ROMANIAN COMMISSIONER NAMED
The future Romanian commissioner has been officially announced: the
liberal Senator Varujan Vosganian has been nominated for the post.
This information was made public in Bucharest on 25 October by the
Romanian Prime Minister, Calin Popescu-Tariceanu, during a meeting
with his government. Vosganian is 48 years old, of Armenian origin
and with a generally economic profile. Bulgaria has not yet made an
official decision, although a national radio source has confirmed
that Meglena Kuneva, the Bulgarian minister for European integration,
is the favourite. Once the Bulgarian candidate has been named, the
next step will be a hearing of the two candidates at the European
Parliament during its plenary session in Strasbourg from 27 to 30
November.
