Under Rule 3(2), until such time as her credentials had been verified or a ruling had been given on any dispute, and provided that she had previously made a written declaration stating that she did not hold any office incompatible with that of Member of the European Parliament, Minodora Cliveti would take her seat in Parliament and on its bodies and would enjoy all the rights attaching thereto.

Announcement by the President

Finalisation of Procedure 2012/0802 NLE - appointment of 7 Members on the Management Board of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)

Finalisation of Procedure 2012/0802 NLE - appointment of 7 Members on the Management Board of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)

The President made the following announcement to Parliament.

‘By letter of 27 February 2012, the Council of the European Union consulted the European Parliament on a list of 14 candidates to fill 7 vacancies on the Management Board of EFSA. This referral was announced in plenary on 13 March 2012.

'In accordance with Article 25(1) of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002, the members of the Authority's Management Board shall be appointed by the Council, chosen from a list of candidates drawn up by the Commission and after having obtained the views of the European Parliament. Parliament has to make its views available to the Council within 3 months from referral, i.e. until 27 May 2012 (1).

'I would like to inform you that at its meeting of 19 April 2012 and on the basis of a recommendation from the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, the Conference of Presidents endorsed the following six candidates (in alphabetical order) from the overall shortlist for the vacant posts in question:

'In approving this list of candidates (Parliament endorses deliberately only six candidates, where as the number of vacancies to be filled is seven), the Conference of Presidents also noted that the responsible committee had expressed regret that no potential representative of small and medium-sized enterprises' interests had been put forward and that the shortlist presented only a restricted choice of candidates representing consumers and other interests in the food chain. It was further stressed that, in the interests of transparency, the publication of the Curricula Vitae of the successful candidates would be welcome.

'Following the above decision of the Conference of Presidents, I was informed that the Chair of the Management Board of EFSA, Ms Diána Bánáti, had resigned on 8 May 2012 in order to take up the position of “Executive and Scientific Director” at the “International Life Sciences Institute Europe” (ILSI Europe). In the light of this, the Coordinators of the Environment Committee asked me to convey to the Council and to the Commission their concern about this recent and potential future “revolving door” cases. It should therefore be stressed that, in relation to the ongoing appointments to the Management Board, the Council should avoid appointing candidates which are prone to potential conflicts of interest.

I will inform the Council and the Commission of the views of the European Parliament in writing. Those letters will conclude the consultation procedure.

Management Board

1.   The Management Board shall be composed of 14 members appointed by the Council in consultation with the European Parliament from a list drawn up by the Commission which includes a number of candidates substantially higher than the number of members to be appointed, plus a representative of the Commission. Four of the members shall have their background in organisations representing consumers and other interests in the food chain.

The list drawn up by the Commission, accompanied by the relevant documentation, shall be forwarded to the European Parliament. As soon as possible and within three months of such communication, the European Parliament may make its views available for consideration by the Council, which will then appoint the Management Board.

The members of the Board shall be appointed in such a way as to secure the highest standards of competence, a broad range of relevant expertise and, consistent with these, the broadest possible geographic distribution within the Union.’
