Hoekstra hearing not until October

The hearing of the EU Commissioner-designate for climate action Wopke Hoekstra by the members of the Environment Committee of the EU Parliament (ENVI) should not take place until October. A date at the beginning of the first October plenary week (Oct. 2-5) would be possible, so that the vote on the appointment of the Dutchman could also take place in the same week. From Parliamentary circles, however, it is said that they are aiming for the following week (Oct. 9-12) and would vote only in the second October plenary. The final decision on this date will be made next week.
