Request for the waiver of the immunity of Janusz Korwin-Mikke

The European Parliament decided to waive the immunity of Janusz KORWIN-MIKKE (NI, PL).

Parliament recalled that the Prosecutor-General of Poland forwarded a request made by the Municipal Police Chief in Piotrków Trybunalski for action to be taken against a Member of the European Parliament, Mr Janusz Korwin-Mikke, in connection with an alleged road traffic offence (speeding).

Given that this conduct constitutes an offence under the Polish Road Traffic Act and that the alleged offence does not have a direct or obvious connection with Mr Korwin-Mikke’s performance of his duties as a Member of the European Parliament, Parliament stated that it does not constitute an opinion expressed or a vote cast in the performance of his duties as a Member of the European Parliament within the meaning of Article 9 of Protocol No 7 on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Union.

Therefore, it decided to waive the immunity of Janusz Korwin-Mikke.
