BRUSSELS, July 14 (Reuters) - The European Commission stuck to its guns on Friday, saying it was not reconsidering EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager's pick of a U.S. economist to a senior job helping to oversee Big Tech despite criticism from French ministers and EU lawmakers. Fiona Scott Morton, 56, the former chief economist at the U.S. Department of Justice during former President Barack Obama's tenure, will take up her three-year stint on Sept. 1 when the current chief economist, Pierre Regibeau, retires. She will be the first non-EU national, first U.S. national and first woman for the job. They cited the strategic importance of the post, potential conflicts of interest due to Scott Morton's previous work with Big Tech, and her previous public antitrust comments. Head of the centre-right group European People's Party Manfred Weber, president of the liberals' group Renew Europe Stephane Sejourne, head of the socialists group Iratxe Garcia Perez and the heads of the green party Philippe Lamberts and Terry Reintke said they opposed the new hire.

Dacian Cioloş se numără printre primii 20 de eurodeputaţi în ceea ce priveşte influenţa politică şi în social media, potrivit Influence Index, realizat de VoteWatch. Pe prima poziţie se află preşedintele Parlamentului European, David Maria Sassoli (Italia, S&D), urmat de Manfred Weber (Germania, preşedintele PPE), Antonio Tajani (Italia, PPE) şi Iratxe García Pérez (Spania, preşedintele Grupului S&D), scrie euractiv.ro. Germania are cei mai mulţi reprezentanţi în Top 20 - 5, în timp ce Spania, Franţa şi Italia au câte trei. Perioada petrecută în PE joacă un rol important în ceea ce priveşte influenţa politică. Eurodeputaţii mai tineri adună puncte mai multe în utilizarea social media, pe care le folosesc pentru a influenţa dezbaterile publice şi pentru construi o comunitate care să le sprijine ideile.
