Manifesto #STOPCANETE
Miguel Arias Cañete has been nominated as the next EU Commissioner on the combined portfolio of Climate Action and Energy. During the last two weeks, several incompatibilities and conflicts of interest have come to light, showing the unsuitability of Mr Arias Cañete as future commissioner.
The appointment of Mr Arias Cañete to the Climate Action and Energy portfolio is particularly unfortunate because of his well-known history of conflicts of interest. It is extremely difficult to imagine how the European Union could ever reach its policy goals for renewables and climate change becoming a world leader in these sectors under the direction of one former chairman of two oil companies that handle fuel storage and supply. Once appointed by President Juncker to join his team, Arias Cañete immediately divested the shares he held in the two companies. However, this does not resolve his conflicts of interest as the oil companies remain controlled by close family members. We would like to firmly state that his personal private links with the energy industry are absolutely incompatible with the role of a EU Commissioner at the service of the general interest.
As a Spanish Minister for Agriculture and Environment, his policies found extreme opposition from civil society actors, as his policies on water management, energy and coast protection were by no means compatible with the need to protect environment and secure the energetic transition, and often contrary to certain European directives and regulations.
As an MEP he fought for EU subsidies for bull breeding, while his wife owns a bull breeding company, managed by their two sons. Arias Cañete was responsible for the negotiations of the reformed common agricultural policy on Spain’s behalf. Through another company, his wife has received payments under the CAP.
Furthermore, Mr Arias Cañete has also showed a sexist political profile with recent claims against women’s intellectual capacities that shouldn’t be accepted within the European institutions.
As Members of the European Parliament, we want to show our most deep concern because of the serious damage to the credibility of the European institutions that the appointment of Arias Cañete should cause.
For all above reasons, we formally ask the Commission President-elected Mr. Jean-Claude Juncker to reconsider this appointment as it clearly clashes with one of the EU treaties requirements, the compromise of Commissioners to be independent and work in favour of the public interest.
