The Treaty requires the Members to perform their duties in complete independence and in the general interest of the European Union.
The Council took its decisions on the basis of proposals by the respective Member States and after consulting the European Parliament.
The College of Members, chaired by Klaus-Heiner Lehne, President of the ECA, will meet in its new composition to determine the specific duties of the two new Members. Ms Maletić and Mr Ştefan will be sworn in at the Court of Justice of the EU at a later date.
The ECA’s organisation chart and governance structure are available on its website eca.europa.eu and will be updated in due course.
