At this halfway point you have the choice to change Committees if you so wish, and the press release which you can find here, will explain that I have joined the Employment committee.
Joining Committees
Places on committees are allocated by each of the political groups. Each MEP generally has two committees but this is not always the case. If members change political group, or simply want to change which committee they sit on, this can be done at the halfway point.
Which MEP gets which place is for negotiation between them and their group. Some groups do not give their members much choice over which committees that they sit on.
As a non-attached MEP, Nikki negotiated her new places herself with the Parliament's administration.
When I became an MEP I promised to fight for jobs for people in my constituency. With growing levels of youth unemployment, I am incredibly worried about the job prospects for young people in the UK. I will fight EU legislation which will lead to less jobs being created.
I have spoken about the loss of jobs in the West Midlands in my speeches in Parliament, specifically noting the Peugeot Ryton Plant in Coventry
Nikki talks about youth unemployment and unemployment in the West Midlands in the above video, also referencing the Ryton Plant.
