Hearings rules

Each candidate faces a three-hour hearing in front of the parliamentary committee or committees responsible for the portfolio.

Evaluation of the hearings

The European Parliament tests new Commissioner’s general competences, European commitment and specific expertise related to their assigned portfolio.

The Chair and group representatives (coordinators) of the committees evaluated the performance of each Commissioner-designate, just after the hearings.

Within 24 hours of completing the evaluation, coordinators send a confidential letter of recommendation to the Conference of Committee Chairs, stating whether a candidate is qualified both to be Member of the College of Commissioners and to carry out the assigned duties.

Committee coordinators may reach consensus to recommend a Commissioner-designate for approval by plenary. If opinions diverge, the backing of coordinators representing at least two-thirds of the committee membership is necessary.

Vote on 23 October

After the hearings have been concluded, the Commission President-elect Ursula von der Leyen will present the full College of Commissioners and its programme in plenary.

The full Commission needs the consent of Parliament by a majority of the votes cast.

The vote will take place on 23 October. Once elected by Parliament, the Commission is formally appointed by the European Council, acting by a qualified majority.

Ursula von der Leyen

The new Commission will reflect the priorities and ambitions set out in the Political Guidelines. The Commission follows the objectives of President-elect von der Leyen, who was already elected by the European Parliament.
