  • The UK's Lord Hill has faced the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee for a second time, having failed to win its support first time round
  • The Dutch nominee, Frans Timmermans, has been appointed to the new role of First Vice-President of the Commission
  • Mr Timmermans has been facing scrutiny from an Open Conference of Presidents, a special committee that all MEPs are invited to attend
