ČT24 | The government confirmed the nomination of Jozef Síkela to the European Commission

Czech government has confirmed the nomination of Minister of Industry and Trade Jozef Síkela for the position of Czech EU Commissioner at its meeting. How will the appointment process continue?

In Brussels, Síkela's nomination has been considered a given since the beginning of summer. At the European level, he is regarded as a solid, strong candidate. He has experience from both the private and public sectors, has navigated the very challenging Czech EU Presidency, and has been involved in complex ministerial negotiations during the energy crisis. His name is therefore well-known in Brussels, and this could bolster the Czech Republic's efforts to secure a strong economic portfolio.
