From the Envoy in Strasbourg – The last day of the EU Parliament’s plenary session is the one that gives the green light to the work of the 20 parliamentary committees and four subcommittees of the 10th parliamentary term. With the approval this morning (July 19) to vote on the composition of their respective members — following Wednesday’s (July 17) vote on the numerical composition — the 720 MEPs are ready to begin their mandates on legislative dossiers in Brussels and Strasbourg. The only thing missing is the election of chairpersons and vice-chairpersons of committees and subcommittees, for which one will have to wait until Tuesday (July 23), with the decision expected in the EU Parliament between 9 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
Having formalized the division of single members of the national delegations among committees and subcommittees in the EU Parliament–between full and substitutes (the complete list) — the eight parliamentary groups are now finalizing the lists of their respective coordinators. There are starting to be the first official confirmations, with notable appointments for some of the 76 elected Italian MEPs. These include the outgoing head of the Democratic Party delegation, Brando Benifei, who will be the coordinator of the International Trade (INTA) committee for the group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats (S&D). Fellow party member and former mayor of Florence, Dario Nardella, has been chosen as the new S&D coordinator for the Agriculture and Rural Development (AGRI) committee. Also in the AGRI committee, however, Herbert Dorfmann (Südtiroler Volkspartei) will be the coordinator of the European People’s Party group.
