Ursula von der Leyen was approved for a second term as the EU’s executive Commission.
European Union leaders agreed on Thursday on the officials who will be the face of the world’s biggest trading bloc on the global stage in coming years on everything from anti-trust investigations to foreign policy, according to the EU presidency of the Council.
The trio was anointed by leaders at a summit in Brussels despite reserves from far-right officials including Italian Prime minister Giorgia Meloni and her Hungarian counterpart Viktor Orban. Both Ms von der Leyen and Ms Kallas should now be approved by European politicians. Mr Costa’s nomination only needed the leaders’ approval, and he will start in his new role in autumn.We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues.
