Anti-corruption agenda: laborious implementation in the EP

After the corruption scandal involving the deposed Vice-President of the European Parliament, Eva Kaili, became public, Parliament President Roberta Metsola set up an anti-corruption agenda. The implementation of her 14-point plan has begun, but is proving slow. This is because changes to the rules of procedure are also necessary. To do this, a legislative text must be drafted and voted on in plenary. The yes votes of half of all Members of Parliament are needed, i.e. 353 votes.
