“Mairead McGuinness performed very well today. She has proven that she has mastered a difficult subject matter and reassured us that she will be a competent and impartial Commissioner who will fight for strong and fair financial markets in Europe“, commented Markus Ferber MEP, EPP Group Spokesman on Economic and Monetary Affairs, after the hearing of Mairead McGuinness MEP, Commissioner-designate for Financial Services.

“Against the background of the challenges of the pandemic and a potentially messy Brexit, we need a strong, decisive and competent Commissioner for financial services who is well connected in the European Parliament. Mairead McGuinness has proven today that she can fulfil that role.”
