"Concerns about the Romanian nominee: European attitudes and political involvement unknown. He has been very much on the right-wing of politics and on the payroll of big economic tycoons.  We will have to explore his European profile but also his acceptance of European standards and European values."

TOUGH QUESTIONS AHEAD FOR ROMANIAN AND BULGARIAN COMMISSION NOMINEES

26 October 2006 - The European Commission candidates nominated by Romania and Bulgaria face a rigorous parliamentary inquiry, it was revealed today.

Socialist Group vice-presidents Hannes Swoboda and Jan Marinus Wiersma voiced concern about the Romanian nominee in particular but said both candidates would be expected to answer searching questions in a detailed inquiry procedure.

Romania's nominee is senator Varujan Vosganian and Bulgaria is expected to confirm later today that its nominee will be EU affairs minister Meglena Kuneva.

In a joint statement, the MEPs said: "We will be very fair but very tough.

"The Bulgarian candidate is well known for her European attitudes and political involvement whereas the Romanian is unknown. What is known is that he has been very much on the right-wing of politics and on the payroll of big economic tycoons.

"As far as the Romanian candidate is concerned, it is clear that we will have to explore his European profile but also his acceptance of European standards and European values."

The Euro MPs said the two nominees, if accepted, would push the political balance of the European Commission to the right. They added: "We shall be demanding from the Commission President, Jose Manuel Barroso, that he keeps Commission policy in the centre of the political spectrum."
