The hearing of Commissioner-designate Neven Mimica took place on the 04.06.13 before the Committee on Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO), in association with the Committee on Environment, Public Health and Food Safety (ENVI). In the afternoon, during a meeting behind closed doors, the coordinators of the IMCO Committee expressed their opinion on Mr Mimica's suitability as Commissioner for Consumer Policy. Their conclusions, which took into account the opinion of the ENVI Committee associated in the procedure, were examined by the Conference of Committee Chairs on 05.06.13 and then conveyed to the Conference of Presidents. Unless it decides to seek further information, the Conference of Presidents will declare the hearing closed on 06.06.13. It is then up to the European Parliament as a whole to express its position officially during the plenary sitting of 12.06.13.
