Vote of no confidence for the European Commission. Parliament will vote on July 10

The European Parliament will vote on the application for a vote of no confidence for the European Commission, headed by Ursula von der Leyen – the source in PAP on Wednesday was provided in PAP. Voting on this matter will take place on Thursday, July 10. The application was prepared by the ECR fraction, to which PiS belongs.

“The chairwoman of the EP Robert Metsola informed the group leaders in the EP that the application for a vote of no confidence in the committee was submitted and that the relevant formal requirements were met” – the source in the European Parliament gave PAP on Wednesday.

The signatures for the vote of no confidence in the EC were collected by Romanian MEPs from the far -right AUR party, who belong to the fraction of European conservatives and reformers (EKR). According to PAP information, most PiS MEPs signed the application. Signatures were also made by representatives of other political groups at the EP, including the European People's Party and the far -right patriots for Europe, as well as several independent Euro Parliamentaries. Against the conclusion – according to PAP information – were MEPs from the Italian party, the Italians, which also belongs to the EKR.

The conclusion is motivated, among others The ongoing investigation of the European Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) regarding the participation of the EC in the process of purchasing Covid-19 vaccines, allegations of related irregularities and allegations of improper management of funds as part of the after-the-enormous Reconstruction Fund. Applicants also accuse the commission of for interference in the presidential election in Romania.

The application for a vote of no confidence in the EC must be submitted by at least one tenth MEPs. The EP currently has 720 deputies, so you need a minimum of 72 signatures. Applicants met this requirement.

Voting on the conclusion of distrust must also be preceded by a debate. The source of PAP said that it would take place on Monday, July 7.

At least two -thirds of voted votes are needed to accept a vote of no confidence.

In the event of a vote of no confidence in the EC, as a whole, he must resign.

Until now, no vote of no confidence has been accepted in the history of PE. As PAP donated several sources in parliament, taking into account parliamentary arithmetic in the current chamber, the conclusion will probably be rejected on Thursday.
