Instead, she pointed to a proposal for a new ethics body to police all EU institutions — something she committed to more than three years ago, but which has gained little traction within any of the main institutions.
Referring to the European Commission’s transparency register, a database which lists representatives who carry out activities to influence EU policy and decision-making, she said: “We have one with very clear rules internally in the European Commission. There I think it is time to discuss whether we could not establish this over all for all EU institutions.”
The European Commission’s chief spokesman, Eric Mamer, made the following statement Monday:
“In relation to VP Schinas’ statements regarding labour rights in Qatar, the positions he has taken are in line with those of the Commission. There are no divergences nor any differences.
On the issue raised of the President not commenting on the question of her confidence in VP Schinas: The President stands behind the whole College. She does not need to mention this specifically now in relation to any specific member of College, as there are no new developments that concern the College.
We need to mention also that Mr Schinas is not under investigation.”
Mamer made the statement after media portrayed Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s non-comment that it somehow indicating her disapproval of the Vice-President and Commissioner for Commissioner for Promoting our European Way of Life Margaritis Schinas.

Von der Leyen first committed to establishing such a body in her mission letter to Commissioner Věra Jourová at the start of her mandate as Commission president, in December 2019.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen declined to answer questions about her Vice President Margaritis Schinas’ relations with Qatar at a press briefing Monday, triggering fury from the Brussels press corps seeking answers on the biggest corruption scandal to hit the EU in years.
The Greek commissioner represented the EU at the opening ceremony of the World Cup last month, and has been criticized by MEPs over his tweets in recent months, lavishing praise on Qatar’s labor reforms.
Asked about the Commission’s response to the Qatar corruption scandal engulfing the European Parliament, and in particular the stance of Schinas, von der Leyen was silent on the Greek commissioner.
Schinas also spearheaded a move by the European Commission to recommend lifting visa requirements for Qatar and Kuwait back in April, which would mean that Qataris would no longer need a visa when traveling to the EU for up to 90 days in any 180-day period — either for business, tourism or family purposes.
European Parliament President Roberta Metsola in Strasbourg confirmed that the proposal to grant visa-free travel for Qatari citizens is returning to committee. |
