"Parliament approved the Commission in February 2010 by enhancing the process of hearings by which it was ensured that the entire Commission-designate was assessed in an open, fair and consistent manner. Nevertheless, one can draw conclusions from the approval process that it is necessary and desirable to carry out further adjustments in co-operation with the Commission. The code of conduct for members of the Commission needs to be revised and in particular its provisions relating to the financial statements of the Commissioners, in order to achieve the highest standards of European Union governance.
Some major changes to supplement the rules of procedure are as follows: the President of the Parliament may invite the President-elect of the Commission to inform Parliament on the division of departmental responsibilities in the proposed College of Commissioners in accordance with its political guidelines; the President-elect of the Commission shall present the college of Commissioners and their programme at a sitting of Parliament which the President of the European Council and President of the Council shall be invited to attend; committee co-ordinators are elected by the committee chairs in order to prepare the organisation of the Commission hearings; the hearings are organised by the Conference of Presidents on the recommendation of the Conference of Committee Chairs and the chair and coordinator of each committee is responsible for specific measures; three hours will be reserved for each hearing and if during its course it appears that the hearing of the Commissioners-elect needs to be extended, a second and final hearing may be arranged."@en1
