after a very hectic (but fun) week.</p> <p>I will refrain myself — this time — from complaining about the need to go there every month, as I am trying to come to terms with it. I will also not comment on the hellish journey back to Brussels on Thursday after the train chartered by Parliament caught fire. More on that <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/train-meps-evacuated-explosion-european-parliament-brussels-strasbourg/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.</p> <p>Instead, let’s dive right into a very juicy EU Transition Playbook in which I explore the shitstorms that have hit the European People’s Party and the Parliament’s legal affairs committee in the last two weeks — and how both are in the process of reform.</p> <p>Let’s go!</p> <h3><span style="color: #cd171e">A HECK OF A RIDE AHEAD FOR EPP</span></h3> <p><strong>LOYALISTS VS REFORMISTS.</strong> That’s the battle for the months until Spring, when the European People’s Party convenes in Valencia to approve a deep reform of the party and, most importantly, to elect a new president and secretary-general.</p> <p><strong>Context:</strong> Europe’s most influential party — which currently has <a href="https://www.politico.eu/newsletter/eu-election-playbook/the-eus-new-command-center/">all the EU institutions under its control</a> — is having a civil war at the very top. In short, secretary-general Thanasis Bakolas recently accused the president, Manfred Weber, of a major power grab by trying to hire close ally Tom Vandenkendelaere as the party’s chief of staff, alongside other power changes outlined below. Check out the story <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/top-of-european-peoples-party-manfred-weber-thanasis-bakolas-tom-vandenkendelaere-european-parliament/">here</a>.</p> <p><strong>VIEW 1 — WHY WEBER IS BAD:</strong> Weber is in charge of the EPP party and EPP group. That’s led to internal criticism that he has neglected the party and spends more time on his functions as chair of the group.</p> <p><strong>Heavy hitter hits out:</strong> “We are worried about the dysfunctionality of the party,” a senior EPP MEP said, arguing that under Weber’s leadership the party has “weakened its departments” such as communications and policy planning. In the case of Bakolas, the MEP (granted anonymity to speak freely) added that appointing him may have shown Weber’s “lack of judgment,” as the relationship between the two ultimately soured. “The decisions were made by Weber and his inner circle of trust and Bakolas was primarily implementing them,” the MEP said.</p> <p><strong><strong>VIEW 2 — WHY WEBER IS GOOD</strong>: </strong>On the other hand, Weber supporters say that Bakolas was supposed to take good care of the party, and did not, and that now Weber needs to regain control to “transfer the success of the group to the party.” One way to do that is by appointing key group figures to party posts, said another influential MEP. Supporters also argue Weber did a really good job at streamlining coordination between the group and the European Commission during the electoral campaign and since then.</p> <p>“The party was seen too much as an isolated island,” the MEP said, adding that “Weber’s power changes are not necessarily negative as the party does not function smoothly currently. We will have to see in the months to come … I don’t think clear leadership is bad for EPP.”</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Opponents and supporters all agree there is an issue with how the party has been managed, and the need to strengthen after years of erosion. They disagree on who to blame.</p> <p><strong>THE REFORM:</strong> Weber faces both reelection and a huge party reform: “Fix the roof when the sun is shining, goes the proverb. After the successful European elections, on which the party was fully focused since the beginning of our mandate, it is now time to work on the future of the party as a whole, meaning the by-laws, the procedures, the different organs,” Weber told POLITICO via a spokesperson, adding that “the EPP has always been at the forefront of promoting party politics at the EU level and we want to continue doing so.” The reform will be led by EPP VP Siegfried Mureșan and EPP treasurer François-Xavier Bellamy, two key Weber allies.</p> <p><strong>Timeline:</strong> According to a timeline for reform seen by POLITICO, EPP prime ministers will be informed of the process during a meeting before the European Council on Oct. 17. The reform task force will meet for the first time at the end of October. EPP members will be able to submit amendments until the first half of December, when the task force will meet and approve the final draft, which will then be adopted at the EPP congress in Valencia.</p> <p><strong>HOW WEBER IS SHAKING THE PARTY:</strong> Ahead of this process, Weber has established new workflows and internal assessments led by key allies.