EU Commissioner

Czech representation in the European institutions is changing. Jozef Síkela has promoted several Czech candidates for key European positions in the cabinets of other Commissioners. The selection of the Czech representatives is the result of compromises between the Member States and the European Commission, with the main aim of ensuring a balance between the interests of the individual countries. Viktor Daněk, Deputy Director of EUROPEUM Institute, commented for Seznam Zprávy.

The factions of the European Parliament approved all the candidates for the new European Commission. Viktor Daněk, deputy director of EUROPEUM Institute, commented for ČT24.

The European Parliament has just finished the hearing of the candidates for European Commissioner, but we do not know the results yet. So how did they do and what happens next? For Slovakian STVR commented Žiga Faktor, Deputy Director and Head of EUROPEUM's Brussels office.

The Czech candidate for EU Commissioner Jozef Síkela succeeded in the so-called grilling before MEPs, which every nominated member of the EU executive must pass. He has won the support of a two-thirds majority of DEVE to become Commissioner for International Partnerships. The former trade and industry minister wants to strengthen partnerships with Africa and Latin America and intends to tackle the drivers of illegal migration. Viktor Daněk, deputy director at EUROPEUM Institute, commented for ČT24.
