The political leaders of the EU countries will gather today in Brussels for a two-day summit. The most important topics are the proposal for the presidency of the Commission for the next term and the EU’s strategic agenda, which is the guiding document for legislative work for the next five years.
The current president of the EU Commission Ursula von der Leyen is a strong candidate for a second term as head of the commission. However, the European Parliament must also approve the chairman in a vote.
