Main parliamentary activities

Reports - as rapporteur

A rapporteur is appointed in the responsible parliamentary committee to draft a report on proposals of a legislative or budgetary nature, or other issues.

Reports adopted at committee level are then examined and voted on in plenary. Rule 55

Tackling the challenges of the EU Customs Code (UCC) implementation (B8-0024/2017)

19-01-2017

I voted to support the European Parliament resolution on updating the implementation of the Union Customs Code. Robust customs processes are vital to underpin fair and free trade, but where they are overly complex they are particularly detrimental to small and medium enterprises.
Digitisation gives an opportunity to simplify the bureaucracy. EU countries have agreed to modernise our customs process for the digital age, and it is vital that this work is completed and that process systems are interlinked and interoperable.

Written questions

Members can submit a specific number of questions to the President of the European Council, the Council, the Commission and the Vice-President of the Commission/High Representative of the Union, for written answer. Rule 138, Annex III
