[...] Just a quick post about the German discussion about the new EU Commissioner. (and a part of our concerted blog campaign). btw: Jan wrote a very useful overview of the state of play in all EU member states. [...]

Excuse me, is it really that hard to copy and paste the names of (would-be) Commissioners? It is László KovácS, with an “s” at the end. Plus, you did bother with the special characters for LT and SI, you could do the same for HU and SK… Getting someone’s name right shows a minimum of respect towards the person and the country he represents.
Thank you.

BTW: does anyone know if national hearings of EU Commissioners are usual practice in other member states?

Currently Austria’s most likely candidate for Commissioner is Wilhelm Molterer. However, Othmas Karas (MEP of the same party, ÖVP), wants a national hearing the Austrian parliament (which all others from the ÖVP oppose) and has yesterday brought up Christoph Leitl, president of the Austrian Chamber of Commerce as possible candidate (but only if there would be a Commission portfolio for SMEs)
