Today, the president of the Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, announced the new European commissioners.
“President @vonderleyen will present her proposal for the new College this morning to the media. The press conference will take place shortly after the presentation to the presidents of the political groups of the European Parliament in Strasbourg," wrote the representative of Mrs. von der Leyen, Eric Mamer, in a post.
According to the latest information for Greece, the Transport portfolio has been locked with enhanced powers.
In the past there was information that Greece will take over the Regional Development portfolio.
It is recalled that Kyriakos Mitsotakis has proposed Apostolos Tzitzikostas for the post of Greek commissioner.
As Politico had written justifying why the Transport portfolio would be given to Greece, "Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis made it clear that he expected a significant portfolio in return for the help and role he played in securing another five years for Von der Leyen . The supervision of the transport portfolio can be a key to strengthening the shipping industry of Greece".
