Complex calendars and lengthy conflict of interest screenings for commissioner nominees have dashed hopes for a November launch. Now, the start date of the new Commission is likely to be delayed until the beginning of December, eight EU lawmakers, parliamentary officials and European diplomats told Politico.<\/p>\n<p>The complicated inner workings of the European Parliament\u2019s scheduling have been a rude awakening for Brussels bureaucrats returning from summer holidays, with the start of the next Commission now nearing Christmas, the officials said. The European Parliament seems in no rush to sign off on the next group of European commissioners, or to push them to start work on key portfolios such as competition, defense and trade even as Russia\u2019s war in Ukraine and the nearing U.S. election require the EU executive\u2019s work to continue.<\/p>\n<p>The original slate of hearings expected for late September was \u201coverly optimistic,\u201d said one senior parliamentary official, who, like the others quoted in the story, was granted anonymity to speak freely. The official pointed out delays were due, in part, to the Parliament\u2019s complicated travel calendar (MEPs are set to go to Strasbourg for the last week of September and two weeks of October).<\/p>\n<p>The hearings usually take place in Brussels and relocating them to Strasbourg would be a logistical nightmare, the senior official pointed out. \u201cThere is no rush,\u201d the official added, arguing that both the Parliament and the nominees will benefit from extra time. \u201cThe nominees want as many days as possible to prepare.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The likely delay is yet another setback for European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who is struggling to achieve her goal of a gender-balanced institution. So far, there are only 9 female nominees and many EU capitals are resisting pressure to change their male nominees for female ones. Earlier this week, for example, the Slovenian government publicly reiterated that Toma\u017e Vesel would remain Ljubljana\u2019s pick.<\/p>\n<p>Eric Mamer, the chief spokesperson of the European Commission, said that \u201cit is for the European Parliament to set the schedule for the hearings.\u201d After the European Parliament election in early June, Brussels hoped the new Commission would be up and running as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/eu-parliament-scheduling-fiasco-risk-delay-commissioner-hearing\/\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/eu-parliament-scheduling-fiasco-risk-delay-commissioner-hearing\/\">Politico<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/european-parliaments-scheduling-fiasco-risks-delaying-commissioner-hearings\/\">European Parliament\u2019s scheduling fiasco risks delaying commissioner hearings<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","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":[15985,2331,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-133525","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-commissioner-hearings","tag-european-commission","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133525","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133525"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133525\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133525"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
