Transparency and openness in European institutions
Committee on Rules of Procedure, Immunities and Institutional Affairs
In the draft resolution, after paragraph 10, insert the following paragraph:
"The Assembly welcomes the gradual consolidation of the Council of Europe integrity system for staff and the one set up by the Parliamentary Assembly for its members. The Assembly undertakes to take further steps to improve the Assembly’s efficiency and effectiveness in dealing with conflict of interest situations through, notably, organising information seminars for both Council of Europe staff and members of the Assembly in order to deal effectively with situations relating to allegations of conflicts of interests, and reflecting on the need to widen the definition of conflict of interests. The Assembly invites its Bureau to continue reflecting on the best possible ways of ensuring transparency of the interactions between interest group representatives and Assembly members."
