The European Parliament has adopted a decision concerning the scrutiny of the declarations of financial interests of Commissioners-designate.

The European Parliament decided to append the following interpretation to paragraph 1(a) of Annex XVI to the Rules of Procedure:

"Scrutiny of the declaration of financial interests of a Commissioner-designate by the committee responsible for legal affairs consists not only in verifying that the declaration has been duly completed but also in assessing whether a conflict of interests may be inferred from the content of the declaration. It is then for the committee responsible for the hearing to decide whether or not it requires further information from the Commissioner-designate."
