European Civil Service Tribunal: judicial panel to the Court of First Instance

The European Parliament adopted a resolution drafted by Manuel Medina Ortega (PES, E) making some amendments to the proposal; the amendments largely deal with increased powers for Parliament. The committee set up to assess the suitability of candidates for the posts of judges of the tribunal should consult Parliament on the candidates, and should also have an appointee of the Parliament on board. Parliament deleted a provision which obliged the Tribunal to seek an amicable settlement at all stages of the procedure.�
