MEPs elected Roberta Metsola (EPP, MT) on January 2022 as President of the European Parliament until 2024.

Roberta Metsola won the election in the first voting round, where she received an absolute majority of 458 votes out of 690 cast in the remote secret vote, among three candidates.&nbsp;

President Metsola is leading the Parliament in the second half of the current legislative term, until a new Parliament is constituted following the 2024 European Elections.

Born in Malta in 1979,&nbsp; Roberta Metsola who has been an MEP since 2013, is the youngest EP President ever elected. She became First Vice-President in November 2020, and was Parliament’s acting President after President Sassoli passed away on 11 January.

The Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) votes on its position on the reform of the Schengen Borders Code (Union Code), which include new rules governing the movement of persons across borders. MEPs want to ensure a coherent EU response in cases of large-scale public cross-border health emergencies, allowing temporary restrictions on entering the Schengen area, but exempting from them EU citizens, long-term residents and asylum-seekers. As an alternative to border controls, the new rules would promote police cooperation in border regions. MEPs also argue that the provisions on the instrumentalisation of migrants should be covered by a separate proposal. Extracts from the vote and statement by Sylvie GUILLAUME (S&D, FR), Rapporteur.

Luis Planas (Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food), Irene Montero (Minister for Equality), Diana Morant (Minister for Science and Innovation), Nadia Calviño (First Vice-President and Minister for the Economy and Digital Transformation) and Héctor Gómez (Minister for Industry, Trade and Tourism) present the priorities of the Spanish Presidency of the Council of the European Union in the AGRI, FEMM and ITRE Committees in Brussels.
