The European Parliament gave its stamp of approval as the European Commissioner for Sustainable Transport and Tourism to Greece’s nominee Apostolos Tzitzikostas despite a deadly 2023 train crash in Greece.

He will hold the post for five years and sailed through the ratification hearing before the Transport and Tourism Committee despite critics complaining Greece shouldn’t have oversight of a portfolio that includes train safety.
