One of the newly elected Maltese MEPs, Roberta Metsola, has been appointed to four committees of the European Parliament.

Dr Metsola, a lawyer specialising in European law, has taken the place of former MEP Simon Busuttil as a full member of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, the Special Committee on Organised Crime, Corruption and Money Laundering, the Committee on Petitions, and a substitute member of the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection.

Dr Metsola was elected to the European Parliament together with Claudette Abela Baldacchino and Marlene Mizzi in a casual election held on 24 April. This followed the election of Simon Busuttil, Louis Grech and Edward Scicluna to the national parliament in the 9 March election.
