EUROPEAN COMMISSION XIII 2019-2024 IINNTTRROODDUUCCTITOINON President-elect Ursula von der Leyen announced today list of Commissioners designate and their respective portfolios. This follows a series of formal interviews President-elect von der Leyen held, over the past weeks, with each of the persons suggested by the Member States as candidates for Commissioner. Now, the European Parliament must then give its consent to the entire College of Commissioners, including the President and the High- Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/Vice-President of the European Commission. This is preceded by hearings of the Commissioners-designate in the relevant parliamentary committees, in line with Rule 125 of the Parliament's Rules of Procedure. Once the European Parliament has given its consent, the European Council formally appoints the European Commission, in line with Article 17(7) TEU. European Commission XIII for the first time in history has almost a perfect gender balance, with 13 women and 14 men. In this publication, we present each Commissioner-designate, her/his political affiliation, former roles, and allocated portfolio.
