Nine EU commissioner candidates have been taken to task for
incomplete financial declarations by the European Parliament's (EP)
legal affairs committee.
The revelation, made by French left-wing MEP Manon Aubry, on Twitter on Thursday (19 September) did not name names.
But eight of them were listed by Polish news website Onet.pl, citing an EP source.
The Onet.pl list included: Josep Borrell (Spanish candidate for EU the foreign affairs chief portfolio); Elisa Ferreira (Portuguese candidate for cohesion and reforms); Johannes Hahn (Austria's candidate for budget); Stellia Kyriakidu (Cyprus' candidate for health); Rovana Plumb (Romania's candidate for transport); Didier Reynders (Belgium's candidate for justice); Kadri Simson (Estonian candidate for energy); and Janusz Wojciechowski (Polish candidate for agriculture).
The candidates were asked to submit additional information on their declarations by 27 September, so that the legal affairs committee can give the green light for their public hearings by the parliament, starting 30 September.
