Ursula von der Leyen Unveils New EU Commission Team

News summary

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is set to unveil her new team of Commissioners, addressing vital roles on trade, competition, and the green agenda amidst a backdrop of political maneuvering. The announcement follows the sudden resignation of French Commissioner Thierry Breton, who accused von der Leyen of undermining his candidacy, leading to France's swift nomination of Stéphane Séjourné. Political tensions have also arisen from Slovenia's candidate, Marta Kos, facing delays due to internal disputes, affecting von der Leyen's ability to finalize the portfolios. The upcoming Commission is expected to navigate significant challenges, including the implications of the U.S. presidential election and intensifying competition with China. Gender parity in nominations remains a contentious issue, as many member states did not fulfill von der Leyen's request for both male and female candidates. With mounting pressures from geopolitical crises, the decisions made in this formation will significantly influence the EU's future direction.
