He was elected Chairman of the Conservatives in the European Parliament in November 2007.

Giles is the EPP-ED Group's Coordinator on the Industry, Research and Energy Committee and the Conservative Spokesman for that Committee. He is also Chairman of the Delegation for Interparliamentary Relations with Australia and New Zealand. A Co-ordinator combines the roles of whip, leader and spokesman.

He was the only Conservative MEP to be co-ordinator on a legislative committee and was twice elected to this position by EPP-ED MEPs from all Member States.
