Adina-Ioana Valean.
With the new European Commission waiting to commence work because 3 of Ursula von der Leyden’s 27 appointees were rejected by MEPs, the date for the hearings for the new commissioners-designate has now been set for 14 November. Among them is Adina-Ioana Valean from Romania, who has been given the transport brief.
If accepted, Adina-Ioana Valean will succeed Violeta Bulc from Slovakia in her role. There had been some speculation that MEP Siegfried Muresan would get the nod. He was the other of the two candidates put forward by the government under Prime Minister Ludovic Orban. Adina-Ioana Valean would only be the second woman to serve in this role following her predecessor Bulc. The von der Leyden Commission is also the first ever to be headed by a woman.
The hearings will last three hours each and if successful there will be a plenary vote on 27 November, where a simple majority is necessary to elect the full Commission. Read more
