Her “college” of commissioners will take office on Nov. 1, assuming they secure approval from the European Parliament - not a given after it only narrowly backed the German in July. Juncker dubbed his team the “political” commission. Von der Leyen said hers would be “geopolitical”, implying that the EU should play a greater role in world affairs.Announcing the key roles in her line-up, she said Denmark’s Margrethe Vestager would remain in charge of competition policy and Irishman Phil Hogan would take on trade.
“We will take bold action against climate change, build our partnership with the United States, define our relations with a more self-assertive China and be a reliable neighbor, for example to Africa,” she said.

Waste of money.
