Barroso's Commissioner team ready to roll - by Clive Leviev-Sawyer


European Parliament approval of the new European Commission appears to be on track for the February 9, 2010 plenary vote, with 25 of 26 candidate Commissioners getting the all-clear and with no obstacle expected to Bulgaria’s Kristalina Georgieva getting the nod.

Georgieva was scheduled to meet European Commission President Jose Barroso on January 21, two days after she was named as Bulgaria’s new Commissioner-designate.

Barroso has confirmed that Georgieva, who will move from being a World Bank vice-president, will be European Commissioner for International Co-operation, Humanitarian Aid and Emergency Response. Her confirmation hearing in front of the European Parliament's development committee has been scheduled for February 3.
