On 30 September 2014, Vytenis Andriukaitis, Member designate of the EC in charge of Health and Food safety, was heard by the Committee on Environment, Public Health and Food safety of the European Parliament to test his general competences, European commitment and specific expertise related to his portfolio. Vytenis Andriukaitis had the opportunity to make an opening statement, he took part in a question and answer session and made a closing statement.