</p> <p><strong>Tightening grip:</strong> He is also isolating his main challenger, Bakolas. According to the internal note mentioned before, Weber now needs to be “formally consulted” about any new hires or promotions of senior staff in the EPP’s general secretariat. Bakolas will also have to live with a “<a href="https://www.unido.org/overview-member-states-change-management-faq/what-four-eyes-principle#:~:text=The%20four%2Deyes%20principle%20means,of%20authority%20and%20increase%20transparency." data-type="link" data-id="https://www.unido.org/overview-member-states-change-management-faq/what-four-eyes-principle#:~:text=The%20four%2Deyes%20principle%20means,of%20authority%20and%20increase%20transparency." target="_blank">four-eye principle</a>” when it comes to managing the budget and human resources, working more closely with Bellamy. Under these measures, Bakolas will have to “cooperate on a regular basis and in a timely manner with the treasurer and the general secretariat to ensure the fulfillment of his duties,” the document says.</p> <p><strong>A mysterious HR process:</strong> According to a note seen by POLITICO, Weber has also mandated a “thorough assessment of the human resources situation” in the party, including “individual interviews with the EPP staff.” While Weber’s office told POLITICO this is simply so that staff have a point of contact to talk about the reform process, others point out the process will most likely result in layoffs. The process will be led by Bellamy and EPP vice-president Mariya Gabriel.</p> <p><strong>Interestingly enough, Gabriel has a poor reputation on HR:</strong> Before departing from the commission, over time she <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/mariya-gabriel-bulgaria-prime-minister-european-commission-baggage/">lost 19 staffers</a>, roughly the number in an entire Commission cabinet. Former staffers told POLITICO she would put extraordinary workloads on her team and ask them to take care of personal matters unrelated to the job — one describing their time in the cabinet as “a nightmare.”</p> <p><strong>Bellamy, a shot to von der Leyen: </strong>Weber has been giving Bellamy a lot of power lately. Having <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/french-conservative-lead-candidate-von-der-leyen-not-our-candidate/">spearheaded a campaign</a> within the EPP to prevent a second term for Ursula von der Leyen, he was appointed treasurer of the party after the EU election, and now heads the reform task force, the HR review process, and has increased oversight over the secretary general’s work. “It’s a signal that Weber was not fully supporting von der Leyen’s campaign,” said one of the senior MEPs, echoing other EPP insiders.</p> <h3><span style="color: #cd171e">IT’S TIME TO REFORM HOW PARLIAMENT SCRUTINIZES COMMISSIONERS</span></h3> <p><strong>DEPT. OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: </strong>Someone called my partner-in-crime Elisa Braun this week and asked if they had reached the unofficial European Bureau of Conflicts of Interest, she explains in this week’s <a href="https://www.politico.eu/newsletter/politico-eu-influence/hi-youre-through-to-the-conflicts-of-interest-hotline/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.politico.eu/newsletter/politico-eu-influence/hi-youre-through-to-the-conflicts-of-interest-hotline/">EU Influence newsletter</a>. I have to say it does feel like that, as we have covered the (very wonky) Parliament conflicts of interest screenings for commissioners closer than anyone in the bubble.</p> <p><strong>Must read:</strong> Here’s <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/leaked-eu-commissioner-property-money-influence-declaration-interest/">the first leak</a> in which we bring much-needed transparency to the process by publishing the information contained in the commissioners’ confidential financial declarations. Here’s<a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/leaked-document-tense-correspondence-commissioner-hopefuls-eu-parliament-additional-financial-assets-scrutiny/"> the second leak</a> from this week in which we make public the reaction from commissioners after Parliament demanded more information. Spoiler: The correspondence was quite tense.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> After a short back and forth with the Commission, the EPP, S&D, Renew, and ECR groups (all 26 commissioners are members of one of those) gave them all a free pass, despite concerns from Green and Left lawmakers — and even some lawmakers from the bigger groups who had to shut up and fall in line.</p> <p><strong>TIME TO REFORM:</strong> Many MEPs are calling for the entire process to be reformed, including the chair of the legal affairs committee (known as JURI) Ilhan Kyuchyuk. Transparency, politicization, and the rules of procedure are all on the line.</p> <p><strong>Item 1: Transparency.</strong> One of the reasons for potential reform is simply that the public did not have access to nor clarity about the process, which sheds doubts on the effectiveness of the screenings. On top of that, it also pushed political groups to speed up the process to avoid negative backlash from the public.</p> <p>“Given the intransparency of the entire process, the effect of another round [of screenings] would have been a politically damaging one for all those that would have been put in detention. If nobody outside of JURI understands where we are in the process, singling out some candidates for another round of information requests would have been interpreted outside of the committee as JURI considering them to actually have a serious conflict of interests, although this is not the case,” said Rene Repasi, S&D leader in the committee. He added that with the information they had received, no conflicts of interest were identified and fresh information would likely not have changed that.