L e French Commissioner designate Pierre Moscovici, extensively questioned Thursday on its balance sheet as a finance minister Francois Hollande by the Economic Affairs Committee of the European Parliament, will ultimately answer a series of written questions. The EPP with “ lowered his voice “, according to some insiders, the assumption of a second hearing was rejected.
A benefit deemed “robust”
The European Parliament is in turmoil since Wednesday evening because of political games that engage large groups around the hearings of the Commissioners-designate. The Social Democrats have strongly criticized the EPP candidate (EPP) Miguel Arias Cañete, proposed by the elected President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker at the post of Energy and Climate. The EPP has decided the next day to cook Pierre Moscovici on his past as French finance minister.
A member of the EPP described the delivery of French “ strong “but conceded that his group has linked spells Miguel Cañete and Pierre Moscovici. The official assessment of the Spaniard was pushed back after the weekend and the European People’s Party wanted to call Mr. Moscovici back for a second audition.
But Thursday night at the Committee concerned, it appeared during the formal evaluation of the hearing of the French EPP and S & amp;. D had agreed to only apply to the Commissioner designated to answer a series of written questions
Liberals and Conservatives favor a second hearing
Liberals (ALDE) and conservative ECR are not very happy with the agreement without their knowledge. They supported the original proposal EPP Pierre Moscovici book the same fate as the Briton Jonathan Hill. This candidate RCTs suggested for Financial Services, will board a hearing next Tuesday.
When asked regularly since the beginning of the week, spokesmen Jean-Claude Juncker merely stated that the future president of the Commission is very pleased with the way his commissioners passed their audition and he had found them very competent. Juncker is in telephone contact “ day and night ” with the European Parliament, they said.
Providing Marianne Thyssen welcomed by all
Other commissioners appointed were also invited to make written after hearing details: the Czech Vera Jourova was rated “ rather vague ” on a range of issues related to its portfolio justice and gender equality. Hungarian Tibor Navracsics proposed for the portfolio of Culture and Youth, will also submit written answers. His past as a minister in the government of Viktor Orban, who notably passed laws restricting freedom of the press, cringe.
The Belgian Marianne Thyssen, Commissioner-designate for Employment and Social Affairs has meanwhile made a welcomed by all.
After the auditions packed, next Tuesday, the group presidents will meet in Conference of Presidents. This is where the trade-offs are likely to make, and we will know if the Parliament rejects the applications. This happened in 2004 and 2009.
Consultation in Parliament could also lead to a redistribution or rearrangement of portfolios.
