02/10/2019 (Agence Europe) – Stella Kyriakides passed her parliamentary hearing with MEPs. On Wednesday 2 October, she received the support of all the coordinators of the political groups after her presentation to the Committee on the Environment and Agriculture the previous evening (see EUROPE 12339/5). Only the Identity and Democracy group opposed her, citing the weakness of her responses on pesticides. According to our information, other groups also raised this issue at the coordinators' meeting, without going so far as to veto Mrs Kyriakides’ candidature. (SPj)
