Jessika Roswall confirmed as new EU environment commissioner after parliamentary approval

Jessika Roswall has been approved as the new EU environment commissioner after receiving support from several political groups in the European Parliament. This follows a challenging public hearing where her performance raised some concerns. Despite initial doubts about her responses during the hearing, Roswall's commitment to uphold existing environmental legislation has been welcomed by green groups. She aims to advance the European Green Deal and improve water resilience. Simultaneously, Hadja Lahbib was confirmed as commissioner for preparedness and crisis management. The full European Commission will require final approval from MEPs in a vote later this month to officially take office in December.
