The hearings of the candidates for the Commissioner posts are scheduled to begin on Nov. 4. If the hearings go according to plan and no replacements become necessary, the European Parliament will be able to vote on the approval of the Von der Leyen Commission II during the session week of Nov. 25 in Strasbourg. This would be 47 days after the Commission President presented her proposal for the portfolios. In 2019, the European Parliament voted 59 days later.
