On 10th September, European Commission President-elect Ursula von der Leyen announced the structure of the new Commission. The Commission will have a total of eight Vice-Presidents – three Executive Vice-Presidents (Frans Timmermans, Margrethe Vestager and Valdis Dombrovskis) and five more Vice-Presidents, all of which will also have a Commissioner role.
As a next step, the European Parliament will hold hearings for the College-designate, and after giving consent the European Council will formally appoint the Commission.
