As the mandate of the current European Parliament and Commission is drawing to an end – with elections planned for next year – this workshop aims to take stock of ethics and transparency measures initiated and/or implemented in both institutions since 2014 until present day. In particular, we explore in a comparative perspective points of convergence and divergence in the regulatory approaches of the European Parliament and Commission. The workshop brings together Law and Political Science scholars, as well as practitioners from EU Institutions and NGOs, in the framework of two panels. Discussion topics include the regulation of conflicts of interest and so-called ‘revolving doors’ situations, relations between public office holders and interest representatives, as well as internal and external mechanisms of control.
