Commissioner Hearings: Ylva Johansson

Employment Minister Johansson is “someone to get the job done”, according to von der Leyen. She will take over some duties from current Greek Commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos as Commissioner for Home Affairs. Her main task will be to relaunch asylum reform efforts and make sure there are legal migration routes to the EU. Johansson’s services will also tackle terrorist content online and radicalisation. After an underwhelming hearing on 1 October, the Swede will have to face further questions.
