ČT24 | Síkela could be EU Trade Commissioner
Ursula von der Leyen will present the new EU Commissioners list on Wednesday 18 September. The President of the European Commission may come with a new portfolio that has not been there before. Until then it is not sure what portfolio will Jozef Síkela get. Whether it would be the wanted trade discussed Žiga Faktor, deputy director of EUROPEUM Institute and head of the Brussels office, live on ČT24.
When they present the list, the crucial step will come when the European Parliament can prepare for the proverbial barbecue. The nominees will appear before the committee of the European Parliament under which the portfolio falls and there will be testing, which may accept the candidates or propose others.
You can watch the full interview here.
