Re EU ethics body: Commission’s proposal “unsatisfactory”
Plans far from Parliament’s vision
Body should be able to investigate
Call for Parliament to go further in revision of its rules
Allegations of corruption/interference show need for NGO transparency

📣More majority-based decision making in the EU.
The report by @giulianopisapia was adopted in #EPlenary today.
The proposals call for the activation of the “passerelle” clauses of the EU Treaties, pointing out:
➡️the “untapped potential” of EU founding documents

🐦🔗: https://n.respublicae.eu/EPInstitutional/status/1678751350954270720
Re ➡that Treaty revision is needed so that “passerelle” activation would not require unanimity
➡the need for gradual activation across applicable areas
However, MEPs rejected the call to use qualified majority voting for taxation-related rules and the EU’s long-term budget.
