). That makes the task of parcelling out its big jobs extra-fiddly. There are four vacancies: the presidencies of the European Commission , the European Council and the European Central Bank as well as the “high representative” for the’s foreign and security policy. A convention of 2014 says the commission job should go to the “lead candidate” of the largest group in the parliament.
