The Parliament will meet for the first time in plenary in July 2019 to induct the newly elected MEPs, during which time the members will elect their President.
The next step in the process will be for a candidate (likely to be the EPP Spitzkandidat Manfred Weber) to be put forward as EU Commissioner, subject to confirmation by the European Parliament, followed by the selection of the Council of Commissioners for different areas of work. The official end of the term of the Juncker Commission is October 2019.
Alzheimer Europe will now work to re-establish the European Alzheimer’s Alliance (EAA), work with other civic society and patient organisations to identify members supportive to social, health and research matters, and engage with members who signed the pledge to encourage them to help push dementia as a priority area in future EU work.
