Commissioner hearings end without conclusions as the real negotiations begin

Tuesday (12 November) marked the last day of hearings at the European Parliament, yet no conclusions were reached – in a clear indication that all political parties have laid their cards on the table and are now negotiating over who gets what.

Evaluation meetings have been postponed with no timeline set, leaving many unanswered questions: what is happening behind closed doors, and what can we expect from the hearings’ conclusions in the coming days? 

To break down what has happened with the hearings so far, host Evi Kiorri is joined by Euractiv’s politics reporters Nicoletta Ionta and Magnus Lund Nielsen – who have been following most of the sessions for the past two weeks.
