The parliament will hold two hearings with Commissioners.
Juncker Commission (and hearings)
The parliament will hold two hearings with Commissioners-designate Bulc and Sefcovic. Bulc was nominated by Slovenia to replace failed candidate Bratusek whilst Sefcovic was promoted to Bratusek’s old portfolio as commission vice-president for energy union, with Bulc taking his former transport portfolio. ECR coordinator in the transport committee Roberts Zile will lead the assessment of Commissioner-designate Bulc, whilst Marek Grobarczyk and Julie Girling will lead the assessment on Commissioner-designate Sefcovic.
Following these hearings President-elect Juncker will present the whole commission to MEPs who will vote on the entire college of commissioners as a single block.
The ECR Group will determine its final position on the commission on Tuesday evening at its regular group meeting.
