The European Parliament decided by 487 votes to 196, with 11 abstentions, to deliver a favourable opinion on the Council's proposal to nominate the Slovenian candidate Jorg Kristijan Petrovič as a Member of the Court of Auditors.

Jorg Kristijan Petrovič has been a Member and Vice-President of the Court of Auditors of the Republic of Slovenia since February 2013.

The Committee on Budgetary Control evaluated the credentials of the candidate proposed by the Council in view of the requirements laid down in Article 286(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). It then held a hearing with the candidate on 10 January 2022, during which the candidate made an opening statement and then answered questions put by members of the committee.
