Voxpot | As European Commissioner, Síkela will be responsible for hundreds of billions
Jozef Síkela will have a portfolio with a very broad agenda in the new European Commission. He will be in charge of cooperation with countries in Africa or Asia, where he faces the challenge of competing with China. Martin Vokálek, Executive Director of EUROPEUM Institute, commented for Voxpot.
Síkela will now have a portfolio on which there is already a consensus - that the European Union should be more active in third countries and should be a stronger global player. He will therefore have a freer hand.
