On late Monday evening, the European Parliament’s Environmental Committee (ENVI) did not clear the path for the appointment of the designated Climate Commissioner, Wopke Hoekstra. Following Hoekstra’s three-hour hearing, the coordinators of the factions postponed their decision on whether to forward their recommendation for the Dutchman to the EU Presidents’ Conference (COP). They now intend to make a decision today, Tuesday at 2 pm, after the ENVI has also questioned the designated Green Deal Commissioner, Maroš Šefčovič.
