Ihe Commission will submit a concrete project for an independent body responsible for ethics within the EU institutions as soon as possible, announced the European Commissioner in charge of Values, the Czech Vera Jourova, who is leading the file.
The project is not new: it was planned by the von der Leyen Commission as soon as it was enthroned in 2019. But it was slow to materialize, encountering certain resistance. “Everyone is asking for it today! “, notes Jourova, while in two years of consultations, only the Committee of the Regions and the Economic and Social Committee had shown takers. “We are trying again. Of course, Qatargate helps… We will see, at the end of March, what the response of the institutions will be”, indicated the commissioner, during a meeting with some European journalists, including The evening. Contacts with other institutions are ongoing.
