– After the vote:

  Karen Melchior (Renew). – Madam President, this is an extremely important resolution we just voted. However, we do not know if employees that we hire in our offices, or even in this Parliament, have a security record that declares them unfit to receive classified or secure information. We cannot share information with our employees if we do not know that they do not have a background that declares them unfit.

However, no security agencies within the European Union at a Member State level or within the institutions are able to assist Members of Parliament in making sure that they hire the right staff. This is something that this House must address before the next mandate.
