The candidate for the post of Commissioner for Health and Animal Welfare, Olivér Várhelyi, has a distinctly EU biography. He was very open about his CV at the hearing of the Agriculture and Environment, AGRI and ENVI Committees. In his introductory remarks, the 52-year-old lawyer, who is not a member of Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz party, explains in detail in slightly Americanized English what he has already done in Brussels: Among other things, he was Head of Unit in the Commission, Permanent Representative of his country to the EU and, for the past five years, Enlargement Commissioner in the Von der Leyen Commission I.
