On 12 November 2024, Raffaele Fitto, Executive Vice-President-designate of the European Commission for Cohesion and Reforms, is auditioned at the European Parliament to test his general skills, his European commitment and the specific skills linked to his portfolio.
There are strong reservations in parts of the EU Parliament about Raffaele Fitto from Forza Italia as Commissioner for Cohesion and Reforms.

Now that Ursula von der Leyen has revised the mission letters for the College, the Greens are claiming key changes for themselves. „Above all, we have ensured that the implementation of the rule of law instruments falls under the responsibility of Vice-President Virkkunen and Commissioner McGrath. This removes responsibility for the Cohesion Fund and the ARF from Executive Vice-President Fitto,“ reads a paper published by the Greens in the European Parliament on Tuesday. The ARF is the Recovery and Resilience Facility for reconstruction after the Covid pandemic.
