The newly proposed #Fidesz candidate for the Commission, #Varhelyi, was not approved after his hearing in the @Europarl_EN with 30 votes in favour and 48 against. Written questions will be the next steps. We need more commitments that fit the proposed portfolio! #EPhearing2019
These new written questions show that this @Europarl_EN increasingly understands #Orban's system and rightfully expresses its doubts about a candidate for the enlargement & neighbourhood porfolio proposed by a gvt known to be close to the Putins and Erdogans of this world!
This new hurdle to get his candidate through is a failure for Orbán, who is becoming a champion in saying one thing in Brussels and another in Budapest.
Well, Mr. #Orbán, those days are over...

1. Mme Goulard, je partage avec mes collègues les interrogations sur les difficultés éthiques que posent votre candidature #EPhearing2019 #Audition #Goulard ⤵️ 
2. Pour revenir au fond : une politique industrielle est plus que jamais nécessaire ! L'industrie européenne a perdu de très nombreuses entreprises, des millions d'emplois, des savoir-faire dont nous avons plus que jamais besoin pour faire la transition écologique. #EPhearing2019
3. Mme #Goulard, êtes-vous prête à :
1) Mettre en place des taxes écologiques et sociales ?
2) Assouplir les règles pour permettre des aides d’Etat ?
3) Mettre fin au dogme du libre-échange ?
Ou serez-vous la #Commissaire du démantèlement industriel de l’UE ? #EPhearing2019

Likely a leading figure on EU digital policy, Commissioner-designate Sylvie Goulard says Europe should set global rules on AI and 5G as it did with data protection and GDPR. "This is exactly what we should try to go again."

@GoulardSylvie Goulard also ventures in the fraught territory of intermediary liablility and proposed changes to the eCommerce Directive, known as the Digital Services Act. She says there will be no change to liability per se, but the Comm. will look 'what needs to be updated or improved'.
@GoulardSylvie Other than that, loads of scorn from MEPs for allegations against Goulard for payments to a former assistant (under OLAF investigation) and a lucrative sidegig as consultant for the Berggruen Institute while sitting in the European Parliament. Rather hostile reception.
