Parliament vote approves new designate-SANCO commissioner

The new Maltese commissioner
As anticipated last week, the European Parliament voted today on the appointment of mr Tonio Borg as the new Health, Consumers and Environment commissioner.
The parliament expressed its position by a secret vote which resulted in approval by a majority of 386 vs 281 votes and 28 abstentions. If you want to know more about the procedure and the new commissioner, the devoted pages on the Parliament's website are a powerful source of information.
