At a hearing in the European Parliament, the new European Commission’s designated Executive Vice-President for the Economy, Valdis Dombrovskis, spoke of empowering Europe’s green and digital transformation with the EU’s economic policies.

The EPP Group’s Esther de Lange, a Member of the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee and Vice-Chair of the EPP Group, says Dombrovskis, a member of the EPP family, has proven his effectiveness as the outgoing Commissioner for the Euro and Social Dialogue and will be a strong asset for the incoming Commission.
