It would appear that Slovenian telecoms entrepreneur Violeta Bulc is on the verge of being named as the new EC transport commissioner, after yesterday giving evidence to Euro MPs demonstrating how much transport knowledge she managed to cram in the space of just four days. She turned in an impressive appearance according to observers – an impression hard to escape if you watch the summing up speech embedded in the article. The last step remains ratification by the European Parliament, in what is likely to be the final act of the inauguration of Jean-Claude Juncker’s new commission, and is expected to take place tomorrow.
