Before the European Commissioners-designate as presented by incoming Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker on the 10 September 2014 could take office and start work, Members of the European Parliament exercised their power of democratic scrutiny enshrined in the Treaty by holding hearings to quiz the 27 candidates on their skills and their qualifications for the posts proposed to them. These hearings, took place from 29 September 2014 - 7 October 2014. The candidates were heard by the parliamentary committee(s) active in their proposed fields of responsibility. The European Parliament was set to vote on whether or not to approve the full Commission on 22 October 2014. This would allow the new Commission to start work on 1 November 2014. |
