Hoekstra and Šefčovič: Environment Commi • Table.Briefings

The Parliament will not further oppose the appointment of Commissioners-designate Hoekstra and Šefčovič. The supplementary statements of the two Timmermans successors were sufficient to convince the majority of ENVI members. However, some questions remain.

The saga surrounding the two designated successors to Frans Timmermans is over. The Environment Committee of the EU Parliament (ENVI) has approved by a majority the appointment of Wopke Hoekstra as Climate Commissioner and Maroš Šefčovič as Green Deal Commissioner.
