#EPhearings2014 Any time now will begin the hearing of another key commissioner-designate - Pierre #Moscovici, tasked to lead the economy and finance portfolio. He is also one of the problematic candidates because of his failures to upturn the French economy and to consolidate the French public finances.

Several times he excused himself saying that he was chosen for this position by Jean-Claude Juncker. The fact is, though, that he was nominated by the French government

Today is a #Eurogroup day with two hot issues on the agenda. The first is #Greece's exit from the bailout programme. The other will take place in an expanded EU-format as it deals with the completion of the banking union and the reform of the #ESM. Although not on the agenda officially, another hot issue is the new government in Italy. Yesterday, President Sergio Mattarella gave Giuseppe Conte a mandate to form a coalition government between the populist M5S and the eurosceptic Lega. Stay tuned for live updates
