Teresa Ribera (Spain/S&D): Executive Vice-President for a clean, fair and competitive transition. Ribera will not only ensure that the decarbonization of industry is driven forward as part of the Green Deal, which she has already worked on as Spanish Environment Minister during the Spanish Council Presidency. Her new tasks in the Commission will focus in particular on Europe’s competitiveness. As Competition Commissioner, Ribera is to revise the guidelines for mergers, among other things. Even though she still has to prove her competence in the competitiveness portfolio, political opponents seem to have great confidence in the Spaniard. EPP leader Manfred Weber expressed his satisfaction in Strasbourg on Tuesday that there will not be another overpowering Frans Timmermans and emphasized that he also trusts Ribera to take care of Europe’s competitiveness. As Executive Vice-President, she also oversees the areas of climate, environment and energy.
