European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders of the Member States (FRONTEX): term of office of Executive Director and Deputy Executive Director

The European Parliament adopted a resolution drafted by Giuseppe GARGANI (EPP-ED, IT), and adopted amendments aimed at giving Parliament a role in the procedures for the appointment of the Executive Director and the Deputy Executive Director and the renewal of their term of office. A new clause states that the Commission, after hearing the opinion of the representative appointed by the European Parliament, shall propose candidates for the post of the Executive Director based on a list following publication of the post in the Official Journal of the European Union and other press or internet sites as appropriate. Similarly, the Management Board must hear the opinion of the representative appointed by the European Parliament before extending the term of office.
