Sylvie Goulard given rough ride by European Parliament

France’s European Commissioner-designate, Sylvie Goulard, faced a European Parliament hearing on Wednesday (2 October), where she was mostly questioned on issues of integrity, rather than the substance of the job on the table. EURACTIV France reports.

89 MEPs of three different parliamentary committees, the Committee on Industry, the Single Market and Culture, voted against the French candidate, while 29 voted in favour.
