The new European Parliament will see re-elected and new MEPs go to work in their new offices on 30 June.
The membership of the new Committees, and I presume the Fisheries Committee will remain in existence in this Parliament, will be know around 7 July.
A look at the full and substitute membership of the last European Parliament shows that there is going to be a lot of turnover. Some long established members like Carmen Fraga, Struan Stevenson and Pat the Cope Gallagher are not returning. That loss of experience is hard for any Committee to bear, let alone one so new to the added responsibility of legislative work.
Also, if the current members seek renomination to the Fisheries Committee, it will be interesting to see the divide between those who supported the CFP Reform and those whose opposed it.
Today, I have listed the full members of the Committee. Tomorrow, I’ll update it with the substitutes.
