Statement by Karima Delli, Chair of the European Parliament Committee on Transport and Tourism:

“Roberta Metsola, President of the European Parliament, has reaffirmed her willingness to do transparency on all the legislative files that may be under the influence of networks linked to foreign interests.

Following her words, in an email for internal use, I invited the TRAN Committee, which I chair, to make sure that this requirement of transparency on all the past legislative works and on current bilateral agreements is guaranteed.

The ongoing ratification procedure of the aviation agreement with Qatar does not make any exception. It is my duty to ensure that all the conditions of transparency will be brought together at the moment of the beginning of the procedure in the European Parliament.”
