Parliament’s New Leaders
Last week the men and women who will decide a lot of Europe’s laws were decided.
The Chairs of the European Parliament’s Committees, whose job is to keep the European Commission and Council in check, make sure taxpayers’ money is spent properly, and scrutinise and pass laws were decided. Or, at least the political families choose.
Who Are They
Here’s the list that came out on Thursday morning. It is the result of 2 days of talks in Rome between political group leaders.

How Are They Chosen
The names of the people to fill the places will now be decided within the European Parliament political groups. Each group has its own rules how they choose whose going to take the positions.
The French Christian Democrats want the fisheries committee, but they may spend their quota allocation another becoming lead in the Agriculture Committee.
The names will come out next week, and the members of the Committees will be known the week of 7th July. I wonder how many people have any idea who these men and women are?