</p> <p>Repasi also argued that the lack of transparency could give rise to “headlines” used by national parties to single out and attack their opponents.</p> <p>“We have reached a stage in the debate where it seems fairer to me that the commissioner-designate can reply directly to the allegations raised behind information requests, but that is what the second stage of the process with the hearings is for.”</p> <p><strong>Item 2: Legal clarity.</strong> The legal basis for the process is shaky at best, especially the definitions of what needs to be declared. One of the parliamentary officials involved in the process said the “rules are weirdly phrased,” which leads to a lack of clarity on what commissioners need to give Parliament. This vagueness allows candidates to disclose or omit based on their own assessment of what might constitute a conflict of interest, “which is strange,” the same official said (they were granted anonymity to speak freely). </p> <p>One of the things JURI does first is to assess the accuracy and completeness of the declarations, but “there is no predefined benchmark,” said Repasi.</p> <p>“This ambiguity weakened the recent process,” he said, adding that, since commissioners can choose what to include in the declarations and lawmakers can only assess those declarations without investigating further, “our job is obviously constrained.”</p> <p>Repasi also criticized the secretariat of the committee for not asking for feedback on the phrasing of questions sent to the commissioners. According to Green MEP Sergey Lagodinsky, the wording was “vague and incomplete.” On top of that, the questions just asked for the limited information required by the commissioners’ code of conduct — something they had already done.</p> <p>“That was confusing for the candidates and unnecessarily limiting ourselves,” Repasi said. </p> <p>For that reason, and due to the vagueness of the questions, commissioners in many cases pushed back against giving more information.</p> <p><strong>Item 3: Politicization.</strong> The process was a “farce” because “the outcome was predetermined” as S&D, EPP, and Renew ignored commissioners’ red flags to save them from further scrutiny, said The Left MEP Mario Furore, echoing many of his peers.</p> <p>The process is flawed because there is no objective, professional authority supervising the financial disclosures and interest screenings, as is the case in many member states.</p> <p>This, plus the lack of transparency, means the process can deviate towards political games. Many MEPs had dossiers with potentially compromising information to use as ammunition in case opponents attacked their own commissioners.</p> <p><strong>FYI</strong>: The EPP’s lead MEP in the committee, Axel Voss, did not immediately reply to a request for comment.</p> <h3><span style="color: #cd171e">TOP NEWS</span></h3> <p><strong>FOUR NEW COMMITTEES WILL NEED TO WAIT:</strong> The Parliament’s groups agreed before summer to create two new committees, for housing and democracy, and to upgrade defense and health from sub-committees to fully-fledged committees. But all four will have to wait until the hearings are over, S&D MEP Gabriele Bischoff told a group of reporters on Tuesday evening over dinner.</p> <p><strong>Drafting a mandate:</strong> Each new committee needs a specific mandate describing its mission and competencies, which needs to be approved by the Conference of Presidents. “Only after the hearings we will have the capacity. We have four proposals and in the end we [political groups] need to negotiate until we can agree and have four mandates that can work,” Bischoff said. </p> <p><strong>Who does what: </strong>Bischoff herself is in charge of drafting the mandate for the housing committee — which will be chaired by the Socialists — while the EPP is working on the health committee, she said. The mandates for defense and democracy are likely tasked to the liberal Renew Europe group, as Germany’s Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann chairs the former while the latter will also go to a liberal lawmaker, France’s Nathalie Loiseau, according to a Renew spokesperson.</p> <p><strong>Spicyness:</strong> Drafting the mandate won’t be easy, as existing committees are fighting to maintain competencies that some want to be shifted to the new ones. For example, the industry committee is wary of giving the defense committee powers over the defense and space industry.</p> <p><strong>BETTER LUCK NEXT YEAR:</strong> 2024 has been a less-than-productive year for the European Union, our Barbara Moens and Jacopo Barigazzi <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-year-of-doing-nothing-ukraine-elections-parliament-delays/">write</a>, owing to multiple elections and other distractions — and there’s little sign that Brussels will snap out of its rut anytime soon.</p> <p><strong>MARK YOUR CALENDARS:</strong> The European Parliament’s incoming commissioner hearings will <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/european-parliament-final-november-schedule-commissioner-hearings/">begin</a> Nov. 4.
