When Ursula von der Leyen was deciding who to assign the highly coveted competition portfolio, the strongest economic candidates were considered.<\/p>\n<p>The EU\u2019s competition chief wields significant power: able to block mergers, fine major companies, and prohibit state subsidies that distort the market. Unlike other commissioners, they do not need the approval of governments or MEPs to make decisions.<\/p>\n<p>Under Margrethe Vestager\u2019s decade-long reign as EU Antitrust chief, the role gained even more influence. Vestager, known for her charisma and initiative, became one of the most recognisable EU figures. Her tenure saw high-profile cases against tech giants like Google and Apple and unprecedented COVID-19 aid to companies, which sparked both praise and controversy.<\/p>\n<p>Teresa Ribera\u2019s name emerged as a contender for the competition post late in the selection process, raising concerns due to her limited experience in competition law. Ribera, one of the most influential ministers in Pedro Sanchez\u2019s government, has focused primarily on environmental issues throughout her career \u2014 particularly in fighting climate change.<\/p>\n<p>However, insiders in von der Leyen\u2019s circle confirmed that the Commission president sought someone who could not only handle the technicalities of the competition role but also embody the influence and recognition Vestager brought to the position. As her team lacked a candidate with the same blend of charisma and experience, with several new appointees having little government experience, Ribera was the prime suspect to take up that role.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2024\/09\/18\/socialist-ribera-becomes-von-der-leyens-new-right-hand-woman\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/socialist-ribera-becomes-von-der-leyens-new-right-hand-woman\/\">Socialist Ribera becomes von der Leyen\u2019s new right-hand woman<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,16146,16147],"class_list":["post-133811","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-leyen","tag-socialist-ribera"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133811","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133811"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133811\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133811"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133811"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133811"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
