Professional activity in the European Parliament
Ernő Schaller-Baross took over his mandate as a member of the European Parliament in January 2021. He began his career as a full member of the Committee on Legal Affairs (JURI) and the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs (EMPL), and as a substitute member of the Delegation for relations with the United States of America.
In the Committee on Legal Affairs, he was directly dealing with the European Parliament's reports on the quality of EU legislation, focusing on proposals that would prevent the EU institutions from overextension and allow Member States to be more closely involved in monitoring subsidiarity and proportionality of EU legislation.
In the area of digital policy, he emphasized the need for transparency, the rule of law and the need for political neutrality with regard to the operation of technology giants.
In September 2021, as non-attached Member of the European Parliament, he became full member of the Special Committee on Artificial Intelligence (AIDA) and substitute member of the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE).

Since January 2022 Ernő Schaller-Baross is a member of the Committee on International Trade (INTA), which plays a decisive role in the definition of the Union's trade policy. The role of INTA is to evaluate all EU trade and investment agreements, scrutinise the Commission's work before the start of and during negotiations and co-decide on the legal framework related to international trade given that trade agreements and legal acts can only enter into force with the consent of the European Parliament. The Committee also leads the debate about the future direction of international trade and investments.
As a member of the Committee, he plays an active role, primarily in the interests of European companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises so that they can maintain and increase their competitiveness within the EU and as global players in the international market.
