BRUSSELS - The incoming head of the EU executive named her 27-strong team on Tuesday, promising it would focus on addressing changes in climate, technology and demography that are generating anxiety in communities across the 28-member bloc.
Announcing the key roles in her line-up, she said Denmark’s Margrethe Vestager would remain in charge of competition policy. Her proposed team offers rough gender balance, a plus point for EU lawmakers, with 13 women and 14 men. Holding the influential competition portfolio for the past five years, Vestager has fought monopolies and imposed hefty fines on tech giants Apple and Alphabet unit Google.
