiscal issues.
Here are all the new vice-presidents and quaestors of the European Parliament
A committee’s bureau (the chair and up to four vice-chairs) is elected for a term of two and a half years. Committees consider legislative proposals, appoint negotiating teams to hold talks with EU ministers, adopt reports, organise hearings and monitor other EU institutions and bodies.
