"Tonight is a very special occasion for me since it will be my last speech after five years as a European Commissioner. Therefore I will not give you a lecture on the single market and financial services. I want to make it more personal by telling you about the three main lessons I have learnt from those 5 exciting years in the European Commission". Speech by Commissioner Barnier at the Bocconi University, Milan.
As of 1 November, four new Commissioners inherit the portfolio of Michel Barnier: Jonathan Hill, Elżbieta Bieńkowska, Věra Jourová, and Günther Oettinger. Commissioner Hill will be in charge of Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union, whereas Commissioner Bieńkowska will take responsibility for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs. Other policies (Copyright and Online services) have been incorporated into the portfolio of Günther Oettinger, the Commissioner in charge of Digital Economy and Society, and Corporate governance has been entrusted to Věra Jourová, Commissioner for Justice, Consumer and Gender Equality.
