October 31, 2024
EU Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders responded to MEP Fidias Panayiotou's question regarding the dismissal of former Auditor General Odysseas Michailidis. He stated that the Commission does not have the authority to intervene in individual judicial cases, as these are under the jurisdiction of national judicial authorities. The Commission also monitors rule of law developments in Cyprus. He noted that access to information affects the capabilities of the Audit Office in conducting effective checks.
