Extraordinary European Summit in Brussels on 30 June and 1 July


EU leaders will meet at an extraordinary summit in Brussels tonight to continue the process of appointing leading positions in the Union’s institutions.

This is the third summit since the completion of the European elections, which should reach a consensus on who will represent the EU in the next five-year period.

The EU should nominate candidates for the presidency of the European Council, the European Commission, the head of diplomacy and the president of the European Central Bank.

At the previous summit on June 20, none of the candidates had a majority.

Meanwhile, consultations between EU leaders and representatives of leading groups in the European Parliament continue.
