The European Parliament is to decide on a new chairman for the delegation to the EU-Ukraine Parliamentary Cooperation Committee will be uncovered by the end of the week.
Romania Socialist Adrian Severin, who previously chaired the
EU-Ukraine delegation, has been again elected member of the European
Parliament and will not return to the delegation.
The MEP won’t be nominated for the committee chairman and is
unlikely to become a member of the new delegation, as he has been
elected vice-president of the Group of the Progressive Alliance of
Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, Interfax-Ukraine
learned at Severin’s press office in Brussels on Monday.
According to the agency’s information, Severin’s predecessor in the
post, Polish Socialist Marek Siwiec is not going to run for this post,
either.
The European Parliament is currently considering the candidates to head the delegation.
The delegation to the EU-Ukraine Parliamentary Cooperation Committee
will be finally formed during the European Parliament’s plenary meeting
scheduled for September 14-17 in Strasbourg.
