The Award Member of Parliament <\/b>of the Year in the “Single Market and European Competitiveness” category of the prestigious The Parliament Magazine has selected Dimitris Tsiodras.<\/b><\/p>\n
After the announcement of candidacy<\/b>, the MEP and spokesman of the New Democracy Group of the European Parliament said that “this candidacy is a significant honour and recognition<\/b> of my work”, adding that “with 4 pieces of legislation as rapporteur, 4 opinions, 47 speeches in plenary, 61 written questions<\/b> and hundreds of amendments, I have tried to contribute to a single market with rules and controls on imports, less bureaucracy, support for small and medium-sized enterprises and effective consumer protection.<\/b><\/p>\n
The list of a total of four candidates for the award<\/b> is the result of a rigorous process following a proposal from bodies related to the subject matter and based on the key criterion of parliamentary contribution to promoting the completion of the single market and strengthening European competitiveness<\/b>.<\/p>\n
It is noteworthy that Dimitris Tsiodras<\/b> is the only one of the candidates elected for the first time in 2024<\/b> as the list includes three very experienced MEPs with at least one term in the European Parliament, namely, Christian Ehler, Coordinator of the European People’s Party (EPP<\/b>) in the Industry, Research and Energy Committee, Susana Sol\u00eds P\u00e9rez, Spanish EPP MEP and St\u00e9phanie Yon-Courtin, Liberal (Renew) Coordinator in the Economic and Monetary Policy Committee of the European Parliament.<\/p>\n
The awards<\/b> will be presented during a special ceremony on 30 June in Brussels. <\/b>Regardless of the outcome, Dimitris Tsiodras noted that “in any case, the recognition of this effort has its own value and I pledge to continue in this way.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
