EU trade commissioner forced out of office following Covid-19 scandal vanguardnews
Hogan had been under fire for having attended a dinner in his home country of Ireland last week that contravened the nation’s coronavirus rules.
Green Party leader Eamon Ryan of the governing coalition also told national broadcaster RTE that the government no longer had confidence in the commissioner. The trade commissioner is one of the most important positions in the powerful Brussels body, responsible for negotiating trade agreements on behalf of all 27 member states with partners around the world. Hogan’s role was also key in the ongoing negotiations with Britain over its post-Brexit trading relationship with the EU.
According to Department of Health regulations, a person is required to restrict their movements for 14 days if they arrive in Ireland from a country not on the green list.
