European Parliament amends its Rules of Procedure to strengthen integrity and transparency
On 13 September 2023 the European Parliament amended its Rules of Procedure to enhance integrity, transparency and accountability, with the changes entering into force on 1 November 2023.

The reforms followed the Qatargate scandal and President Metsola's 14-point plan.
