§ 31. Mr. GillTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment he has made of the disciplinary procedures applicable to employees of the European Commission. [79977]
§ Ms QuinI believe that a review of these procedures for disciplinary offences should form part of the Commission reform process. Effective arrangements must be put in place under which those who do not meet the standard required of European public servants can be disciplined and, if necessary, dismissed within a reasonable timescale.
