On 1 October 2014, the European Parliament will hold the confirmation hearing of the Commissioner-designate for Climate Change and Energy, Miguel Arias Cañete (from Spain).

The website contains his CV, declaration of financial interests, as well as his answer to the written questions from the Parliament.

 

The nomination of the proposed Commissioner has been heavily commented. I recommend the following article from Euractiv to get a rapid overview. The European Parliament has also published an infographic on the nomination process for the new college of the European Commission (here).
