Nicolas Schmit (Luxembourg), Jutta Urpilainen (Finland), Janusz Wojciechowski (Poland), Ylva Johansson (Sweden) and Stella Kyriakides (Cyprus) will take part in hearings at the Parliament on 1 October.

Before the European Parliament can vote the new European Commission led by Ursula von der Leyen into office, parliamentary committees will assess the suitability of all commissioners-designate.

Each candidate commissioner will attend a live-streamed, three-hour hearing in front of the committee or committees responsible for their proposed portfolio. The hearings take place between Monday 30 September and Tuesday 8 October.
