Commission-President elect Dr Ursual Von der Leyen has unveiled the proposed composition of the European Commission 2019-2024 and allocation of porfolios. The European Parliament will audit Commissioner-designates in the next weeks before validating the College of Commissioners as a whole during a plenary vote in the next months. The European Commission is expected to take office on 1 November 2019.
