Please click here to download an updated list of names that have been speculated to be nominated as next European Commissioners. Also, the desired portfolio is added for those Member States that have expressed it.
Until now 13 Member States have nominated (in different levels of official announcements) their new Commissioners and only one of them (Czech Republic) is a woman, responding to Juncker’s bid for a gender-balanced European Commission. Official nominations by the Member States will continue over the next weeks in view of the European Council on August 30th that will decide on the position of High Representative of the EU. The new Commissioners will be vetted by the European Parliament in October following hearings with all nominated candidates.
