STVR | Last day to announce EU Commissioner candidates

25 of the 27 EU Member States have already nominated candidates for the new European Commission. So far, 17 are men and 7 are women. According to the President of the European Commission Ursula von den Leyen, only Bulgaria has nominated both a man and a woman. The President also confirmed that there will be a new position of European Commissioner for Defense. Viktor Daněk, Deputy Director of EUROPEUM Institute, commented for Slovakian STVR.

(...) Exceptionally important will be the economic area, specifically future arms development and purchases. One of the main challenges will be the need to reduce the fragmentation of European weapons systems.
