The European Parliament will hold confirmation hearings for candidates to join the European Commission from November 4 to 12. Each candidate must demonstrate their qualifications and address potential conflicts of interest. Notable candidates include Stephane Séjourné and Hadja Lahbib, who will face scrutiny from multiple committees. The process has faced criticism for lack of thoroughness, with some members protesting the rushed nature of the hearings. Despite concerns, the chair of the JURI committee defended the process, stating that they sought additional information when necessary.
