MEPs want to investigate whether Qatar improperly influenced a key air transport agreement that gives Qatar Airways unlimited access to the EU market.
Karima Delli, chair of the parliament's transport committee, which negotiated the deal, warned that Qatar could have interfered in the internal discussions of the deal in parliament.
"Given recent events, consenting to this agreement at this stage may be difficult until it can be determined that the terms were transparent and fair," she wrote in a letter to her committee's caucus coordinators.
Daly said the committee would work with the MEP president's internal investigations, declassifying documents and statements that "relate to Qatar, if necessary."
In terms of potentially rejecting the ratification of the agreement concluded last year, she added that the committee should receive instructions from the European Commission "to quickly inform us of the current process of ratification of the aviation agreement between the EU and Qatar and to inform us when the conciliation procedure is expected to start."
