Invitation – Building a stronger EU integrity framework – Tuesday 6 June 2023
Invitation – Building a stronger EU integrity framework – Tuesday 6 June 2023
Paul Henri Spaak Room, Sofitel Hotel, Place Jourdan 1, 1040 Brussels
A strong EU integrity framework is essential for public trust in EU decision making. The current system is complex, with several oversight authorities and multiple overlapping rules applying to each institution. As the recent Qatargate revelations have demonstrated, the system remains vulnerable to serious breaches.
The European Ombudsman invites you to a conference with high-level speakers from the main oversight authorities as well as the European Commission and the European Parliament to discuss gaps in the architecture of, and compliance with, the integrity framework. In particular, participants will discuss what changes could make it stronger. The discussion will also focus on proposals to create an independent ethics body and the potential role it can have in further improving the integrity of the EU administration.
