European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control: Director’s term of office

The European Parliament adopted a resolution drafted by Giuseppe GARGANI (EPP-ED, IT), and made some amendments stating that the opinion of the representative appointed by the European Parliament must be heard before the appointment of the Director and the renewal of his/her term of office. In addition, Parliament deleted the requirement that the renewal of the term of office must be on a proposal from the Commission. The management board and not the Commission will carry out the evaluation, which will be submitted without delay to the Commission and to the European Parliament.
