EPP holds Damocles’ sword over Creţu

Corina Creţu, Romania’s commissioner–designate for Regional Policy, left MEPs with mixed feelings following her confirmation hearing on 1 October 2014, according to EurActiv.

The centre-right EPP reproached her for providing few ideas, and for lacking a proposal as to how to solve a major budgetary problem concerning her portfolio.
