WEST Midlands MEP, Philip Bradbourn, has been elected Chairman of the European Parliament’s Inter-Parliamentary Delegation for relations with Canada.
Mr Bradbourn, who has also been elected as Co-Treasurer of the new centre-right European Conservatives and Reformists Parliamentary Group, will be the leading Euro MP working on the Inter-Parliamentary relations between the European Parliament and Canada.
He said: “This appointment will allow me to strengthen the relationship between the European Union and Canada and I am very much looking forward to the opportunity to work within the Inter-Parliamentary Delegation to achieve our mutual goals of transatlantic co-operation and free trade, which I see as particularly important for the region’s industry.”
