"Olivér Várhelyi has shown that he is fit for the job", said Michael Gahler MEP, EPP Group Spokesman on Foreign Affairs, assessing today's hearing of the Commissioner-designate for Neighbourhood and Enlargement.

"During the hearing, Mr Várhelyi presented his ambitious agenda for EU enlargement to the Western Balkans and for our relationship with our neighbours in the East and South. He also made it very clear that as European Commissioner, he will act in the European interest and will not accept any instructions from outside”, highlighted Gahler.

The political group coordinators will meet on Thursday afternoon to evaluate his performance.
