    Conflicts of Interest

    The European Parliament has today approved by a large majority the report by Greens/EFA MEP Pascal Durand on the declarations of interests of European Commissioners. The report is a reaction to multiple ethics scandals in the European Commission, which the Parliament has so far had little powers to uncover or prevent.

    European Parliament adopts new measures to control conflicts of interest in the European Commission

    European Parliament moves forward on transparency of decision-making and impact of lobbyists
