At a meeting of representatives of the committees on industry and culture, a joint letter was adopted with a recommendation that the candidature of Gabriel should be supported at the upcoming plenary session of the European Parliament in July. Mariya Gabriel, who is a candidate of the EPP and GERB, needed a majority of  2/3 of MEPs' votes, but at the end all parliamentary groups gave a positive assessment of her presentation yesterday at the public hearing on Digital Economy and Digital Society.
