Poland's EU nominee gets through after second hearing
By EUobserver
Poland's pick for EU agriculture commissioner, Janusz Wojciechowski, won MEPs' approval after a second mini-hearing in Brussels on Tuesday. He got approval from "all" the political groups, Polish MEPs from his own party said. The nominee gave more detailed answers on issues such as US tariffs and industrialised farming and he spoke in his native language, instead of in halting English as in his first hearing last week.
