Three Things I’ll be Watching for this Week
- On Thursday morning, the Environment Committee will launch two comitology challenges on MRLs. The challenges are tabled by the usual alliance of the: S&D, Renew, Verts/ALE, and The Left. These two votes will give an indication of the balance of power in the Committee and whether progressive political interests have the majority.
- On Wednesday, the names of the Commissioner-designates should be published. There will be a lot of focus on who is getting the chance to lead the roles. It has been a long time since a Commissioner asked for the Environment portfolio.
- What I’ll be looking out for is the publication of the Mission Letters. This will give a good idea of the next 5 years of work on chemicals and envirionment policy looks like.
